πŸ“§ UGC Community #97 | January 26, 2026

We talk a lot about cold pitching in this newsletter. And for good reasonβ€”it’s the engine of a creator's business.

But relying only on cold emails is risky. Inboxes get full, brands get busy, and sometimes you just need a warmer path to a paycheck.

One of the smartest things you can do as a creator is diversify your lead flow. You want "fishing lines" in as many waters as possible.

While we are usually skeptical of creator platforms (due to low pay or high competition), every once in a while, a new player enters the market with the two things that actually matter: real budgets and big clients.

When that happens, the best strategy is to be an "Early Adopter." Getting in before the platform is saturated means you get seen first.

Today, we’re doing a deep dive on a new platform that just hit our radarβ€”and why you should set up a profile immediately.

LOOKING FOR UGC JOBS?

[THE DEEP DIVE]: Diversify your strategy with MediaNug

If you are tired of sketchy DMs or chasing invoices, here is why adding this platform to your workflow is a solid move for Q1.

1. The "Whale" Clients are Already There Usually, new platforms have small, unknown brands. NugVerse has launched with heavy hitters. We are talking about active briefs from brands like Nike, Bumble, DraftKings, Ticketmaster, IL MAKIAGE, and PureGym. These are brands that are notoriously hard to cold pitch, but they are actively hiring here.

2. Legitimacy & Safety (No Sketchy DMs) We’ve discussed the nightmare of "performance-based" scams recently. NugVerse solves this by vetting the opportunities for you. They have already paid out over $1,000,000 to creators. The briefs are clear, the pay is fair, and the risk is removed.

3. The "Early Adopter" Algorithm This is the most critical part. The platform is growing fast, but it’s not overcrowded yet. Early sign-ups are currently being surfaced first as new briefs roll out. By creating your profile today, you are positioning yourself at the top of the pile before the masses arrive.

4. Niches Are Welcome (Pets, Couples, Families) One unique feature we love: you aren't limited to just being "you." You can create specialized profiles.

  • Have a cute dog? Create a Pet Profile.

  • Create content with your partner? Create a Couple Profile.

  • Do huge family hauls? Create a Family Profile. This allows you to pitch for specific beauty, fashion, gaming, sports, or auto jobs that fit your specific situation.

[PRO TIP OF THE WEEK]

Don't just copy-paste your bio. When you sign up for NugVerse today, take 5 minutes to tailor your profile. Treat this like you are writing a pitch to your ideal customer.
