Blog post 10

 It has been WAY too long since my last blog post! But UGC has been GREAT! I have been having a really good amount of UGC work. In November I had LOTS of videos and lets just say over the whole month, I made 4 digits! December have been not as busy so far but I am still getting a really great amount of work. Recently I have been getting back into my UGC game and it has been really fun!    I have discovered that there are also a lot of work in the mobile app industry for content creation. So as much as I love beauty and skincare, I will be leaning into mobile apps as well. Currently I am on a TikTok account with around 800 followers. I will be using this account purely for UGC and running ads. In the new year I'll be starting a new account only for beauty (skincare, self-care, etc.). I am SO excited to start this new account. I'm going to be making this account and posting on it. I will of course still be doing lots of UGC but I'm going to create and try to grow this accou...

Blog Post 9 (I think)

 Hey everyone! Sorry I've been so busy, I haven't updated in such a long time! But not to worry, I'll be catching you up on everything I've been up to in this blog post. Let's go!   I've been in school for 3ish months now and I've been loving it! I took a break with outreaching so I didn't get a job for quite some time...until this week! In this past week I've had many people reach out to me and all of them were apps. I am really shocked how big the app market is! I think in December when I get less busy, I will start tapping into the apps market. One of the apps owner is actually really famous! He invented a popular fidget toy back he was in high school and started his career from there. I hope to be as successful as him one day!   This next week is looking to be really busy, but I think if I manage my time well, I'll do just fine! One thing that has really helped my manage my time whether it is for school, work or whatever, is writing a to-do l...

I'm BACK

 Hey guys! Sorry for not updating in a while! I am very busy with school. I might not be updating as much but I definitely will at least once a month! BUT that doesn't mean I have nothing to share, so let's get strait into it!   The past weeks have been slowish UGC wise. I got a couple of deals but they were all gifted. Oh well, everyone has good and bad weeks. But one thing that I have been really focusing on is to not act greedy, and here's why.   I have a client ask me to do a complete re shoot, and I was a little bit annoyed so I told him I would have to charge extra. Looking back, this was not a good thing for me to do because 1) I've worked with this client multiple times and if I want to remain a positive relationship between us, I would have to look past the money sometimes 2) I failed to deliver ;) and instead of trying to improve my video I was too obsessed with being paid that I forgot about my image. Lesson learned.   Also I keep on trying to get more and...

Week 7 (Special: Hate comments)

 Hi everyone Welcome to a new UGC blog post. Today, we have a special post because I need to talk about hate comments!    Recently I've been getting a lot of hate on TikTok because people don't believe that I am actually a content creator because of my following. I LITTERALLY explained what UGC is like a million times and people still don't get it so I stopped trying. One thing that really shocked me what how far trolls will go.  For example this girl hate commented multiple times on my videos and when I finally responded she told me I was "ruining her life" because "I'm annoying" and I "will not leave her alone" 💀 LIKE GIRL WHAT? And this morning I got an email and this other girl was BASHING me on my looks, how she dosen't believe me, blah blah blah AND THEN she proceeds to ask me how I became a content creator and if I could teach her. HOLD ON. Didn't you just literally insult me in every way humanly possible? I honestly don...

  Welcome back everyone to another blog post! I haven't updated you guys one my UGC journey for the past couple of weeks but today we will be catching up on EVERYTHING so let's get strait into it!   If you guys don't know already I am a 13 year old content creator!

Week 4 (Special: Time Management!)

Welcome back to another UGC blog post! This week's blog is about time management- a very very important skill to master! As a UGC creator (or any other type of freelancer) it's hard to keep track of time since we don't have a set schedule. This can easily lead to a unhealthy work-to-life balance. So today, I will be talking about my experience with time management and tips on how to achieve a healthy work schedule!   I'm going to keep it real with you guys- I not the best at time management! In fact, I kind of suck at it. Whenever there is something I passionate about, I get absolutely OBSESSED. For example, every time I discover a new TV show, I will watch it for 8 hours straight if I could! The same thing happend when I first started doing UGC three weeks ago. I sat in front of my computer all day long, checking my emails every few seconds.  It's like I got sucked into an alternate dimension where the only thing I could think of is UGC. Now that I look back on it,...

Week 3 (Speacial: What is UGC?)

Welcome! If you don't know already, my name is Julia and I'm a teenage UGC Creator. Before we get started I must tell you, this week's blog is a very special one! And as much as I would love to tell you guys everything about my week, I recently realized that I haven't yet explained what exactly UGC is. So today, I will be taking you guys on a tour of what UGC is and what a UGC Creator does.    Have you ever seen a TikTok of a HUGE influencer promoting a brand? Probably.  And did that video  motivate you to buy the product? Probably not. And it's not because the influencer is doing anything wrong, it's because everyone knows that the influencer is being paid big bucks to promote that brand. That's where UGC comes in. Think of UGC as online word to mouth or influencing without the influencer. 'User Generated Content' is authentic, original and relatable content made by regular people to influence other regular people. Most of the time, these content co...
