There’s been sooo many new people joining the community lately and I love seeing it 🥹 One thing I’ll always say: having a personal brand is KEY if you want to become a successful creator. Brands don’t just look at your portfolio anymore they also look at you, your content, your vibe, your presence online, etc. A little real-life example:My husband literally just started posting creator content on TT. We uploaded his portfolio in his TT bio, posted his FIRST video yesterday… and he already got an inbound from a huge running shoe brand for a paid collab 😭 That’s the power of putting yourself out there! So let’s support each other 🫶 Drop your: - TikTok - Instagram - X / Twitter - YouTube (if you have one) Go follow other creators, hype each other up, leave comments, connect, make friends, grow together ❤️

Hey guys 👋 Anyone work with LucyLights? Would love to hear your experience!

I recently received an email from USA haircare company Veganic Hair asking me to make two videos for Gifted Collab which will be run as paid ads without any compensation and then if the ads will perform well then I might get a retainer and some payment. What pisses me off as a UGC creator is a brand's audacity to ask for a video to run as a paid ad without any compensation. It's disrespectful as I put in my time, and effort and pay taxes. Paid ads generate direct revenue for the brand and it’s only fair that creators are compensated for contributing to that success. I was asking super low as a test video package for 80 euros per two videos and the brand didn’t agree. I don’t believe that such a brand doesn’t have any marketing budget. I don’t think 80 euros is big money in USA. I said to the brand that I’d be happy to create one video as part of a gifted collaboration, but only for organic use on my personal social media profile, where I would tag the brand or I can send a watermarked video for review. If the brand would like to use my content for paid ads, I expect to negotiate usage rights and proper compensation. What do you think about it? Would you accept to make two paid ad videos for a brand without any compensation? Have you had a similar experience?

Has anyone signed up for Cohley and had any success? I haven't finished signing up yet and I just find it super sketch that they ask for your payment info to "verify you're a real person". 😕

I'm looking to take on 7 people for 1-1 mentorship who want to learn how to turn their UGC skills into a profitable business within 90 days. Whether you're new to UGC or have some experience, it doesn't matter. I'm going to take you through a framework that turns your UGC skills into a money-making business. And I'll back it by a guarantee: if you don't achieve success, I'll work with you FOR FREE until you do! That's a promise of free mentorship. If you want to know more and see if you're suited, reply ‘UGC’ and I'll send over the details. This is for serious people only. (I already have 30 applications but I’ll give first dibs to people in this community so be fast if you want one of those 7 spots!)
