steps to influencing/ugc!

I made $44,000 as a content creator last month. So here's exactly what you're gonna do for it. I'm gonna do it for yourself. Think it's a silly way to make money. You post your silly videos, you get paid. But let me just tell you that is not all that goes into it. Like, once you feel like you're actually pretty comfortable and you know what you're getting yourself into, that's when you're gonna go onto the most important thing of it all, which is building your portfolio. So, like, there's so many people that DM me or that I know that are trying to get into the industry. Like, I really wanna do this and I'm like, well, do you have a portfolio? And the answer is no. That is exactly where the brands are going to see what you're capable of. And if they wanna make content for them. This is why it's especially important for UGC creators. Most likely you don't have a big following on social media. Or if you want to get into the more influencer side of things, when you're first starting out, you also don't have a following. So don't get discouraged because you can still make great money posting without a great following. You just have to have your portfolio. So you're gonna go onto Canva. You're gonna start making a Canva website. Pick at least three niches to start. At least three pieces of content for each niche in your portfolio. They want to make sure there's not less than that because brands don't want to hire beginner creators. They want to hire creators that are confident in and that they already know what about on you. If you click on your portfolio and you only have one video per niche, they're gonna get the hint that you just started out and you do not want that. And of course, like once you have that portfolio built, that's when you can start pitching and really putting yourself out there. At first, it's going to be a lot of gifted campaigns, sending you product in exchange for a post and it is very important that you take those opportunities. Just exposure. This is just going to build your exposure in the industry. Like there's so much terminology that goes on behind the scenes. You gotta dive in somehow. Don't wait for the perfect time. Once you've worked with a few brands on a gifted basis, that's when you can start setting your rates and really start getting your content paid for. Your first paid campaign was for like $200. And now I just got a deal that's worth $6,000. It's a very slow burn kind of thing. Don't be discouraged by other people's journey. Only seeing the highlights. You're only seeing the positive. Also platforms that you can get on such as like, Inspire, incense, different direct brands. Industry of ever me.
