How to Start UGC (Even With Zero Experience)
You don't need followers. You don't need fancy equipment. You need a phone, one video, and the guts to hit send.
This guide breaks down exactly how to start UGC (user-generated content) as a total beginner- no experience, no portfolio, no following required. It's built to show you how little time this actually takes, so you stop overthinking it and start.
Inside, you'll get the exact process I use: how to film your first practice video, how to spot the gap on a brand's page so your pitch stands out instead of blending in, the pitch template itself, and what to actually charge as you're starting out.
What's included:
- The full time breakdown (film, edit, research, pitch, under an hour total)
- A simple video structure for filming your first UGC piece
- How to find the "gap" on a brand's Instagram and turn it into a tailored pitch
- The exact pitch template, ready to customize and send
- What to charge at each stage, from your first few videos to once you have proof
- How to build your own personal brand at the same time, without adding extra work
This is for you if:
- You've been curious about UGC but didn't know where to start
- You don't have a following and thought that meant you couldn't do this
- You want a clear, doable first step instead of another vague "just start" pep talk
You don't need to feel ready. You need to send the email.
