Podcast: Why No One Hires You as a UGC Creator

In short

  • The lack of job offers is not due to bad luck or market saturation, but to the fact that many UGC creators do the same thing.
  • The episode explores the hype in the sector, pricing, and the key portfolio mistake that prevents you from selling.
  • Making pretty videos is no longer enough: brands hire based on how they perceive the creator.

If you're trying to make a living from UGC and no one is hiring you, it's not bad luck. And it's not that the market is saturated either.

👉 It's that most UGC creators are doing exactly the same thing.

In this episode, I tell you what almost no one says about UGC:
