Turn your passions into a successful influencer career
Build your brand, grow an engaged audience, create content that lights you up and get paid by dream brands to live your most fulfilling life.
Maybe your day job is "fine".
Maybe you'll stick it out for just a little bit longer... But here's the truth:
The minute you start asking, “what am I DOING with my life?!” is exactly when it's no longer an option to NOT follow your passion.
And sure, you’ve been dipping your toe into “the influencer thing,” or maybe you’ve even managed to land a few brand campaigns here and there.
...But most days, you’re barely halfway through the never-ending workday of Zoom calls when the algorithm defeats you – yet again.
And if you’re being honest with yourself, you’re kinda over attempting to revamp your struggling hashtag strategy, or watching yet another free webinar that shares the most basic tips –
as if you’re not already “creating content!” or posting frequently!
And you’re DEFINITELY over spending yet another too-short lunch break trying to find the motivation to write your IG caption, wishing you could set your own hours and use your creativity on a daily basis.
Wishing someone would just tell you HOW to fix your page so you can increase engagement and see actual growth in both your following and career.
(Like those consistent 5-figure brand campaigns other influencers seem to win so easily).
Because deep down, you KNOW you’re meant for more than a desk job. You want to inspire others by following your passion – and living life to the fullest.
So let’s leave the endless zoom meetings behind...
and imagine what it would feel like to:
... Sound too good to be true? It's not. Listen to what my student community has accomplished in a matter of months:
A crystal-clear blueprint that teaches you tried-and-true strategies to create scroll-stopping content that grow your followers AND your bank account (by the thousands)
Consider it your one way ticket to going from “mayyyybbe a side-hustler” to“FULL-TIME influencer, baby!”
ENROLL NOWHow quickly can your life change? Hear what my students are saying just MONTHS after signing up:
"I'm proud to say that after joining the Influencer Mastercourse I got paid partnerships and broke $3,000/month -- and I have less than 1K followers! If I can do that with less than 1k followers, I can't even imagine what I can do in the future. It turned out to be the biggest and best investment I have ever done for myself and for my business!"
Marcela E. (@eatlikeabadass)
"I implemented the strategy on my Instagram and in January this year, I had a Reel get 8 million views. I went from 1,500 Instagram followers to about 15,000 in about 3 weeks. Catarina shared her invoice template and email pitch template and I used all that to pitch two different clients - and that’s how I ended up with my very first client."
Kat B. (@katbennettphoto)
“After joining the Influencer Mastercourse, my first big win was hitting 272K followers on TikTok, followed by 14.5K on Instagram. Before I didn’t know how to negotiate with brands - and now that I do, the course pays for itself. Don't be afraid to invest in yourself. You are going to gain so many resources and a community that's going to help you."
Sally T. (@sallytrubella)
"I came across the Influencer Mastercourse when I was still working a 9-5. I made back my investment within a month ... I grew 80K in less than 3 months - which enabled me to live my dream life in Bali. If you're on the fence about joining this course or really taking a step towards the life of your dreams, don't be - don’t give up on yourself."
Kevin D. (@wellnesskev @viraltraction)
The Influencer Mastercourse takes you through the entire journey of becoming an influencer for 2023 and beyond. From better photos to paid campaigns, from more engaged followers to a deep understanding of the algorithm - you’ll learn both the creative and the business side required for an influencer career.
10 modules full of strategies that actually work in 2023 and deliver real results:
"Since joining the Influencer Mastercourse I've gained over 50k followers on TikTok, had multiple TikTok & Reels go viral and I've landed multiple brand partnerships and deals including huge names like M&M's, Expedia and Chevrolet, to name a few. The course has been a great investment for me; not to mention I've gotten so many paid partnerships that it has paid for itself multiple times over at this point.”
Ellen (@anywherepluseverywhere)
“ Before I joined the Influencer Mastercourse I was totally at the beginning of my journey as a Fashion influencer and was struggling with so many things. I didn‘t even know if it was worth it to try it as an influencer. Since joining the course my instagram and also my skills have developed a lot! I‘m much more confident now with presenting myself and creating content. But the best is: since following the tips from Catarina strictly, I grew from 1500 followers to almost 30‘000 in only 2 months!! I started doing collaborations now and I‘m growing my audience day by day! I am now at 60‘000 followers”
Jenny (@themesmereyes)
“My followers have tripled after joining the Influence Mastercourse. I had about 2000 followers and I'm over 6000 now just a few months later, and it's continuing to grow every day. One of my Reels had over 1.5M views and I gained a ton of followers from that. I definitely would not be where I am today without Influencer Mastercourse.”
