Hey Reader, I grew a membership to 10k per month. A few years ago I was tired of doing client work and chasing invoices each month as a freelance social media manager.

Reader, Social media is changing. Now business owners are hiring UGC creators to create their content. A recent report by Goldman Sachs said that "The creator economy could approach half-a-trillion dollars by 2027.
