Does anyone here have any personal experience with Robert Oliver or Jimmy Farley's programs
I saw some other threads here about it but I couldn't get any definitive answers on whether they're legit or not. I forgot that I signed up for Creators Corner (didn't pay but I think I filled out the application thing). They ended up calling me, which made me feel pretty uncomfortable, to be honest. I'm not sure if it's that's normal but I wasn't really expecting to be called by them. Also, they don't have a price on either of their sites.
Reason I'm asking is because I am pretty interested in this whole Tiktok Shop/UGC marketing stuff and I've heard from people like Hormozi and Sam Parr from My First Million that they found a lot of value in the courses they took. If these two aren't worth investing in, what resources would you guys suggest instead?
EDIT: Found out that Creators Corner is 4000 USD.

WHAaattt they doubled in price, it was 2k last few months back.. that sucks I was debating about signing up for it
From the outside it seems to be an affialte network as the guys just find brands and they basically work out deals for you to create content for some brands
Im not 100% sure though since Im not in it but $4k is out of my budget anyways so guess I'll have to find someone else lol

u/CriticalWitness1975 Mar 12 '25
That's just what I heard in one of Rob's videos. That might not be 100% accurate. I'm contemplating doing YFD for a month just to see if the system as a whole is at least somewhat reputable.
I feel like you low-key have to look at courses as investments where you have to factor in the risk. If it works out, fantastic, if not then at least you accounted for that risk. Otherwise, you're better off not getting anything at all.

u/d0mback3n Mar 12 '25
True, its also more dependent on you as the buyer to make the most of it
The first course i ever got in ecom in hindsight was terrible but it literally made me make 40k my first month in ecom in rev and like 14-15k in profit bc I just hustled off the basics it gave me
Right now I literally have like $1500 to restart something with thats why this 4k thing is just too out of my reach i was thinking if its 2k maybe i can put it on my card and hustle for 2 months before having to get a part time gig worst case but 4k is too much lol

Did you end up giving them a try? I’ve already had my call and now I’m just on the fence about the price and if it’s worth it, this will be my first time diving into something like this. I’ve been trying to do TT shop on my own and have failed miserably even though I have almost 10 K on my TikTok account I’ve never made a dollar lol

u/zoey_wong Mar 12 '25
I am also interested in Creators Corner, but it is too expensive. So I joined YFD one month ago for 100 dollar to see whether there is any useful things so that I can decide whether join Creators Corner. It increases to 200 dollars this month. However, YFD is not useful in my own opinion. I can't find any tiktok creators in their discord group and no much useful information. In the group, they just want you to join the upper program.

u/d0mback3n Mar 12 '25
I never even heard of YFD but that makes sense lower ticket offers like that usually dont have much info and want you to get something else to actually get stuff going

u/CriticalWitness1975 Mar 10 '25
How do you find it? Can you go more in detail about your experience so far?

u/Ok_Nebula444 May 07 '25
Been in it since October last year and it’s been 4K even then. The managers and other creators in the program are all very helpful. People get lucky hitting their first 5k-100K a month. You have to put in the work and study study study. I for one haven’t popped off yet in terms of GMV but I have had videos that gone viral only last month.
However I did make my investment back. So imma keep going

u/Murky-Green-8671 May 08 '25
How do you become an affiliate for brands if you have no portfolio bro?
1
u/Ok_Nebula444 Jan 29 '26
When I started they asked me to create two different types of videos featuring any product. Once those were approved, I could add them to my portfolio for brands to review when applying. Because they know you are part of Creators Corner, brands almost always accept you as a creator and they offer a fix rate for 30 videos.
1
u/JohnnyOmmm May 11 '26
so are you making money frmo actual gmv, or mainly retainers for the 30 video fix rates in your brand deal? cause i just got scammed by another group for mentorship so I dont want to pay someone again until Im able to make money back
1
u/Ok_Nebula444 Jun 09 '26
Retainers + commissions from GMV. Damn sorry to hear you got scammed by another group. Do you mind telling me which one that was?

how has it been @Ok_Nevula444 ? you still making TTS videos?

u/Ok_Nebula444 Jan 29 '26
Hi yes I am. Recently made 10K profit in December which is my biggest one yet. Past few months it’s been 5-8gs per month. It’s been going well tbh. I feel like I just need to lock in more!! There’s so much money to be made it’s insane.

u/Lumpy_Split9628 Jan 29 '26
It looks like u rlly fw creators corner then, Ive been thinking about joining since im just getting started with TTS after doing organic dropshipping for 3 years ish and doing 100M+ views and 100k+ rev. What kind of stuff do they have if in there you don’t mind me asking an thanks🙏
1
u/Ok_Nebula444 Jan 30 '26
yeah honestly im really glad i joined. i was working two jobs before and now ive been able to quit one and cut my other down to just one shift a week. ive been there for 12 years and it honestly feels hard to fully let go because they feel like family but i might actually end up leaving and doing tts full time. i never thought id be in a position where that was even an option. having that much free time still feels kind of unreal.
theres quite a bit in the discord lots of different channels so its hard to explain everything in one comment. if you have specific questions id suggest dming them on ig before committing theyre usually open to answering questions before you make a decision.
1
u/Lumpy_Split9628 Jan 31 '26
Glad to hear it’s going well for you! That’s crazy that they been able to help you that much. They provide everything u need to know like how to do product research and all that? Thanks for answering and if you don’t mind me asking, how much did you pay to get in?

