I’m curious about how other UGC creators find clients,
especially when starting out. I’ve seen people recommend reaching out to small brands through email or social media, while others focus on improving their portfolio first.
For those who already have experience, what strategy worked best for you? Did you use cold outreach, social media, or another method?
What's your best tip for getting your first UGC client?.

The bar for Al automation is so low now it's kind of crazy. Browser stuff, file management, API calls, scraping data, scheduled tasks, monitoring, reports, all this used to take half a day of coding, now you just tell the Al what you want and it does it. And honestly the most useful ones are the boring ones, not the flashy stuff that looks cool.
I don't really know python by the way, just picked up enough to get by. Recently messed around with some scripts using workbuddy to pull horse racing stats and results for me. Just type what I want in the chat, and it spits out the whole thing in like 20 to 30 seconds. Like, I can ask it to pull the latest results, stats, and race details from something like the Ebor, including how Daiquiri Bay won it and what the result means for the Melbourne Cup, and it'll just give me a clean summary. Don't even get me started on if the data is always right, but the speed is actually insane. Would've had to pay someone to build this for me back in the day.
So yeah, what are you all actually using Al to automate right now? The kind you run every day and it actually saves you time, not the thing you tried once and never touched again. Any automation you set up that you now can't live without?

I'm so tired. Not like "I need a nap" tired. Like "| can't keep up with my own content calendar" tired.
Every day is the same. Wake up. Panic about what to post. Scramble to make something. Post it late. Feel guilty. Repeat.
I have ideas. Lots of them. I just don't have time to actually make them.
Script, film, edit, captions, export, post. One video takes hours. By the time I'm done, l'm too drained to think about the next one.
Did something different last week. I just used Framia to batch a week's worth of content in one go. Like sunday afternoon, maybe 2 hours, got like 5 videos ready. Some about my daily outfit. some just random creative stuff.
Are they my best work? Nope. But they're good enough. And I actually had time to breathe this week.
Haven't felt this sane in months tbh...

I recently switched to a 128gb ai max+ 395 Nimo laptop, mainly for running LLMs.It's actually taken over as my daily driver, replacing my old ThinkPad. Running local LLMs like Llama 70B and Qwen 72B/122B MoE is smooth, and it can easily handles modern games like cyberpunk 2077 and black myth wukong. This experience makes me feel that the advantages of unified memory are obvious in this ai era. Sure, you cant upgrade the ram, but if you spec it high enough upfront like 64gb or 128gb, it should easily hold up for the next 5 to 7 yrs. Apple has already gone all in, NVIDIA is pushing unified memory architectures with tx spark and dgx spark, and now amd is following suit with its ai max series.
Do you see this becoming the norm for everyday consumer laptops in the future?
