I know the feeling of discovering an opportunity and immediately wishing you’d started two years ago. But you can spend another year wishing—or start building the skills and portfolio you’ll be glad to have next year. UGC takes practice, outreach and patience. Starting now doesn’t guarantee s

One low offer can have you questioning your portfolio, your rates and your entire career before you’ve finished your coffee. That offer tells you what one company is willing to pay for that project. It doesn’t establish the value of every project you’ll ever create. Ask about scope. Negotiate

There are few things we experience in life that are on a different level and just doesn’t feel real… a private helicopter that’s flying over New Zealand with just you, your partner and a pilot is one of them. ❤️🚁✨ #adventure #helicopterride #newzealand #islandlife #flying

“It’s just making videos on your phone.” And the research, concepts, scripting, filming, editing, client communication, contracts and invoices apparently do themselves. 😂 Building a UGC business takes creative skill and business judgment. I’m still working toward consistent income, but I take

Deal or no deal: an Australian brand offered me a paid campaign in exchange for a $50 Mastercard. No deliverables. No usage terms. No creative brief. Just $50. Before I can say yes or no to any brand deal, I need to know what they are actually asking for. One simple organic video and a multi-

I am not gatekeeping !! I just figured out the biggest hack in the world for a Canva UGC portfolio. I wanted an inquiry form that looked like it belonged on my site, didn’t send brands through five extra links, and made it easier for potential clients to actually reach out. So, I built my for

A free product starts feeling a lot less free when it comes with a script, a deadline, revisions and permission to run your face in ads. 🫠 I accept select gifted collaborations when the product and the work involved make sense for me. But creators are allowed to ask for payment when a brand requ

NZ$500 was the goal. NZ$350 in completed work. 🫠 This week’s 5 Feet to 6 Figures recap is the part of building a UGC business that doesn’t fit neatly into an income screenshot. Paid work awaiting payment, brand conversations still in progress, two gifted partnerships worth $1,209.97 and a who

The goal wasn’t to make an ad that looked like an ad 👀 For this UGC video, I framed the product as recipes so it naturally fit into the kind of content people are already stopping to watch on their feed. But underneath the recipes? There’s a little psychology happening. Instead of telling

Next time you’re scared to send your rates, remember: the advertising budget did not disappear. It moved. Brands are already spending money to reach consumers. UGC creators aren’t asking brands to invent a new budget—we’re offering them a more relatable, versatile way to use the one they already

Can the UGC business I built in the United States work on the other side of the world? I’m not starting this series because I’ve already reached six figures. I’m starting it because I want to find out whether I actually can. Welcome to week one of 5 Feet to 6 Figures, where I’m documenting th

GUYS😭 when did creators start competing for the opportunity to work for free? Not trying to bash this brand (thus the blurring), but this is just crazy to me🫪 Curious where everyone else stands on this one. Is it just me??? #UGC #UGCCreator #UGCTips #CreatorEconomy #PaidUGC

The UGC Hotline is officially open 📞 This week’s question: Is UGC already too saturated to start? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve pondered the same thing every time I see another “day one of my UGC journey” video. But creator advertising spending is growing approximately four times faste

I accidentally turned my entire account into an ad, and I think it cost me the trust and connection I used to have with my audience. So we’re starting fresh without actually starting over. UGC advice, honest brand-deal conversations, recipes, beauty and my real life between New Zealand and Flori
