[chanteholliday]

This has to be one of the best, most simplified, value packed video I’ve ever seen on YouTube. No fluff just straight up value. Thank you very much.

This is the perfect video for anyone who keeps seeing all the trending UGC videos on Tik Tok and needs to hear straight facts with no overdramatic fluff!! I felt so overwhelmed with everyone saying how they're making thousands then not giving advice or tips with enough substance (at least imo) on how UGC content creation works, how you strategize it, etc. I could be too early into the UGC algorithm for Tik Tok but this video made me feel so much better about possibly starting. Thank you so much Denée!!

I was literally about to make a video on all the bad information that's on social media about UGC 😂. You're one of the only creators I've seen who brought the actual realistic facts. Great Vid.

[okassions]

Love this!, I just started my UGC journey i almost gave up because I can't get any brands to work with. Or agencies.

[TrvisXXIII]

You gave away a lot of the secrets in this video, thank you!! Saw a channel that wanted to bundle this information into a course smfh

[UseYourManners]

I personally like videos without faces.😂. Because they tend to get to the point faster or demonstrate items. Better, than wasting my time on excessive talk and posing. 😊

[taylorrizzolino]

I've consumed a decent amount of UGC "what it is / how to get started" content & this is by far, the most helpful, insightful video I have watched! Thank you for sharing this info & for sharing your POV!

[Liaemonae]

Thank you so much for giving us a understanding of what a UGC CREATOR is and explaining in detail what we need. I even took notes on how you made us stay for the whole video, I'm starting my journey as we speak!

[SingingGalSal]

sis...you're incredible. AMAZING public speaker too holy shit I stayed until the end and I NEVER do !

[MommyJackson]

Since following you on IG and now YouTube you have inspired and simplified the world of UGC. You run across so many people trying to show you to become a content creator but are giving the raw details of it all. I’m a mom of 3 kiddos. So watching your video allowed me to see how you schedule and set time to shoot, edit and send content to your clients. I’m very creative so this just makes me very excited to dive right in. Thank you for always being the authentic you.

[SheisOshun]

I completely agree with "NOT adding, what is UGC in your portfolio...Most know and if they don't they can find out!!!."

[inonnaharmollah]

Can you make a video on ugc contract??No one clearly talks about this!!

[FatLossuniversityy]

Both articulate and insightful! Had to leave previous channel due to her brutal voice!!!
Question: If UGC creator hasn't actually used the service - is that not frowned upon?

[rashauna]

This video is clutch! it was so helpful and you cant tell that you know what youre talking about. Thank you!

[itsangeangelina]

[dianeyasmineadjibi]

This video is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏾

[mariadomaoal]

Hey! thank you for this. There's a ridiculous amount of videos on Tiktok about Ugc Hyping people to just ' I MAKE MONEY WITHOUT SHOWING MY FACE' or I make money creating UGC without this and that and people are getting into it as if its easy and all. Good thing I came across your video and get LEGIT ADVICE .

[HannahSrehteal]

I have just started doing UGC and this was so helpful ❤
