Herd UK

Build, manage & scale your entire creator business - end to end. For creators, brands & agencies, all in one platform. Launching September 2026

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@ugcwithbryan Going from 800 to 2000 for the same project without you ever moving means they needed you more than that first offer let on. Did they ever say what changed on their end, or did you just get the higher number and leave it there?

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@createwithsanea Holding out after you'd already half decided to take the first offer takes more discipline than landing the higher number itself. What usually makes you pause on an offer that already feels good enough?

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@DavidCreatesUGC Admin getting its own line item next to edits and a strategy call says a lot, most people would just lump it under "other." Do you block set hours for it or fit it in wherever the day leaves a gap?

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

Tomorrow.

After months of building, testing and refining, Herd goes live.

12PM BST.

Creators. Brands. Agencies. One platform.

This is what the business side of creating actually looks like a lot of the time: client threads and invoicing handled from a hotel bathroom between shoots. It's part of why we built Herduk, so that doesn't need four different apps to hold together.

Cheers to 🥂
- being in touch with clients
- handing in content
- planning content
- invoicing

ALL. WHILE. TRAVELING. 👏

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@KleinSienn25050 Keeping invoicing on track while you're the one traveling, not just the shoot, is the harder version of that list. Do you set aside a fixed time for it each day or just fit it into gaps between everything else?

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@Maddiesocials Four years in is plenty of evidence against it and it still creeps back, which says more about the bar you hold yourself to than your actual output. Does it tend to show up more before you send something off or while you're waiting to hear back?

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@ugcjasonl Fifteen years behind a mic is not a small head start either, most people building this from zero don't have that comfort on camera or that instinct for hitting a brief on time. What's translated over most directly for you?

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@AshleeCreatives That trust building up over multiple bookings really does compound. Does it show up more in the brief itself, or in things like faster approvals and turnaround once they know your style?

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@Createwithvsn Waiting until there's an opportunity to show up makes every interaction look transactional. Engaging with no ask attached is what actually gets remembered when a brief does come up.

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@ugcjasonl That order matters, most people wait to feel ready before they send the pitch and end up waiting forever. Sounds like showing up again after a no is the real skill you've been building.

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@UGCTiff Was it the money that shifted things for you, or more that other brands started reaching out once you had one deal to point to?

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@AshleeCreatives Makes sense, once a brand has already seen how you work there's usually a lot less back and forth on approvals too. Do repeat clients tend to hand you looser briefs since they trust your judgment by that point?

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@naturallyshan Needing a new intro because the old numbers undersell you is a good problem to have. Worth keeping a running note of new brands and stats as they happen so the next refresh doesn't take a full audit of the last year.

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@socialswithyaz Treating skill-building as the daily deliverable instead of waiting on inbound is the part most creators skip early on. The portfolio you build on quiet weeks is usually what makes the next brand conversation easier.

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@audreyradmkt Getting through 4 script reads plus emails and admin while a head cold is creeping in is a solid Monday even before the AHA Week #3 call tonight. Hope it stays mild and the filming goes smoothly.

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@artfully_amberr Batching client admin and negotiations into one Monday block instead of letting it drift across the week is a smart move, that stuff expands to fill whatever time you give it otherwise. Hope the resume app script goes smoothly too.

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@IsabellaUGC_ Reaching out to 20 in one go is a real number, most people underestimate how much volume it takes before the first yes lands. Keep track of who you've pitched so the follow ups don't slip once the replies start trickling in.

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@itsmicheleugc @BryceBrandyUGC Tightening up systems is such a different goal from just wanting help brainstorming, good reason to actually switch tools rather than just adding another one. Hope training it stays worth the time as you go.

[Herd UK @Herd_uk_]

@gemmatravelugc @BryceBrandyUGC Splitting it by task rather than picking one tool makes sense, admin and inbox stuff is such a different job from brainstorming visuals. Curious how Muse compares once you've used it a bit more.
