Paid Brand Collabs for Badasses Under 10k

Learn how to turn your content into cash with brands you actually love

Hi I'm Kara Harms, better known as Whimsy Soul

I get you, because I am you. I started Whimsy Soul in 2015, back when “influencer” wasn’t even a buzzword, and I had to figure everything out the hard way (yes, including crying on the floor after brands paid me late).

Since then I’ve survived every algorithm apocalypse, built a six-figure content business, and partnered with brands like Airbnb, Alaska Airlines, and Old Navy... and even ended up on a Times Square billboard and on NPR multiple times.

And unlike most “ guru coaches,” I’m still in the trenches signing deals every week, so what I teach isn’t theory, it’s exactly what’s working right now. I want YOU to make FU money on your content so you can live your dream life.

Trusted (and Paid) By These Brands

just to name a few

I'm Not Like Other Girls Coaches 💅

Most “influencer coaches” blew up once and now act like experts. But I’ve been a content creator for nearly a decade, still landing brand deals every week, and I’ve actually cracked the code on how to turn content into cash.

I share my wins (and my fails) so you can skip the guesswork and step straight into your own paid creator era.

For Badass Influencers >>

Stop Posting for Free. Start Getting Paid.

You don’t need 10k followers (or a blue check) to land brand deals that actually pay your bills. What you do need is a roadmap that shows you how to pitch, price, and negotiate with the confidence of Elle Woods on the first day of Harvard.

Right now you’re probably:

Watching other creators land paid partnerships and waiting for your turn
Pulling your rates out of your ass and praying the brand doesn’t laugh
Low-key worried you’ll look like a sellout if you dare ask for money

I’ve been there. And lucky for you, I’m basically your Virgo bestie, the one who’s ready to hold your hand, pass you the scripts, and make sure you get paid.

That’s why I built Monetize Your Magic, so you can stop guessing and finally make FU money from the content you’re already creating.

Your Paid Creator Era Starts Here

If you want your mailbox stacked with PR packages and checks from paid collabs… this is the place.

If you’re ready to get paid to rock your favorite fits, jet off to luxury hotels, and turn your everyday content into cold, hard cash… you’re in the right spot.

And if you crave those constant pings from brands sliding into your inbox begging to work with you… yep, that’s on the table too.

Because free mascara is cute, but we’re here for invoices.

It’s Influencer Brand Deal Strategy That Actually Pays

I don’t teach you how to “grow fast on TikTok” or “go viral.” Cute, but not the point. I teach the brand deal strategy that puts actual money in your account since that’s the whole reason you’re here, right?

✨ A creator business that feels simple (no more overwhelm + guessing games)
✨ Brands sliding into your inbox and saying yes to your fat rates
✨ Consistent income because you finally know what you’re worth
✨ Plug-and-play templates so you can stop overthinking and just hit send
✨ The shortcut I wish I had because crying over late invoices and free popcorn is so not the vibe
