About the Challenge
The free 7-Day UGC Challenge is one week of guided work with Gianna, built around three sessions: a recorded session Friday, a live call Sunday, a recorded session Thursday, and one short task a day by email in between.
By Sunday you have the foundation of your first UGC portfolio (including one completed sample), a starting rate you can explain, and your first brand pitches sent, even if you start with zero followers and zero experience.
By the end of the week, you will:
- Have at least one completed UGC portfolio sample built around real brand requirements
- Send your first personalized brand pitches using templates you understand and can adapt
- Set a reasonable beginner rate and understand the main factors that change your quote
- Know your next step based on your experience level
- Built for creators starting from zero or who have stalled.

This Challenge is for you if…
You're brand new
You've never landed a UGC deal. You don't know what to charge or how to pitch. You need someone to walk you through it step by step — live, in real time.
You've tried and stalled
You've watched free videos or sent a few pitches, but you still don't have a complete portfolio, a clear rate, or a consistent follow-up process.
You're ready to commit 7 days
You can show up daily for 7 days. Each day has one focused task, and the three sessions run 60 minutes, one of them live with Gianna with 15 minutes of questions. Miss a day? Each task stays in your inbox, so you can pick it back up on your own schedule.

Challenge FAQ
Is this really free?
Yes. You register with your email and the whole week is free. No credit card.
What are the three sessions?
Friday, January 1 and Thursday, January 7 are recorded sessions, released that morning and available through January 14. Sunday, January 3 at 4:00 PM PT is live with Gianna, 60 minutes plus 15 minutes of questions. The replay is emailed the next day.
What timezone is the live call?
4:00 PM Pacific, which is 7:00 PM Eastern. If you cannot make it live, the replay arrives the next day.
Do I need followers?
No. UGC is content a brand uses on its own channels and in its own ads. Brands buy the video, not your audience. Zero followers is the normal starting point here.
I do not have a portfolio. Is that a problem?
It is the reason to be here. Day 3 is where your first sample gets filmed, and Day 4 is where you set a rate you can explain.
How much time does it take per day?
One short task a day, about 20 to 45 minutes. The filming day may take 60 to 90 minutes.
Can I do this with only my phone?
Yes. Every sample in this challenge is filmed on a phone in window light. No ring light, no separate microphone, no paid editing app.
Who is it for?
What happens after Day 7?
You keep your sample, your rate and your pitches. The week follows the Foundation modules of the UGC Pro Accelerator, Gianna's full course ($297 one-time), and you will hear about it inside the week. If you want feedback every week after that, the ISG Creator Club adds a live review call every Wednesday from November 11. There is no obligation and no purchase is required to complete the challenge.
Does the challenge promise deals or income?
No. Educational training. Individual results vary based on effort and execution. Not an income guarantee.
Registration closes Thursday, December 31 at 11:59 PM PT
