The real UGC people doesn’t have the time to teach, they are making the content non stop. Go to Fiver and start an account. Wishing you the best for 2026

Don’t give up babe! My husband is a UGC creator and makes on average 10k a month so far. It’s taken time to get there and a lot of trial and error. It’s a lot more admin work then I think people expect but It’s totally worth it! 💗

I literally saw someone say they make $20k/mo doing UGC… then showed their income breakdown and $17k came from their course and only 3k from UGC 😭

Get on Fiverr. On X. Work on improving your videos. What’s coming up in your Facebook and Instagram feeds? Do that! Skip the websites, they’re trash. As far as UGC creators who have courses (and no I’m not one of them), the ones I know, they sell the course really inexpensively and it’s not their main stream of income. They are indeed landing brand deals. But you’re not gonna find good money on those websites. 💕

This is what I’ve been saying for years. - UGC is not easy. Also the sh*tty advice that beginners should pitch is probably the worst one on social media. Keep going and keep pushing through.

Gosh! I bought AIM and just applied to everything. Especially the jobs the creators posted and said they’re hiring! I started with the express jobs and then started getting the bigger stuff. I had no clue and no portfolio. If you have AIM, check every day for their posts. I think they have inside scoop or something 🤷🏻‍♀️

I've created a portfolio, made a pitch video, signed up on platforms, got certification and still nothing!!! and I've been a part of a UGC community and took courses but now feels like everything is scam and everyone is making money except for me 😂

I keep seeing "what I made in my first month" and it's like 4 figures and I think it must be a scam surely

You’re not failing. You are growing. You’ve learned a new skill and you are pushing through when others have given up.

I haven’t started fully with UGC but looked into it. Do you have an example of your work? I did work in film and television for a decade so I might have some helpful feedback.

as someone hoping to make a bit of cash on the side through UGC this year (not even a LOT, just a bit!), this is both discouraging and helpful

From what I’ve seen and learnt , It’s the new pyramid scheme. They make more money from selling you their courses.

Honestly, before pitching a bunch, I think it helps a lot to focus on building your “brand” first. Posting consistently lets you improve your video skills, figure out what works in your niche, and grow an audience. That also makes it easier to get gifted collabs to use in your portfolio and affiliate links for extra income. People say you don’t need a following to do UGC, but from my experience, brands trust you more and find you more easily when you already have content and an audience. I tried UGC at around 1k followers and didn’t get far, but once I focused on growing my Instagram and YouTube, more opportunities started coming to me. I have over 22k on instagram and it’s by far the best social platform to get brands coming to you. When pitching, what works best is offering value. I create outdoor and fishing content, so I show brands exactly how their product would fit into my videos and solve a problem for me. Brands love when you can show the product actually being used in real conditions, so when they check my socials that aligns well. I also follow the brands socials and engage with their content sometimes weeks before pitching. Consistency and having a clear niche really make a difference! If I can do it, anyone can! Just keep posting and make content you actually love! It definitely doesn’t happen overnight, but all it takes is one or a few videos to pop off and you can easily grow an engaged audience!

I’ve made basically no money from my guides that I have but I have hit a few 10k months! (The biggest growth happened in my THIRD YEAR) focus LESS on pitching & more on creating. And put your work out there constantly

I’m just a couple of months in and I’ve had really good success through clip and Billo and pitching emails - it is a numbers game though, I’ve sent over 200 emails to get maybe 20 collabs 😅 but the more personalized they are the better the response and always follow up! Good luck 🤍

Most people skip the real work. Start with small brands, create consistently, and grow. That’s how UGC actually pays.
