You can earn up to 5k-10k+ a month with UGC

Even if you have no followers, don’t want to post on social media, and have zero interest in becoming an influencer. 

 - with just your phone, and 0 followers. 

Get paid to create content as soon as next month

as seen in

According to market research, 68% of people don't trust ads that look too commercial. 

I mean, think about it. Whose word do YOU trust more? 

A friend showing how they're obsessed with their new coffee maker or an A-list celebrity on a Hollywood set endorsing it in an ad? 

The first one, right? Luckily brands are catching on to this. 


Cue: the Rise of User Generated Content (UGC) 

People don’t trust professional-looking ads anymore. 

Where brands hire people like you to create videos about their products for their ads to be posted on their socials. 

The brands get content that looks like real reviews from regular buyers of their products. 

And you? Well, you get a 4-figure paycheck…

WITHOUT posting on your socials or needing to have any followers (your content is for the brand to use, so your follower count doesn't matter) 

OR NEEDING a professional camera setup to film the videos (brands want natural-looking videos shot from your phone)

PLUS, a great perk: you get free products you've been wanting to buy for a long time!

Sounds too good to be true? It’s absolutely NOT. Brands are *actively* looking for someone like you - and they usually pay $100 - $2,000 per UGC deal.

Look at these open job postings on major freelance platforms 

And here’s the truth.

You’re tired of working long hours and working for someone else’s dreams.

You’re sick of wondering, "When is it gonna be my turn?" when you see your favorite creator yet on another beach vacation. Maybe you even tried that “influencer thing”, but getting paid for brand deals didn’t work out.


Let me guess. You also want to make money from Instagram & TikTok just like influencers do.

But you don’t want to post on your social media.

Or have your worth as a creator be tied to how many followers you have.

Either way — you know you can do so much more.


Imagine what it would feel like to… 

Earn extra income on the side by creating videos for brands without having to post


Work from anywhere in the world without having to ask your boss for permission 


RECEIVE GIFT BOXES FROM BRANDS FULL OF PRODUCTS YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BUY (IN EXCHANGE FOR A 20-SECOND TIKTOK, OF COURSE!)


REPLACE YOUR 9-5 SALARY DOING SOMETHING THAT YOU LOVE

BE YOUR OWN BOSS - SETTING YOUR OWN HOURS AND TIME OFF TO BE WITH PEOPLE YOU LOVE

TREAT YOURSELF TO TUESDAY SPA SESSIONS, THANKS TO YOUR FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE

Doesn’t matter if you do NOT have –

It’s time for *you* to take advantage of the easiest route to make money online – UGC.

"Through the Mastercourse, I've learned that having a large following isn't necessary for monetization. It's all about meeting brand expectations and delivering quality content. I've already had brands reach out to me for promotions, and I've negotiated payment terms successfully. These experiences have boosted my confidence and understanding of the UGC landscape."

Josephine N.

These experiences have boosted my confidence and understanding of the UGC landscape

"I don't have a large following and am not consistently posting on my page, so UGC was a way for me to make money and create content without the pressure of being consistent with my posting. I have a FT job, so this is something fun and engaging that I do about 1-2 hours/week. Since starting, I’ve landed 7 paid collaborations and have 5 more in the pilot stage, with discussions underway for future paid opportunities. I’m particularly proud to have secured a recurring monthly client, where I create 2 UGC videos a month, earning $400/month and receiving a monthly shipment of items I select."

Jordan W.

Since starting, I’ve landed 7 paid collaborations and have 5 more in the pilot stage

"Taking Catarina’s course gave me the guidance and confidence to negotiate contracts and secure UGC work. The thing I love most about it is the freedom to create without having to worry about how a piece of content will perform on my own page and the fact you don’t need to worry about your follower count.

In my first 12 months since joining Catarina’s course, I’ve secured multiple UGC deals. 2 standout jobs would have to be a recent contract I secured with a clothing company. I received $900 worth of product and with guidance from the course, I managed to turn the offer of a free collaboration into a paid opportunity, charging thousands of dollars for a UGC photo/reel package. I’ve also just secured another UGC opportunity with a hotel chain whereby they provide accommodation in multiple resorts across New Zealand in exchange for photos and reels.
If you want to learn more about UGC or content creating and you want to learn from the best in the industry, I highly recommend enrolling in the course. You won’t regret it!"

Tamra B.

In my first 12 months since joining Catarina’s course, I’ve secured multiple UGC deals.

"The course helped me feel confident offering and pricing my UGC offers. I had zero UGC deals before the course and most recently I worked with a major car company on a $5,000 contract! My biggest deal to date and I didn't even have to post on my page. It's my favorite kind of work since I don't have to worry about views or engagement rates on it on my own page."

