Drop your Instagram, TikTok, portfolio, whatever you’re actively using. 2️⃣ What kind of creator are you? UGC, influencer, photographer, strategist, editor, brand manager, something else? 3️⃣ What are you currently trying to get paid for? One-off content? Monthly retainers? Campaign management? Strategy?

So introduce yourself 👇🏼 I want to know exactly who’s in here.

Hey everyone! 🖤 Yesterday I DMed 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 of you personally with one question: 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰? A third of you answered, and the answers overlapped a lot. Here are the top 3 issues you agreed on: 🔥 #1: Time / consistency: Life is busy, and it's hard to keep going week after week. 🔥 #2: Pitching: Not knowing what to say to brands, or whether to hit send. 🔥 #3: Finding clients / retainers: Not knowing where the paying clients are, or how to turn one deal into monthly income. (Confidence, content, and pricing came up too.) Here's what surprised me: 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬𝐧,𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦. You can make the content. What's in the way is finding the time, getting in front of brands, and turning that into paying clients. One more thing stood out: 𝟗𝟓.𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧,𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐲𝐞𝐭. That's not a callout. It's good news, because Day 3 is all about pitching the brand, which is one of your top blocks. 𝐒𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞,𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏: 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐝. 📚 It's 3 days, and there are 5 days until October. One day at a time, you'll have time to spare. These issues are fixable, but more information won't fix them. Small actions, done consistently, with people cheering you on will. So that's what October is for. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 $𝟓𝐊 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 is built around exactly what you told me: ✅ Short weekly actions that fit a busy schedule ✅ Real pitching practice, so hitting send gets easier every week ✅ A focus on finding paying clients, not just making content ✅ Accountability here in the group, so you're not doing it alone 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐏𝐒 & 𝐀𝐂𝐗𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐓 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐑 𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐓𝐒. Lock in for October (takes 2 minutes): 🔒 Comment below with: 1️⃣ The day you'll finish Brief to Paid. Pick a date before October 1. Saying it out loud makes it real. 2️⃣ Come back and reply "Done ✅" to your own comment when you finish, so we can all celebrate you. 🎉 A win is a win! 3️⃣ Tag one member to finish with you. You'll keep each other honest.

I re did my video with a different hook and did this one for the brand of treats I had on hand. Looking for feedback!

Brief to Paid — Day 1 of 3 Today was step one of our loop: SEE THE BRIEF → MAKE THE CONTENT → PITCH THE BRAND Here's what we covered: The six questions underneath every brief — audience, problem/desire, campaign goal, likely KPI, required message, and creative freedom. We walked through this live using The Farmer's Dog's Crunchy Biscuits brief. Reading between the lines — deliverables that aren't stated, pay that's listed two different ways, deadlines that look closed but aren't. A brief tells you what a brand needs; your job is figuring out how to make someone care. What 80% of creators would make — and why we're not doing that. Generic product close-ups and "POV: you finally found…" openers are the default. We're building angles that stand out instead. 3 angles, each built on a KPI — not just "creative ideas," but angles engineered around one specific metric: watch-time, conversion, saves, engagement, or reach. Your homework (due before Day 2) 1. Review your 3 angles from today's chat. 2. Look at the brand's content style in the Meta Ad Library. (https://www.facebook.com/adlibrary) 3. Pick the one angle you feel is strongest to match to the brand! 4. Write the framework (use the Mini Strategy Template from today). 5. Comment your final locked-in strategy below this post. ⚠️ Homework is required for Day 2 access. If your strategy isn't in the comments before our next call, you won't be let into Day 2. This isn't just a formality. Day 2 is built entirely on the angle you lock in today, so there's nothing for you to work from if this step gets skipped. Drop your final strategy below 👇 See you tomorrow.

After class today, I asked a few of y’all what was ACTUALLY taught inside some of the other courses you’ve taken… And I was genuinely FLOORED. 😭 So I owe y’all an apology. I have been operating under the assumption that a lot of the basic creator knowledge had already been covered elsewhere, and that we could jump straight into strategy, positioning, pitching, campaign thinking, retainers, etc. Apparently… that was a very generous assumption. 😂 Some of y’all were handed information, but not enough of the actual FOUNDATION to know what to do with it. So I’m adjusting. To meet you where you stand TODAY. For the rest of September, I’m going to focus heavily on getting more of those foundational pieces inside Creator Advantage so you have something solid to build from and actually PLAY OFF OF. That does NOT mean we’re watering this community down or turning it into another “how to film a UGC video” course. It means I’m filling the gaps I didn’t realize were this big. Then come October, we’re picking right back up with the deeper skillsets, strategy, campaign execution, pitching, retainability, performance, and everything that actually moves you beyond being just another creator making content. I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS THIS BAD OUT THERE!!! And now that I understand what some of you were actually working with before coming in here… a LOT makes more sense. 😂 September = foundation. October = we turn the heat back up. 🔥 If you missed today. Drop below exactly where you are and what you feel stuck inside. I’m going to fix this bullshit!
