@creatordamon So many people get in their own way! Analysis paralysis is real. You overthink, you research more, you wait for the perfect moment and that moment never comes. Take the step today. Not tomorrow. Right now. The research can happen while you're moving.

I rarely use a mic. I never use a ring light. My tripod is partially broken. I edit only on my phone. I don’t really research. I’m not in a community. And👏🏾this👏🏾works👏🏾for👏🏾me👏🏾 You have everything you need. And if not-use what you do have till then. Keep GOING!

@thegenxers @creativelymiche Fairly new to UGC myself but what I see isn't scams, it's people targeting new creators who don't know their worth yet. Low rates, hidden perpetual usage rights, raw footage they can repurpose forever. They count on you saying yes for the experience.

@creativelymiche I have seen a few of these and I’m fairly new to this business. Is this a consistent problem in this business?

I feel very priviledge saying that I've never been scammed during my 3 years doing UGC. Right now I've a potential client on my inbox that looks so legit but there's something in my gut telling me something it's not right... I will be sharing more if it comes down to be scam...

@nateflakecreate Thanks for your help man! I'm searching to see if there is already one going, if not, I'm gonna start my own! It can get lonely quick in this world 😂

@zachsummersugc Yeah just hang out, talk about projects, tips, etc..

If you're a UGC creator based in Utah, I created a group chat for us locals and we are going to start getting together once a month. First meetup is next week. Lmk if you're based in Utah and want in to the group chat to join us (it's free) 🤘🏻

No better feeling in UGC than getting a brief for a product you already use in real life. No forcing it. No faking enthusiasm. Just talking about something you genuinely love and getting paid for it. That's the dream. 🎯 #UGCcreator #UGC #ContentCreator #CreatorEconomy

Does anyone in the Phoenix area know of a monthly meetup for UGC creators or small business owners? Would love to connect with some like-minded people in the space!!! #Phoenix #UGCCreator #SmallBusiness #meetup

@nateflakecreate What do yall do at the actual meet up? Just kinda talk all things ugc or is there a structure to it?

@zachsummersugc I know a bunch in PHX that would love to do that! We just have a WhatsApp group and meetup once a month. Super low key!

Nothing worse then filming day for a job you should have never taken! The community here has been invaluable in helping me understand my worth, so this problem should be less frequent in the future!

@closermethod @frasercreator Takes me to a paid version. Am I missing something?

@zachsummersugc @frasercreator use my free ugc rate claculator! i build it with claude for this reason :) closermethod.com/rate

The pricing formula that changed my UGC business: Base rate + usage rights + exclusivity = your actual quote Most creators only charge base rate. That's it. But if a brand wants 6 months of paid ad usage? That's not included in your $400 video fee. That's a separate line item. Add usage rights to every single quote. Every. Single. One.

@ugcsuite @houseofjenUGC Android too?!

@zachsummersugc @houseofjenUGC Well be right back in your pocket soon, this time IOS 🤫🫣

I got early access to the beta for @ugcsuite and honestly… my brain is SO happy. 😂 As someone balancing brand deals, scripts, content ideas, invoices, finances, deadlines, client communication, and multiple platforms at once, I’ve been searching for something that actually feels intuitive for creators. I’ve tried other systems before and never stuck with them. This one immediately clicked. The layout is simple, clean, easy to navigate, and doesn’t make my already-overstimulated brain feel overwhelmed. Huge win. 👏 The feedback responsiveness has also been incredible already. You can tell they genuinely want to build something creators will actually use long term instead of overcomplicating it. And knowing there’s eventually going to be an app too? Even better. Very excited to watch this grow because I can already tell this is going to become a favorite tool for a LOT of creators. 🙌

@CtinaCreatesCo I feel this! Had two inbounds that sounded like they found/tracked me down personally and was a perfect fit and then nothing! Crickets on follow up email too. It's so weird!

I am truly confused when I get an email from a brand or agency and the email sounds like I basically got the job if I want it but then reply with all they ask for and then crickets…. And then I follow up and still…. crickets. I mean… I’m really reasonable to work with. I am approachable and don’t mind working at a reasonable rate. A lot of my work has been through agencies and sending raw files and I’ve asked for those videos and haven’t gotten them to add to my portfolio so I don’t have many updated videos. I’m so frustrated but trying to not let it get me down. There were three inbounds that I thought I was for sure going to get and they’re just in the wind like I never got them. I need to figure out where I went wrong. Was my response too quick? Did I ask for a higher rate and miss out?? Is my portfolio crap?? I’m just a girl, building her business, trying to learn ALL DAY, trying to implement, try new things etc bc I want to be that AMAZING creator…. I’m learning angles, sound quality, etc… I have to remember I am growing every day and I know that I’m not going to be every brands cup of tea…. Eventually I will get to that level that they want and then I’ll have the opportunity…. It’s just frustrating to get the emails that seem like you got it already when in reality you haven’t. #ugc #ugccreator #ugccommunity #ugccollabs
