Paid To Travel: The UGC Podcast

28: October UGC Income Recap: How I Signed $5,175 in UGC Deals Working 10 Hours/Week

Maddy Garrett

This month, I averaged $130 an hour working part-time as a UGC creator.

Today I’m breaking down exactly how I did it — every brand deal, every deliverable, and how I balanced it all while only working around 10 hours a week. This isn’t influencer content. This is real, sustainable user-generated content (UGC) that pays you to travel, create, and work remotely. 

If you’ve ever dreamed about landing paid brand deals or building a flexible remote work lifestyle,  this is your episode.

In This Episode:

  • 💸 The exact breakdown of my $5,175 month in UGC income
  • 📸 How I structure retainer clients and one-off paid brand deals
  • 💼 Why taking a slightly lower rate can build long-term client relationships
  • ✉️ My go-to pitching strategy using Bento (use code MADDY for a discount!)
  • 🧠 How I keep my workload light and still average over $130/hour
  • 🌍 How UGC allows me to get paid to travel while working part-time
