my creator journey + steps to take

big brands will pay I went for making $0 to $60,000 span 8 months I literally did this because I started UGC and content creation Let's chat about it because this can literally be you too Let's bring it back to January of this year I was at $0 and my daughter was about 6 months old And I literally was spending every day researching ways to make money online I had come across UGC a few days prior And I just went all into it What did I do making mock videos and building my portfolio? And then once I made a bunch of mock videos, I literally pitched, pitched, pitched, okay? I used January as a research month and then February was my first month going all into it, pitching literally non-stop jobs on platforms literally there I literally told myself there wasn't So I made it work and February I made $8,000 which was my first full month doing UGC, which is literally insane I also had my highest paying brand deal that month for $500 And my highest paying UGC deal that month was literally for $2,200 with Aveeno Aveeno baby, I literally was shook I'm like, how is this my first month doing this? I'm already doing one video for over $2,000 I was kind of when I realized like these big brands will pay This is the plan that got me, like, it kind of all clicked And it's the product that has, like, it kind of all clicked And it makes it even better is that since literally day one, I decided to document my whole entire journey I was stuck at like 23,000 followers on TikTok for two years I was stuck at that number And ever since I started sharing my UGC journey and being transparent about income online, my numbers actually started to move That's when I realized like people want valuable information My followers started to grow And since I was also documenting my UGC journey, brands you look for UGC, accessible to them, so they were finding me as well March I had my first $10,000 month April I think I hit $16,000 May I hit $20,000 June I hit $30,000 dollars July I hit over $60,000 in revenue And my first month signed with management, I made about $50,000 dollars profit Literally all because one day I just decided I'm going to do this and there's no way I'm going to fail Every single time I accept a brand deal, I'm literally like, how is this my life? Literally the sky's the limit in this industry And I wish I'd have something that was my own I literally had no idea how to get there And all that it took was me stumbling upon one thing Literally in the span of 8 months, it's absolutely insane All of this to say I am literally just an ordinary stay-at-home mom But I can't stress it enough that this can literally be you too
