Hey ya´ll! I spend my days (and nights) on calls with CEOs and CMOs at six and seven-figure companies (some of them you will see in this post), and over the last few months, what they've been telling me behind closed doors has completely changed how I see this industry. I have been running the adjacent agency to this community (UGC World Agency) for quite a while now. Considering the size of this community I have been placing only a TINY number of our closest and most trusted circle of creators into brand campaigns, but finally… We are expanding!! Here´s the deal though, the market is changing and so I want you to read the next lines of this post very carefully. I have founded this community with Gloria fairly recently and to see it help so many creators is a blessing, so I feel obligated to give you this message… This comes straight from the horses mouth (the brands I talk to): Most creators are still playing a game that's actively dying. They're charging $200-$500 per polished video, pitching brands on Instagram, and waiting for replies that never come. Meanwhile, brands are hiring in-house teams overseas, reducing creators to $50 talent-only roles, and some are literally testing AI avatars to replace you entirely. But here's what almost nobody knows yet: AI, SaaS, and app companies with BILLIONS in valuation are throwing money at creators who understand this emerging model of UGC. For isntance, we're working with Perplexity AI right now, a company valued at $18Billion … scratch that, just looked it up > $20Billion. They offered our creators $1,500/month base salary plus CPM bonuses. Cluely AI pays college students $20K/month to post simple TikToks. We're literally training some of their interns right now, and if you're aware of this space, you know everybody is trying to get into Cluely. These companies don't want your polished $500 videos. They want volume. They want authentic yapping-style content at scale. They know 25 out of 30 videos might tank, but if 5 go viral and hit 500K-1M views, the entire campaign is profitable.
