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.

42: The 5 Things $10k/m UGC Creators Do
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you want to get paid to travel, land consistent paid brand deals, and scale your income as a content creator, this episode is for you.
I’m breaking down the five real shifts that took me (and my students) from inconsistent $2K months to consistent $10K months with UGC. These aren’t hacks — these are the strategic moves that actually grow your business.
We talk about how to build a portfolio that attracts higher-paying brands, why raising your rates is essential, and the exact systems that help you scale without burning out. I’m also sharing mindset shifts, UGC tips, and business strategies that separate beginner creators from full-time earners.
If you’ve been stuck in inconsistent income or ready to level up your paid brand deals, this episode will show you what to focus on next.
In this episode:
- How to build social proof that attracts better brand deals
- Why raising your “floor” is key to earning more
- How tracking your time helps you scale faster
- The secret to consistent income: returning clients
- Systems that help content creators grow to $10K months