Bailey S.

My biggest deal to date and I didn't even have to post on my page

"Catarina’s course helped me so much along the way. She taught me to know my worth and not just do additional things for free (like usage rights, additional hooks or filming at different locations). I’ve also learned a lot about Social Media and the analytics behind it which is key when it comes to being a UGC Creator.
In my 1st month I earned 790€ and worked with 4 brands. In my 3rd month, I secured my 1st 4-figure deal (from just one collab with one brand), which was mind-blowing to me.
Fast forward to today, I have worked with over 40 brands and made over 10K in under a year. And it’s still growing and expanding each month. I’m so grateful for Catarina’s Course! 🤎"

Nadia K.

“I’m a total beginner with zero content creation skills. Will this work for me?” 

Absolutely. If you can film simple videos following a step-by-step roadmap – UGC Mastercourse™ will work for you.  

I started with content creation when I knew nothing about photography or videography. Heck, Reels and TikTok didn't even exist. That’s how I know you can start with basic skills and improve over time. 

Plus, you can skip YEARS of trial and error with the detailed tutorials inside the UGC Mastercourse. Within the next 30 days, you’ll learn: 

The 6 types of UGC videos brands ask for (+ how to create them) 
How to *actually* write a UGC script that gets watched on repeat (storytelling, hooks, scripting 101 – you get it all with homework-style worksheets to refine your skills) 
The technicalities that go into creating high-quality UGC videos (without a professional camera setup)
Easy-to-capture pictures & videos shot list that you can repeat for *every* UGC delivery
The exact video editing workflow I use (+ a handy CapCut tutorial)

☝️All this is on top of how to research, pitch, and negotiate brand deals with your UGC prices (I’ll help you find those too!)

That’s how complete the UGC Mastercourse ™ is.

You definitely can *if* you’re okay with endless hours sifting through videos, figuring out which ones are even worth your time.

But if you’re the type who loves structured learning coming from an expert who’s been in the game for 7+ years (me!) under a proposed set timeline (30 days in this case) — the UGC Mastercourse was designed exactly for you. 

Not to mention — you’re more likely to stick to your goals when you have the right community for accountability. UGC Mastercourse comes with 1-year access to our Facebook Group, where experienced moderators and I meet you with answers to every “how to” question you might have. Not something a free YouTube video can provide, right? 

The UGC Mastercourse is much more than online lessons: it's a complete program with every resource you need to go from zero to a successful UGC creator in as fast as 30 days.

I love this question! Before I answer it, you should know 3 things about me:

I’ve been a full-time travel creator since 2017. 
I’ve signed $1M+ contracts to create content for brands, starting before content creation was even called UGC.
I am an experienced coach & mentor with over 5,000 students in my programs

All this to say, UGC Mastercourse is NOT: 

❌ A random course created by someone with little experience in the world of content creation. 


✅ Every video lesson inside the UGC Mastercourse comes from my experience of working with brands for 7+ years and creating a 7-figure business out of it. Plus my 4+ years of experience coaching my students on countless UGC deals.

Especially with my background as a full-time creator ➡️Best believe that you’ll easily outsmart your competition with the insider info on algorithms, brand collabs, and business-building. Plus, you’ll create UGC videos with advanced-looking filming and scripting skills (gatekept by the best creators in the industry) – which gets you hired *on repeat* by brands. A solid competitive advantage, don’t you think?

❌ A bunch of hard-to-implement videos thrown at you to figure out on your own


✅With UGC Mastercourse, you get a) max 8 minutes long actionable videos b) a 30-day goal tracker worksheet that’s divided into 1-hour sprints c) 1 year of access to a private Facebook community for accountability and support. We’ll build your new side hustle with flexibility – together.

❌ A course that teaches you the technical side of UGC with no business hand-holding and vice-versa. 

✅ The UGC Mastercourse is a sweet medium for both the creation and business side of a UGC career. You’ll learn how to master, monetize, and scale your UGC content creation skills – all in 30 days.

When you join the UGC Mastercourse, you will get immediate access to Modules 0, 1, 2, and 3. These modules contain everything you need to build the skills required to be a successful UGC creator. I really want you to take your time to hone the skills you need to be successful. Rushing is not a good strategy when it comes to UGC!

The second part of the course, which is all about UGC monetization, will be dripped 14 days after you start the course (10 am PT). Once modules are unlocked, you will receive an email notification from our course platform (title: "Catarina Mello Courses: new content is available for you"). Just click on it, and it will take you directly to the dripped module.

After a module is available, you have lifetime access to it and can watch it as often as you like.

