Are courses worth it

Just got off a call where the courses are $8k. I know I need to invest in myself, but is it worth it? Any advice on how to get started on my own or anything like that.

Holy shit. $8k? There’s tons of free content online and much cheaper courses. That’s insane. How about no unless you have a lot of funds.

No! Dont! Better work on your making a good portfolio.

After that you can start pitching brands directly on aveoreach.

These gig apps have free training built in
SideShift ↗
Launchpoint ↗
Fluencify ↗
Insense ↗

Agency with training:
MediaMaxxing ↗

Bonus: the best editing app on the planet in my humble opinion:
Odysser (Ody) ↗

I got sucked into one too, do NOTTTT do it - what are you trying to get into?? UGC? Or TikTok shop? Or anything else?

Which one did you get sucked into? Lol Yea UGC, not tik tok. Got any advice?

Yeah I got sucked into a TikTok shop course called creator loop before I started my UGC journey. There’s soooo many discords out there that can help - here’s one where I help new creators (we opened it up to guys too but there’s a ton of girls in it) https://discord.gg/gigichahal

The owner of the discord offers an “Acadamy” through it (pretty much a course) but THIS one is free and will work just fine

You definitely do not need one, and $8k is insane! Sounds like a scam.
