I MADE IT! I made 10,100$ in April as a UGC creator🤯
In my first month of doing full-time UGC I achieved one of my biggest goals! 🥺
Here’s the details on how I made 10,000$ this month
1. I worked A LOT! I worked around 48 hours each week (I worked on the weekends) 🧵🪡
✨ OPPORTUNITY FOR UGC CREATORS ✨
I’m currently working with a brand and we need more UGC creators! 👩🏼💻
Send your portfolio in the comments (don’t dm me please)!
I will make a first selection and then give them a list of UGC creators they can potentially work with. 💕
I’m so excited to say that I have landed a deal of $1,150 for 1 UGC VIDEO! 🥳🙌🏼
The video is an ad and the brand wanted perpetual usage rights.
If a brand want perpetual usage rights, always charge from $700 to $1200 for this! 👩🏼💻
UGC OPPORTUNITY!! 👀
I am working with a pheromone perfume brand and they are looking for one other female creator and one male!
Follow me and comment your portfolio! 🙌🏼
We will choose 2 people in the comments! ☺️

After spending 2 months creating my website, it's finally done! 🥳
I wanted something different than a Canva portfolio, so I created a website on Squarespace. I am so happy with the result! ✨🥰
You can check it out here:
I’m moving in with my boyfriend and I needed new furniture!
I pitched to some brands and Amazon sellers and ended up landing these deals:
- A king size bed 🥹
- Nightstands
- Bedroom dresser
- Chair for my office
I’m so grateful, this is all possible because of UGC! 😭
Being a UGC creator is like being on a roller coaster🎢
Last week, I didn’t receive many inbounds so I was getting discouraged. This week, I’ve received 8 emails from brands wanting to work with me.🤯
If you’re feeling discouraged, remind yourself that good things are coming💓
This is my first hotel collab! Staying here for 4 nights in exchange of content. This place is just GORGEOUS!!!
I’m beyond excited!! 💓

Landed my highest paid deal today for $3,300 🥳!!!
I’m actually really excited to work with them because it’s a compagny I LOVE!
I will be managing their TikTok account, help them with their social media strategy and create some videos! 👏🏼
A great way to start the weekend!🤩
Let’s normalize a slow start to UGC journey!
It can be so discouraging when everyone is saying «I made 1k on my first week» or «I made 10k this month».
It’s ok if you are not there yet, everyone’s journey is different! 🤍

September was another successful month! 🎉
I made $24,490 🤯 I was in shock when I saw that number!
This income is from UGC deals, my UGC guide & coaching calls!
This is exactly why you should be diversifying your income! 🙌🏼
I just reached 10k on TikTok! And I only started my TikTok account a month and half ago.🤯 IM SCREAMING!!! Im sooo happy! 🥳
Consistency and quality is the key 🔑

UGC CREATORS FROM EUROPE NEEDED 👀
A brand is looking for creators in Europe. If you are from Europe, comment your portfolio in the comments. I will send the brand all of your portfolios. 🫶🏼
(Pst if you are selected you might be doing wine testing😍)

I’m literally on cloud 9😭
Yesterday morning I launched my UGC Creator guide and didn’t really know how it would go. Turns out that I sold 130 guides! 🤯
I’m speechless! I poured my heart into this and I’m so happy that my efforts paid off! 💖
Life is GOOD! 🥹🫶🏼
If you want to land furniture deals, Amazon is where it’s at!!!! 👀✨
Tip: make sure you change each pitch you send and don’t send links or your email address to not get banned! 🙌🏼
HOW TO REACH OUT TO BRANDS ON INSTAGRAM!✨
I used to DM a brand and directly pitch my UGC services to them, but I would not get that many replies.
So instead of doing that I started INTERACTING with brands on Instagram.
Thread 🧵
UGC OPPORTUNITY!!
I loved working with this brand
@useMotion
! It’s so simple to work with them and they don’t take forever to pay you! 😉
Right now they are looking for more creators.
Click the link to apply!👇🏼
July hasn’t started yet and I have already secured $5,600 in deals! 🤯
How I did this?
- Post consistently on my social media to get inbounds from brands
- Offer more content to my past clients
- Reach out to brands in advance
👏🏼👏🏼
Let’s say it, UGC isn’t easy when you start!
I feel like lots of people can make you believe this, but the reality is that you have to work hard. You won’t get deals by doing the bare minimum.
But if you are willing to put in the work, it will pay off! 💪🏼

