I’m a new UGC creator & it’s a dream to work with clothing brands + jewelry brands. Watching tons of videos to learn how to take the right approach. Thanks for the value in this video🌱

This is super helpful content, Dara! I've been creating "UGC" for brands as a freelancer before it was a term. It started by writing organic blog articles and evolved into video content. I now run a small marketing agency doing social media strategy & copywriting for mission-driven brands and startups. I focus on food, family, sustainability and storytelling. Would love to work with more brands outside of my clients!

Hello! I’m a new UGC creator. I love creating content for the beauty, fashion, food, and fitness industry. This video was very helpful in getting a better look into the UGC industry. Thank you!

[Life_is_a_Garden]

Thank you so much! I just found out what UGC creation literally last night (I know, I know) and I'm excited to get started!!! My niches are health (on my weight loss and health journey), beauty, motherhood/kids, keeping a home (including cooking and cleaning hacks) and peaceful beautiful decor. All things I'm already passionate about! Great vid!

[ryanortiz]

this was beyond! such an educated, insightful head start into the UGC world. i've been making UGC on and off for a little under a year and am looking to make it a larger part of my lifestyle and income. i'm a brooklyn based artist and designer who loves to make fashion, beauty, and "mini vlog" style content. it's so fulfilling and creatively inspiring even when i'm just doing it for myself. i've worked with brands like Parade, Juno & CO, and Lancome and would love to opportunity to partner with you and your agency to really break into the space. thank you again for such a helpful guide!

[roxanariya]

Absolutely loved the insights you shared Dara! It's super helpful for beginners like me who are just diving into the ugc game! You're right, it's all about how you present yourself and your brand. For me, boost app social has been a great help in enhancing my profile and creating unique, engaging content.

Dara, I am brand new to UGC and am delighted to be in this space. Thank you so much for all the information! I have a long history of working in television ( long long) but this is an entirely new world with a huge learning curve for me. I am 59 so all that yummy 50+ stuff is my thing. Beauty is great and easy, interior design ( had my own HGTV show for a lot of years …) and anything household, arts and crafts ( my four year old granddaughter is a huge recipient of that one), anything outdoors, and travel of all kinds, are my thing. So are my dogs and my horse. My kids are 22, 33, & 39, so there is that to discuss. Being a grandmother is big, and I am super interested in finance for empty nest or any other kinds of women ( not as a financial advisor because I am not!). Anyway … you asked and there is it! Thanks again for all the great info!

I’ve been creating content for my temporary tattoo brand, for years, as well as simply for the creative pursuit. I’m a graphic designer, multi-media artist, and content creation has always been one of my main elements. I’m now diving into the UGC space headfirst.

Hi!! Thank you so much for your video. I am already a UGC creator I have my creators profile set up and have been doing it for 7 months now! I have started sharing my content to multiple platforms, and I am now looking into working with larger brands 🥰

My niches are: lifestyle, fashion, food and travel ☺️

[carlamccloud]

I am just starting out in UGC creation. I have been creating content online for 5 years in different companies with network marketing/ direct sales companies and now want to venture out to brands. I love beauty, apparel, literally anything since I'm starting. I will be using your tips and thank you so much for posting the video! If you ever have anything I would love to work with you! I will be getting my website up and running tomorrow thanks to you telling how!

[Ugcbydianas]

This is a great breakdown. UGC is not as easy as ppl think. The most challenging part is figuring out rates and contracts .

[RealLifePlug]

Im about 1 day into intentionally being a UGC creator. I have so much content of me opening, unboxing and reviewing things. Ive just been sitting on it and using it as filler content for when I dont feel like editing my longer videos super nichey videos. Thank you for this information. Now I know how to properly sort the beauty, hair, make up, food, and tech content.

[peterbonk]

Just getting started with my UCG journey! This is such a gem, thanks again for all the value you provide Dara!

[rachelwasser]

This was so helpful, thank you so much! After a year and a half of social media management for a handful of clients, I've realized the part I love the most is the content creation! I've only more recently understood the distinction of UGC and it seems like a win-win!! I would love to make content for conscious fashion and clean beauty lines 😀

[NicoleKelley_ProjectNic]

Thanks for the info. I’m just starting out … was initially looking for side hustle but at 50 yo, I am looking to work remotely while attempting to fund my love of travel. I really appreciate your videos and looking forward to making my first UGC for brands that promote healthy living and wellness, as well as travel related.

[rachelle_faith]

Full time ugc creator here! I just found your channel yesterday and I’m eating up all this valuable content! Thanks so much for all the tips 🤩
