I get it. genuinely. I'm going to say the empathetic part first, because it's true, and then the hard part, because you need both. I get that it's scary. I get that pitching feels like begging. I get that hitting send on a video of yourself talking to a phone feels insane the first hundred times. I get that you have a job, or school, or kids, or all three, and the energy left at the end of the day is basically nothing. I get that the fear of it not working is so heavy that not starting feels safer. I was there. it's all real and I won't pretend it isn't. now the hard part. none of that is going to change on its own. the fear doesn't leave before you start. the time doesn't appear. the confidence doesn't arrive in the mail one day so you can finally begin. every condition you're waiting for is a condition that only shows up AFTER you move, never before. so the choice isn't start when it feels manageable. the choice is start while it's still scary and hard and inconvenient, or don't. those are the only two real options. the third one you're hoping for, where it gets easier first and then you begin, doesn't exist. I'm not going to tell you it's okay to wait. it isn't, if you actually want this. the empathy is real. so is the deadline you're pretending you don't have. start scared. it's the only way anyone ever has.

heyooo fellow creators, davee here! I just downloaded tiktok again for the first time in 6 months and sawwww an unbeleivable amount of negativity in the creator space, a bunch of creators fearmongering over how AI will take over the industry, how its too saturated, a bunch of limiting beliefs that gen xers can't do it. . . blah blah blah. wanted to just come into here and say this past month in July, I was able to book over $20k in brand gigs and an $10k for next month already secured for august, whilst working half the day , surfing with my son pretty much daily . i landed a 5 figure brand partnership with carnival crusie line, where i pretty much get paid to do ugc on their crusie, and ON TOP of that, me and my family get a free cruise around Mexico. my son (16), just got back from a regional soccer tournament and this july, he hit $5k with ugc, and now aiming to do a $10k month before his senior year of HS! i say this because in my approach, there's really never been a better time to start as a creator, whether ur 52 lke me, or a teenager like my son reading this post right now. ive always had that approach since i started ugc 4 years ago, and i have that approach 4 years later, and stil serves me to do this day. heck, i had this attitude still even after losing my entire life savings, and going $50,000 in debt, after the 2008 real estate crash. and no it wasn't always sunshine and rainbows either, i've been decently "well-off", and made a good fortune, then lost it all BIG TIME, and got completely humbled by the 2008 real estate crash , losing all of my life savings + putting me into $50,000 in debt ( that i worked to repay for 10+ years) I was the "guy" who went from "having it all" to couldn't even being able to afford for my sons field trips and being that "father" i promised i never would become. the lowest of the low was when I literally was not able to sleep at nights because of how much guilt i felt that my wife was doing hundreds of job applications daily, just so we could keep us with the mortgage, and i was missing family events like my sons just because of how badly i needed the money.

You made it here, finally!! And the fact that you clicked to join this group instead of bookmarking it for "later" already separates you from 99% of people who will spend the next year doing the exact same thing they did last year and wondering why nothing changed. Warm welcome to the UGC World. I can see that you're really serious about your dream life. I'm Gloria. Two years ago I was crying in a Walmart parking lot wondering if life was just going to feel like this forever. Today I travel the world and get paid to film short videos on my phone for brands. It's called UGC. And it's the easiest skill you can learn in 2026. This community has 16 year olds making an extra $30,000 a year. Moms who quit their retail jobs. Retirees making an extra $150k/year. Nurses, veterans, athletes, actors, comedians, and people from all over the globe who come with an aligned mission to build a remote income from their phone. People who had zero experience with content or business before they started. All of them were exactly where you are right now. Here's your to-do list to get started 👇 Step 1: Introduce yourself in the comments below. Tell us your name, where you're from, and your goal with content and UGC. I read every single one! Step 2: Start going through the classroom here: https://www.skool.com/ugc-world/classroom The best time to start was yesterday. The second best time is right now with whatever you have 🤍 Welcome to the family. Gloria

Hi, I am doing another workshop and Q&A tonight! I will be answering questions and telling you MY STORY.. and how I went from zero UGC experience to $5k, $10k, $20k+ months and still going strong. Some of the advice is a little different than you hear from other creators so I wanted to give you the full picture of the actual UGC booking environment out there today. https://www.skool.com/live/tsgPJZWL7mC 5:30 PM PDT 8:30 PM EDT I was scared to be on camera. Didnt know how to edit a video. Had NEVER shot a video myself for an ad and STILL have a small social media presence. I think BIGGER. Multiple videos per order. Retainers. Guaranteed work with repeat clients. If you are NEW. This is for you. If you are looking to get to the $3k a month level. This is for you. Looking to scale from $10k to $20k+? This is for you. Can't wait to meet all of you. Come with your cameras on because I want to meet you!

Reminder that we start in a little over an hour from now!!! SOOOO excited to get this info out to all of you!. Ive been in Academy but really thought it was time to let all you in on who I am and what I do and HOW i do it all. Here is the info again... direct link.. https://www.skool.com/live/tsgPJZWL7mC Skool has a limit for how many live attendees can come + everyone will be getting 1:1 support from me, so comment "CLASS" and I'll RSVP your spot. add the date to your calendar here: https://www.skool.com/ugc-world/calendar See you there, Dave
