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

there's a version of this business where you film pretty videos and wait. I lived in that version for longer than I want to admit. Good content. Nice lighting. Thoughtful scripts. And a very slow income that never felt predictable because it was entirely dependent on brands finding me, liking what they saw, and deciding to reach out. I was a creator waiting to be discovered. Discovery is a terrible business model. Here's the shift that changed everything. I stopped asking "how do I make better content?" and started asking "what problem does this brand need solved and am I the clearest solution to it?" Different question. Completely different actions. Instead of filming product videos and hoping brands noticed, I started researching specific brands before I pitched them. What were their competitors doing? What content angles were they missing? What was their customer's most common objection and was any of their existing content addressing it? Then I led every pitch with that research. I didn't show up as a creator saying "I make great content, pick me." I showed up as a strategist saying "I noticed your competitor is using testimonial-style content and yours is mostly product-focused. I have a specific angle I think would convert better for your Q4 push. Want to see it?" The response rate changed immediately. What are you researching before you pitch a brand right now? Are you giving them a reason to respond, or just giving them a portfolio and asking them to figure out the fit themselves? Brands have limited time and unlimited creator options. Show up as the answer to a specific problem. The creators who get hired consistently are students of the brands they want to work with.

Hey yall! I have a few local inbounds in Houston and they are looking creators. Let me know if you would want your details shared with the brand!

When I first started doing UGC, I assumed the hardest part would be coming up with a hook that stops the scroll. Turns out, the real challenge is keeping track of the admin side when you have multiple brands, editors, and deadlines hitting all at once. For a long time, my workflow was a digital mess. I was juggling pitch templates in Notion, raw files in Google Drive, and edits in CapCut. It worked, but I felt like I spent more time managing tabs than actually creating content. I've been refining my setup lately to keep the momentum going: - Notion: Still using this for my pitch templates and outreach stats. - Google Drive: My go-to for asset delivery and storage. - CapCut: Still my main suite for fast edits. - Floment: I added this to my stack to manage daily tasks and project progress. It’s a dedicated workspace for the execution side of things, helping me stay focused on building my pipeline rather than just taking notes. It has been a solid way to keep my creative energy from getting drained by all the admin work. What is the one tool in your stack you absolutely cannot live without when you are managing your active brand deals?
