📧 UGC Community #93 | January 16, 2026

If you’re stuck chasing $150 one-off gigs, you are trapped in the "vendor" mindset. To scale to $5k+ months, you need to stop selling deliverables (videos) and start selling outcomes (solutions).

Here is the exact framework to turn a single low-ticket opportunity into a $1,000+ monthly retainer.

LOOKING FOR UGC JOBS?

Your dream is ready. Are you?

What if you woke up tomorrow with all your expenses covered for an entire year? No rent. No bills. What would you dream up? What would you build?

That’s why we’re awarding $100,000 to one person who shows up as their authentic self and tells us how their dream can make a real difference in their communities.

We’ve got five runner-up prizes each worth $10,000, too. So get out your phone, hit record, and dream the dream only you can dream up.

[THE DEEP DIVE]

Most creators think the job is: Record -> Deliver -> Get Paid. That is a race to the bottom. If you want to multiply your income, you need to position yourself as a Strategic Partner, not just a pair of hands.

Here are the three "Unlocks" to make that shift.

1. The Ideation Unlock: Pitch Concepts, Not Rates

Brands are desperate for ideas. Their marketing managers are often stuck in a bubble, staring at the same product all day. You have the fresh perspective.

When you pitch, never just say, "Here are my rates."

Instead, say: "Here are 3 specific content concepts I haven't seen on your page yet, but I know your audience would love."

You solve a problem they didn't know they had (content fatigue) before they even hire you.

2. The Social Strategy Unlock: The "Gap" Audit

Don't just offer to make a video; offer to fill a hole in their strategy. Look at their TikTok or IG Reels. Ask yourself:

* Are they missing a specific customer persona?

* Are they failing to use trending hooks?

* Is there a storytelling format they are ignoring?

Pitch them on filling the gap: "I did a quick audit of your page and noticed you aren't targeting [Specific Demographic]. I can create a series of videos specifically to capture that audience."

3. The Ad Strategy Unlock: The Competitor Check

This is where the real money is. Brands spend thousands on ads, often blindly.

Go to the *Meta Ad Library** or TikTok Creative Center.

Look at what ads the brand's competitors* are running.

* Identify what the client is doing wrong or missing in comparison.

Your pitch becomes: "I looked at your current ads versus [Competitor]. There is a massive opportunity to test [Specific Creative Angle] to improve your ROAS. I’d love to create test concepts for you."

The Result:

When you combine these, you aren't a creator asking for $150. You are a consultant offering a roadmap for growth. That is how you command $1,000 retainers.

[PRO TIP OF THE WEEK]

Before any discovery call, spend 5 minutes in the Meta Ad Library searching for the brand. If they have active ads running, reference one specifically during the call (e.g., "I saw that unboxing ad you're running..."). This instantly proves you understand the commercial side of their business and separates you from 99% of other creators.
