I have no words.. I just landed my biggest deal ever. $10k with a beauty brand that I am absolutely obsessed with. Just finished an hour long call with their director of growth to brainstorm creatives.
I was STRUGGLING a year ago, in just a few months, everything can change😌
From accepting $70/video, to almost getting scammed by an agency, to landing my first 5-figure deal (& upselling it $3K), I'm now spilling all the UGC tea 🍵I'm here to help you get to the bag faster 💸 by sharing mistakes to avoid + strategies to double your income!
#UGC
What a day! Landed a $995 deal with a jewelry brand. Drooling over the pieces I got to pick out 🤤
Closed on a $260 deal with a Shopify App + a $300 deal with a skincare brand.
On top of that my course is launching THIS WEEK!!! Such a rewarding Monday 💫
#UGCcreator
Post the TikTok. Start the business. Making 6-figures a year is just $274/day. You can make $150-$2k a video, even with 0 followers. Content creation does not require a degree. UGC does not require followers. Your fear of looking stupid is holding you back.
#UGC
#UGCCreators
We need to create industry standards that help all creators get paid their worth.
I believe all
#UGCCreators
should be charging at least $150 per UGC video.
POV: You quit your 9-5 job and now you make content for brands and earn 4x more than you did at your full-time job. You don't have to show your face OR have a following. When you love what you do, life is good 🌟

#UGCJourney
UGC is not oversaturated! There's a lot of people who are interested but aren't truly dedicated to building a business. Remember, building a profitable business takes consistency, dedication, and you have to love what you're doing ❤️

#UGCCreators
Never give a brand RAW FOOTAGE for FREE!
So why would a brand want this? So that they can use it, edit it in house, and create unlimited variations of ads and organic content with the content you filmed.
And bestie, you're going to charge for that ❤️

#UGCCreators
Somewhere in between a 9-5, became working when I please, $2-4K/mn became $10-20K/mn, a depressing desk job became a creative outlet, dream brands I couldn't afford became clients, a few days off a year became traveling whenever I want. And the best part is, you can do it too 🧚

What’re you guys thinking now that Tik Tok has been banned in Montana?
I’m finally rolling out video content on IG & would love to connect!!
My new IG handle is @ ugc.ang
Brand outreach on IG:
Respond to one of their IG stories and use that content as a talking point. Keep it short and sweet, while letting them know you'd like to expand on 'insert video concept.'
Then ask for the best 💌 to send your partnership ideas to!

Here are some UGC mistakes I made that wasted me so much time in the beginning of my journey.
1. New creators are creating 3 videos and then starting to pitch brands. Don't worry I did this too ;)
This time last year I was jobless and broke.
I started freelancing as a content creator and made $2800 my first month.
I was SHOCKED.
In 3 months I was making $10K a month, and couldn't believe it.
UGC Newbies: Pricing Yourself
1. Start off with a base rate of $150.
2. Learn how to charge usage correctly. I charge 30% my base rate/month.
3. Start slowly increasing your rate as the demand for your services increases.
Remember, stay flexible and open to negotiation.
I rarely find the weekends to be great for connecting with brands… but I closed a deal today for $675 😁

10 things TOP UGC earners have mastered:
1. HOOKS - Finding creative ways to get the viewer to stop scrolling
2. Lighting - quality content that shows details of a product, as well as that product in action
3. Natural talking voice - sounds like they're facetiming a friend!
3 things to remember when building client relations:
1. Don't be afraid to suggest a 15 minute call to go over expectations/deliverables.
2. No question is a dumb question. "Can you clarify ___" is a my go-to.
3. Confidence is a mindset. Fake it until it's real.
It's officially 9 weeks until summer. If you're feeling stuck, here's your sign. In my first 9 weeks of starting my UGC business, I made over $13K in brand deals... I'm not special, I just took control of my own destiny ☀️🌴👙🐠
Don't have followers yet? Post as if you do! Brands will pay you for your content and not require you to post. 53 followers? You can still land paid brand deals. It's called UGC. Build a following? Make even more $$$ with influencer deals 💫