Yes, really. Obviously, it won't happen if you don't put it in the work. But if you do, the UGC Mastercourse ™ is *really* a step-by-step blueprint that hands you the answers to: 

 “What kind of UGC videos should I create?”
 “What should I charge for it?”
“How do I make myself stand out in a sea of other other UGC creators?”
“How to write & film videos that are actually loved by brands?”
“How to create a portfolio when I have zero experience with brands?”
“How to find brands that *actually* want to work with UGC creators like me?”
“What’s the right way to pitch brands so they read it?”
“How do I create my UGC business?”
“How should I take my UGC business to the next level?”

Imagine all of that ☝️ broken down into smaller goals within a 30-day tracker sheet

Plus, a community to ask those remaining “how do I do [insert your doubt]?” questions. 

A catch-all formula for landing that first UGC collab, don’t you think?

BUT (and that’s a big BUT) – it requires a fair bit of commitment from you. Which brings me to ⬇️

It’s NOT a necessity, no. There are plenty of successful UGC creators who focus on: 

product-centric content
tutorials that only show their hands or 
visually stunning imagery that doesn't require them to be on camera.

However, showing your face can be a powerful way to connect with people on a deeper level. Connection drives sales – which is, ultimately, what brands hire you for. 

With the UGC Mastercourse, you’ll learn to film videos that are both face and faceless. Then, you can choose the one that feels authentic to YOU and pitch it!

Lots. I will be hanging out regularly inside the FB community (to which you’ll have 1-year access to, btw), so all your issues are resolved asap.

Plus, we also have 2 community managers (both professional creators with extensive UGC experience who have been through my courses) who chime in with their takes without fail.

Not to mention, by signing up for this cohort of the UGC Mastercourse ™, you get two exclusive Founding Members-only LIVE Q&A session so you can ask all the remaining “yeah but” doubts you might have.

Plus, a chance for your UGC portfolio audited by me! 

Whether you’re seeking advice from people who’ve done it before or accountability to keep you on track with your goals → all you have to do is ask.

It’s not a requirement but I’ll teach you how to create one. This is why. 

Your Instagram is your online storefront. And because of that, it helps brands to reach out to you (if you’ve optimized your page – which I’ll teach you).

PLUS it also serves as your digital portfolio. Imagine if brands could see your work in live action? This how brands are wowed by you. 

But you DON’T need any followers to start landing those brand deals because brands require your UGC videos to post on their page, not yours!

Down the line, if and when you grow your audience followers, you can leverage your platform from a creator’s POV. I’ll teach you how to do that too with the UGC Mastercourse ™.

NO. That’s what this course is for.

You’ll learn how to make videos for brands using only your phone. And then, you’ll learn how to arrange a professional set-up with $0 equipment so you can deliver flawless videos.

Plus, I’ll hand you every insider info on how to research, pitch, and negotiate with brands so you can land your first UGC gig as soon as 30 days.

Not to mention the 1-year community access to our private Facebook group and templates for portfolio, contracts, and invoices — so your business is practically taken care of.

UGC isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. Which means over the next 30 days…

✅ You *will* have to get crafty to find 10 minutes of your workday to watch one video. Then another 30 minutes to check off the easy tasks attached to your 4-week UGC Career Launch Planner.

✅ You *will* have to trade in a few Netflix binge sessions for Canva play sessions so you can build your portfolio, contract, and invoice from the templates inside the course.

✅You *will* have to really push past your “I can’t do this because __” beliefs so you can finally create that extra income (& flexibility!) in your current routine.

That’s the kind of “let’s frickin’ go” dedication the UGC Mastercourse requires (which is roughly 1 hour a day for the first 30 days!)

YES! I want you to sign up risk-free. You have 14 days to check out the first three modules of the course (modules 0, 1 and 2). If by the end of module 2 you think UGC isn't for you, or you aren't satisfied with the course, then simply reach out to support@catarinamello.com. I’ll insist on giving you a full refund. You can find all the complete details in our Terms & Conditions on this page.

Please note that when you sign up for the UGC Mastercourse, you get immediate access to Modules 0, 1, 2, and 3. To qualify for the refund, you cannot start module 3 and beyond.

Absolutely! Both courses empower you to make money from social media, but they have distinct focuses and outcomes:

  • Influencer Mastercourse: This is our flagship program designed to help you become a successful influencer on Instagram. It focuses on building a loyal audience, mastering content creation, and landing lucrative brand deals as an influencer. You'll learn how to grow your following, increase engagement, and establish yourself as a key opinion leader in your niche. Think of it as the path to building your personal brand and becoming a recognized voice in your industry.
  • UGC Mastercourse: This program focuses on the fast-growing world of User-Generated Content (UGC). You'll learn how to create high-quality content that brands love, pitch your services effectively, and negotiate fair rates. The UGC Mastercourse is perfect for those who want to monetize their creativity quickly, even without a large following (or any followers). It's also a great stepping stone for aspiring influencers, as it provides valuable experience and helps you build a strong portfolio.

