$60K+ since AHA, and $10K months on 20 hours a week.

Olivia is a millennial creator in Los Angeles with 12+ years of photography experience, and before AHA she was purely cold pitching and exhausted from it. Inside AHA she earned $12,000 in 8 weeks, made her investment back in 4 weeks and took her top deal to $650+. Since then she has gone full time, made about $60K from UGC, and is making $10K a month on about 20 hours a week.

The story03 / 06

From cold pitching to booked and busy.

The struggle01

She was exhausted from cold pitching.

Oliviabefore AHA

"Before joining AHA, I was purely cold pitching. I had no idea how to attract inbounds."

She had 12+ years of photography experience, and was making $0 to $2K a month from UGC on what she calls pure luck.

Where she started02

Her personality wasn't showing up in her work.

  • Her portfolio was almost entirely B-roll with voiceovers.
  • She had never written a script, and spent 5+ hours per concept.
  • Her top brand deal was $300.
The turning point03

She got on camera and showed up on X.

Oliviaafter AHA

"We're not just doing unboxings with the light streaming in."

In week 2 she published her revamped portfolio and started posting daily on X, and by week 4 her first inbounds were coming in from there.

Oliviaafter AHA

"I have not pitched, honestly, much at all in the last few months."

What we did together04

We built the system behind her personality.

  • Scripting from scratch, then with AI trained to write in her voice.
  • Paid media frameworks, so her portfolio goes beyond traditional UGC.
  • One-on-one editing calls on direct response principles.
  • Personal branding on X, which is where her inbounds come from.
  • Her concept time went from 5 hours to 2 hours, and her top deal went up to $650+.

"If I could tell the past version of myself to sign up for AHA over and over again, it would be a no brainer!"

Olivia Lagaly
In her words06 / 06

In Olivia's own words.

"I've made six times my investment back in only a few months."

AHA all the way!! I absolutely loved taking Mehr's 1:1 UGC coaching. I went from making about $0k-$2k per month from UGC on pure luck, to actually having a personal branding strategy & converting portfolio that now makes me $3k-$6k per month CONSISTENTLY! I love how Mehr tells it like it is, and isn't afraid to be honest about what you need to do to get the results you want. This program is super tailored to your personal needs- I know some people came into it hardly ever having done UGC, but I had a slight background in it before, so Mehr was able to tailor the content to helping me with my weak spots and also holding me accountable to build my personal brand and show up. I remember in the first few weeks I did not think it was going to work- but it DID! I grew my Twitter following from basically 0 to now over 400, and get inbounds weekly from brands & agencies finding my UGC examples and wanting to work together. Mehr also helped me to drastically improve my portfolio, and now it's made up of high quality UGC videos that actually convert. If I could tell the past version of myself to sign up for AHA over and over again, it would be a no brainer! If you're on the fence, just do it! Imagine where you could end up in a few months time. Completely life changing!
