Hey everyone, I want to be honest about something I keep seeing: the pipeline of creators is exploding, and brands know it. Median campaign pay is around $3,000 and dropping, and ads on Meta are telling brands they can hire creators for $1 to $30 a campaign. That's what lowballing looks like at scale. But there's another side of this industry that's growing, and it's the people who manage the deals. 💼 Creator manager salaries average about $81K 💼 Senior roles on LinkedIn are posting at $170K to $190K 💼 Freelance managers typically earn 10% to 20% commission or monthly retainers So I'm adding a Creator Manager course to The Creator Advantage, coming in 2027. 🎉 Inside, I'll teach you how to: 1️⃣ Land a creator manager job with brands and agencies 2️⃣ Build a freelance management business with your own clients You don't have to give up creating. You already know how to pitch brands, read briefs, and spot good deals. This puts those skills to work on the side of the table that sets the price instead of taking it. This is included for premium members. Your access, trainings, and job postings stay the same, and weekly postings continue through Dec 1 then it changes up! 👇 Comment "MANAGER" below so I know you're interested, and tell me: would you rather land a job or build a freelance business?

There’s too much LEARNING happening in here and not enough ACTION. 👀 And I’m changing that starting October 1st. You do not need another app. You do not need a complicated system. You do not need to film 847 videos and pray one turns into a paycheck. The goal: land your first $5,000 month using the skills you already have without relying on creator apps, complicated systems, or a filming nightmare. But this only works if you actually participate. So before October starts, I want you to do 3 things: 1️⃣ Comment “I’M IN” + your October income goal below. Even if it’s $100, $1000, $10000 I don’t care. All goals are important! 2️⃣ Complete the 3-Day Workshop replays and action steps so you’re coming into the challenge already a step ahead. 3️⃣ BONUS: Bring one creator with you & I’ll send you 15 holiday campaigns that are currently running before anybody else sees them. 🤏🏼🔥 Grab your Creator Advantage affiliate link, send it to ONE creator you know is tired of spinning their wheels, and invite them to do the challenge alongside you. So grab your affiliate link ( that 50% commission) and start helping others earn too! Consider that your first income-producing action of the challenge. October is not about consuming more information. It’s about pitching. Following up. Making offers. Getting paid. 👇🏼 Comment “I’M IN” + your October goal. Then go complete your next 2 tasks. No lurking in October. We’re moving. 🔥

About this brief Best Buy is casting a diverse group of relatable, authentic people for its holiday digital video and social media advertising campaign. The campaign will feature natural, understated performances across approximately 8-26 different spots, with talent potentially being called back for more specific spots as individual concepts are approved. Twelve roles are listed across men, women, teens, and children, including Male/Female 20s, Male/Female 30s, Male/Female 40s, Male/Female Seniors aged 50-65, Male/Female Teens aged 12-18, and Male/Female Children aged 4-11. Talent should bring warm, positive energy and feel natural on camera rather than overly polished or commercial. Compensation is $100 per hour for the session plus a $1,500 buyout, with an additional 15% agency fee. Usage includes all session materials, edits, versions, variations, and cut-downs, with perpetual, worldwide usage across all media excluding broadcast. The work will take place in Bloomington, Minnesota between September 22 and October 2, 2026. Suggested angle Submit authentic, camera-natural talent across the full age range - strong family and lifestyle creators, and anyone who reads as a genuine person rather than a trained actor, will fit best. Local Minnesota availability across the shoot window is essential. Gina O'Tool · Influencer Marketing Manager [email protected]

Okay y’all… can we talk about MATCHD for a second?! 👀🔥 I know Rebecca is getting ready to launch it, and I’m honestly SO excited for this community. Especially for those of you who are newer to UGC and are still trying to figure out where to find brands, who to reach out to, and how to actually get opportunities. Having something like MATCHD to help connect us with brands could be SUCH a game changer. And I think it’s easy when you’re a beginner to feel like everyone else knows something you don’t. Trust me… we’ve all been there. 😂 But this is exactly why having a community like this matters. We have people learning alongside us, sharing what’s working, and now Rebecca is creating another resource to help us get in front of opportunities. I’m seriously so excited to see what comes from this. Rebecca, you’re really doing something BIG for this community with this one. 👏🏼 And to everyone in here who’s just getting started: PAY ATTENTION. 👀 You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need to be willing to learn, take action, and actually use the opportunities when they come. I have a feeling we’re about to see A LOT of wins in here. 🔥 Who else is excited?! 👇🏼

I listened in on 2 live UGC calls over the last 2 days that were hosted by my $600 course (that I originally started out with). I quickly realized that although I feel like I'm behind and not where I'd like to be in this journey, I've actually learned a TON since joining this community. All I heard in my big course training was how "everyone needs a Canva portfolio" and "keep applying" on the same apps that 10k others are applying on. I guess I said all of that to say how thankful I am to be here. Seeing how much I've learned in such a short amount of time is pretty encouraging- maybe overwhelming at times, but still exciting! I can't wait to continue to learn and grow with you guys as new creators! When MATCHD launches, we will be unstoppable!!! And I'm here for it 👏
