What Actually Got Me UGC Clients (Not Just More Content)
More posting ≠ more clients. What actually worked for me:
Niche down. “UGC for skincare brands” beats “UGC creator.”
Curate your portfolio. 4-6 strong clips, organized by type, beats a messy folder of everything.
Have a real rate card. Price per deliverable (raw vs. edited, +usage rights, +rush) — not vibes.
Warm up before pitching. Engage with a brand for a week before you DM. It lands better than cold outreach.
Follow up once. Most of my replies came from a single follow-up 4-5 days later, not the first message.
