If you want to charge $150 per UGC video… Every single time someone asks you your price you should be saying it’s $200 per video (minimum). 70% of people will come back with a lower price. Now you look like you’re doing them a favor by coming down to $150. You’re welcome.

Growing your personal brand is SO VALUABLE... Instead of charging $200 for a UGC video, I've been able to charge $700+ for the same exact video but also posting it to my personal account. Lets me do 1/3 the work for 3x the pay. Don't 😴

Number 1 Free Tool for UGC creators... Adobe Enhance I have not used a microphone in months (I have 2 that total over $500). I use my iPhone, record wherever and whenever I want. Upload the audio to Adobe Enhance and it sounds like I was talking into my $200 mic.

New UGC Creators... Pitch those tech/software brands! There is no physical product and they have bigger margins = Quick creation process, larger budgets, less extensive video setups. I work almost exclusively with tech/ai companies because of this!

UGC Rates... You have to EARN that "$200 per vid" rate that you see as typical. People come into UGC and charge $200 per video because they saw a tweet saying to do it but have never sold a product from their videos... Get some social proof and then raise rates accordingly!

If you want to 3x your UGC business this month: -Don't watch Netflix (2 extra hr/day) -Don't consume Instagram (1 extra hr/day) -Don't Consume Tiktoks (1 extra hr/day) 4 extra hours/day = 28 hours/week. Spend that time creating and doing outbound. Try it and see what happens

2 simple things will make you an extra $1000 MINIMUM with UGC. 1. Every single night create a plan for the next day. Mark 1 task as the “A” task that will make you the most money. Get that done before anything else. 2. Make a plan before the start of every new week. Outline

Want to find brands to pitch UGC to? Go on IG and for 3 days straight interact with the niche you want to work in. After 3 days go to your stories and continue to click through them. You’ll now see ads in the niche you want to work in. The companies are spending.. Pitch em

Things we should not normalize in UGC: - "Following all UGC creators" posts on TT. It's killing your page - Constantly posting about bad brands (I've done some myself I know) - Unwillingness to budge on rates when still learning (less than 5k per month) Thoughts?

Unpopular UGC Opinion: Initially, you should be doing mass outbound. You should have a targeted email sequence super relevant to your niche, but not each company. You just need 2-3 people to work with you so then you have hard social proof you can leverage. Thoughts?

In the absolute nicest way possible… The “I’m following all other UGC creators” type posts on Tiktok is only hurting your account. Tiktok now thinks that those people who followed you is your target audience. You want brands & people who will buy from you to see your content

Stop trying to do EVERYTHING... If you make less than 5k/m focus on 1 platform and go all in. I suggest Twitter or Tiktok. If you've not seen any success there is no reason to be posting 7 different platforms. Find what works and the distribute it. Not the other way around.

I'm not suggesting you take those $30 deals per vid. But even $75 to $100 a video when you are starting I would take. It's an opportunity to get more experience, analytics, and confidence. Once you have 10+ deals you can say okay nothing less than *arbitrary number* Thoughts?

Consistent clients are the key to long-term success in UGC... Find you 1-2 clients a month that pay you 3k+ and all of a sudden your life gets a lot easier!

Create a $17 digital product... Sell 1 a day for the whole year You just made yourself $500 a month. That's enough for you to go to whatever restaurant you want once a month. Or my personal favorite... eat out for lunch 2-3 times a week😂

Don’t be afraid to turn down UGC deals If the money isn’t right or you don’t have the capacity to work with a brand then it’s okay to say NO. On top of that, if you find yourself at full capacity it might be time to hire out and scale the business!

Just saw a UGC creator on tiktok talking about how they know how to go viral and it’s easier than you think (I agree with that part)… BUT I head to their page cause no info was really given in the video…. Not a single post with even a couple thousand views in MONTHS.
