The Spoonies Mini-Guide To Starting UGC

The Spoonies Guide to Starting UGC is a free 12-page, mini-guide created specifically for people with chronic illnesses and disabilities who want to create content without burning themselves out.

Inside, you’ll find clear, actionable steps to help you start your UGC journey in a way that’s sustainable, flexible, and aligned with your health.

What’s inside the guide:

✨ Setting up your social accounts — including a ready-to-use ChatGPT prompt to help you write an effective bio and choose a niche that fits your life

✨ Finding inspiration without comparison or overwhelm

✨ A basic shopping list of what you actually need to get started (no expensive gear required)

✨ Content ideas to help you post consistently, even on low-energy days

✨ Creating a portfolio using Canva websites (simple, accessible, and free-friendly)

✨ How to get work — inbound opportunities, outreach, and platforms that support UGC creators

✨ What to charge for the basics and how to value your work

✨ Pacing yourself & disabled representation — building a business that respects your body while advocating for visibility

This guide is written by a chronically ill UGC creator who understands the realities of living with an invisible disability and building a business at the same time. It’s practical, encouraging, and honest — no hustle culture, no pressure to “push through.”

Whether you’re brand new to UGC or looking for a more sustainable way to create, this guide is here to remind you that your health comes first — and you can still build something meaningful.
