LII took a UGC course in February, and I’ve been really trying to dive in head first since then! I’ve had a little bit of luck, and a lot of learning experiences so far!
✨ Here are a few things I’ve noticed:
1- it’s absolutely not a “get rich quick” thing like some people make it seem!
I started doing it for a couple reasons.
One… Obviously to make some money.
Two..because I really genuinely have enjoyed making content.
I feel like a lot of the people that were advertising courses just kept telling me how people are making over $10k a month with this, and everyone can do it! Which, sure. But I kind of expected things to go quicker than they are currently because of those unrealistic expectations!
2- The apps can be SUPER overwhelming… and seemingly oversaturated!
I was applying like crazy at first (still am) and only getting a response for every 200 or so applications. It’s so time consuming. Once I picked one or two platforms I liked, it’s been less overwhelming to focus my energy and I actually have landed a few deals doing that!
#3 - I feel like I don’t fit in with the UGC community here on instagram 🫣. Maybe it’s just the side of instagram I’ve ended up on, but all of the videos I come across are like… “5 UGC creators I love and respect because they also love the Lord”. I grew up Mormon, but no longer identify with religion at the moment, so I have a hard time relating to these girls in that way! Not that any of them have made me feel different or implied that I don’t matter in the space, but it’s hard when you feel like you don’t fit in with something everyone seems to have in common!
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with building a community of people because you have similar beliefs.. Maybe I just haven’t found my crowd yet… but I would love to! (If that’s you, tap in! 😉)
It’s been a really fun journey so far. If you want to follow along… I’d love to have you! ❤️
