[@MurphyTimes]

I studied advertising and marketing for 4 years in college, and you’ve really nailed everything I’ve ever been taught during that time. I have a hard time building confidence in this space, but the way you break it down makes me feel like I can accomplish being a marketer!

[@gougcpro]

Hey! I appreciate your comment and for sharing your backstory. It takes time to build up confidence - at one point I was very shy and had REALLY bad imposter syndrome. It gets better with time, the more you put yourself out there, practice and build your overall skillsets - the easier it gets!

[@jasmine__alchemist]

[@wellwithdora]

Loved the video! I didn't really hear you talk about that other form of UGC, the one that you mentioned in one of your most popular tiktoks (I think it had something to do with creating some kinds of welcome videos??) I remember you mentioning script reading and I'd really love to learn more about that, what it is, how to start, find brands etc 🙏🏼

[@gougcpro]

Hey Dora!! That’s going to be in the next video I’ll be posting. I wanted to make sure I dedicated an entire video to it since I received SO many good questions related to that viral TikTok. Stay tuned!!! Looking to film it this weekend 👀

Looking forward to watching all of this later! Currently running my own business as a handyman after being made redundant from long career at previous job. But feels like I could be working much smarter. I'm very interested in the script reading/voice over aspect of ugc but have no clue (yet) where to start. If I could replace my current day rate of £150, working smarter to free up lore time to be with my girls that would be amazing!

[@gougcpro]

Hey thanks for the comment! I'm entirely self taught. Lots of googling, youtube searching, and real life / career experience.

[@adamgagliardo7059]

Thanks for sharing all the great info. Do you think the downturn in the economy will result in lower total ad spend and therefore less opportunities for UGC brand partnerships as less ad creative would be needed? Are you seeing any shifts occur?

[@gougcpro]

Hey Adam! Such a good question. I think the economy is going to force creators to be more conversion driven since those are the creators brands will be prioritizing in 2023/2024. The more UGC reflects best practices, more likely a brand will be to “take a chance” on the creator & their ads! Let me know if you have any follow up questions.
