Hey there
Your guide to turning your social media into a lucrative INFLUENCER CAREER, so you can live life on your own terms.
I AM CATARINA MELLO
Before I became a full time creator, I was working in a corporate role in tech that left me deeply unsatisfied and craving a more fulfilling life. So I worked tirelessly to grow my audience on weekends and evenings after my 9-to-5 until I hit 200k followers, which gave me the confidence (and $) I needed to quit.
Now, I have an audience of over 1M across platforms, get paid to travel the world, stay in luxury hotels, and share the things I love most with my loyal community—making multiple folds of what I did in my corporate job at Google (because, yes, being an influencer is a real career)
intrigued?
If I had to guess, we started at a similar spot
as seen in
The last year since I joined the Influencer Mastercourse has been a whirlwind! Within the first 3 months of purchasing the course, I was already getting paid by brands.
Fast forward to today, I have a community of over 100k followers, work with brands like Adobe and Notion, and made 2x my old corporate salary. Before joining the course, I had never invested in myself, and I felt like I was taking a huge risk. The investment came back 100-fold, and we are just getting started!
Since joining the course, I started a new Instagram account that has grown to 92k, and my TikTok account has grown to 142k followers. I'm consistently landing multiple 4-figure deals with incredible brands like the Hilton, MasterCard, and Tourism Boards every month. I've gone on multiple all-expense paid trips to places like Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, and Japan and I've also been invited on press trips with cruise lines.
I can't believe that I'm truly living my dream life and I'm so happy I took a chance on myself and signed up for the course! Don't be afraid to invest in yourself! If this is something you're passionate about and you are willing to put in the work, you will see the results! The Influencer Mastercourse gives you all the tools and support you need to succeed :)
Since I took the course about a year and a half ago, I’ve reached over 110k followers, multi-million views on some reels, 3 million+ impressions some months, and I landed a handful of paid collaborations (a couple over $1,000), including one with Destination Queenstown, New Zealand!
I now charge way more for my services than I otherwise would have, and I started a TikTok account that’s gotten over 13k in just 6 months. I was wary of investing in the course since it’s a lot of money! But I could tell Catarina is trustworthy, that she teaches clear paths to follow, and she is a very cool human to have on my team. Plus, I made my money back on my very first brand deal!

I started the course 11 months ago at 28k followers with no direction on how to grow. We just hit 50k followers this week, as one of our reels got 1.2M views.
In October alone, I signed £12k worth of partnerships and got our first UK family resort paid campaign. I cannot thank Catarina enough for the direction and how to monetize the account.
Before joining the Influencer Mastercourse, I had been trying to grow my account for 3/4 months with no success. My content was messy, and I had no strategy. Since joining the course in March 2022, I’ve achieved so much, and I’m so proud and grateful. I've grown my follower base by over 110k.
I’ve had several videos going viral, including one with 14M views. I landed 3 paid partnerships for several thousand dollars, and I am currently working on several partnerships with companies connected to my niche.
Since joining the Influencer Mastercourse, I've gained over 50k followers on Tiktok, had multiple Tiktok & Reels go viral, and landed multiple brand partnerships, including names like M&M's, Expedia, and Chevrolet, to name a few.
I've gotten so many paid brand partnerships since joining the course that the course has paid itself multiple times over at this point.