Okay, this feels unreal to me... 🫣
Last month, I made $21,332 by doing UGC for brands and the launch of my UGC creator guide. 🤯
LIKE WHAT?!? I NEVER thought I would make that much in a month, but that was possible because of my digital product. 🥹👏🏼
Got an inbound saying their budget is $2,000/month!
I was so excited at first, but here's the catch, they said "we need 2 videos per day" which means around 60 videos. That means you're paid $33 per video, which is nothing especially if you put a lot of time into it. 😳
#UGC
I just finished a call and it went super well, I closed my first hotel deal! 🥳
I will be staying at a beautiful resort in exchange of content. I’m beyond excited! 🥹🤍

I have 2 paid deals to create content for brands during my trip to Bali. I will make $500 while travelling. Never thought that would be possible. I’m on cloud 9! 😭
If I can do it, so do you! ✨

Hello guys,
It’s a been a minute. I have been putting a lot of energy to grow on Instagram within the last few weeks. And let me tell you, it’s working… 🤭
I started this account at the end of March, with zero followers. 🤯
Do you want to learn more about my strategy? 👀
Let’s be honest!
It is HARD to post consistently on ALL your social media accounts.😅 I’ve been putting a lot of energy on growing my IG and TikTok account, so I have been less active on Twitter.
If you feel the same, just know you’re not the only one who’s struggling! 🫠
I know we all share our wins on Twitter and I love to see everyone succeed.
However, I know how easy it is to compare yourself when you scroll on here (I have done it).
This is just a reminder to stop comparing yourself and think about what YOU’ve achieved in the past weeks. 🫶🏼
I have been doing photography for more than 7 years. I personally love to be creative in order to get the perfect shot. 📸
Here’s a photo example on my portfolio that I am so proud of! ☺️

5 FREE WAYS TO FIND BRANDS TO REACH OUT TO AS A UGC CREATOR! 👀
1. Tiktok Creative Center. There are so many brands paying for ads on Tiktok, so find brands you like and reach out to them.
2. Facebook Ads Library. A bit like Tiktok Creative Center, but for Facebook.
Thread👇🏼
This is a remind to show up on social media! 🫶🏼
Just post, don’t overthink it, you’re content doesn’t have to be perfect.
By posting consistently, you will increase your chances of brands finding you, having the upper hand during negotiation and making more $$.
JUST POST 👏🏼
4. I accepted a lot of deals from brands wanting only 1 video (which I won’t do anymore). I made a lot of money with that but it was exhausting.
So yea, I want to be 100% transparent with you guys! If I can achieve a 10k month, so do you! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

My favorite hooks to grab the viewer’s attention! 👀
- Eye-catching & provocative content
- Before/after result
- Using the greenscreen effect
- Colourful shots to grab the attention
- Showing the benefits/functionality of the product
- Addressing a relatable problem
Created this concept for one of my clients!
They wanted an ad that feels organic and this video has been performing well for them! 👏🏼
This shows that not every brand needs a scripted UGC video (with a hook, body, social proof, CTA) to make sales! 👀
3 brands told me they were impressed with my website... 🤩
If you're thinking of changing your UGC portfolio made with Canva to something more professional, this is your sign to do it! 👏🏼
Rented a studio today to do a personal branding photoshoot! ✨🌸
It was SO FUN but I am exhausted, we took content for 8 hours straight 😂
I’m so excited to share the content on my social media! 🤍
Told myself it would be a slower month, because July was CRAZY.
It’s August 8th and already contracted $8,545 in deals. 😅
It might not be a slow month like I planned to.🥲
This is month, I started saying no to UGC deals 🙅🏼♀️
I have other projects I want to work on, and I never have time to work on those because I take on too many clients. 😩
So I started saying no to UGC deals and telling brands that I will be available in November! ✨👏🏼
WANT MORE INBOUNDS? 📩
BE CONSISTENT ON TIKTOK! 📱
Since I’ve been posting a lot and my audience started to grow, I have been receiving inbounds EVERY DAY!
I’m so grateful for that, it makes things much easier! 🤍

