You Need the Whole Business in One Place, in Order

You have watched the TikToks. You know UGC is real. What nobody has shown you is the sequence: what to build first, what to charge, how to pitch so brands reply, and how to protect yourself when they do.

✓ Wondering what should actually go in your portfolio
✓ Sending pitches and barely hearing back
✓ Guessing what to charge every time a brand asks
✓ Confused by usage rights, contracts and revisions
✓ Landing one-off deals that never turn into steady work
✓ Saving endless tips with no plan to follow

built for creators at every stage

You’re in the Right Place If...


 

YOU’RE BRAND NEW TO UGC


• You have no idea where to start
• You want to learn how to create content brands actually want
• You need to build a professional UGC portfolio
• You don't know where to find paid opportunities
• You want to learn how to pitch brands and actually get started

YOU’RE ALREADY CREATING UGC


• You're getting some opportunities, but they feel inconsistent
• You're still guessing what to charge
• You want stronger pitches and better brand responses
• You need more confidence with contracts, usage rights, and negotiation
• You want to turn one-off projects into repeat clients and longer-term partnerships

WHAT CHANGES IN YOUR FIRST 7 DAYS

Day 1: You know exactly what belongs in your portfolio and what to cut. Day 2 to 3: Your starter portfolio exists, built from the three templates in Module 2. Day 4: Your rate card is set using the pricing method in Module 5, including usage fees. Day 5 to 7: Your first pitches go out with the scripts from Module 4, and you know when and how to follow up.

That is the Foundations track. The Pro track takes you from there to contracts, retainers and repeat work.

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR

Not for you if you want someone to promise you income. Nobody can. Not for you if you will not send pitches. The course gives you the scripts; the sending is yours. If you want a clear system and you are willing to do the work, keep reading.

Real CREATORS. REAL PROGRESS.

“This course really helped me believe that I could do this as a career!”

Getting started with this course was so easy! I logged in and was able to begin the modules right away! I followed along through each one and was able to create my portfolio within the first week of starting! And started to reach out to brands within the 2nd week! I felt so confident when reaching out to brands and pitching myself after taking the course, it really helped me believe that I could do this as a career! I was so worried before because I wasn’t sure what to say to brands or what to do when it came to the contracts, I didn’t want to seem completely clueless when reaching out, but this course really gave me that confidence! I have been reaching out to brands daily since starting!

THE UGC PRO SYSTEM

The 5 Steps to Building a Professional UGC Business


You don’t need to master everything at once. You just need to learn the right things in the right order.

1 — POSITION
 

Build a professional portfolio and creator presence that clearly shows brands what you can create.

2 — PRICE
 

Set your rates, packages, usage fees, and add-ons without guessing.

3 — PITCH
 

Find brands, send stronger pitches, follow up, and keep your outreach organized.

4 — DELIVER
 

Handle briefs, scripts, filming, editing, contracts, revisions, invoicing, and delivery professionally.

5 — REPEAT
 

Turn strong client experiences into repeat work, bundles, retainers, and longer-term partnerships.

This is the exact path the UGC Pro Accelerator walks you through — step by step.

Learn From a Creator Who’s Still Doing the Work 

Hi, I’m Gianna. I have spent the last 6+ years working with brands, agencies, repeat clients, paid usage campaigns and long-term partnerships, and I still take brand work every week.

I built the Pro Accelerator to teach the business behind UGC, and not only how to make a good video.

I want you to understand the business behind UGC — how to build your portfolio, price your work, pitch brands, negotiate, protect yourself, deliver professionally, and turn one-off opportunities into repeat business.

Everything inside is what I am using in my own business now, not what worked in 2022.
