📧 UGC Community #94 | January 19, 2026

Most people think UGC is exclusively a Gen Z game. Tell that to Dave, a 52-year-old creator who generated $282,991 in the last year alone.

He didn’t get lucky, and he didn’t go viral by accident. He treated UGC like a B2B operation rather than a creative side hustle.

Today, we’re breaking down the "Omnipresence" framework he uses to hit consistent $30k months.

Free, private email that puts your privacy first

A private inbox doesn’t have to come with a price tag—or a catch. Proton Mail’s free plan gives you the privacy and security you expect, without selling your data or showing you ads.

Built by scientists and privacy advocates, Proton Mail uses end-to-end encryption to keep your conversations secure. No scanning. No targeting. No creepy promotions.

With Proton, you’re not the product — you’re in control.

Start for free. Upgrade anytime. Stay private always.

[THE DEEP DIVE]

Dave’s massive revenue comes from one core philosophy: Omnipresence. He doesn't rely on a single platform; he creates a traffic jam of opportunities.

Here is how you can replicate his system:

1. Build a Multi-Channel Lead Engine

Most creators ask, "Should I be on Fiverr or pitch via email?" Dave’s answer is "Yes." To hit $30k/month, you need to be everywhere decision-makers look.

* Inbound: Optimize your Fiverr profile for SEO (think keywords a Marketing Director would search) and polish your LinkedIn to showcase business expertise, not just "content creation."

* Outbound: Don't wait for them. Pitch hundreds of brands weekly via email and DMs.

* The Goal: Create so many touchpoints that brands feel like you are the only option.

2. Adopt the "Factory Model" for Production

You cannot scale if you are filming and editing videos one by one. Dave increased his hourly rate from $45 to $150+ by switching to Batch Processing.

* Pre-Production: Prepare all scripts, setups, and props in advance.

* Execution: Record a whole month's worth of content in a single afternoon.

* Post-Production: Stop editing everything yourself. Create a style guide and outsource editing to a freelancer so you can focus on getting more clients.

3. Hire to Buy Back Time

Dave runs a lean team including a Virtual Assistant (VA), an Executive Assistant, and an Editor.

* The VA handles pitching and follow-ups.

* The Editor handles revisions and cuts.

* You handle the strategy and the face-to-camera work.

* Action Step: Start small. Hire a VA for 5 hours a week to handle list building or invoicing. If your hourly rate is $100, don't do $10/hour work.

[PRO TIP OF THE WEEK]

The Abundance Pricing Hack

The biggest reason creators undercharge is desperation. When you implement "Omnipresence" and have 3-5 new deals entering your pipeline daily, you gain the power to say "No." Use this leverage to raise your prices immediately. If you lose a client because you're "too expensive," it doesn't matter—because you have 10 more lining up behind them.
