Audur Banks Promises to Make You a UGC Creator by 2024
Your wish to become a UGC creator is Audur Banks’ command. She doesn’t have a magic spell or a witches’ brew, but she does have a free mini-course and other digital products that will make all your creator dreams come true. Her goal? To help you become a UGC creator by 2024.
Inspired by a big life change of her own (quitting her job with two kids at home), Audur knew she wasn’t the only one looking for flexibility and the potential to make a decent income. UGC stood out for a few reasons: you don’t need lots of followers, you create content when you want to, and the community is really supportive. Now she not only creates UGC content for brands, but she also coaches others on how to do the same.

Build a Mini-Course, Build Your Audience
A mini-course is not like a regular online course – they are short but effective and easy to digest, about 10-30 minutes long. For creators and educators, they’re an ideal digital product not only for teaching your audience a topic, but also for building your email list and generating revenue.
