🇭🇳 Bananni | UGC 🇲🇽

What success looks like as a full time UGC creator lately: - not nervously checking my bank account’s total every day - waking up late because I do my own schedule - feeling fulfilled every day #ugc #ugccreator #ugccommunity

@POPEUGC Awesome post!!!! Fire tips, keep it! 🔥

All our deals the last year of full-time UGC pretty much came solely from inbounds. Now we for sure left money on the table by not doing outreach, but we were busy college students juggling multiple obligations. But here is what we did to attract all our deals TO US during that time: 1️⃣ We posted our content online, EVERYWHERE. X, TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn were our primary focus. From UGC examples, personal content, documenting the journey, you name it, we posted anything that could potentially get in front of clients organically. More importantly we niched down, positioning ourselves as college gen z male creators in a VERY unsaturated market. We thought rather than wasting time pitching to brands we had no idea needed marketing, instead we would put ourselves out there to be found by brands looking for creators just like us. And that's exactly what happened. 2️⃣ We Signed up for as many platforms as possible. Fiverr, Upwork, Twirl, Insense - I'm not even sure which one's are popular right now - but every single one. And I feel like this is something people neglect. It’s literally free to sign up and make a gig, why would you not?? Once again, we niched our gig titles down, so when people looked up the word, “college,” “male,” “Gen-Z,” “skits..” We were the first creators to pop up. For the longest time, we were "Fiverr's Choice" for college creators. Until we took a dumb deal that got us banned but that's another story And these platforms don't only land you one-off deals, but we've formed A LOT of good connections on these sites that turned into retainers deals. It's not always about that first deal, but the connections/trust you form on there. Which leads me into my last point.. 3⃣ It's not about what you know, or who you know. It's about who knows you. Forming connections is so important, especially for an online job. Whether you're connecting w/ creators, brand owners, peers, other agency owners, editors, etc. It doesn't matter - because as you begin to elevating yourself, you begin to attract opportunities through connections. Which is why it's so important to be transformational > transactional. Don't just engage or reach out to get something in return. But really try and form a connection with everyone you come across. Because you never know when that will pay off. I know there's some people out there who are doing UGC on the side right now, and are short on time. And if that's the case, outreach can feel extremely time consuming. But it is more than possible to make a killing solely from inbounds, if you position yourself correctly. Try these 3 things out and watch your inbounds sky rocket 📈

My toxic trait is thinking I can finish a weeks worth of work in one hyperfocused afternoon

@emyleecreates @HillerShylynne OMG why is this the BEST way to explain it 😆👏🏼🎯🎯🎯🎯

@HillerShylynne "You know those video ads you get on your social media feeds? I make those." Is what I say to literally everyone lol

How do you explain your job as a UGC creator to someone who has NO IDEA what that is… ⬇️

I did not know the potential in YouTube shorts!!! 🤯 y’all look at the analytics for an account I’m managing for one of my clients. I just started posting April 15th and I can’t believe the reach my content is getting 🤩🙏🏼 #ugc #UGCcreator

Some of the best life hacks if you’re a woman are educating yourself on how to make your own money, abstinence and waiting to have kids. These 3 choices have given me more freedom and joy than 90% of women I know

They really weren’t lying when they said once you find something in a career that you’re truly passionate about you’ll spend endless hours investing your time sweat and tears into it! That for me has been #ugc 🥹🫶🏼

@Shirleyugc_ Glad to know someone else is on the same boat as me!!!!! 😩❤️🙏🏼🛶

@Bananniz Following this too 🤣🤣

Also, what has been your go to when it comes to tracking expenses/invoices in the UGC space? #ugccommunity tax season is right around the corner 😩

When is the right time to turn your UGC business into an LLC? Any advice is appreciated 🤞🏼 #ugccommunity

@ugc_mikaela Let em know girl!!!!!! Start showing your analytics and the reach you have 🔥 hoping you get all the paid collabs your way! 💪🏼✨

How do you stop accepting gifted collabs and get paid collabs? Seems brands are quick to send gifted collabs however I now have enough experience and not enough time to be doing free content

@Shirleyugc_ 🤣 OMG Shirley!!! You are a trooper for sticking it through though I love it!! 💪🏼 It’s like you gotta pump yourself up in your head “they’re paying me for this..they’re paying me for this” 😆🔥

Had to film in front of an ATM at a busy grocery store, and I was SO NERVOUS Hyped myself up in the car forgot my card Grabbed the wrong one went back for the right one and the grocery store managers were having a meeting RIGHT in front of the ATM. I couldn’t believe it 😅
