I was recently interviewed by Nick Loper on The Side Hustle Show, and let me just say — if you’ve ever dreamed about making real money from your phone without having to become an “influencer,” this episode is a must-listen.
In this episode, Nick and I talked about how I built a six-figure income stream by creating simple videos for brands — without having a big social media following, fancy camera gear, or any marketing background when I started.
Yes, seriously. Just short-form videos, shot on my phone, for brands that needed fresh, authentic content to promote their products.
💥 Here’s what we covered:
How I landed my first $750 UGC deal just 10 days after starting
What UGC (User-Generated Content) is and why it’s exploding
Exactly how I reach out to brands (and what to say)
How I scaled to $300/hour creating content at home
Why this side hustle works for people of all ages — not just Gen Z
How I quit my 9-to-5 in 2023 and never looked back
This wasn’t a get-rich-quick story. It’s real, it’s doable, and it’s something you can start even if you’re juggling a job, kids, or starting from scratch.
I break it all down in a way that’s easy to follow, especially if you’re new to the UGC world or just starting to explore side hustles.
💡 Why This Could Be Your Next Income Stream
UGC is one of the best-kept secrets for people who want to make money online without having to build a brand, go viral, or sell to friends and family. It’s flexible, creative, and highly in demand.
Whether you want to earn an extra $500/month or turn it into a full-blown career like I did, you don’t need to wait for anyone’s permission. You just need a plan — and that’s exactly what I share inside The Ultimate UGC Course.