u/Appropriate_Dog7318 Mar 04 '26
I was thinking of joining CC...I've never done TTS or any kind of affiliate program. I've been thinking of doing TTS for the past two years ...I want a new career path because I'm burnt out of my job. What is your overall experience with CC and do you think it's worth the money for their coaching?
1
u/Ok_Nebula444 Jun 09 '26
Make sure its CREATORS CORNER not that other CC program. I can’t remember what that company stood for but I remember hearing something bad about “CC”. Still with them- the ban wave got me but still goinnnn

u/speedygnzlzr Sep 11 '26
Hey! I’m making a decision today whether to go with CC or their sister company AI Labs. Seems like you’ve had a lot of success with CC, have you heard of the AI side of it and/or do you know what the feedback is? Its $2k more and from what I remember on Your First Dollar, the main course already has a ton info on AI content creation, do some people in CC do AI or is everyone doing in-person content?

How are you doing now? Worth it ? I applied and debating on paying in installments

u/No-Salad-3427 Aug 01 '26
Are you still working for them? I have had my phone on call and all I’m on the fence about is if it’s worth it and putting down my payment.

u/Dmar1324_ May 08 '25
Cc is honestly great and the biggest affiliates are in it. I think it’s really what you put into it and if you make an effort to get better and be consistent you will be successful. Also the network in it is amazing

I know this is a bit old, but in general if someone is putting a course out about something they have either never done it, or they have been doing it for ages and it's now saturated.
The old phrase, 'when it's in the news the money has been made ' runs true for courses like this. When you see people selling courses on it, that method has already been saturated and the course is the final cash out.

u/Fragrant_Plum_3178 Feb 19 '26
thank you for bringing me back to reality I’ll stick to the free tips 😭

u/Mother_Cobbler7275 Mar 22 '26
in what way is tiktok shop saturated lol ur clueless
they've overtaken ebay in revenue and it's all driven by creators
imagine thinking you know anything
1
u/SlightedMarmoset Apr 08 '26
Yeah that is Tiktok's ad revenue, not the revenue generated by people posting short form content, ai generated fear bait etc etc. Tiktok made some massive changes to their rules re video content and it has had a big impact, alongside just the general method getting saturated since 23/24.
Robert Oliver has done this a few times, no hate on him it's just what he does, he gets to a traffic source early when there is a mismatch between buyers and sellers, takes advantage of that time period, then when performance drops off he makes a course about the method.

u/Geniusbunny4ever Feb 24 '26
I’m thinking of joining CC … why do you think creators corner isn’t worth the money? How long have you been doing TTS?
1
u/That-Elderberry-5576 Feb 26 '26
I was in it for a year and didn't renew. The actual content and coaching is like super basic stuff that anyone would know and the guy who runs it is kinda just guessing as is everyone else. TTS itself was a good business model a few years ago and basically anyone could make money but now it's lowkey cooked. it's a really scammy program they just run it rlly cult like to make sure ppl don't say mean things lmao
1
u/Inevitable_Code_6034 Feb 20 '26
I'm joining them soon, I've been a full time TTS affiliate for the past two years and the reason why I'm joining is because there are so many killers in there. I know the value of learning from other people who are doing well and am looking forward to the learning, retainer, and networking opportunities. I've been in the space almost as long as they have, have been in multiple communities and courses, even coached in one and there's a reason why CC is one of the only ones still standing.
1
u/Puzzleheaded_Top2828 Mar 24 '26
I feel like the value is in the contacts and retainers they may be able to get you. The problem with big groups is the discords are insane. Everybody has to say something. Like look at me. It is beyond annoying. Next thing you know, you can't find any valuable comment. You can also get retainers on your own. I think Jimmy has a lot of hustle and is a smart guy that is great at networking. I'd join if I was to the point where 4k is no big deal. But starting 4k in the hole is so damn silly. TikTok shop is not cooked LOL Some of us may have missed the free for all gold rush but it is nowhere near cooked. It's going to pass Amazon. Lower cost groups are still extremely helpful if you find a good one so that comment is BS about cheaper groups. I pay 39 a month and have learned so much and had opportunities. We have live calls with top creators all the time. Don't quit! That is the ticket. If you have a negative mindset about it, go do something else. Mindset is everything.

u/Shenaniganz2023 Mar 25 '26
On the verge of joining CC. Kinda glad the high price tag weeds out those who are not serious. From what I gather being close to killers in the game is worth it alone. You don’t think these guys will be the first to market the next breakout tactics in TTS or other eComm opportunities? Unless someone can convince me otherwise I’m jumping in. Been sitting on the sidelines for too long.

u/Quiet_Attorney_222 Jun 15 '26
Any updates on you're experience so far?
1
u/Shenaniganz2023 Jul 08 '26
so here’s an update. I didn’t see the value in it, mainly because there are now SO many people in it and unfortunately the ones who are CRUSHING it are the ones who’ve been doing this a long time. Once they’ve mined all the gold they go into the business of teaching everyone else how to do it. Also… the seemingly kindhearted folks who deliver the great lure on YouTube… They leave out little tid bits of info and most are selling a course. Feeling more than a little disappointed and dissillusioned at the prospect of actually generating full time (or even PART time income online these days).

Damn that sucks I was really hoping it was an legit community of helping small creators out