It depends on your goals!

  • Choose the Influencer Mastercourse if you dream of building a large, engaged Instagram audience, becoming a recognized influencer in your niche, and securing long-term brand partnerships. From a long-term perspective, being an influencer brings a higher income potential.

  • Choose the UGC Mastercourse if you want to monetize your content creation skills quickly, even without a large following. You're interested in creating high-quality content that brands love and are open to exploring the influencer path in the future. From a long-term perspective, UGC creators tend to have a lower income potential than influencers but tend to monetize faster consistently.

The answer to that is a resounding Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it. The UGC Mastercourse can be a fantastic starting point to gain experience and build your portfolio. At the same time, the Influencer Mastercourse provides the advanced strategies and tools to grow your audience and become a successful influencer. This is a fantastic strategy to scale your UGC business. Many of our students find that the combination of both programs provides a comprehensive and powerful foundation for their social media careers.

Brands worldwide are using UGC. While the US market is the largest, it's also the most competitive, with many more UGC creators competing for the same opportunities than anywhere else. So, being a UGC creator in another market has its advantages!
In fact, some of our most successful students are from non-US markets, including New Zealand, Germany, Norway, and Singapore, to name a few!

We constantly monitor UGC platforms for job openings, and even a quick search reveals opportunities worldwide.

Getting a bit more specific, here's what we recommend for non-US based creators:

Pitch brands already spending money in UGC and marketing in your country: inside the course you'll learn how to find brands in your country that are already spending money on ads, specifically in UGC. We recommend following the pitching strategies you'll learn inside the UGC Mastercourse primarily focusing on reaching out to those brands!

Focus on brands that aren't product-based: You can work with brands from other markets (including the US!) that aren't product-based so there won't be any shipping issues. Examples include apps, software companies, or service-based brands available worldwide.

Global brands: Global brands work with creators worldwide. Many brands actively seek diverse perspectives and voices to represent their products authentically to a wider audience, especially when they are looking to target audiences in different locations. Think of big brands you see in almost every market—from Starbucks to Uber to Unilever and everything in between, there are so many global brands looking for creators around the world.

So, the answer is YES, it can work for you even if you're not in the US!

Definitely not! The UGC Mastercourse teaches you the fundamental skills to become a successful UGC creator in any niche, anywhere in the world. This includes things like understanding the UGC market, crafting compelling narratives, creating a strong portfolio, shooting high-quality video, pitching the right brands, negotiating with confidence, and more – all essential regardless of your focus. The course provides a step-by-step guide to set yourself up for success no matter what industry you're passionate about. Inside, you'll find examples and case studies across a wide range of niches, from beauty product demos to unboxing tech gadgets, showcasing pet products, and even creating content for restaurants. My background in travel and lifestyle UGC for the past 7+ years, plus my experience coaching students in various niches and markets since 2020, has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of what brands are looking for. I've distilled these insights into a comprehensive course that's applicable to any creator, regardless of their niche.

Got a sneaky “what if” you can’t shake off?

Here are all your Q's answered ⬇️

And like you, I started with a love for photography and a burning desire to live a life with more flexibility.

So even though…

  • I had a very demanding corporate job (I was a Google digital marketing expert!)
  • I was trying to navigate a new country as an immigrant (from Brazil) 
  • We were living paycheck-to-paycheck with my husband pursuing an MBA, drowning in $120k student debt


Hi, I’m Catarina Mello! 

Digital marketing expert, afraid-of-flying frequent flyer, self-taught photographer, and candle connoisseur with 7+ years of experience as a full-time content creator. 

MEET YOUR GUIDE

All I knew, really, was to press the shutter button on my phone. But after a coffee date with a friend in 2017, I saw a way to monetize my content creation skills just for the brands – with zero obligation to post it on my page. 

It was music to my ears.

Ever since then, UGC has contributed to building my 7-figure creator business. And, it has led to deeper collaborations with brands like Expedia, HBO, Amazon, Hilton, and many more.

OVER TO YOU KNOW.

If you know *for sure* that you can’t go another day wondering how you can live a life with more income and flexibility

*AND*

You feel it in your bones that with the *right* strategies and support in place – you can do this

NOW’s the time to kickstart your side hustle as a UGC creator. 


I’ve been creating content for brands even before “UGC” was an industry term. 


I still decided to build a side hustle with content creation because I was *done* stuffing my passion (for travel) in my 2-week PTO and feeling miserable every day at work.