Kate (@thehappytravelgirl)
“I share roller skate content and had 20K followers before joining the Influencer Mastercourse, and I now have 58.1K followers! My biggest challenges before were collaborations and negotiations with brands. I had no idea how to start pitching brands and negotiate with them. I feel so comfortable with negotiating and pitching brands after the course AND I've landed my first paid brand partnership with a headphone company. I also had 5-10 reels go viral! I am so thankful for this course!”
Claire (@clairecstone)
"Since joining the Influencer Mastercourse, I’ve gained over 110k followers across platforms and have had several videos go viral! I’ve also partnered with a booking app and had an all-expense paid trip to Cancun! Through affiliate links, I’ve also made several thousand dollars! I am beyond thankful and I know I couldn’t have done it without Catarina’s help. I feel so much more confident now and have a much better sense of direction. I know I still have so much to learn, but with the private Facebook community and monthly lives with Catarina, I feel supported along the way!"

might’ve worked as a plan back in 2016, but today’s world requires a more nuanced strategy.
One that enables you to look at your analytics and data clearly – and know how to use it to propel your growth.
And that’s what makes The Influencer Mastercourse unique. Because you’re getting the same data-driven strategies used by top-level marketing executives at Forbes 500 companies.
I should know, because I learned those strategies alongside them…
Wait, who am I? Why am I qualified
to guide you on this journey?
I’m a full-time travel influencer and blogger with 55 countries in my passport and more than $800K worth of paid campaigns under my belt.
(And before we go too much further, you should know I hate avocados. #sorrynotsorry)
But before I even got my first DM, I worked at Google advising high-level executives on their marketing strategy. Think big titles (CEO and CMO) and big-money campaigns.
It was a “good” job, in the career path I was “supposed” to have. Sound familiar?
I felt suffocated and uninspired.
So I took a last minute trip to Bali, and spent 10 days blissfully wandering through rice fields…
until I remembered I’d eventually have to return.
(to both my job and the never-ending question – “What am I DOING with my life?!”)
I knew with my tech background, algorithm knowledge, and sheer determination to make a travel influencer career work, the life I craved wasn’t far off.
Spoiler alert: everything I teach inside The Influencer Mastercourse is what allowed me to grow my Instagram from 0-475K, grow my Tik-Tok from 0-300K (in 3 short months!), and quit my corporate job because I was making more from social media.
Since then, I’ve worked on campaigns with brands like Four Seasons, Hilton, Ritz Carlton, Marriott Bonvoy, Airbnb, United Airlines, Qatar Airways, HBO, Amazon, LinkedIn, Revolve, Japan Tourism Board, Visit Mexico, and more.
I went from working FOR Google to working WITH Google.
I’ve watched the Northern Lights bloom across the sky, experienced profound moments on a Tanzanian safari, soaked up luxury in hotels across the globe… and shared it all with an incredible community.
It’s the kind of freedom-filled life I see for you.
It’s the no-limitations career I know you deserve.
…but the fact that I've developed a program that helps others build their dream lives, too.
My students have left their corporate jobs, moved countries to locations they never thought possible, have gotten paid to stay in luxury hotels around the world, launched mentoring programs and digital products, and so much more.
After following the proven methods inside the Influencer Mastercourse, my students have landed brand partnerships with these brands and more
They're living their dream lives, getting paid to do what they love every single day.
It's the freedom-filled life you deserve, too.
Everything you need to turn your passions into a successful influencer career is inside the Influencer Mastercourse. And you get a community to support you along the way, too. See you inside?
And because The Influencer Mastercourse isn’t just an investment for now, but for your future ...

The Influencer Mastercourse is designed to give you all the tools you need for a full-time influencer career.
I’m passionate about this course. Because as a digital marketing expert with both the corporate and professional influencer experience to back
it up, I know it will help launch your career to
whatever heights you dream of.
But you have to know it, too. So, I’m offering a guarantee:
If you’ve completed the course and all assignments, and are implementing what you’ve learned within 30 days, but haven't seen any results and still don’t feel like you have the clear, step-by-step strategy to support your full-time influencer status - then please reach out to support@catarinamello.com.
I’ll insist on giving you a full refund.
You can find all the complete details in the Terms & Conditions.
“It's only been a few months since I started the Influencer Mastercourse and I've already had multiple reels go viral and grew my audience more than 10x to over 60k followers. My photography and editing skills have improved, my engagement and impressions have skyrocketed, including some months when my impressions have gone over 4M. The confidence that Catarina has given me in pitching and negotiating with brands is worth every penny of this course alone. ”
Bailey (@spiritandguts)
I share pictures of my nordic home and lifestyle and before joining the Influencer Mastercourse I had trouble with growing my followers and I felt kind of lost on how to do it. After joining the course I have had several reels gone viral and gotten so much attention on my pictures. I have been paid on all my brand collaborations and I have actually managed to negotiate a higher pay on most of them! The Influencer Mastercourse has been a great investment to me because now I know that I can make a living doing what I love."
