05 / MEET THE CREATOR
Matt Proud
@SIDEGIGMATT
Getting paid to give away free stuff, represent brands, and work exciting events changed my life. Most people I talk to don’t even know this industry exists. I created Paid To Promo to open that door for you. With step-by-step videos, guides, templates, and a clear 7-day launch plan, I’ll show you how to find opportunities, get ready, and start applying.
06 / GOOD TO KNOW
A few quick answers.
Do I need experience or a following?
The program starts with the basics. It covers in-person event work, where a social media following isn’t required for the types of roles featured. Individual listings may ask for specific experience or credentials.
Can I choose when and how much I work?
You choose which gigs to apply for based on your availability. There’s no work schedule imposed by the program and no minimum number of applications. Each accepted assignment has specific hours you must commit to. How much work you book depends on local demand, your qualifications, and selection by the hiring team.
What if I live outside a major city?
Availability varies by location and season. The program shows you how to check local demand and look at nearby markets within a distance you’re comfortable traveling.
Does the program include job placement?
Paid To Promo is a self-paced training program with videos, guides, and templates. You apply directly with agencies or employers, and each assignment has its own hiring process.
What does the $17 include?
The step-by-step video training, companion guides, templates, checklists, and 7-Day Launch Plan are bundled into one purchase. No subscription or recurring fee. Enrollment opens at launch.
Will I get booked within seven days?
The seven-day plan helps you prepare your materials, research opportunities, and start applying. It is not a promise of a booking or earnings within seven days. Hiring timelines and available gigs vary.
Do I have to finish in seven days?
No. The plan gives you a clear sequence to follow, and the training is self-paced. Spread the steps out around your own schedule.
