Diary of a UGC Mom: My Lorelai Gilmore Moment
If you’ve been following along, you know that I’ve been doing UGC since around March using the super popular Anti-Influencer Method (AIM). UGC means User Generated Content, and it basically means creating content for brands. Not highly polished content, but real mom life. Since I started, I’ve signed two UGC contracts, one for $850, both faceless. I had every intention of staying faceless because your girl is a bit shy, but this week the most incredible thing happened. I got
You Don't Need Followers to be a Paid Influencer Anymore
You’ve probably been told you need followers to make money online. And if you’re anything like most people I talk to, that alone has already made you feel like it is not for you. But there’s a whole side of content creation that no one really explains. It’s called tech UGC and it’s quietly paying people like you to create simple videos for apps, websites, and online tools. Not to grow your own page… not to become an influencer. You just help brands get more people to download
How I paid my mortgage payment in ONE DAY (without going viral). A Real UGC Love Story.
Hi! I’m Megan. I’m a small-town, introverted mom of two who paid off over $60K in debt without a degree, without going viral, and without showing up every day on social media. A few years ago, I was working as a social media manager while juggling mom life and constantly feeling behind. I didn’t come from money. I didn’t have fancy credentials. But I knew one thing: I was tired of surviving, and I wanted more for my family. I tried a little bit of everything to make ends mee
Diary of a UGC Mom: Entry 9- Five Hard Lessons I Learned
5 Things I Learned About Being an Anti-Influencer Mom You'll make it to the degree that you put in effort. There are no real shortcuts. It's hard to hear this because we all want to believe that a program will work for us no matter what, but if I'm not taking small actions every other day at least, nothing will happen. It's the exact same thing as planting a garden, taking care of a house, or taking care of kids. If you don't work on it, things don't move forward and you won'
Diary of a UGC College Girl: #2
UGC Update! I’m in full exam mode right now, so yeah, balancing work, school, and trying to learn at the same time is kind of chaotic. Not gonna lie. But summer’s coming up and I really want to already have momentum with UGC - User generated content- instead of starting from zero when I finally have more free time. So here’s what I’ve actually gotten done the past few days: I made profiles on a bunch of UGC platforms (some of them make you do little tasks… but honestly it’s f
Diary of a UGC Mom: Day 8 (My Big Win This Week)
Last night I was watching TikToks from UGC (User Generated Content) women of all ages who were sharing their wins and methods when it comes to creating content for brands. All I could think about was that I wish I'd known about this sooner. Even a few years ago. When I see Megan post in the group about The Anti-Influencer Method, there's usually at least one comment from someone along the lines of, "You're just making money off of this course. No one can earn this much actual
My UGC Life: College Student Edition
I just found out about UGC and I’m not even gonna lie, at first it felt like… what is this and why does it sound so complicated. 😭 I’ve never done anything like this before. I work part-time at a pastry café, I’m in school full-time, I study a ton, I volunteer, and I still try to have a life and see my friends. So adding something new felt like a lot. Also… I like my job, I just don’t love it. And if I can make the same money (or more) in less time doing something online,
Diary of a UGC Mom: Day 6
I started with the Anti-Influencer Method a month ago and since then, I'm officially in negotiations with two companies. I got one offer for about $120/month for maybe ten minutes of work daily, but turned that deal down. The contract wasn't what I wanted to do. It was also much lower than what I wanted to earn. In the past, I would have walked away from the table, frustrated and discouraged regarding how to move forward. But I remembered the module about figuring out how you
Day 5: Diary of a UGC Mom
If you've been following along, you know I've been curious about UGC (User Generated Content), am doing the Anti-Influencer Method (AIM), and I signed a contract with a company! BUT, I missed one important factor when it comes to working with companies: I'm not good at pretending. Like, I cannot fake it. I can't pretend to like something. If I really don't use a service or love a product, I can't hype it up. It makes me feel super weird to even try. This can be a fatal flaw w
Diary of a UGC Mom: Day 4 - Showing Up Messy
Lately I've had to accept that I'll never FEEL ready to do something new. I'll never feel like I'm ready to learn a new skill, or open up a module and do it, or feel like I know enough to take the leap and work with a company. When it comes to success as a work-at-home mom, we have to approach it like we did motherhood: we just jumped. I mean, did anyone feel 100% ready to be a mom? I knew I wanted to be a mom, but I had no idea what it was really like until I was armpit deep
Diary of a UGC Mom: Day 3
For moms who want to work from home, figuring out what you're going to focus on is the hardest part. There are pretty much unlimited options once one decides to go into business for themselves. Even if you decide to work for companies, there are so many ways to do that. You can handle their social media, become a virtual assistant, but the most flexible route is creating content for them on your own time: UGC. User Generated Content. It's content you make for companies while
