Paid To Travel: The UGC Podcast
Welcome to the side of the internet where we get paid to travel. In this podcast, I will teach you how to create UGC content so you can work part-time creating fun content and spend the majority of your days exploring the world, rather than sitting at a desk. All while making MORE money than we did at our soul-sucking 9-5. Does that sound like a dream? Well, it’s my reality and it can be yours too.
I’m your host Maddy Garrett, your UGC Travel Bestie. I help everyday people just like you start their own UGC digital nomad business so that they can achieve this kind of life-changing freedom, too. I’ve taught over 2,000 students in my Masterclasses, Programs, and 1:1 Coaching, and I educate my audience of 40,000+ ambitious dreamers daily on social media.
So tune in every week so you can quit your job and start getting paid to travel.

05: How To Create Great Hooks As A UGC Creator
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
So many beginner UGC creators are messing this up... and frankly it’s costing them paid deals.
In today's episode, we're tackling the #1 reason your content isn’t converting: your HOOK. If you want your videos to grab attention, build trust, and drive sales, this episode is your new playbook.
🎧 What You’ll Learn Today:
- 🔥 What exactly a hook is and why it’s the most important part of your UGC video.
- 🧠 How to speak to your target audience’s pain points and desires in the first 3 seconds.
- 💬 Steal my ChatGPT script for writing killer hooks and I use real-life hook examples that actually convert.
- 🛠️ How to create scroll-stopping curiosity gaps that keep viewers watching.

📣 Challenge for You:
I'm dropping a mini challenge to help you take action today:
- Pick a product you’re filming or want to film.
- Ask: Who am I speaking to? What problem does this solve?
- Then, use those answers to craft 3 punchy, curiosity-packed hook ideas.
