@itsalyssaonline 😂 this is the reminder we all need. Execution over ideas every time.

Note to self: You don’t need MORE ideas, you need to actually film the ones you already have! 😅😂 #ugccreator #ugccommunity

@jaclynforero @Cohley_ That’s really frustrating 😕 hope they sort it out soon. Might be a good time to diversify platforms just in case..

I am not getting a good feeling about the Cohley platform right now. Brands are unresponsive, payments are extremely delayed. I'm being inundated with influencer deals that don't pay enough. I have contacted support multiple times. I'm worried. @Cohley_

@ugc_phoebe Manifesting!!

Praying my inbounds pick up!🙌🏼🤞🏼 #UGC #UGCCreator

@melissabecaroo Congrats Melissa!!

Closed my first brkaway collab 🎉🎉🎉 #ugc #ugccreator #ugccommunity

Today felt all over the place? That’s usually a sign your workflow needs help not your discipline👀 #UGC #ugccommunity #UGCVirtualAssistant

@GoldilocksOrbit For real! it feels productive in the moment but you end the day drained with nothing fully done.

@VA_KentEstanda i’ve been there. doing everything at once always feels like running on empty.

You ever try to do everything in one day… Film content edit pitch brands reply to emails apply to campaigns Then end the day feeling behind? Yeah… that’s overload, not laziness Most creators just need support not more pressure👀 #Ugc #ugccommunity #UGCVirtualAssistant

@evonbiondiUGC Oh no 😭 those days really test you. Hope everything settles down and Seattle ends up being the reset you deserve!

@VA_KentEstanda Thank you so much!!! It turned to be the day from hell when everything seems to breaking in my house! But thank you! And yes! The Seattle trio is going to be phenomenal

How’s your Friday looking ~ chill or full throttle? Friday is sometimes just another day in the life of a UGC creator... It's going to be a full weekend of shooting projects... Todays's TO-DO list: ✓ Shooting 2 projects for a repeat skincare brand ✓ Editing a 6 min long format project I shot yesterday ✓ Pitching more brands ✓ Answering inbound potential new gigs ✓ Having a zoom call with a potential new client ✓ Prepping for a long weekend of shooting and editing ✓ My never-ending pulling weeds and putting down mulch ✓ Prepping for next week flying to Seattle for a fabulous UGC event that I'm honored to speak at with other amazing UGC creators who are crushing it! #ugc #ugccreator #ugccommunity

@jennamediaco That’s such a game changer 😭 good lighting really makes everything easier and faster, love that for you!

Moved into a new apartment next week! 🌴🏙️ It may not seem important to some, but my natural lighting is a MASSIVE upgrade in this apartment! This is crucial to my day to day work, as I was fighting even in the summertime in my old unit. It was on the bottom floor with a building blocking it so it looked dark for a lot of the day. This is something to majorly consider if you are a full time or even part time creator. Not having to fight with the sun anymore is taking a massive weight off my shoulders, and I feel I can even take on more kitchen collaborations since my old kitchen was so dark, and now it is white-walled and naturally lit!

@TweetGeorgeTG 👀 this sounds big, definitely turning notifications on for this one!

I have a MAJOR UGC opportunity coming in the next 24 hours. If you’re a UGC creator/editor who’s looking to make that dream happen then turn on notifications so I don’t miss ya! #ugc #ugccreator #ugcopportunity

@closermethod Real!! Getting the reply is one thing, knowing how to close is a whole different skill.

You’ve watched every free UGC tutorial. You know how to find brands, write a pitch, build a portfolio. But when a brand actually replies and says “what’s your rate?” you freeze. That’s not a knowledge gap. That’s a closing gap. Pitching and closing are two completely different skills. Most UGC education teaches the first one. Almost nobody teaches the second.

@closermethod I already know this is about to be good 😭 those patterns show up every time once you start noticing them

I reviewed 50 UGC creator rate negotiations. The same 3 mistakes appear every time. 🧵

@Dianablazugc 😭 that’s wild. 30 videos for $300 is not it at all!!

Just received a proposal 30 videos for $300! ARE WE SERIOUS? 😭 #UGC #ugccommunity #ugccontentcreator #ugctips #ugccreator

@Dianablazugc Love this 😂 putting him on fr, male creators are definitely in demand right now!

Convinced my boyfriend to start UGC He’s building his portfolio now 🥹 MY SHAYLAAAA brands looking for male creators, his dms are open! #ugccommunity #ugcjobs #ugcopportunity #ugccreatorneeded #maleugc

@CarlyCreatesUGC That shift is crazy 😭 proof that one tweak in strategy can change everything fast.

I made $294 in the entire month of March. Yesterday, I signed $800 in contracts in a single day. It’s wild what happens when you actually stop overthinking and just fix your strategy. My brain is still processing this, but I’m so ready to get to work. ✍️✨

@ugcbygenika That’s the best part of it honestly. Having that kind of freedom while doing something creative is unmatched.

UGC has given me so much flexibility with my time, and I love working on my own terms. I get to enjoy family time, moments with my partner, and that's honestly why I love this so much. Being creative and just being me. 💌collaborations@ugcbygenika.com #ugc #ugccreator #femaleugc

@forceugc That’s a huge shift 😭 standing firm on your price and still getting the yes hits different!

A brand asked for my quote. I was confident and didn’t price myself lower because I wasn’t concerned if they walked away. This is the first time in my UGC journey. They agreed to the price!

@JoshHanmore3 Exactly. Saying no is part of building a business, not missing out.

You're allowed to say no to a brand. Bad briefs. Lowball offers. Rushed timelines with zero communication. Protecting your time and energy IS part of running a real business. #UGCcreator #freelancelife #ugccommunity

@gennyjonesugc That’s such a smart shift. More reps always beat overthinking, that’s where the real progress happens...

I shifted my workflow last week to allow for tighter iterations. Instead of overthinking each piece, I focused on getting more reps in with scripting and filming. It felt less heavy and more like I was actually building momentum. #ugc #ugccreator #ugccommunity
