You’ve been “about to start” for a while now.

 

You keep saving UGC videos, tweaking your niche, and wondering if your content is good enough.

You know you should be pitching, but you’re not sure what to say — or what you should even be working on first.

So you keep learning instead of actually moving forward.

You don’t need to figure out your whole creator career today.
You just need a clear next step — and someone to help you take it.

This is for you if…

  • You’re a beginner or early-stage aspiring UGC creator
  • You understand pieces of UGC but not the order to do them in
  • You’ve saved the videos and started (but never finished) a portfolio
  • You want a deadline, a daily plan, and people doing it with you
  • You’re ready to stop researching and start creating

This probably isn’t for you if…

  • You expect a guaranteed brand deal or income
  • You want passive income without creating content
  • You’re looking for 1:1 coaching or a personal portfolio audit
  • You expect to be perfect instantly
  • You won’t actually complete the daily assignments

I’ll give you the roadmap, feedback, and accountability. You still have to do the reps.

The Formula

A simple path from “I want to start” to “I know what to do next.”

Create → Build → Pitch → Book. Four phases in seven days, one deliverable a day.

CREATE
Days 1–3

Create strategic UGC samples and get more comfortable on camera.

BUILD
Days 4–5

Turn your content into a portfolio you feel confident sending to brands.

Your Guide

I built my creator career through the exact thing this challenge is designed around: reps.

Creating. Pitching. Getting told no. Improving. Working with brands. Doing it again. That’s how the skill actually gets built — and this challenge gives you the ordered version so you’re not guessing what to work on.

I’ve spent 6+ years working in UGC, with 1,000+ brand collaborations, running a six-figure creator business remotely while I travel full time. But this page isn’t about me — it’s about your next 21 days.

Bring your scripts, videos, portfolio questions, and anything you’re stuck on.

CALL 2

Questions?

Frequently asked questions

Do I need followers to do UGC?+
No. UGC is content brands use in their own marketing — it isn’t about your follower count.
Do I need previous UGC experience or a portfolio?+
No. This is built for complete beginners — and you’ll build your portfolio during the challenge.
How much time will I need each day?+
Daily Briefs are intentionally short, but the assignment time will vary. Planning or pitching days may take 20–30 minutes, while filming/editing days may take longer. The goal is focused daily implementation — not hours of passive watching.
Will I get a brand deal in 7 days?+
There’s no guarantee of a brand deal or specific income in 7 days. What you will do is build the assets, skills, and outreach habits needed to start putting yourself in front of brands consistently.
What personalized feedback is included?+
You’ll receive personalized feedback on 1 UGC video, 1 portfolio, and 1 pitch, plus support during the 2 live group coaching calls and inside the cohort community.
Do I need expensive equipment?+
No — your phone is enough to start.
When does it start and end?+
Cohort 2 starts Monday, December 14, 2026 and ends Sunday, December 20, 2026. Everyone starts and works through the 7-day experience together.
Where does the challenge take place?+
Inside a Kajabi cohort course plus a private challenge community.
Are the live calls recorded?+
Yes! Both live coaching calls will be recorded and added to our cohort area. You'll have access to the replays throughout the 7-day program plus an additional 7-day catch-up period after the cohort ends.
What’s the refund policy?+
All sales are final.
How is this different from the 7-Day UGC Challenge?+
The 7-Day UGC Challenge helps you get started and build momentum. The Paid Creator Formula is 7 days of hands-on implementation — creating stronger content, building your portfolio, pitching brands, learning how to handle paid opportunities, and getting personalized feedback and live coaching along the way. It also includes full access to the UGC Pro Accelerator, so you have the complete training to reference throughout the week.
Is this the same as UGC Pro Accelerator?+
No. The UGC Pro Accelerator is the full training, while the Paid Creator Formula is the hands-on 7-day implementation experience. With the $397, you get both - the full UGC Pro Accelerator plus live coaching, assignments, feedback, and accountability to help you actually put it into action.
