If You Know You Know with Maren Crowley

In this episode, I dive deep into a topic that not many people in the UGC (User-Generated Content) world talk about—rejection. We often see the big wins, the partnerships, and the success stories, but behind every “yes” are countless unanswered emails, pitches that missed the mark, and flat-out nos.Today, I break down what rejection really means, how to process it in a healthy way, and how you can actually use it to your advantage. I draw on my experiences in network marketing and UGC, share insights on handling no’s from brands, and give practical advice on follow-ups, building relationships, and keeping your mindset in the right place.Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned content creator, this conversation will help you reframe the way you handle rejection and set you up for long-term consistency and growth.More on the episode page →3 Key TakeawaysRejection is Normal—and Not Personal: Not every brand will say yes, and that’s okay. Most of the time, rejection is about timing, budgets, or fit—not your value as a creator.Feedback Moves You Forward: Instead of feeling discouraged, use a no as an opportunity to audit your approach. Ask yourself questions: Was my pitch clear? Am I aligned with the brand? Am I showcasing my strengths?Consistency & Relationship-Building Matter Most: Follow up (professionally, not pushy!), nurture relationships with brands, and stay visible by continually creating content. Brands remember creators who communicate well and consistently show up; sometimes, a no just means "not right now".If you've been feeling discouraged, this one's for you. Time to take action.In each episode we’re seeking truth and getting real – helping you discover your strength and voice to make the best, informed choices on YOUR terms in accordance to HIS will.Follow and connect with me on IG > @macrowleyListen, read show notes and get resources for all episodes on my website.>> The UGC Income Blueprint Course <<Your Step-by-Step Plan to Land Paid Brand Deals Without a Big Following.

Welcome to another episode of the If You Know, You Know podcast! Today I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest myths in the online space: that you have to constantly be posting to grow your following and earn an income. After years in content creation—and especially since becoming a mom—I learned that chasing growth at the expense of your presence just isn’t sustainable.In this episode, I share my journey of drawing boundaries, handling backlash from followers, and the mindset shifts that allowed me to create content with intention, not overwhelm. I’m breaking down the difference between content that connects and content that burns you out, plus practical strategies for growing your audience (and your income) without being tethered to your phone 24/7.Whether you’re a seasoned creator, a newcomer to UGC, or just looking to reclaim your time and sanity, this episode is your permission to simplify.More on my websiteEpisode HighlightsMy personal story of setting boundaries with my online presence after becoming a mom, and why I don’t share every detail of my life—or my children—onlineThe truth behind burnout: why posting more isn’t the solution and what actually works for growthThe importance of clear, relatable, and intentional content over forced, trendy, or copycat postsWhy follower count isn’t everything—brands want quality, authentic content, not vanity metrics3 Key TakeawaysYou Don’t Need to Document Everything: Growth doesn’t come from sharing every moment. Focus on what is truly worth posting—protect your presence and your precious off-time.Quality Over Quantity: Fewer, better posts that connect with your audience will take you further than daily, rushed, or trending content that doesn’t align with your brand.Be Consistently You—On and Offline: Your online voice and real-life self should match. Trust comes from authenticity, and both audiences and brands notice when you’re in alignment.In each episode we’re seeking truth and getting real – helping you discover your strength and voice to make the best, informed choices on YOUR terms in accordance to HIS will.Follow and connect with me on IG > @macrowleyListen, read show notes and get resources for all episodes on my website.>> The UGC Income Blueprint Course <<Your Step-by-Step Plan to Land Paid Brand Deals Without a Big Following.

In this episode, I dive into what a niche truly is—and what it isn’t. If you’ve ever felt boxed in or confused when someone tells you to “pick a niche” on social media, you’re not alone. I share my own journey of balancing multiple identities (golf professional, mom, content creator) and why niching down is more about clarifying your message than cutting off parts of yourself.You’ll hear how I approach my own content, how I use different aspects of my life for context and credibility, and some hard-earned lessons about staying in alignment with your values. I also walk through tangible steps to help you discover your own niche without feeling limited, so you can grow an authentic and sustainable online presence.More on the episode page on my website. In this episode:The 3 questions every niche must answerWhy your life is the backdrop, not the topicHow values-based niching lets you earn across multiple categoriesReal examples from my own content and UGC workHow to find your niche starting todayIn each episode we’re seeking truth and getting real – helping you discover your strength and voice to make the best, informed choices on YOUR terms in accordance to HIS will.Follow and connect with me on IG > @macrowleyListen, read show notes and get resources for all episodes on my website.>> The UGC Income Blueprint Course <<Your Step-by-Step Plan to Land Paid Brand Deals Without a Big Following.

