I retired from UGC after 3 years. Here’s my gatekept hacks
-Bento.
-tone down the professionalism. Be FUN to work with (ofc within reason)
-don’t take bad projects. Your sanity will thank you.
-don’t charge extra for raw footage or usage.
-Good agencies will be your besties.
They’ve set up this episode so people don’t vote for Mimi. How can you end on the terrace, and we don’t even know if she’s gonna fly kick Ayo or something?#loveisland
❌DO NOT WORK WITH DUPREE AND HIS AGENCY YUGENSTUDIOS 🗑️
Just got blocked here after he probably saw my threats 🤣
Here’s the facts. I messed up. I trusted this guy because of his relatability and “honesty” and didn’t follow my payment protocol, with my preview only link/watermark. I take full responsibility for this.
But things got me even more heated when I contacted the brand directly and they told me they never even received my final content I made for them 🥲
That crosses the line.
The brand paid $900 for content to him and never even received the final versions.
I gave Dupree an excellent deal and went way below my rates because I wanted to build a long term relationship with him. Submitted all my content on time, and in return received 3 months of excuses. He said he had family problems, that the brand didn’t pay him, and then he said his phone broke. 🥲
Even through it all, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and said, “No worries, just keep communicating” and even offered a split payment plan.
As of today I just received the block!
Of course, im pissed. I didn’t follow my protocol, but I am even more pissed for the brand. I felt bad for the brand and I offered them the revisions and final content for FREE.
Just another reason to choose the creator, over the middle man.
There’s so much more to share, and i’ll be making a video with all the screenshots and lies 😈
❌But AGAIN DO NOT WORK with DUPREE from YUGEN STUDIOS. ❌
SIDE NOTE: There was another female creator who worked with him on this project. If you see this lmk!

When I was a kid I used to say my eyes went blue when I was upset/angry. I even had a photo. People thought I was delusional… but maybe I was onto something 😩

I think a lot of brands are creating clothes with a straight thin body in mind and include bigger models to reach a bigger demographic. I wish we could see more lines that focus on creating clothes which accentuate average and curvaceous bodies.
Such a well articulated article! Working in the modelling industry the standard has always been skinny. Plus size modelling is still slow (and I think a marketing ploy) And mid size models are really the unspoken exception.
Lowrise jeans and the seismic popularity of the Miu Miu ultra mini skirt and exposed mid-sections has everyone agreeing that skinny is certainly back, but, how can skinny be back when it never really left?
A thread of excerpts 👇
So I’ve finally decided to overcome my imposter syndrome and throw myself into being a #UGCcreator I’m based in the UK so if anyone has any tips or good pages to follow please let me know 💗