HOW TO SAY NO TO GIFTED COLLABS? 🤔
Personally, I don’t accept gifted collabs, but I always try to say « no » to the brand in a nice way! Here’s what I say:
“ I don't currently have the capacity to take on unpaid partnerships at the moment, but…
(🪡🧵)
Ok pitching to Amazon Sellers really works…
I have pitched to a few sellers and just landed a deal for 2 nightstands! 🥳🙌🏼
I’m moving in with my boyfriend so I will keep pitching during the month and will keep you guys updated! 🙌🏼
Today I booked another 3 months trip in Asia for January 2024👏🏼🥹
I’m able to make money and take vacation whenever I want, all because of UGC. This sounds unreal, I feel so lucky. 💛
A lot of travel/Airbnb content coming up! 🤭
UGC OPPORTUNITY FOR MOMS! 🤱🏼
So a brand reached out to me, but it’s an app for babies.. (& I’m bot a mom 😅)! So, I told them I could help them find other creators!
If you are interested, comment your portfolio & follow me!
I will send them all the portfolios! 🫶🏼
Made $1,867 in the last 7 days while on vacation🤯
How? 👉🏼 PASSIVE INCOME!
My digital product was selling while I was surfing & enjoying the beach. 🌊
Literally anyone can sell digital products & make a passive income…
Eventually want to teach creators how to do this too 👀
Never put links or attachements when sending your first email to a brand, you’ll end up in spam 🗑️
I just have my portfolio in my signature and I just let them know that they can check it out in my signature ✔️

I got invited to an event for the brand Vichy 🫣
I’m sorry , WHAT???
Sadly the event is happening where I live, but just the fact that I got invited is CRAZY to me! 🥹
So grateful for all the opportunities that UGC brought me! 🤍
I did 3 follow-ups with a brand and never received a response from them for more than 3 weeks.
Today they finally reached back to me saying they have selected me for the collaboration! 🙌🏼🥹
This is your sign to follow-up with brands! 👀
It’s the first time in so long that I do not feel like I’m not drowning in work.
And it honestly FEELS so good! ✨
That’s exactly why I wanted to become a UGC creator in the first place. To be able to make my schedule and take days off whenever I want! 🙌🏼
One thing I love about being a UGC creator is the FREEDOM of being a freelancer.
Today, my boyfriend and I decided we are going on a road trip to Maine to go surfing. 🏄🏼♀️
I love to go on spontaneous adventures and my job allows me to do so! 🥹👏🏼

Why you should have your own domain👇🏼 💻
I have been told by many brands that they noticed that I have my own domain and not a Canva domain. I swear, it makes a huge difference. It makes you look way more professional! 👏🏼
You can directly buy it on Canva!
For example, I will let them know I like their company and their products and usually the brands answer back.
After that, I ask for an email to reach out to, and I pitch my services in my email.
Since I have been doing this, I have seen a huge increase in the replies I get 📈
Some subject lines I like to use for my emails 📩:
- Let's co-create viral ___ content that will blow your audience away!
- Let’s unlock new opportunities together!
- A collaboration that will leave a lasting impact
- Let's collaborate to showcase your ____!

