3 small UGC tips that made creating content easier for me

Just wanted to share a few small things that have helped me when making UGC. Nothing too serious, just little things I’ve found useful :)

  1. Keep a note for video ideas.

Whenever I think of a random hook, video idea, or way to show a product, I write it down. Even if it seems like a silly idea at first because you never know when a silly idea might turn into something that changes your life!

There are so many times when I sit down to film and suddenly have absolutely no idea what to make. Having a list to look through makes it so much easier.

  1. Watch your video without sound.

I started doing this recently and it actually helps. You can notice things you might miss when you’re only paying attention to the audio, like awkward cuts and weird movements, or clips that feel too long.

It’s also a good way to see if the video is still interesting even without the talking!

  1. Don’t try to make every video perfect.

This one is probably the hardest for me. 😭 I used to redo a clip so many times because I didn’t like how it sounded.

But remember, UGC is supposed to feel natural. you don’t need to sound like you’re reading a script. Sometimes the take where you’re just talking normally ends up being the best one.

These are really simple things, but they’ve made filming feel a lot easier for me.

QUESTION!!

What’s one small thing that made UGC easier for you? 👀

Dirt doesn’t stick to scars

Dirt does not stick to scars because scar tissue lacks pores, sweat glands, and oil glands. Without sweat or natural oils on the surface to trap dust and grime, the area stays dry and particles simply slide off. It makes for a great temporary tattoo

Try to study on used papers

Use the ugliest piece of paper you can find: the back of an old worksheet, scratch paper, a paper bag, or anything else you would normally throw away. The less precious the paper feels, the better. (No offense to papers)

Then, without looking at your notes, write down everything you can remember about the topic. Don’t worry about whether it is complete, well-organized, or even entirely correct. The usual way. Put down definitions, formulas, examples, names, keywords, connections between ideas, and whatever of the information remains your brain happens to retrieve. If you need to draw arrows or make diagrams that only make sense to you, you do that too. The paper itself is a mess, so do anything regardless if it looks like a mess.

Why? As it tests the limits of your memory. Once you’ve written down everything you can, go back to your actual notes and compare them with what you produced.

You can repeat the process on a fresh sheet until you can reconstruct the important ideas with fewer mistakes. There is also a psychological advantage to using paper you consider disposable: you are less likely to waste time trying to make your writing organized or pleasing. Since the page is not meant to become a permanent study resource, you can treat it as a space for thinking rather than note-taking.

The point is you’re using these scraps only to test what you can recall. So, never forget to maximize your resources.

what actually helped me land my first few UGC clients

hey guys! just wanted to share something that helped me a bit with finding UGC clients :)

i used to think i needed to have a super nice portfolio first before reaching out to brands, so i kept editing and changing it instead of actually messaging people (first mistake) 😭

eventually i just started making a few simple sample videos and reaching out to brands i genuinely liked. i also tried to make my messages more personal instead of sending the same thing to everyone.

not every brand replied, obviously, but i realized that's pretty normal. the more i reached out, the less nervous i felt about it! :)

I'm still figuring things out and honestly, i think consistency matters more than having everything perfect from the start, and of course it's okay to make mistakes!

now tell me, what's the biggest mistake you made when you were trying to land your first UGC client? i feel like we could all learn from each other's experiences 😭
