And while I’m incredibly proud of that, I want to talk about what actually helped me get there ...because it definitely wasn’t me sitting quietly and hoping people magically found my community. First, HUGE shoutout to @Jennifer Turner and her VIP training. Meeting weekly with her VIP group has been incredibly valuable, and so much of what I learned about growing and positioning my community came from her. But then I had to actually RUN with it. I got uncomfortable. I signed up for a speaking engagements. I started putting myself in front of people every single week through trainings, workshops, lives, TikTok, stories, and conversations. Was I nervous sometimes? Absolutely. But I kept showing up. That’s the part people sometimes miss. You can build an amazing community and offer incredible value… …but people still have to KNOW IT EXISTS. Learn from people doing it well, then MOVE. Post about it. Talk about it. Teach. Go live. Pitch yourself. You don’t have to be the loudest person in the room. But you do have to be willing to be seen. ❤️

𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙐𝙂𝘾. 👀 One thing beginners tend to overthink with **lifestyle videos** is thinking their life has to look super aesthetic or perfectly put together. It really doesn’t. Lifestyle UGC is simply showing how a product naturally fits into something you were already doing. Think: ☕ Coffee creamer while making your morning coffee 🧴 Skincare while getting ready 🎧 Headphones while working 💧 Water bottle on your walk 👜 Tote bag while running errands The product doesn’t need a dramatic introduction. You’re not hosting QVC. 😂 Let it show up naturally in the moment. That’s what makes lifestyle content work so well. It helps the viewer picture that product fitting into **their everyday life**, too. Here’s a great example to watch with that in mind: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTUXTSt3a/ And if your portfolio is missing a lifestyle example, this week inside **UGC Made Simple** we’re challenging everyone to create one for their portfolio.

Don’t build the portfolio today. Build one portfolio video. Here’s the process: -Pick one product you already own and actually use. -Open ChatGPT and ask it to help you write a short UGC script for that product. -Then read the script and rewrite it in your own words. This part matters. If you would never say “This product has completely transformed my routine,” please do not let ChatGPT turn you into a late-night infomercial. 😂 Make it sound like YOU. Once you like the script, ask ChatGPT: “Give me a B-roll shot list that matches this script.” Now you know exactly what short clips to film. Film your talking clips. Film your B-roll. Put it together & DONE! Then Repeat until your videos are done. You just created an actual UGC portfolio example video instead of spending another day trying to figure out where to start. If you want more beginner UGC help that breaks the process down like this, that’s exactly what we do inside UGC Made Simple

There are a LOT of little things that add up every week. And a whole bunch of them can be automated. I've been using Skooly inside my communities, and it has easily saved me **hours every single week.** And here's something I get asked ALL the time: 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁. 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 $𝟵/𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗛𝗼𝗯𝗯𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗱𝗱 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹. That's a big deal, especially if you're newer and don't want to upgrade your Skool plan just to start automating your community. For me, automation isn't about being LESS involved. It's about letting the repetitive stuff happen in the background so I have MORE time to create, coach, connect and actually grow my communities.
