I need to share something not to flex but to show you what's actually possible. This past week, a brand with 22 million+ followers offered me a six-figure annual deal to be their female spokeswoman. Their director of marketing found me on a Cloud9 ad, went to my Instagram, saw my consistency, and reached out. I didn’t pitch the brand. Heck, I didnt even know they were hiring lol. And yes, it does help that I do have 170k followers on ig. However, remember that I made my first 6 figures with 300 followers. I literally had 1.5k followers in September of 2025, which was less than six months ago. I’ve been working with Cloud 9 for over a year now, and they’ve paid me over $50k in brand deals, and I started working with them as a complete beginner. I started off with basic raw talking head style-> and then started using skits + new creative styles as I progressed. I’m grateful for Vansh, the owner, for seeing my potential and investing in me, allowing me to grow. (lesson for you guys if you’re scared of pitching, brands want to invest in you, you just gotta ask) Anyways, Real OG’s in this group know that I only gained my followers recently. And just two years ago I was stocking shelves at Walmart in a small town in Minnesota. I was living off savings and had no followers, no connections, and no experience to my name. Then Perplexity AI reached out. Then Adobe. Then BeReal. Then Canva. Billion dollar brands. All inbound. All because I showed up consistently when nobody was watching. Every reel that got 12 views. Every video I filmed when I didn't feel like it. It was all compounding toward this moment. I just couldn't see it at the time. And neither can you. But that doesn't mean it's not building. Two things I want you to take from this: One: there is no ceiling to the creator economy. I started filming 30-second videos on my phone. Within five months I hit my first $10,000/month. Now I'm talking with brands who are offering me six-figures. $2,000 to $5,000 per video. $5,000 to $10,000/month retainers. This is not a side hustle. This is a real vehicle.

Hey ya'll! This one is a big one. The brand is Imaginart: https://www.imagine.art/ Imaginart makes $35 million a year, has over 1 million active users, and counts Fortune 500 companies like Unilever and Pepsi among their clients. They are one of the biggest AI creative platforms in the space and are now launching a brand new product, bringing us in to lead the content push from day one. Having a brand like this on your portfolio carries real weight. They have 280k followers on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imagineartofficial Here is an example of the content we are going for. This video hit 1.4 million views, earning the creator $800 from that single post alone: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DY76Db6SV6O/?igsh=MTgycXlnNWo0M3BhaQ== The deal is $10 base per video, $0.80 CPM across Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and X, and a $300 monthly retainer for 30 videos on a 2 month minimum. On target earnings that are achieved by using up the client's entire CPM budget are $2,360 per month for creators!!!! We are looking for men and women in their 20s and 30s based in the US, Canada, the UK, or Australia. Comment "IMAGINART" below and DM me your portfolio or Instagram profile link. I will be in touch directly. Alex

i want to share something about one of our students because i think it needs to be said out loud in this community... a few months ago @Stacy Parks was a stay at home mom of three in northern arizona, homeschooling her kids, supporting her husband, and quietly carrying the weight of feeling like she needed to do something more. she had spent a full year in digital marketing through network marketing and made absolutely nothing. and when you pour that much of yourself into something and see zero return it does something to your belief system. it makes you start to wonder if maybe you are just not cut out for this kind of thing.... she almost let that stop her. but she stayed open. and that is the only reason i am writing this post right now. she found UGC. she found this community. and she just did it. she started in april's UGC Games with no expectations. just a willingness to figure it out one week at a time around her kids, around her family schedule, around everything she was already carrying. and in June she made just under $5,000 from one brand!!! her husband watched the earnings go up on the platform every single day. he would look at the screen and just say... wow. because they both knew what it took to get here and they both knew what it meant for their family! the UGC games were a massive part of this. going through that challenge pushed her to show up in a way she would not have pushed herself to do alone. the competition, the accountability, the community energy. it cracked something open in her and she came out the other side knowing she could actually do this for real, which is EXACTLY why we host it. she joined the UGC games, put her absolute all in, and won. and she deserved every bit of that recognition. so if you are a mom sitting here right now wondering if this is for you. if you have tried other things and failed and you are starting to believe the story that you are just not the type of person who gets to win at something like this...

You made it here, finally!! And the fact that you clicked to join this group instead of bookmarking it for "later" already separates you from 99% of people who will spend the next year doing the exact same thing they did last year and wondering why nothing changed. Warm welcome to the UGC World. I can see that you're really serious about your dream life. I'm Gloria. Two years ago I was crying in a Walmart parking lot wondering if life was just going to feel like this forever. Today I travel the world and get paid to film short videos on my phone for brands. It's called UGC. And it's the easiest skill you can learn in 2026. This community has 16 year olds making an extra $30,000 a year. Moms who quit their retail jobs. Retirees making an extra $150k/year. Nurses, veterans, athletes, actors, comedians, and people from all over the globe who come with an aligned mission to build a remote income from their phone. People who had zero experience with content or business before they started. All of them were exactly where you are right now. Here's your to-do list to get started 👇 Step 1: Introduce yourself in the comments below. Tell us your name, where you're from, and your goal with content and UGC. I read every single one! Step 2: Start going through the classroom here: https://www.skool.com/ugc-world/classroom The best time to start was yesterday. The second best time is right now with whatever you have 🤍 Welcome to the family. Gloria

HAPPY APRIL UGC WORLD 🎉 I've been working on something for the last few weeks and I'm finally ready to share it. We start THE UGC GAMES on April 13, 14, 15, and 16. (EVENT OVER) Four days. Completely free. 📍 Live with me on Zoom. And real brands sponsoring the whole thing, paying out creators live brand deals on Day 4. Here's what four days inside the games look like. DAY 1: I will teach you how to recreate "2026 trending content" There's a new type of content trending in 2026 that's making creators a ridiculous amount of money. It's the same style that helped @Missy Wallker put $11,000 in her bank account just last month. She got paid over $3,000 for ONE 60 second video. Missy was the top performer for C9, one of the brands sponsoring the games. She just quit her job from UGC to work from home and spend more time with her kids. DAY 2: Your personal "MY STORY" video Guide If you don't have any past UGC case studies yet, the best case study is YOU. If you can't tell your own story on camera, what makes you think a brand will trust you? This is where we build your "My Story" video. The one asset that makes brands choose you over every other creator in their inbox. When your story is on camera in a way that converts, brands stop being something you chase and start being something that finds you. When I first told my story in a reel, it attracted brands like C9. I was honest about dealing with anxiety, and to this day they're my number one brand partnership. DAY 3: The storytelling structure that makes brands come back We're in a day and age where if you can't storytell and get your viewers obsessed with knowing what comes next, you're not a content creator. You're a commodity. Storytelling is the number one skill that gives you leverage over brands because it has their audience obsessed WITH you and wanting more. It's why I'm bringing in Coach Mannie @Emmanuel Williams to teach the secrets that made him ranked in the top 10 male UGC creators worldwide.
