When you are starting out as a UGC newbie, one of the best pieces of advice I had was to find other creators on social media that you can learn from.
I found Anna Mongiello - the UGC Coach. With her years of experience, no-BS tips and generosity with sharing content, I was hooked.
Anna is a 36-year-old full-time UGC content creator and coach based in New Jersey, USA. Anna began her UGC journey in 2021 and since then has worked with over 600 clients, including brands like Pureology, L'Oreal, Motion, and IGK, just to name a few. Before discovering content creation Anna worked as an English as a Second Language Teacher, coached cross country and track, worked as a professional model.
Anna's TOP TIPS for UGC beginners:
1. Take action - don't get stuck in analysis paralysis.
2. Foster relationships with the brands from the beginning.
3. Treat UGC as a business - contracting, document your journey and outsource as you grow.
4. Get on social media.
5. The quickest way to get brand deals is on UGC apps.
