renting realistic framed family photos to real estate staging companies
home buyers get weirded out by completely empty picture frames in staged model homes, but using generic stock photo models looks cheap and fake.
a small creative business hires local theater actors to pose for realistic, unpolished family portraits at parks and dinner tables. they frame them in vintage wooden frames and rent them out in sets of 20 to luxury home staging firms. staging companies pay a monthly subscription to swap out photo sets so their multi-million dollar listings feel authentically lived in.

What I did to use notebooklm simple and make it into my own preference
Well most of the I use NotebookLM special when I'm studying or doing school works, and recently I started uploading all of my notes and asking it to make into a short reviewer or summarize it
It's not grand or something, but it's pretty useful for me
Instead of reading pages I ask to do
Show me
-key terms
-short explanation
-any possible quiz questionnaires
-quick summary
Well that's mostly it my favorite one is the quiz 1 since it helps me a lot since I can answer I.
Well how about you guys how do you use NotebookLM any tips or experiences

Making $10k/month from tiktok sounds impossible, but here’s how it works
There’s this whole trend that has blown up over the last couple years where brands pay normal users to make short form videos for them, is called UGC (user generated content)
They are not influencers with millions of followers, a lot of these creators start with tiny accounts, make content for apps or consumer brands, get paid per campaign or based on performance, and eventually turn it into pretty serious monthly income.
I recently watched a breakdown from Canyon and Drew, the founders of Sideshift. They've worked with and paid thousands of UGC creators and have also worked with a huge number of important brands (Apps, brands business, etc) creator campaigns, so they have a unique view of both sides of the market: what brands look for when hiring and what the creators making real money tend to do differently.
This was probably the clearest breakdown I've seen of how the progression works: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kk6jcv7l0Y&pp=0gcJCWoCo7VqN5tD&ra=m
so I tried to turn it into a roadmap:
1) Get good enough to be hired
When you’re starting, a few good videos are enough to show that you can talk naturally to camera and tell a story.
They specifically recommend having around three strong examples
2) Get your first real case studies
When you have zero results, being insanely picky about rates can slow you down a lot.
So for the first months accept also smal campaigns, short trial. These deals can be worth much more than the initial payout if it gives you an important case study you can show the next brand.
3) Take a lot of reps
In the first weeks the game becomes volume, you need to work with different brands, test formats, learn what performs and figure out what you're good at. The guys mention that someone chasing their first $10k month might initially be working across 10 campaigns at once. (Insame but doable)
Btw the point isn't to keep doing ten campaigns forever, but find the few where you're valuable.
4) Give brands a reason to keep paying you
Brands will keep paying you if your content is bringing results.
Views are nice, but if you're helping drive installs, signups or sales, the relationship becomes much more valuable. The creators who last are usually the ones who understand the product, bring new ideas and care about making the campaign work, not just delivering the videos.
5) Turn the best campaigns into long-term deals
Once you have proof behind you, you can start dropping weaker campaigns and focusing on the brands where you've already shown you can perform.
That's where better retainers, CPM deals, view bonuses and longer-term relationships start making a much bigger difference.
Canyon and Drew go much deeper into the whole process here, especially portfolios, CPM deals, campaign managers and what they see from the brand side so check the video.
The overall pattern is pretty simple: get good enough to be hired, build proof, take a lot of reps, learn how to make brands money and then turn the campaigns that work into longer term relationships.

i stop using gemini to summarize any of my work or PDF's, instead i started doing this trick
since i used like dump all my pdfs and ask gemini to summarize it all for me yes gemini did summarize it all but some of its parts i still have no idea what mattered to my research, i'll give an example to make it clearer
instead of saying: summarize these Pdf for me
try doing: find or compare any sources valuable enough. if they have something in common do they have similarities and do they agree or disagree
then sometimes i also follow it up with: the finding that you gave me which part does it directly related to?
and lastly: based the answers on the uploaded sources only, what research gap can be reasonably be identified in it
and after i'll just look to the things it'll give me instead of copy pasting i'll just try using the information gemini give me and use it to my words so i'll also learn and know thing about my research

How would i start without UGC clients and no experience
The first thing i would do is either make a video sample by using any products available at home, it fine even if its not a paid collaboration tho since the very goal i want is that the brands can see what my video looks like and since I have experience on making an unboxing videos i can use that experience to create something new to me then i'll create my own portfolio introduction, 3-4 video samples, content that i or you can make and then your contact informatio. After that i'll reach out to the brands that i've come across with and pitch them the videos i make like, Hey i've used or come across your product and im a UGC creator i would like to create a short video about your product and if you'd like i can send you some video samples

How do you guys find ugc clients?
I’m trying to get more UGC clients and I’m curious what actually works for other creators. Do you mainly use cold DMs, emails, or platforms like TikTok/Instagram?

What the difference between Search API and Web crawling?
I've notice that when trying to search about them it says that they're often treated as the same thing? I know that search API is like for the whole main thing to find relevant things and like the web crawling is like the main website i collected info from, correct me if im wrong
