Today I want to talk about how I made $5.7K in UGC Deals this month (without personally pitching.)

In this episode, I’m giving you the full behind-the-scenes look at exactly how that happened—what kind of brands I worked with, how I landed the deals, how much they paid, and what kind of UGC content they wanted from me.

If you're a content creator who dreams of getting paid to travel, or you're just getting started in the UGC space and wondering what’s actually possible—this episode is the one for you. I'm walking you through:

✨ My July UGC income breakdown—deal by deal
✨ The exact types of content brands are asking for right now
✨ How I landed over $2,000 in UGC deals from automated cold email pitches
✨ Why I turned down a long-term UGC deal (and passed it to my students!)
✨ How I made $1,100 in pure passive income from a video I filmed a YEAR ago

If you’re sitting there still chasing $200 deals and wondering if this UGC thing is worth it… let this episode be your proof. Consistency compounds. UGC can fund your freedom.
