Rae is a Gen Z foodie creator working full time from California, and before AHA she was cold pitching without many responses and close to quitting. Inside AHA she earned $10,000 in 13 weeks, went from $225 to $425 a deal, made her investment back in 6 weeks, and landed $800 for one video.

The story03 / 06

From cold pitching to relying on inbounds.

The struggle01

She was close to quitting UGC.

Raeon AHA

"I think if I hadn't joined AHA, I probably would have quit UGC."

She tried UGC on her own for over a year, and her income was $0 to $600 a month and inconsistent.

Where she started02

Cold pitching wasn't getting her responses.

  • Her average rate was $225 a deal.
  • Her top brand deal was $300 for one video.
  • She had a really hard time gauging what was good content and what wasn't.
The turning point03

She stopped pitching and relied on inbounds.

Raeafter AHA

"I haven't sent a pitch probably in the past three or four months."

In week 3 she signed a $600 deal with a celebrity haircare brand and 30 days of posting with Motion.

Raeduring AHA

"I was able to make back my investment within the first six weeks of the program, and the program's only eight weeks. So, that was crazy."

What we did together04

We gave her the standard and the accountability.

  • The industry standard for scripts, concepts, filming and editing.
  • Direct one-on-one support, which she says made AHA stand out.
  • Weekly homework checks and a posting tracker she still uses.
  • A personal brand strategy built on what makes her unique.
  • Her average rate went up to $425 a deal, and she has an easier time talking to the camera.

"The only regret I have is not joining AHA sooner!!"

Rae Brown
In her words06 / 06

In Rae’s own words.

"Words cannot explain how grateful I am for Mehr and this program."

Words cannot explain how grateful I am for Mehr and this program. I knew that going into AHA was going to be valuable and worth my time, but I didn't fully grasp how in-depth the program would be until I was in it. I'm very hesitant about making such a big investment but I knew that this was a risk I was willing to take because I've seen what it has done for others, and I was NOT at all disappointed. I'm a very self-aware person, and I know when it's time for me to ask for help. I tried doing UGC on my own for over a year and was not getting the results that I was looking for. I started learning so much and landing more deals when I joined the community, but UGC really took off for me once I went through this coaching program. Prior to the program, I wasn't really confident in the content I was creating. I had a really hard time gauging what was good and what wasn't. Throughout the program, I learned the industry standard. I learned how to write scripts, come up with good concepts, film good content, and edit great content. Now, I am at a position where I feel confident in the work that I submit. I knew I had potential to do good in this space, but I didn't have the discipline or motivation to do it myself, which is where Mehr came in. I am a tough love type of girl, and I really needed somebody to be on my ass and make sure I was getting shit done (and she did). I put in the work and was able to make my investment back, which I knew was possible but I didn't think it would happen so fast. The only regret I have is not joining AHA sooner!! I'm finally able to land deals consistently, and I feel comfortable enough to reach out to brands once again without the fear of being shut down because I know that the content I create now is good content. I finally have a direction for my personal branding videos, and I know how I want to present myself online. I would literally do this program ten times over again because THAT'S how valuable it is. Thank you so much you literally changed my life!!
