What is Maria Solodar known on the Internet for? Reviews about her are very contradictory. Some admire her, others are outraged that learning from her is money down the drain. Mary herself introduces herself as an Internet marketer, teacher, entrepreneur, writer and traveler. She teaches copywriting, marketing, brand management and SMM marketing, and for quite a lot of money. The girl in one of her videos tells that she earns six-figure amounts, although she is only 23 years old. What do the reviews say about her? Maria Solodar is a liar or not? You will learn the answers to these questions by reading the article.
Promises that in 2 months her students will become marketers
Such promises of Mary are contrary to common sense. In full, you cannot learn Internet marketing in 2 months, 4 or even a year, because this profession is very broad and consists of many areas. You can fully master one of the components of Internet marketing, such as contextual advertising, analytics or SMM. This will require about a year of full work. You will need to learn how to collect statistics, research a product, and then get your hand in and practice as an assistant marketer.
It teaches not internet marketing, but information business
Maria Solodar sells courses in Internet marketing, so no matter what she talks about contextual advertising, SMM, a sales funnel, she remains a seller of courses, an information business man. Two-month training, during which Maria teaches marketing theory, gives a very superficial knowledge.
Recently, Solodar has even broken its course into different directions. Because it is obvious that in a couple of months it is simply impossible to “shove” all this knowledge into a student. There are few positive reviews about the school of Maria Solodar. Those that exist are either written in carbon copy, or from people who, after completing their studies, followed in the footsteps of their teacher. They settled in as assistants to Mary and now also educate people at her school. This once again confirms that she does not teach real Internet marketing, but teaches to sell info-courses.
Gives outdated information for a novelty
In one of the videos on her YouTube channel, Maria Solodar talks about 2018 online marketing trends. In fact, what she claims to be new is the trend of the nineties, or at best two thousandths. This is a comment under the video that one viewer noticed, and the rest supported him with likes and put him on the top.
At one of the trainings, Solodar talks about a trend marketing chip. This is a letter stating that the proposed product will increase in value in a short time. They offer to buy it right now for less money. Can it be that the audience in the audience does not remember that this technique was used by television stores in the early 2000s, and since 2010 it has appeared in landing pages?
According to reviews, the sales funnel Maria Solodar also presents to students as something completely new. It turns out that she gives stale techniques for new ones, plus to all, very little useful information in each training. But she invites to enroll in her next course, where she gives out another small dose of benefit.
Doesn't understand the material that teaches
During live performances, Solodar swims in the information that he is trying to convey, inaccurately formulated. She is often confused, careless about numbers, although Internet marketing is about numbers. So, at one of the seminars, she, explaining the schedule, speaks of the number 300, then corrects by 3,000. Then she says that it doesn’t matter, and notes that she is not one of those who love math.
In fairness, let's say that Internet marketing is if not calculations, then at least conclusions about some numbers. A person who does not know how to analyze them can never get into a serious company as an Internet marketer. It is clear why the girl is popular only among dubious information businessmen like representatives of Business Youth (BM).
In the reviews of the courses of Maria Solodar, the people who passed them give another illustrative example of her incompetence. At one of the seminars, she says that her sales funnel brought the entrepreneur 1,300 rubles for each ruble invested. According to her, the ROI (return on investment ratio) is 1,300%. How is it that Mary, teaching others to marketing, does not know the formula for finding ROI: (income - expenses) / expenses * 100%?
Obviously, a profit of 1,300 rubles does not mean at all that ROI = 1,300%. This is not to say that the return on investment is sky-high. Maria, of course, does not provide examples of cases.
Gives superficial knowledge
In teaching Internet marketing, each person needs to be approached individually, because knowledge is not simple. Judging by the reviews of the school of marketers, Maria Solodar does not do this at all. When she noticed that the students began to ask for personal coaching or to demand at least some explanation, she said that coaching costs 100,000 rubles. It turns out that her courses, which in principle are not very cheap, imply that the student simply listens and does not ask any questions.
He is a theorist, not a practitioner
According to reviews of Maria Solodar, her courses do not contain any particularly valuable, exclusive information. They do not prepare a person for further work with clients, do not give proper practice and the opportunity to get a job in some kind of private company in the future.
All of Maria’s clients are information business. These are people like Ayaz Shabutdinov, Pyotr Osipov, Mikhail Dashkiev from BM.
Teaching the theory of auto-funnels, Solodar gives examples of information products, rather than services and real goods. This is because it is precisely in the information products that the auto-funnels work best. Of course, serious companies, such as Yandex, are also involved in this. But for information businessmen, such series of letters turn out to be more intrusive, and less benefit the client.
Contradicts himself
According to reviews of Maria Solodar, at one of her first trainings, she gave advice to beginners. If someone wants to learn how to work with Google Adwords or Yandex Direct, in no case do you need to buy training from Google and Yandex, because only quacks sell such knowledge for money. According to Solodar, any good information can be found on the Internet for free. Google and Yandex are interested in having you advertise with them and be successful in this, which means they help them build their business. It is noteworthy that in a year or two Mary herself sold such knowledge in her courses for a lot of money.
Owns mythic companies
Maria Solodar presents herself as an oversized owner of several companies, which, according to her, are leaders in their fields. They are not in the list of certified agencies of Yandex, Google and VKontakte. This means that Maria has a very small budget, and she does not have many clients. In addition, the girl says that she owns a publishing house. Note that when you try to follow the link to the publisher posted on her site, redirects are turned on. Redirects to the block with the sale of courses Solodar, and the site of the claimed publisher is not in sight. The same goes for her other successful businesses. No traces of their activities can be found on the Internet, which casts doubt on their existence.
The girl wrote a book about travels, on Instagram photos from trips, she supports the image of a successful person. The immense experience in Internet marketing is not backed up by any cases. Positive feedback about Maria Solodar on her site was left primarily by BM leaders.
After training, the girl releases people with dubious and very poor knowledge. It clearly demonstrates the problem of information business in Russia: people who do not have special knowledge, teach other people to engage in activities that they themselves have not studied.
