Could You Leave Your 9-5 for UGC?

My 5 Steps to Building a Full-Time Income as a Content Creator.

Have you ever wondered if UGC could replace the income you make at your full-time job? I had the same thought four years ago when I fully transitioned to social media management.

Unlike most people, I didn’t have a great plan in place and had no choice but to make things work, which pushed me to uncover amazing strategies as a business owner. This ability to pivot, build value, and market myself carried over into my UGC business.

Today, I want to share my top five tips for building a full-time income as a content creator:

1. View This as Your Own Business:

   When you take ownership of a business and commit yourself to learning about sales, marketing, and customer service; you find solutions to your client’s biggest pain points and stand out from the competition. This could look like investing in your business education, collaborating with a mentor, or actively practicing your strategies in outreach and social media marketing.

2. Perfect Your Craft as a Salesperson:

   So many people are afraid of sales, and view it as a negative aspect of business. However, this is the step before profit, and a necessary one to embrace and master. If you feel weird about selling yourself, you may want to focus on building your value. Once you know that you have something valuable to offer, sales should come with ease.

3. Build on Your Value:

   Once you’ve gained a clientele, or started getting positive responses from brands, you want to ensure the sustainability of your brand. This can be done by continuing to build on the services you have to offer. One example of this would be adding product photography, ad management, or social strategy to your services.

4. Know Your Market:

   As one of the fastest-moving industries, digital marketing careers depend on your ability to keep up with your ideal clients. Understanding their struggles, wants, and needs can help you offer the perfect solution. By innovating and staying relevant, you ensure the longevity of your business.

5. Get Results:

   One of the most moving ways to pitch clients is through past campaign statistics. By seeing the proof of growth and success, they feel more comfortable trusting you with their work. If you’re not getting results, try changing up your strategy and doing more platform/algorithm research.