Everyone's
#UGC
journey will be different. Consistency is key. It took me a fews months of hard work before I started seeing $10-$15K months. Trust me, it's worth it 🧚
The reason I worked so hard in 2022 is for a balanced 2023. I've built a business that supports the life I want to live. I can take a day off when I need it. I'm the boss and that's the best feeling ever.
Is it just me or do brand deals seem to come in waves?
Its quiet for a few days & then BAM! Lands 3 deals in one day.
A THREAD for when you’re feeling defeated.
Just go for it! Stop telling yourself you can't do it. Stop caring what others think. If I never started content creation, I would've never experienced all that I have this year and last. Traveling to Paris with my personal assistant? 2021 me would be shocked 💫

Step-by-step: turn GIFTED COLLABS to PAID OPPORTUNITIES
When I first started
#UGC
I did a lot of gifted collabs BUT now I am working on paid terms with half of those brands.
I practiced building long-term relationships and providing VALUE. Here's how you can too!
Stay firm in your pricing! I have massively improved my content skills, self worth, & productivity by gradually increasing my rates. Content is SO VALUABLE in this digital world. As a rapidly growing community, it's up to us creators to create these standards.
#UGCrates
100k in 5 months of taking this new Tiktok account seriously.
13 of my 112 TikToks have gone viral reaching 1M+ views.
I’ve also landed my biggest brand deal ever at $5k for one post.
Biggest take away? Storytelling is everything.
Do you all have questions on TikTok
#UGC
is NOT oversaturated. Many creators get shiny object syndrome and quit before they've really even started.. leading to a high drop off rate.
Here's my thoughts:
THREAD ⤵️
UGC has so much potential.
The best part is that you set your own hours, rates, and vacation time.
Every brand needs content, which means they need creators, not just influencers, but relatable people.
It's still new and I can't wait to see the future of this industry
My Weekly To'do's:
1. Complete content for 2x influencer collabs + 3x UGC collabs
2. 2x brand calls with 2 large hair companies
3. Request/work on next content brief for makeup brand
4. Plan out photoshoot + redesign
Your girl is bussyyy this coming week. What's on your to-do?!
Life works in crazy ways.
A little over a year ago I was about to sell my car & belongings because I couldn't afford rent.
I didn't have followers so I emailed brands to create content. It worked and now I make $500-$2K per video.
If I can do it, you can do it too 🧚
Hiring an assistant and an editor.
As a perfectionist & diy type of person, asking for help is always hard for me.
So excited to build a strong team and see the growth that comes from it 📈
As a 27yr old who ditched the corp 🌎 at 22, I can confirm that unlimited vacation + earning potential & choosing when you work is the best.
I'm not downplaying the hard work it takes to get there, but I'd rather work hard for myself than someone else who makes 20x my salary 💛
UGC TAXES 🗒️ Lets talk about it!
1. You are going to want to open a LLC (Limited Liability Company) & an EIN (Employer Identification Number).
2. Open up a business bank account using that LLC and EIN information.
When I started this I thought I'd make $1-2k/month... I had NO IDEA the income potential for content creation. On top of that, I get to be creative and share all my tips and tricks with you all!
Looking for TikTok topics - What are you guys struggling with?
When emailing brands (or in any area of life) always say, “thank you for your patience” rather than “sorry for the delay.” Because let’s be honest, life happens and sometimes we miss an email or deadline.
#UGCJanuaryChallenge
I spy little ole me ✨ I remember emailing Kitsch in my first month of starting UGC and not getting a response. Over a year later, they reached out to work with me. The power of building a personal brand.
I still can't believe I get to work with some of my favorite brands all because I started UGC last year. This is your sign to get started. Try it out and see what happens 💫
#UGC
#UGCCreators
Remember that not everyone is going to land a deal in their 1st month of UGC. Be patient with the process and learn to build real valuable skills like understanding what is working/what isn't, positioning yourself as the consumer, and mastering content creation 💫
If you are completely new to content creation, start with gifted collabs to ensure you are really good at what you do. This way you can actually create value for brands ⭐
#UGC
#UGCCreators
Still can’t believe this is my life ✨
I started from zero and a year and a half later I’m making $5k in a days work.
It wasn’t luck, it was work.
Stay consistent and you can do it too 🫶🏼
I used to work with way more brands + worked more hours to make $10K/mn. By mastering content strategies + business strategies, I now charge more & work less hours! The key is high performing content! Master this and brands will pay you $1K+ for a single concept!

