I thought my first post on X should probably be an introduction. So this is me, in my happy place. I’m Laura & I’m a 25 year old UGC & content creator from Cambridge✨🇬🇧 I can’t wait to connect with more UGC creators!!! 💖

[Laura | UK UGC Creator | Gen Z @lauradoesugc]

@RealCreatives_ And this is exactly how you do it. !!!!

[Julie | UGC Creator | Founder UGC REAL @RealCreatives_]

I’ll say this louder for creators in the back:

I did a FREE ad after a client’s concept flopped.
Not to undercharge myself.
But to show them I knew exactly what I was doing.

That ad crushed in Q4.
They just sent me a bonus. 💰

Expertise > ego. Always.

These “post 3-4 videos per day for 30 days on a brand new account” partnership structures are SUCH a joke. If you break it down, most of them are offering less than $100 per video…OH but they try to sell you on it by saying “each video should only take you 10-30 mins max. Pardon me?? 😂

COMPENSATE YOUR CREATORS PROPERLY!!!

Manifesting the inbounds for us all this week ✨✨✨✨ #ugc

[Laura | UK UGC Creator | Gen Z @lauradoesugc]

Convinced everything happens at once in the UGC world! I have really busy days followed by completely dead ones- such a weird feeling 🤣 #ugc

‼️For all of my creators concerned about Capcut's new terms,

They only have rights to your content if you upload to their cloud or templates. You don't need to panic.

If you upload the terms into chat gpt and ask, it explains how "CapCut can’t claim rights to your content if you edit locally, but the moment you export, save, or upload to their cloud or template library, you grant them the rights outlined in their Terms."

As long as you aren't making templates or publishing your content to their cloud, they cant access it.

Keep using Capcut! You're fine!

Ok so now I think VN video editor might actually be a CapCut alternative

[Laura | UK UGC Creator | Gen Z @lauradoesugc]

Right so time to try DaVinci Resolve as I’ve heard that’s the CapCut alternative?? I like Instagram edits, but it is quite limited compared to cap cut 🙄 #capcut #ugccreator

In the last two days I’ve had two different brands reach out to me asking for “1 UGC video, 2 hooks, and full ownership and usage rights” Both quoting £150. Guys, this is a lowball offer! £150 to keep & use my content forever? It’s a no from me #ugc

[Laura | UK UGC Creator | Gen Z @lauradoesugc]

Creators who have worked on briefs through Twirl, does it take like a month to get content approved? I did a brief and it took about 14 days for them to ask for a revision, so i did it, and it’s been 12 days since I submitted that? Is it normal to wait this long? #ugc

[Laura | UK UGC Creator | Gen Z @lauradoesugc]

It’s so weird going from days of straight filming & editing to then a day of having not much to do! Tell me why I kind of like it though? #ugc #ugclife #contentcreator

[Laura | UK UGC Creator | Gen Z @lauradoesugc]

UGC is so crazy the way you can have one hugely busy week and the next one be totally dead.. you just never know what’s around the corner!! #ugc

[Laura | UK UGC Creator | Gen Z @lauradoesugc]

did some UGC practice filming yesterday! #ugc

[Laura | UK UGC Creator | Gen Z @lauradoesugc]

Thought it would be a good idea to have some more outdoor / garden examples in my UGC portfolio and so I put up our new garden umbrella & filmed it. Upside down. And then once I realised, noticed the company had only sent me half the kit to build it anyway 🤦🏻‍♀️ great start Laura

UGC tip:

That product you’ve used every day for 3 years? Make content about that.

It shows. And brands LOVE authenticity.

Yesterday I got my first ever Twirl brief!!! It took a while to get there but glad we did in the end! 🙌

[Laura | UK UGC Creator | Gen Z @lauradoesugc]

These scam emails are getting so sneaky! Had one this morning that wanted a “test video” from a script- and the link to the script went to a completely different brands page🤣🤣 One brand posing as another?🙄 #ugc #scamemail

[Laura | UK UGC Creator | Gen Z @lauradoesugc]

Last week I posted about wanting to get a haircare brief and this week I’m filming one!!! Say it out loud and it happens guys 🤣🤣 On that note I can’t wait to work with a train company soon🤞👀😂 #contentcreator #ugc

[Laura | UK UGC Creator | Gen Z @lauradoesugc]

Havign such an unproductive morning! Trying to convince myself it’s alright but I feel when you’re self employed it’s so easy to be hard on yourself #ugc #selfemployed #contentcreation

[Laura | UK UGC Creator | Gen Z @lauradoesugc]

I really want to do more work in the haircare niche. When I started my UGC journey it started with haircare and now I’m so fully immersed in pet.. so, this is my mini application I guess? #haircare #ugc #ugccreator #haircarecontent #contentcreator
