Marni Creates | Gen X UGC + Over 50 Creator

I updated my UGC portfolio intro video! Brands always ask me to: “Talk like you’re speaking to a friend.” So this version leans into that — natural delivery, real filming spaces, layered b-roll, and clips from my top niches. #ugccommunity #ugccreator #ugcforbrands

@TiffanyDgenxugc Omg I do...

@MarniCreates Now you have to make some snl skit version to make fun of this lol

😣Brand shenanigans: 👉Example brief: 250-words for a leg lotion 😳Actual brief: 461 words for a VAGINAL cream 🫣Shipped me an anatomical model That is not the same scope! THIS is why creators ask so many questions before quoting. What to do? #ugc #ugccommunity #ugccreators

@NataliedoesUGC 🍑

@MarniCreates What in the world…

@closermethod This was whitelisting as well. No way am I going to say my 🍑 is dry,thin and tearing? "Like sandpaper." The script is so bad. 😫

more than scope creep it’s a COMPLETELY different product category. script length changed, subject matter changed, and they added a prop demo. any one of those is a rebrief. what i’d send: “happy to do it. this is a new brief, so here’s the revised quote. the original scope stands at the original rate if you’d rather keep that one.” two options, no argument. they pick, you get paid either way.

@TiffanyDgenxugc When they said they sent me an anatomical model...I thought it was skin. No CLUE it was this. 🍑

@MarniCreates I feel attacked by them for you lol.. just wild. Honestly you think I’m just gonna do it bc you sent it?! Noooooppppeeee

@KelliDougal My teenage son is traumatized 😂

@MarniCreates Girl WHAT?! I can’t imagine your surprise when you opened that package

@TiffanyDgenxugc Total bait and switch. Contract signed. Products shipped and this is the brief? 🫣

@MarniCreates I needed this good laugh to remind I’m not the only getting crazy things lol…

@TiffanyDgenxugc It's INSANE

@thekjsocials @Hollyland_Tech It's a great trick! I did it a few days ago...I think it was @bomar_valerie

One product...two hooks. I love my @Hollyland_Tech mic. It's so small I can hide it under my hair and in my bra (I think I got that idea from @MarniCreates 😂). I also forgot that I had one of the mics on my shirt one time and washed it...thank god I had a back up. #genxugc #ugc

Skincare UGC reminder: show the texture. Close-ups, application, skin finish, results. Don’t just talk through the proof. Show it. #SkincareUGC #UGCCreator #BeautyUGC #ugccommunity

@doraanyanwu Thank you!!!

@MarniCreates Fingers, toes, everything crossed for you!! Praying you get this 🫶

In the middle of packing for an overseas move and got an inbound from 2 big brands. Great budget. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞😳😊 So exciting! #ugc #ugccreator #ugccommunity

Omg....🤞🤞🤞🫣 dream collab so close YOU GUYS! #ugccommunity

This body oil brand just hired me for the 6th time for aesthetic b-roll. No talking head. Just clean light, texture, movement, skin, product shots... That’s what I love about UGC — there’s so much variety in the work. #UGCCreator #BeautyUGC #UGCForBrands

@TeeSmithforGood Of course they did!! Sometimes you have to make the best of it 😂

@MarniCreates and I’ll bet you money they were like “say it like you’re talking to a friend” - i’m always like yeah I don’t say big words like that to my friends- I pull up my phone and read the info! 😂

Paid talking head UGC sounds natural when YOU are. Behind the scenes, it’s teleprompter, pacing, 10+ takes, and making phrases like “Subendocardial Viability Ratio” sound human. As a 50+ creator, this is the brand work I love. #TalkingHeadUGC #UGCCreatorOver50 #WellnessUGC

@doraanyanwu THANK you...been cutting it myself from YouTube vids 😂😂

@MarniCreates Your hair is so cool Marni!!!!

@TeeSmithforGood 😂😂 it really was

@MarniCreates Oof that one is a mouthful! Good on ya!

@beccacreatesugc I've only tried one so I don't know how good it is. But it works for me! I use Blink by Vozo.

@MarniCreates What teleprompter do you like to use? I haven’t found one I love yet!

@doraanyanwu Thank you! It was a 100% redo that I hated spending time on but so happy I did.

@MarniCreates Just peeked it and I completely understand them. It’s so clean and skimmable!

Updated my UGC portfolio again and I’m honestly SHOCKED at the difference it made 😳 I’m getting replies like this from brands constantly now, converting gifted offers into paid work, closing at my rates, and the compliments!! 😀 ✨ #UGCCreator #UGCPortfolio #UGCForBrands
