Megan Spencer, better known online as Meg the Creator, is a content creator and mentor who helps introverts and “everyday people” earn real money online without becoming influencers. Through her Anti Influencer Method™, she teaches practical side hustles like Amazon Onsite Commissions (“Amazon reviews”), UGC freelancing, and TikTok Shop so students can build sustainable income streams without relying on follower counts or virality.​

On this episode we talk about:

  • How Megan went from local government and social media management to building a multi–six-figure online business as a creator and mentor.​

  • The exact early steps of her social media agency: landing first clients on Upwork, charging low retainers, then scaling to $5K/month per client with a niche in holistic doctors.​

  • How Amazon Onsite Commissions works (horizontal product-review videos on Amazon product pages, no follower minimum) and why it can become “magic money” once you have enough videos live.​

  • Beginner-friendly UGC platforms (like JoinBrands and Billo), typical starter rates ($50–$80 per video, paid product photos), and how to turn that into recurring brand work.​​

  • What’s inside her Anti Influencer Method™ Skool community: training on Amazon Onsite, UGC, TikTok Shop, freelancing, and a steady stream of brand opportunities for students.​

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. You don’t need an audience to get paid. Models like Amazon Onsite Commissions and UGC let you piggyback on Amazon’s traffic and brand audiences instead of building your own following.​

  2. Start small, then level up. Early UGC jobs might pay $50–$80 per video or $15 for a quick photo set, but they build your portfolio, skills, and confidence—so you can later charge much more.​​

  3. Community and environment matter. Being in a group of people all learning the same skills (and sharing brand deals) accelerates your progress and makes the whole process far less intimidating—especially if you’re introverted.​

Notable Quotes

  • “I didn’t want to be famous—I just wanted to be paid.”​

  • “Courses changed my life. That first $997 course led to my first $2,400 client and proved I could make money online.”​

  • “You have to build what people want, then give them what they need on the back end. That’s true for brands and for creators.”​​