Monica (@monicakjellemo)
“A year ago, I was not even taking my Instagram seriously and had only 400 followers. I have learned a lot since joining the Influencer Mastercourse and was able to grow my followers to 130k -- which was faster than I’d ever imagined! My favorite accomplishment has been my success with Reels. It was definitely a crucial part of the growth: one of my videos got 14.6m views!”
Jackie (@joujoutravels)
If this sounds like you, I can’t WAIT to watch you design your dream life.
Because spots are LIMITED.
And since there’s only 1 of me and my team, I want to make sure every student has the highest level of support.
So doors WILL close as soon as all seats are taken.
And I don’t know when I’ll be able to offer The Influencer Mastercourse again… and when I do, the price will be much higher.
You in?
That’s exactly why we cover mindset right off the bat – because it’s not too saturated. In the Influencer Mastercourse, I’ll show you how to find your unique voice – and what you bring to the table.
Plus, immediately after mindset, we cover how to define and establish a strong personal brand that will make you stand out from the noise.
The course is entirely at-your-own pace, so it’s up to you! You get immediate access to all modules so it depends on whether you prefer to take your time or implement as you learn. You can re-watch as many times as you need.
That being said, the recommended time frame is 3-4 weeks, which comes out to roughly 2 hours per week.
Absolutely – in fact I highly recommend jumping in now to snag your spot. Because once The Influencer Mastercourse fills up, I don’t know when doors will open again. And when they do – the price will be higher. (Ps – proud of you for honoring your available time!)
SO glad you asked :) As your friendly, global algorithm tech gal, I can show you dozens of accounts growing RIGHT NOW in various niches. I know we sure love to blame the algorithm, but real talk: I can teach you IN DETAIL how to optimize the algorithm so it works FOR you.
Yes, yes and YES! Even though my niche is luxury travel, the strategies taught in this course work in ALL industries (including but not limited to fashion, lifestyle, wellness, fitness, small businesses, food and more!). Today, our community already has creators from a diverse range of niches - from travel and yoga to cirque performing arts and even quantum computing. And in every module, you’ll get real-life examples in several niches. That’s part of what makes my data-driven approach so different – numbers don’t niche (nor do they lie).
The Influencer Mastercourse goes from fundamentals to advanced strategies, so it will work for anyone from 0 - 100K+ followers. In our community, we actually have creators who started the course with everything from 0 to 300K followers.
If you’re just starting out, you’ll learn to build the foundations and strategies to put in place to see profitable growth right from the get-go. Also, keep in mind that micro and nano influencers are the BIGGEST thing in influencer marketing right now… and brands are literally falling over their feet competing to work with creators just like you.
If you’ve been in this business for a hot second and have a good following, you’ll get incredible value out of The Influencer Mastercourse. I teach advanced strategies in every module, and you can benefit from each. If you’re already solid on your brand and content, you might find the modules on engagement strategies and monetization invaluable.
I love and appreciate this industry and my fellow influencers. But friend, I’m not “just another influencer.” I'm an online marketing expert with over 6 years of experience advising top-level marketing executives at Forbes 500 companies. And I grew most of my social media following from 0 - 200K+ *while* working a demanding full-time job at Google.
So The Influencer Mastercourse doesn’t just teach you the steps I used to grow an engaged audience of 500K+ followers on social media – it’s literally tried-and-true strategies that have had consistent results, time and time again.
I’m not interested in selling you a high-priced course that’s only fluff, and I’m not interested in students who just want to be instafamous. I'm invested in helping those who are serious about making a career online. Your success is my success as an online educator!
Unfortunately, I can’t offer 1:1 coaching at this price point. But you DO get live Q&A’s with me in the private Facebook group once a month. I’m also VERY active on group posts as well.
You don’t have to! The course is aimed at helping you make a full-time income from Instagram, but if you really love your day job and want two full-time incomes… The Influencer Mastercourse is for you too :)
Absolutely :)
As long as I’m around (didn’t you know influencers were immortal?! Kidding, kidding) and the internet exists – or a minimum of 24 months after purchasing.
If you’ve completed the course and all assignments, and are implementing what you’ve learned within 30 days, but still don’t feel like you have the clear, step-by-step strategy to support your full-time influencer status, you can ask for a full refund.
Great! Reach out to me and my team at support@catarinamello.com and we’ll answer ‘em!
Don't get me wrong when I say the Members-Only FB Community is a "Bonus"...
It's one of the MOST integral parts of the Influencer Mastercourse experience. It's a support network that will be there to learn and grow with you, to help you overcome obstacles, and to cheer you on as the wins come in.
Don't take my word for it - see it for yourself:
