What if you could make $300 an hour filming short videos with your phone … and you didn’t need a single follower to get started?
That’s the side hustle Megan Collier carved out for herself with UGC (user-generated content).
Think of it as getting paid to create authentic-looking social media content for brands, even if you’re not an influencer.
And she’s not alone. Brands are hungry for this stuff.
In just a couple of years, Megan built her side hustle into a six-figure income stream and quit her day job in 2023.
Let’s take a look at how she did it, and how you can, too.
Tune in to Episode 666 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
- how Megan landed her first $750 UGC deal in 10 days.
- the exact outreach strategies she used to book brand clients.
- how she scaled to $300/hour and replaced her 9-to-5 income.
