Angela Lanaris | UGC Creator, Actor + Model

Hi! I’m Angela 🙈 I have some new friends on here so I thought I would reintroduce myself 🥰 1. I’m a full time actor, model + UGC content creator based in NYC from Hawaii so if you’re any of these things—let’s be friends! 2. I quit my 9-5 back in June to go full force in all my endeavors and my life has TRANSFORMED since. I just opened up an LLC for Angela Lanaris 💖 3. I am super spiritual and into manifestation, meditation, journaling and prayer. 4. I LOVE thrifting and fashion! I am a Nuuly ambassador and love experimenting with color. 5. I have a podcast called Soul Chats With Ang I started as a hobby to cure my seasonal depression lol. 6. I love making content to inspire and empower WOMEN. It’s my favorite! 7. I worked at an agency as a in house UGC creator for almost 3 years. I learned SO much about how to concept, edit, produce, script and create high-performing ads from start to finish. 8. I travel often and work for myself as a UGC creator because of that undying love of adventure. I love doing my job ANYWHERE. 9. I went to school for acting and often feel really behind in this area of my life. The industry has crushed me in more ways than one but I am not giving up anytime soon. 10. I love to meet new people and make new friends on social media. Some of my BEST friends I made through apps! It’s the best place to connect 🥰 #UGCcreator #ugccommunity #ugccreators #ugc #ugcexample

So grateful for this season of life 🙏🏼🎬✨ Everything starts from WITHIN. If you want your business and opportunities to pop off, feel good NOW without them in your life, and you will become a MAGNET to them. Anything is possible ya’ll. Dream big and keep going 💓 #ugc #UGCConcept #ugccreator #ugccommunity

#ugcexample for Eight Sleep 💤 The examples on the brief were super organic, talking to cam videos with little to no editing and honestly I’m seeing this A LOT more of this style of content in my briefs these days. Anyone else?! It seems like brands are really craving the “FaceTime with a friend” energy.

#ugcexample for the Flo App💓 They found me on TikTok from my endless content pieces about women’s health + the trenches of the luteal phase. I’m so grateful to attract brands that are aligned with my message as a creator. It’s truly a gift I never take for granted and it really speaks volumes to the power of a personal brand! I feel like I get paid everyday to exist as myself and it feels like a DREAM. #ugc #ugccommunity #ugccreator #UGCconcept

My first ever #ugcexample video for MUDWTR that I filmed at my old agency Donut Studios in 2022 ⭐️ This was a YouTube style concept and it was so funny because EVERYONE and their mother ended up coming across this ad 🤣 It also performed really well, too! Disclaimer: this concept was collaborative and wasn’t scripted or edited by me! So interesting to see how much my delivery has changed over the years! #ugc #UGCConcept #ugccommunity #ugccreator

I make an entire living from content creation off of inbounds alone. I have yet to pitch ONCE since I quit my 9-5. Here’s why👇 ✅I show up CONSISTENTLY across all platforms ever. single. day (my first task every morning on my asana board is post on IG, TikTok, YT + X) ✅I prioritize showing up as MYSELF, not trying to fight the algorithm to go viral. Brands could care less about a video that has millions of views if it doesn’t showcase WHO YOU ARE. I’ve gotten deals from videos with less than 3k views. ✅I have 3-5 content pillars I focus on DAILY so brands know what I am about ✅I am a prompt communicator, follow briefs, show up ready to work and over deliver—so brands always come back for more ✅I update my portfolio (specifically for UGC) WEEKLY! Sharing this to inspire you that making money from content creation IS possible—if you SHOW UP and show up AUTHENTICALLY. #ugc #ugccommunity #ugccreator #ugcexample

#ugcexample for Ondo socks, a client I've worked for through an agency 4 times now. When they first reached out a year ago to work with me, the rate was $300 for a single UGC video. Now that they are familiar with my work, communication style, ability to read through briefs + take direction, I was able to charge $750. Sometimes accepting low rates in the beginning to maintain solid connections is key to leveling up a year from now 💕 If you're a brand or agency in need of a creator, let's connect 👇 💌angelalanaris@gmail.com #ugc #ugccommunity #ugccreator

They aren’t paying your bills so why should you care 💅 #ugc #ugccommunity #ugccreator

I’m so grateful for UGC because it supports my lifestyle as an ACTOR! I love my set days so much and I am so grateful for this creative, fun life 🎬✨💰💓 #ugc #ugccreator #ContentCreatorLife #nycactor #actorslife

How do I spam these kind of inbounds 😭

This brand deal scouted me from a personal branding video I made cooking in my kitchen that got only 3k views on Instagram. Post the content. You never know who’s watching. #ugcexample #ugc #ugccommunity #ugccreator

Content creators—do you prefer editing on your iPhone or computer?! Sometimes I feel like I am much faster on my phone but it hurts my neck tbh 🤣

#ugcexample for my retainer client ✨ They always ask for three separate hooks that I can stitch together, no closed captions and they always provide a loose script so shooting + editing is typically low lift and I make my rent in a day! #ugccommunity #UGCcreator #ugc

@xin_create Yes! We had our own office space where we would shoot these kinds of concepts 💓🎬🙈

@anglanaris Ooo this came out so good! Was this at a studio?!

#ugcexample for a podcast style ad 🎙️ These were my favorite to film at my old job because I LOVE podcasting! Ads like this also require you to act a little more which I enjoy so much🙏🏼 If you’re a brand or agency let’s connect👇 💌 angelalanaris@gmail.com #ugc #UGCcreator #ugccommunity