Hi I’m Ang! A TikTok expert and UGC creator. Quick turn around time! First video is free 🥰 I have years of digital marketing experience & deliver top notch videos that convert. Check out my portfolio -
BIGGEST FAIL I see in portfolios is boring hooks or lack there of. This is the most important part of your videos. You have 1.5-3.5sec to intrigue the viewer. If you don't, the video won't perform. This is what brands look for. KILLER HOOKS. Master them!
#UGC
#UGCCreators
Figuring out how to live like an influencer without being one is still so mind-blowing to me. Getting tons of free products and creating content that you don't have to post.. unreal. It's crazy how fast everything can change when find something you're passionate about 💫
When pitching to brands, I'm going to show up 3x in the brands inbox and then move on. I don't like to assume a brands ghosted me because sometimes they respond 2/4wks later. You have to be consistent & don't put all your eggs in one basket 😉
#UGC
#UGCCreators
In my first two months of UGC, I made over $12K in brand deals and last month I made $14K. I’m not special. Anyone with a creative drive can do this! ✨

#UGCCreator
Looking back at when I was nannying/dog walking & barely affording rent in a 2bed NYC apt w/ 4 girls. Major anxiety. Moving to LA, becoming a content creator & learning to make $10-$20k a month was the best decision I ever made 🧚
#UGC
Mastering my filming days has allowed me to work less and make more $$$.
Work smarter, not harder.
Avoid OVER filming.
Know the exact shots you need, NAIL those and move on!
The journey to becoming a full time content creator includes passion, patience, and persistence.
Continue to move through it and your dreams will turn into your reality 💘
What to do when a brand wants unlimited usage/ownership of your content?
1. Ensure the contract states if something scandalous/immoral were to happen with the brand, that the transfer of ownership would be void.
It's cliche, but starting
#UGC
completely changed my life. If you've been looking for a creative side hustle or even a full time career shift, it's possible. This is your sign to buckle down and do it. You'll never know until you try 💫
3 ways to get more $$$ per month with
#UGC
💫
1. Send extra content to offer the brand to purchase after you've already done the contracted work.
2. Offer different iterations of a single UGC concept.
3. Follow up with clients after you've already worked with them!
Q's?!👇
$150 is a solid beginner rate. Stay strong in negotiating.
Think about your hourly rate and the time it takes you to plan, execute, and deliver one concept.
Remember, this is a one person show and you're handling all pre/post production necessities.
How to succeed at UGC and what will make or break you as a content creator!
1. Brands need organic content but if you can sell products with your videos, you'll be the most valuable creator. Do this by presenting a problem, and position the product as the solution.
You want to make $10K a month?
You want free travel?
You have an iPhone?
I got you 💫
Stay tuned for a BIG announcement coming this week. You don't want to miss this.
We're all on our own paths and journeys and because of this, it's important not to compare yourself to other creators. Continue working hard, be extremely driven, and always follow what lights you up 💫

If a brand reaches out for a collaboration in which they want you to post, but the brand doesn’t align with your content/audience, offer a UGC collab instead. Here’s what I like to say:
'I'm not taking on any influencer partnerships at this time. However, (connect yourself to
UGC strategy that doubles my pay from a client.
Creating an extra piece of content and offering it for purchase.
Have you tried this? Did the client purchase the “extra” creative? LMK😊
#UGCTerms
you need to know!
➡️ What is Whitelisting?
When you the content creator post a piece of content on your platform & then the brand can use your platform, put $$ behind it, and run ads with your profile & content! AKA Spark Ads on TikTok ❤️
Questions? 👇
Yesterday was a good time to start. 3 months ago was a good time to start.
Don't let another year go by wishing you would've started earlier.

is hard IF you don't take time to master your craft. Specifically conversion driven content, pitching, and brand negotiation.
The more you do something, the easier it gets because naturally you get better. This will shine through your work.
Want long term clients?
Get comfortable getting on a phone or zoom call with brands.
By doing this you will build better relationships, and meet creative expectations through developing deliverables together.
