I charge €450 for 1 UGC video now… and that honestly used to scare me SO much 😭 When I started UGC, I charged €100 per video. Then €150. Then €200. Then €250. Then €300. And every single time I wanted to raise my rates, I had this fear of: “What if brands stop working with me?” But over the past few years, I’ve grown SO much as a creator. My videos got better. my editing got better. I understand marketing way more now. I know how to create content that actually converts. I’ve worked with big brands. I get consistent inbound requests. And honestly… I’m fully booked a lot of the time. At one point I realised I can’t keep growing by just taking on more work. There are only so many videos I can film, edit, revise, and deliver in a week before I completely burn myself out 😅 So the only thing that really made sense anymore was increasing my rates. And yes… that did mean losing some clients. Some brands that loved working with me at €200 suddenly thought I was “too expensive” at €450. But at the exact same time, new brands came in that literally didn’t even question the price. That was such a mindset shift for me. not every client is meant to stay with you forever as you grow. And sometimes raising your rates is exactly what helps you attract the clients that actually match the level you’re at now. Also I’m not sharing this to say everyone should charge €450. This is just where I’m currently at after years of building experience, improving my skills, and learning the industry. But I do hope it encourages some of you to stop undercharging yourselves 🤍 👇What’s your current starting rate for 1 UGC video?

hi besties!!!! It’s been a minute… I had hand surgery + a chaotic few months, so I haven’t been as active here as I wanted to be. But I’m finally back and honestly excited to reconnect with you again. And omg, I saw SO many new people joined recently 👀 So before I jump back into posting new tips, templates, and editing breakdowns, I really want to understand what you need right now. Because the truth is:UGC isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. The stage you’re in determines everything what you should focus on, what you should ignore, and what will actually help you move forward. So let’s do a quick reset together: What’s ONE thing you’re stuck on right now? Just one. The first thing that comes to mind. It helps me see exactly what this community needs so I can create posts that actually solve your real problems, not just generic advice. I’m back, I’m feeling good, and I want to make this place valuable again for all of us. Can’t wait to read your responses 🫶 Nyomi What stage are you in right now?

Okay, so CapCut just quietly updated their Terms of Service (around June 12–21) and it’s honestly a bit of a red flag, especially if you’re a content creator. Here’s the deal: When you edit or upload any content to CapCut and yes, even private drafts, you automatically give ByteDance (the company behind TikTok) and their partners: A perpetual, global, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, modify, share, repost, and even monetize your work.Including your face, voice, style, username, and anything else in your video.😱 And no. you DON'T get credit, and you DON'T get paid. Even if you don’t post it. Even if you delete your account later. That license still stands. If your in the UK or EU you’re a little safer. EU/UK consumer laws mean companies can’t just override your basic rights. So some of this may not hold up legally if challenged. BUT The TOS still says you give them those rights, and unless you fight it legally (aka hire a lawyer), they’re assuming they can use your content however they want. So it’s still… icky.🥲 You can still use CapCut. But the second you edit something inside it, they technically get rights over it, even if you never post it. That’s why many creators are switching platforms for safer control over their content. 👇What are you doing after reading this?👇

I received an Inbound that just seems too good to be true… The brand in question is thetoothtastic.com and the email has the domain with @thetoothtastic.com … so far seems good. The IG they have included is https://instagram.com/thetoothtastic and it also seems ok, pretty new brand, first post end of 2024, aligns with the email I received, they are just starting their socials now lalala… Next thing I received for review are the Project Guidelines which are: https://thetoothtastic.com/pages/ugc-project-guidelines And this is where I started thinking: 1) Why the purchase of product? Discounted or not, isn’t this a BIG red flag? 2) It simply seems too good to be true! The pricing of 600€ for a single video OR 5 photos for organic use only simply seems too good to be true - to me at least… am I wrong? Help!

After a 5 month postpartum break I am back and I just got a paid deal for a baby playmat! I am so happy as I wanted to update my portfolio to include baby and parenting niche and this really came in perfect time! 🥰 It is a small deal - my first on Influee app and I settled for 70€ in product value and 50€ paid but still - I am super happy and felt like sharing!
