Going viral is not a business plan, my friend.

What works is a simple system that turns your skills into steady, high-ticket gigs for years to come. This is how you build a UGC business that pays you to be creative on your terms.

You already know how to create content. That was never the problem.

The gap is knowing how UGC actually works. How to price it. How to pitch it. How to position it. How to get paid without going viral - or sending a hundred awkward DMs that never get a response.

You don’t need another dopamine chasing side hustle. You need hands-on mentorship that prepares you for the success you’re actually capable of.

Here’s what this looks like when you do it right:

  • You’re landing UGC gigs that pay like premium client work - not affiliate scraps or free product.
  • ​You’ve got a clean, professional portfolio that does the heavy lifting while you sleep.
  • ​You’re landing clients without constant pitching - and definitely not relying on a TikTok video to pop off.
  • ​You’re shooting content in your kitchen, wearing sweats, no makeup, working with brands you actually like.
  • ​You’re not performing online - you’re running a business that fits your life.
  • ​And you’ve got a system to follow, so you’re never stuck wondering what to do next.

This goes way beyond just landing gigs. This is about building a legit, repeatable income stream you control. 

By the end of this, you’ll have the skills, systems, and confidence to grow a business that pays you like a pro, even if nobody even knows who you are. 

That’s exactly why I created the Paid Content Creator Academy.

This is a 90-day, step-by-step program that shows you how to turn your content skills into a steady stream of paid UGC work - without winging it, burning out, or guessing what to do next.

You’ll learn how to build a portfolio that gets attention, easily land premium clients on UGC marketplace platforms, and start charging $350–$500 per video, minimum - even if you’ve never pitched a brand in your life.

One of my group program students from our Winter 2025 built her UGC business to over $60K/year - all from home, with no audience, no long form content; all shot from her iPhone.

She didn’t wait for permission. She followed my Signature System, and now it pays her consistently at least $5,000/month.

What You’ll Get:

You bring the skills - we’ll help you turn them into a chill, consistent UGC business that pays well, fits your life, and doesn’t rely on the algorithm.

Inside the PCCA, you’ll learn how to turn your existing content skills into a high-converting UGC business. And you won’t be doing it alone - you’ll get everything you need to take fast, focused action.

And if you “don't have existing content skills,” in Week 1, I’m going to give you my personal tools, resources, Custom GPTs and step by step tutorials on how to build these, fast.

What You’ll Learn:

The skills, strategy, and systems that get creators paid.

  • How to script, film, edit, and deliver premium UGC videos brands actually pay for
  • ​How to create 5+ high-converting UGC videos and 8+ premium product photos for your portfolio

Hi, I’m Leslie.

I’ve made over $275K as a UGC creator - without ever going viral, growing a massive following (well I did, but then I left it 😂), or selling my soul for $50 skin serum ads with no upsells.

I didn’t stumble into this. I built it - piece by piece - by treating my skills like a business, and applying everything I learned about digital marketing from my prior 12-year corporate career.

Over the last 3 years, I’ve earned almost 7 figures from freelancing, and UGC has become one of my most powerful and scalable revenue streams because I learned something very important:

How to position myself as a premium creative partner and not just a content creator.

I stopped charging for deliverables and started charging for outcomes.That’s the difference between $150 per video and one that’s $1,000.

Now I work when I want, from wherever I want, with clients who respect my brain and my boundaries. And inside this program, I’ll show you how to do the same.

In weeks, not years.

But, to make this decision, you probably need to really know it works - I get it.

Meet Shannon

She joined PCCA as a total beginner - no experience, no fancy gear, and no idea what to charge.

Her first videos? Rough. (She’ll tell you that herself.)

But four weeks in, she landed her first paid project. 

Three months later, she’d crossed $10K in UGC income.

Now she sets her own rates, gets inbound brand requests, and creates content she actually enjoys. 

Oh - and she landed a role as an extra in a major motion picture, all because she said yes to the program.

Meet Heather

When Heather joined PCCA, she wasn’t new to content - she had some AIP and TikTok Shop wins under her belt. 

What she needed was structure. A system. A way to turn her skills into consistent UGC income.

She plugged into the trainings, showed up to coaching calls, and actually used the tools inside the program. 

Within 2 months, she was landing leads from platforms like Fiverr, Join Brands, and Collabstr - and she knew exactly how to pitch them.

Now she’s tracking for $5K months from UGC alone - working with repeat clients, setting her own pace, and building a real business on her terms.

These aren’t influencers. Just regular creators who decided to treat their content like a business - and followed the plan.

Real Stories. Real Results. Total Beginners.

My Students Have Made a Collective Total of $57,000+ for Themselves (even as beginners). Which Means... You. Can. Too.
