In this episode, we sit down with Megan Collier to talk all things UGC (User Generated Content) and her journey stepping into the space. Megan opens up about what it’s really like getting started, how to push past imposter syndrome, and why UGC is an incredible opportunity not just for Gen Z and Millennials, but also for Gen X and Baby Boomers. She shares practical advice on building your first portfolio (yes, you can use everyday products around your house), what brands actually look for in creators, and how to make content that gets noticed. We also dive into negotiation tips, usage rights, and the power of securing monthly retainer clients for steady income. Whether you’re just getting curious about UGC or already creating content, this episode is packed with tips to help you grow, monetize, and show up with confidence.
