@ugcwithicy Where are you?

@StephsSays Yayy perfect!!

Any creators in LA/SoCal ever want to collaborate and help each other out with filming? Since I don't live in the Midwest anymore, I can't easily shoot with my family or friends lol #ugc #Ugccommunity #ugccreators

Safe Zone Diaries- I learned the hard way that the CapCut guides are not clear enough for Reels, but the Meta Design App in Canva is! Stay safe out there.

@itsalyssaonline I don’t think it’s worth it unless you weed through for low lift projects. It was a platform I joined early on and some of the jobs had crazy deliverable requests for like $150.

Why is it so difficult to get approved for Twirl and is it even worth it?? Let me know your thoughts 😅 #ugc #ugccommunity #ugccreator

@findsbycat Great reminder, thank you!

The easiest way to see if your outreach/posting/etc is successful is to see how many views your portfolio gets everyday. If the number goes up, you must be doing something right and it’ll all catch up eventually

@trendify_agency Cat scratcher. Perfect height.

ugc creators 👀 what’s the weirdest object you’ve ever used as a tripod? stack of books water bottle shoe box cereal box window ledge be honest ↓ #ugc

What you’d hear today on my broll: - My ancient cat who eats like he’s going to the chair - Landscapers removing a palm tree from my backyard with a power saw - An unending flow of LA air traffic - My teen who has a “dad sneeze” What’s happening in your world? 🤡

When you take everything with you to shoot a beach picnic for a snack client EXCEPT something to drink 🐪 Delivering lines after that was painful.

@bookyello I’m not a photographer, but I’m in the South Bay! Are you? Always looking to connect with other local UGC creators.

Graphic designers can make a portfolio for UGC creators from anywhere in the world, so I get why the outreach volume is so high 🙃 What I really need is a local LA photographer in the Westside/South Bay experienced in headshots for glasses wearers. Inbound me! 🤗 #socalugc

Yes! Happened to me last year with a payment from Vidsy. The issue was with Wise and it took a couple months to work it out. It was VERY challenging to get help from Wise - I was in what felt like an endless loop with different reps and no one could do anything. Vidsy support was great, actually. Good luck!

has anybody else had any issues with verifying your account on @Wise ? I was supposed to receive two different payments from @vidsyhq and they were both cancelled for some reason. Customer service was not much help, super frustrating #ugc #UGCcreator #ugccommunity

So overwhelming! See screen recordings here. Bummer you have to hide photos individually and you can’t hide whole albums. Open album, hit Select, then Select All, hit the 3 dots and Hide. This helps me to know which broll shots I actually want to save and not clutter my camera roll. To unhide, scroll under Collections > Utilities > Hidden and select what you want to unhide. Good news is the album names are still there even when you hide clips inside, so you can continue to add to them.

@StephsSays @josie_ugc_ What a great idea. I’m so overwhelmed with my b roll. How do you keep things hidden?

Creators… how are you organising all your B-roll/lifestyle content? 👀 I’m super organised with work/briefs, but curious how everyone stores and sorts everyday footage for reusing across socials + future brand content. Do you just film constantly? 😂 #ugc #ugccommunity

@MariyahGenX_UGC Thank you! No, it’s a skincare brand.

@StephsSays It’s under the account tab. See pic. Is this for Ocuvite?

Has anyone had a payment issue with a brand on Insense? Was the support team any help? I have a brand refusing to pay for content, saying it all needs to be reshot with a whole new approach & concept … but it was raw b-rolls based on a list *they* sent? #ugccommunity #ugchelp

I’m Type A, but I want to be Type Zzzzz. Here’s how I approached creative for a white noise machine with two different hooks. Both are built around a specific woman: in a sleep-deficit, tracks everything, still waking up exhausted. Hook 1 meets her in the problem - she’s tossing in bed, dragging through her morning, and sad sleep scores tell the story. Hook 2 meets her in the win where she’s waking up well-rested, with one great score on screen. Movement, sounds, and data overlays keep things moving and both open on the person, not the product. Concept, script, performance, and edits are all mine and are inspired by my own sleep struggles. I love brainstorming creative hooks for clients to test!