Everybody online is promising you'll replace your income in 30 days. Here's the truth — that's not the full picture. I'm walking you through my honest UGC timeline: from starting at absolute zero, two weeks before my second baby was born, to landing my first paycheck and building something real.My first UGC job paid me $15 for a photo.

Let’s get real. If you’re a mom and you’ve ever thought, “I don’t have enough time to build something online,” this episode is for you.Because here’s the truth. Motherhood didn’t make you less capable. It built skills in you that translate directly into high-performing UGC. And if you’ve ever been in an MLM, you already know how heavy that “always on” pressure is. UGC is different. It’s deliverable-based. You film, you submit, you get paid. No rose-colored glasses. Just a model that respects boundaries.In this episode, I dive deep into one of the biggest misconceptions out there — that motherhood sets you back in business, especially in the world of UGC (User Generated Content) and social selling. I share my own transition from hitting the top ranks in network marketing to becoming a mom of two and finding my groove in the UGC space.My goal is to encourage you: being a parent, specifically a mom, is not a disadvantage—it's your superpower. I break down the real skills motherhood gives you, why UGC offers a healthier way to earn online, and how the decision-making you master as a parent directly translates to success as a creator.Read the blog article on my website for more.My 3 Biggest Takeaways:Motherhood is Your Secret Weapon: The skills you build as a mom—multitasking, problem-solving, quick decision making—actually set you up to succeed online.UGC Gives You Flexibility and Freedom: Unlike the relentless demands of network marketing, UGC is deliverable-based. This means you don’t need to be “on” 24/7, recruiting or performing for social media.You’re More Than Qualified: Don’t let “I’m just a mom” hold you back. Moms make budgets, strategize, negotiate with toddlers, and run households—you are already equipped with business skills.In each episode we’re seeking truth and getting real – helping you discover your strength and voice to make the best, informed choices on YOUR terms in accordance to HIS will.Follow and connect with me on IG > @macrowleyListen, read show notes and get resources for all episodes on my website.>> The UGC Income Blueprint Course <<Your Step-by-Step Plan to Land Paid Brand Deals Without a Big Following.

Should Christian families celebrate Halloween? Instead of jumping on the latest bandwagon, I'm sharing my family's personal convictions and the important distinction between authentic spiritual discernment and trend-following.In this episode I open up about why we don't do Santa Claus, how I still let my kids trick-or-treat, and the questions every Christian parent should ask before making faith-based family decisions.

Hey everyone, I'm back after taking a little break - and let me tell you, between my work in the golf industry and family life, things have been absolutely wild! I needed to slow down and really process everything that's been happening, especially with this huge news about Modere shutting down. It's bringing up a lot of parallels with what we saw happen with Beachbody, Make Wellness, and other MLMs.>> More on the episode page on my websiteAs someone who was once a top leader in Beachbody, I want to share my insider perspective on what's really going on in network marketing - the culture, the red flags, and yes, even the cult-like aspects that I personally experienced. I'll be real with you about how hard it is to leave these organizations and the manipulation tactics they use to keep people in.We're going to dig into some pretty eye-opening stuff today - like how these top leaders bounce between companies, the sketchy practice of "bridge payments" (I'll explain what those are), and why it seems like actual products take a backseat to endless recruitment.I'm also going to break down something fascinating - how MLMs actually fit the criteria that cult expert Michael D. Langone uses to identify cult behavior. I've got plenty of real stories from my years in the industry to show you exactly what I mean about the manipulation, leader worship, and how they use exclusion to keep people in line.But don't worry - I'm not just here to point out problems. I want to show you there are better ways to make money, like creating UGC (User-Generated Content) or getting into Amazon shoppable videos. Trust me, these alternatives are so much more empowering than the MLM model.Resources:YoU Get Ca$h Course: marencrowley.com/yougetcash  Learn how to become a User Generated Content creator + get paid fast.Have A Healthy + Holistic Pregnancy Get your free guideUnlock the Secret to Making Money Online Today Get your free guideOptimize your Debt! Strategically Using Credit Cards to help your Money Work Smarter!In each episode we’re seeking truth and getting real – helping you discover your strength and voice to make the best, informed choices on YOUR terms in accordance to HIS will.Follow and connect with me on IG > @macrowleyListen, read show notes and get resources for all episodes on my website.>> The UGC Income Blueprint Course <<Your Step-by-Step Plan to Land Paid Brand Deals Without a Big Following.
