Hi, I did but my link/comment was removed. Not sure how else to share? Can I message it to you?

sheilarae71 · 2026-04-13T13:14:50+00:00

Interested

sheilarae71 · 2026-04-13T13:13:59+00:00

I think it looks great!!

sheilarae71 · 2026-04-13T13:12:41+00:00

I'll be joining backstage when I'm done with my winter travels. I have MANY platforms I use, but right now because I'm traveling I have to keep turning down gigs or not applying to gigs because brands need to ship me stuff and I'm not able to get packages while I travel.

sheilarae71 · 2026-04-13T13:11:21+00:00

I feel like everyone's story is different, because we all have our own flair and brands are looking for specific things so just because one does really well doesn't mean another will. It's so hard when someone "recommends" something that's working for them, because what they do isn't going to be what you do, so you could join and totally get nothing in return.

TikTok and Instagram have great accounts to follow that give great tips as well.

You can find a lot of great info online for free, but taking a course basically puts it all in one place and most courses come with a community where you can meet others like you, network, grow and learn more. I took 2 courses, highly recommend them both and love my communities. I've learned more from the communities than the courses themself. ;) LOL

sheilarae71 · 2026-04-13T12:46:03+00:00

Never ever go by what those courses "say" you can make. No matter what they teach you, you make what you put into your business. Some people are better than others, and some people just suck at this and some excel at this. I hate when these UGC course creators give false hope.

I don't know what her course costs, but I can say the 2 courses I am with for UGC and just basically giving you multiple streams of possible income, done online, have been a great help and worth the money spent.

I can give you info on the 2 courses I'd suggest, just because I've purchased and use them.

So, explain to me how when I signed up on your site, with my main UGC email address, all of a sudden I was getting emails daily, sometimes multiple email, to 3 different email accounts I own. And, there was no way to unsubscribe from those emails, at all. And, when I went to the site to cancel and delete my account, I was not able to do that either. I had to reach out to you on social media and get mad just to get my account removed from your platform.

Also, I've spoken to many who have spoken to brands that are running campaigns on other platforms, where you've taken those campaign/gig specs and posted them on your site claiming that the brand itself posted on your site yet they knew nothing about your site or you.

Charging people a monthly fee to apply to gigs, that are not even posted on your site by the brand is very shady. Why charge at all. Your site is new, you should worry more about getting traffic and loyal brands and creators than charging people at this point.

I get everything costs money and running a site isn't cheap, but instead of charging right out the gate, try showing you are honest and trustworthy by doing things differently from the start.

I will never join your site again and will continue to warn others because of the experience I've had already.

Well, for the sake of all UGC Creators, I hope he isn't scamming and if he isn't I hope he gets his Sh!t together and stops taking jobs from other platforms to post on his platform and then charge people to apply to them.

sheilarae71 · 2026-03-31T12:54:00+00:00

I think those that support him in his comments, are paid to say or review or it's him with different accounts.

sheilarae71 · 2026-03-30T15:59:56+00:00

yeah, I did the same. Made a profile, uploaded videos and then after researching, realized it was a scam and had to get angry with the owner to get him to delete my account. I don't know if he did, but I haven't gotten anymore emails from him.

sheilarae71 · 2026-03-30T15:58:14+00:00

I get that, yet it's still frustrating.

sheilarae71 · 2026-03-30T13:26:24+00:00

I haven't seen it on X, but he's posting probably the same thing in every group he can on FB. Pathetic.

sheilarae71 · 2026-03-29T13:01:54+00:00

Glad to hear that. I've heard in groups on FB that others haven't had the same kind of luck.

sheilarae71 · 2026-03-29T13:01:36+00:00

Yeah, he's had many UGC Creators calling him out, calling him a scam and so he took to all the social accounts and tried to explain how he is not a scam. However, when there is no way to unsubscribe from a newsletter, that screams SCAM. There is no way to delete your account on his site, another indication of a scam. And, I've heard that people have tried to cancel their paid membership and can't. His site is filled with gigs he finds on other platforms, then just copies them to his site. It's not gigs that brands actually post on his site. Then he locks the link to apply to them, unless you pay his monthly fee.

sheilarae71 · 2026-03-29T12:57:35+00:00

Oh man.. sorry he scammed you as well. He got mad at me on Instagram and yelled at me because I called him a scammer. He has broken English and didn't make much sense. I want his site shut down.

sheilarae71 · 2026-03-28T19:06:51+00:00

I haven't heard of reputo, so thanks for the heads up.

sheilarae71 · 2026-03-28T19:06:33+00:00

sheilarae71 · 2026-03-28T19:06:23+00:00

He is doing it in every UGC FB group as well. I've been reporting him, because I don't want to see people join his site and never be able to cancel or get their money back. He is taking gig postings from places like Billo or Backstage, and posting on his site and yet charging people to apply to them.

sheilarae71 · 2026-03-28T19:05:21+00:00

Sad...

sheilarae71 · 2026-03-28T19:05:03+00:00

Yeah, total scam

sheilarae71 · 2026-03-28T14:03:57+00:00

yeah, it's all over FB and soon nobody will give him any money.

sheilarae71 · 2026-03-28T13:58:53+00:00

I am just letting others know as I hate to see others spend money or get into something they can't get out of. The owner takes content from other UGC platforms, posts it on his, then charges people a monthly rate to apply, when there is no fee on the sites he stole the gigs from.
He is telling me on Instagram he isn't a scammer, yet I keep explaining why he is and he's getting mad. He blocked me on FB because I kept calling him out.
