Ever wonder if you need a huge following or perfect video skills to actually make money as a creator?

Megan breaks down what she calls the "anti-influencer method," a practical approach to making real money through UGC, Amazon reviews, and TikTok Shop. She started with zero followers, zero portfolio, and zero fancy gear.