Honestly the UGC community is so SUPPORTIVE!! 🤯
Everyone is giving advices, helping others to succeed & sharing tips.
So grateful to be a part of this community 🤍

Websites and software I use the most as a full-time UGC creator:
✔️Notion
✔️ Canva
✔️ PandaDoc
✔️ Quickbooks
✔️ Stan Store
✔️ Calendly
✔️ WeTransfer
All must haves if you’re a UGC creator! 👏🏼🤩
HOW TO STAND OUT FROM OTHER UGC CREATORS?
I have been asking myself that lately. 🤔One thing I decided to do to stand out from other creators is to create a website through Squarespace instead of Canva. I can’t imagine how many Canva portfolio brands receive per day. 😅
(🪡🧵)
GUYS thank you all for sending over your portfolios! 🥹🫶🏼 I got so many omg, I was overwhelmed. 😂
We’ve selected a few and we’ll choose 1 female and 1 male soon.
We’ll contact you by email if you are chosen. ✨🫶🏼
UGC is opening the doors to endless opportunities 🤯
I will be giving my first content creation workshop for a brand! 😭🫶🏼 I am more than excited to for this new challenge! 🙌🏼

I pitched to a few hotels and villas in Bali on Instagram, and got a few positive answers asking for more information. 🤩
I bought my email template from

and I love it!!!!
Manifesting one travel deal! ✨🤞🏼
For the third time this year, I will be working with the same client! 👏🏼
This makes me so happy, because that means they love my work since they keep coming back for more. ☺️

I know being a UGC creator and having to post on every social media can be overwhelming. So this month, I worked with Orange Tree VA and had a virtual assistant. 👩🏼💻
It was a game-changer and let me tell you why:
Thread 🪡🧵
I’m currently packing for another road-trip for the weekend! 🤭
One of the main reason I wanted to be a freelancer is for the FREEDOM! ✨
The freedom to take days off whenever you want, to work and take a vacation whenever you want.
That for me, is worth SO MUCH! 🩷
✨ OPPORTUNITY FOR UGC CREATORS ✨
I’m currently working with a brand and we need more UGC creators! 👩🏼💻
Send your portfolio in the comments (don’t dm me please)!
I will make a first selection and then give them a list of UGC creators they can potentially work with. 💕
Managing time as a full-time Master's student, working part-time and trying to start UGC is hard.
Sometimes, I cannot get as much done on UGC as I would want to. So just know that if you are struggling like me, you are not alone!!! 🤍
WE GOT THIS! 💪

#UGCcommunity
Just finished a call with a brand and I just closed my first monthly retainer. 🥹
My client is a entrepreneur and we will work together to grow the TikTok account of her brand. These are the types of projects I am PASSIONATE about.
I literally can’t stop smiling. 🤭

Somehow I managed to convince my boyfriend to be in my of my UGC video for a client. We had a good laugh cause we weren’t good at this! 😂 But we still managed to get a good shot! 🙌🏼

The best part about being a UGC creator is that UGC has endless possibilities. You can work with many brands in so many different industries. Every brand needs content for their social media! 👏🏼👏🏼

What are your rates for voiceovers? 🤔
I got asked to create only voiceovers for a brand (which is convinient for me since I am travelling and can’t receive any products).
I’m unsure how much I should ask for a 30sec voiceover?
#ugc
#ugccommunity
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE PORTOFLIOS! 💓
I send the client all of your portfolios and he will contact the creators chosen. Let me know if you end up working with them! 🙌🏼
Just had a call with a client and it went so well!🤩
This is how you make sure discovery calls go well:
👉🏼Do some research about the brand
👉🏼Already come up with content ideas
👉🏼Ask the right questions (budget, deliverables & timeline)
👉🏼Be yourself and have fun!

Happy Monday! 🤍
Last week was hard, I lost my grandma which was completely heartbreaking. 💔
It’s so IMPORTANT to listen to your body! This week, I’ll be taking it slow and not putting pressure on myself to get work done. 🫶🏼
One of my favorite thing about UGC is getting products that I LOVE🤍
I received all of these items to create content during my trip to Bali! I’m obsessed😍
When I love a brand, I don’t mind at all doing gifted collab, because I would buy their products myself!
#ugc
#ugccreator
So I decided to create an Instagram profile dedicated to UGC!

When you send your content to a brand and this is their answer:
"WOOOOOOOOW I LOVE IT! The content is so perfect 😍 Thank you very much for your beautiful work. I loved working with you!"
This is the best feeling; when the client is happy! ✨🫶
