Alina is a bilingual creator and stay-at-home mom of two under four, and before AHA her portfolio was holding her back. She rebuilt from scratch, then contracted $2,783 in one month, close to the $3,535 she earned in all of 2025. Her rate went from $147 to $464 a deal, and a big DTC brand gave her $500 per concept without her negotiating.

The story03 / 06
From starting over to $500 a concept.
The struggle01
Her portfolio was holding her back.
Alinabefore AHA
"Before, I barely got any inbounds. I got a few here and there, but mostly was some pitching."
Another coaching program had given her very basic brand deals, and across 2025 she earned $3,535 from 24 deals.
Where she started02
She literally had to start from scratch.
- Her average rate was $147 a deal.
- Her top brand deal was $400 for one video.
- She had to learn how to film properly and how to edit her UGC effectively.
The turning point03
She named a higher number and brands said yes.

"I just threw it out. I was like, okay, let's just see how this goes. And they accept it without negotiation."
Everyday Dose put in $500 per concept, she joined their roster, and she closed 3 videos for 1,000 euros.

"It's okay for me to throw out these deals and to say no to deals that are not good enough."
What we did together04
We rebuilt her portfolio and her brand.
- A portfolio rebuilt from scratch, so brands see the value in her work.
- How to film and edit properly, which she committed to learning.
- A clear personal brand and strategy she can see turning into results.
- A group around her, so she could see how others think and work.
- Her average rate went up to $464 a deal, and she now turns down lower-paying deals to make space for ones worth her time.
The timeline04 / 06
She went from 24 deals in a year to 6 deals in a month.

$500 per concept, without negotiating.
"It's also changed how I see my own value. I'm a lot more confident in what I'm putting out and more selective with what I say yes to."
Alina FrithIn her words06 / 06
In Alina's own words.
"I'd recommend this to anyone who feels stuck or unsure about their direction, especially if you're serious about improving and actually willing to put in the work."
I had done another coaching program before, and while it helped me get a few small brand deals, it didn't really prepare me for personal branding. Looking back, even the creative I was making then wasn't that strong. Since joining this, I feel way more clear on my brand and what I'm actually doing. The strategy makes sense, and I can see it translating into results. I've landed better deals, including $500 deal for 1 video with a big DTC brand I've always wanted to work with, and now I'm even on their roster...which I didn't think would happen for me before. It's also changed how I see my own value. I'm a lot more confident in what I'm putting out and more selective with what I say yes to. The group environment helped more than I expected too. Being around people consistently and seeing how others think and work made a big difference. I'd recommend this to anyone who feels stuck or unsure about their direction, especially if you're serious about improving and actually willing to put in the work.
