Is UGC a joke I feel like I got punked and walked into an MLM

It seems like the only way to “make 10k this month” is to join someone’s affiliated link and then pay 1000$ in order to “gain knowledge and jobs” but like … I don’t have 1000$ or any dollar actually haha.

I have the skills to edit film and talk on camera as I’ve been doing socials but is this just like another MLM pyramid scheme get rich quick act or is anyone making actual money without paying first??

And please none of the “you have to pay to learn and earn” I get it to an extent. I’ve read through courses and I know most of what they are teaching so why would I pay..

Would I be successful doing UGC

F25 started social media about a month ago to help pay off our debts I gained 12k+ followers and have over 3 million views from the last 30 days.

I am confident speaking on camera and edit videos well. I am not earning money currently from socials since that takes time.

I’m wondering how much success I can have doing ugc since I already know the skills have a portfolio it’s just landing jobs…

I don’t want my socials to be all UGC. Is that going to be an issue getting work??

Are all pitching templates AI now

Is it even worth writing genuine pitching emails to brands when I’m competing with a sea of AI bots and humans using AI scripts… I’m just getting started and we just simply don’t use AI in our house but if it’s not worth being genuine and generic is the way to go should I write a standard script and fill in the blanks per brand ..?

Websites/apps or all outreach?

Is anyone making any genuine good money from apps and websites just uploading and waiting or applying for campaigns. I’m brand new and I’m wondering how to approach? Is outreach my best bet? Thanks in advance

I have so many questions pls help a mom out

I started social media to pay off our debt behind my husband’s back so he can stop working 2 1/2 jobs. I gained a quick following within a month of posting and have really good traction. I never really considered doing UGC because I assumed all of my money would come from brand deals in the future but now I’m looking more into UGC as a way to earn as I grow on social media is this a possibility for me to do UGC and transition into pay to brand deals only later I don’t know anything about UGC I have so many questions. Please tell me everything😭😭😭

How many “signature series” is too many

I currently post a reel 6-7 days a week. Currently I have a “series” every Thursday I post mini therapy advice and just this past week started on Mondays working towards finding myself in motherhood. I originally started my account to pay off all our debts and wanted to do a series on this but I’m wondering if 3 signature posts a week is too much?

Fb followers but not instagram?

I started posting about 3 weeks ago and have been doing pretty decent when it came to views and followers (steady) I made a post last night that went viral I went from 3 fb followers to 7.4k and 200 to 890 on instagram. My question is… why so many on fb and not instagram? I’m still trying to understand how it works ❤️

Series seemed to flop

I’m new to posting (15 days) but out the gate never got less than 4000 views on instagram + fb with videos hitting 9k. I heard starting a series was the best way to grow so I started what I thought was a cute idea in my niche. day 1: 259 views day 2: 69
What the heck… am I doing something wrong? I don’t understand why this is performing worse.

I started my account a week ago and have 110 followers on instagram and maybe 15 on fb and TikTok (not my main) and my reach on each video is over 300 per video. Is the algorithm loving me or am I doing something right or is this average for starting creators?

Can I say hell as a new creator?

Im wanting to start a new series and thinking of using hell and maybe even “bad bitch” I know this might sound silly. I’m just wondering as a new creator will my content get pushed out to as many people if I use those swear words in my hook ?

Brainstorm ideas for a new series

I’m a 25F SAHM creator and am looking to do a new series to boost my following here are some ideas I have and I was hoping you guys could help me come up with something.. (I know AI can but we are an AI free house)

I’m 5 months postpartum and have a 20 month old. I got really bad PPD and had to quit my job working in mental health. my content focuses on motherhood and mental health with real discussions about depression and my experiences

Reclaiming myself in motherhood
Is kind of the main topic of the series I want
Ideas:
Working out again
Meal planning?
Trying new hobbies
Reorganizing to make my life easier

I also don’t know what to call the series and what the main focus should be. I kind of wanna just do like a log style, but don’t know if that would be successful.

I don’t know the best way to approach doing this. I also want to be posting every day and almost have it be like a goal to get X amount of followers. I don’t know if you know Sarah sweeten but she did something like this and was really successful with gaining a following.

I really appreciate any advice that anyone has to offer ❤️❤️

What platform will give me the highest and quickest pay as a new creator

I started posting to Instagram and cross posting to Facebook six days ago. I have 91 followers and around avg 3000 - 6000 views per video so far. I know I just need to keep posting it and testing the waters, but I’m just wondering if I’m posting on the wrong apps
I’m a SAHM and am using that and my mental health background to my advantage. I’m confused with how earning money works, and what/where my best chances of earning are.

Edit: I guess I am also asking how / what kind of opportunity there is to make money. I.e. brand deals, selling templates , etc.

Help?! What content will help me grow with everyone’s short attention span

I F25 am at a loss and want to give up before I start lol I don’t know if someone’s willing to look at my page and tell me what I’m doing wrong. I’ve been posting for a little over a week. I took three reels down because I changed the direction of content. I was posting and they weren’t getting views at all. I don’t even know what kind of content to post right now to get a following because I like doing day in the life videos or a device videos, but no one is watching more than two seconds of me talking to even hear what I have to say. Im a SAHM who is doing social media behind my husband‘s back to pay off all of our debt.
I don’t know what approach to take and I’m willing to talk about anything. I also have a background working in mental health and have a lot of knowledge and wisdom to share if someone wants to look at my account and let me know what I’m doing wrong or right that would be much appreciated or just share any tips on how to get my word out there or find my groove. Also, any advice on how to get more followers I’m trying to comment on bigger influencers posts so that I can try to get more traffic on my account
I’m trying not to get discouraged but when you have an 80% skip rate on a talking video and that’s the content you want to push, it does kind of suck. My instagram is @mamagoose.ontheloose
