Hi there, my name is Tara Millamena.

I write books, love dressing up, and I’m a “content creation pro”.

– I’ve used my love for content creation to grow my UGC business to over

$100,000 a year 

working under 25 hr/week

I just created a new course to share my knowledge with everyone who’s looking to do the same.

Turn Your Creativity Into Income

UGC is more than just making videos — it’s a way to earn real money while building a lifestyle you love. Here’s what’s possible when you know how to land and deliver campaigns:

  • $150–$500+ average payout per campaign

  • Work with multiple brands each month

  • Keep free products from every collaboration

  • Flexible schedule — work from anywhere

  • Build long-term relationships with top brands

When I started doing UGC in 2018, I had no clue what I was doing:

I mean, just look at one of my first campaigns!

…if you’re anything like I used to be…

…you’ll be amazed at how quickly your content can level up with the right knowledge.

Over the years, so many people have reached out asking, “How do you land so many campaigns?” or “Can you give me some tips?”

After 8 years of creating UGC for brands big and small, I decided to put everything I know — every strategy, workflow, and insider tip — into one complete course.

TARA’S UGC PLAYBOOK

Learn the core tools that take your content from basic to professional. We’ll cover budget-friendly lighting that flatters every shot, camera and smartphone setups, clear-sounding microphones, and steady stands or mounts. Plus, we’ll share a few bonus tools that make filming easier and help your UGC stand out.

Lighting can make or break your content. You’ll learn to work with natural and artificial light, indoors or outdoors, plus techniques for product shots and flattering setups for people. Simple tips for pro results — no studio required.

Learn how to capture clear, natural-sounding audio that elevates your UGC. We’ll cover microphone setup, recording environments, and delivery techniques that match a brand’s tone. You’ll see the full process from script to final recording, so your voiceovers sound polished and professional every time.

See the full process of bringing a UGC concept to life. I’ll walk you through planning your shots, setting up your gear, framing and angles, and capturing both product and lifestyle footage. You’ll watch the entire filming workflow from start to finish, so you can confidently recreate it for your own content.

Turn raw clips into scroll-stopping content. In this section, you’ll see the full editing process — from trimming and arranging footage to adding captions, music, and transitions that keep viewers engaged. We’ll share tips for keeping your edits brand-friendly, on-trend, and ready to post across multiple platforms.
