Hey,
I want to share one of my favorite side hustles. I think it’s gonna be THE side hustle of 2026, to be honest.
UGC!
User-generated content is so powerful.
Consumers look to trusted peer recommendations and word of mouth marketing to help them buy. So its so effective for marketing and I work on the creative side of this.
Brands pay creators to make this kind of content for them.
What does this mean?
Making TikTok videos
Creating Instagram reels and stories
Writing written reviews
Beginners can do this and the best part is, you don’t need any social media followers. Because you aren’t posting on your social media account.
You’re making the content for brands to post on their social media account and for ads. I do brand deals too.
I’ve made over 4 figures from this in the past week or so.
Christmas Eve I made about $700ish. I continue to get campaigns even during the holidays.
Here’s one of my paid invoices…
And, this is what my students are doing…
One stay at home mom made over $2,500 in her first 3 weeks.
One beginner landed her first $750 campaign in the first 7 days.
One beginner got to work with her favorite local apparel brand, got sent a bunch of free PR (gifted products) and made $500 on that campaign!
What does UGC look like?
Photos and videos of products. You can make them in your house, at a cafe, in the bathroom or kitchen, etc.

Would you do this?
This side hustle is so exciting to me!
I love that you can start it as a beginner and begin making serious money quickly.
Everyone’s results are unique of course but, I am seeing beginners make 4 figures their first month.
I found a beginner creator last year who started using my strategy, pitching and makde $20K in his first 2 months 😳
Wild, right?
