Does anyone know if "Taro Creates" is legit?
At the start of this year I started researching ways to make money online and came across a creator called "Taro Creates." He runs a TikTok coaching programme limited to 20 students at a time, claiming to make £50,000 a month from TikTok himself and that he can help students generate thousands doing the same.
I submitted an application out of curiosity. His free course is apparently 30 hours of content and his Discord has thousands of members posting screenshots of their earnings, so on the surface it seemed worth a look.
The sales call that followed was an immediate turn-off.
The course is £5,000, or £1,000/month if you can't afford it upfront. The pitch was full of classic high-pressure tactics — "If you knew this would make you £10,000 a month in 3–4 months, it's a no-brainer, right?" — the kind of framing designed to make hesitation feel irrational rather than sensible.
My biggest issue is this: if you're genuinely confident your coaching gets results, just take 20% of student earnings for the first few months. You get paid when they get paid. The fact that he wants £5,000 before you've seen a single result tells you where the real money is being made.
Which leads to the most glaring point — he claims £50,000/month from TikTok, but the only evidence of this is from his early YouTube videos. Nothing recent, no transparent income proof. Meanwhile, 20 students at £5,000 each is £100,000 a month. At this point it looks like TikTok was the origin story, and selling the dream of TikTok income is the actual business.
A few other things that don't sit right:
- No independent online footprint whatsoever. Not a single Reddit post, article, or YouTube video questioning whether he's legitimate. For someone running an operation this size, that's almost impossible unless it's deliberately controlled.
- The G80 BMW M4 flex. Fair enough, it's an £80,000+ car so it's not nothing — but it's also exactly what someone would prioritise if the goal is projecting wealth to attract paying students.
- The Discord screenshots are posted by community members, not him directly, so I'll give him that. But a community built around someone's paid product, with financial incentives to appear successful, is hardly independent verification.
Has anyone here actually bought his course or know someone who has? Genuinely want to know if there's any substance behind it before writing it off entirely.
