š¤ How to ACTUALLY Earn 6 Figures as a Creator?
Sharing how I scaled my business to $155K/year in 2023
Read Time: 3.20 minutes
In 2021, I would cry at least 3x a week because of how I loathed my job.
I was initially hired as a Marketing Coordinator and quickly climbed up the corporate ladder.
However, the PAY seemed to have stayed on the ground floor and slowly crept to the basement.
I was doing a Marketing Director role for months but they declined to discuss any pay raise - but instead told me that they are currently in the process of externally hiring a Marketing Director.
Thatās when I was like āfuck thisā - I knew I could do more, I knew I had a lot to offer, but Iād rather build my own business and take no shit from other people.
So fast forward to April of 2022, I started my agency, SM Social LTD. and in October of the same year, I quit my full-time job to focus on my business.
I started offering Social Media Management services then I focused on UGC along with some Influencing, then added Creative Strategy.
2021: $50K/year in my corporate job
2022: $92K/year combined corporate job and agency income
2023: $155K/year just with agency income
During my Q1 2023 review, I realized how my income from my agency has easily doubled ever since I started offering Creative Strategy services.
After all, when I was starting I would get paid $2,000 (no experience other than creating my strategy), and then it climbed up to $4,000 per client per month!
I went from chasing $150/video deals as a creator to meeting 40% of my monthly income goal just with one Creative Strategy client.
Itās truly mind-blowing and I knew I had to share this with someoneā¦
And that someone is you.
If youāre a UGC Creator whoās been in the industry for 6+ months and you really want to level up your business and set yourself apart from thousands of creators, learning how to become a Creative Strategist would be the way to go.
Thatās HOW I positioned myself every single time. So while Iām landing clients for Creative Strategy, Iām also landing high-ticket clients as a UGC Creator because I would introduce myself as a āUGC Creator AND A Creative Strategist, and hereās my case studyā¦ā
My Creative Strategy Course is NOT meant for the masses. Itās not meant for creators or marketers who are not interested in putting in the work. Itās not meant for people who are not willing to show up and learn.
Itās meant for people who are in it for the long run. Itās meant for hardworking creators who are willing to grow and excel with me in this industry! If thatās you - Iād love to offer something that I havenāt offered anywhere elseā¦
As an added value, I will host a LIVE training session with some students enrolled in my course. Iām currently handling 7 brands right now as their Creative Strategist and your hands-on training (as promised in the course description) might come sooner rather than later.
So if you want to learn from me and get real-life training and experience (something that was not offered to me by the way) - use code āEARLYACCESSā to get a discount and be part of the LIVE training session on top of your video course!
Thatās it for this edition! Hope to see you in the course!
