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.

Ever see a creator say they made $3K–$5K in a month with UGC and immediately think… what am I doing wrong?
If you’re trying to grow as a UGC creator, land consistent brand deals, or build a sustainable content creation business (especially in Travel UGC), this episode is your reminder that there is no magic hack — but there are three things that will change everything.
In This Episode
I break down the 3 C’s that help UGC creators scale their business:
1. Confidence
Stop chasing the “one hack” for success. The real key is building the mindset of a $5K+ per month UGC creator and trusting your own strategy.
2. Consistency
UGC is a business. That means showing up to pitch brands, film content, and work on your content creation even when motivation is low.
3. Community
Trying to grow a UGC business alone is hard. Having other creators for accountability, feedback, and support can make the difference between staying stuck and scaling.

30% off for LIFE — Join by March 31st: UGC Basecamp exists for the creator who knows she's capable of more but keeps getting in her own way — whether that's inconsistent pitching, undercharging, or just feeling totally alone in the process. It's the community that turns "I think I can do this" into "I can't believe this is my business now." Ready to start hitting consistent 4-figure months?
