Make Money with UserGenerated Content (UGC)
On this week’s Wealth Call, I introduced Steven Conant, a longtime friend and successful UGC creator.
He and his wife started a few years ago and have since built a side income stream through Amazon Influencers and independent brand partnerships.
Let’s talk about TikTok Shop—one of the most significant e-commerce shifts happening right now.
TikTok has evolved from just a social media platform into a full-fledged sales engine.
If you can create engaging videos, you can move products—and earn money doing it.
Why is TikTok Shop such a powerful opportunity?
- It streamlines the buying process. Viewers can purchase directly from videos without leaving the app.
- It rewards engaging content, not follower count. Whether you have 10 followers or 10,000, your videos can reach the right audience.
- It offers built-in affiliate commissions. You can earn by promoting products—without managing inventory or logistics.
That said, TikTok Shop is a volume game.
Some creators are posting 40 videos a day to maximize sales.
That’s a valid strategy, but it’s not the only one.
Owning Your UGC Brand Is the Move
TikTok Shop is a great launchpad, but owning your content and brand is the real long-term move.
If your business depends solely on TikTok’s algorithm, you’re at the mercy of a platform that can change overnight.
This is why Steven and his wife shifted from platform dependency to direct brand partnerships.
Instead of chasing algorithm changes, they built The Whole Family UGC and focused on:
- Working with over 200 brands
- Charging premium rates for high-quality content
- Securing longer-term contracts instead of relying on unpredictable commissions
Owning your brand means controlling your income, opportunities, and future.
You’re no longer relying on a platform—you’re building relationships with businesses that need content.
The Perfect Opportunity for Beginners?
One of the biggest misconceptions about making money online is that you need a large following.
That’s simply not true.
The key is leverage.
Instead of spending years trying to build an audience from scratch, partnering with brands gives you instant access to a massive market.
Brands already have established reach—they just need great content.
That’s where you come in.
We covered this in-depth in Contacts: How To Build Your Network.
Collaboration accelerates success.
The fastest way to grow is by working with companies that already have distribution and funding.
How to Get Started Today
Steven laid out a simple process to launch your UGC journey:
1. Pick Your Niche – Choose a product category you genuinely enjoy. Tech, fitness, home goods, and beauty are all great options.
2. Apply to the Amazon Influencer Program – A TikTok account with some engagement will speed up approval.
3. Join JoinBrands – This platform connects UGC creators with businesses looking for content.
4. Build a Portfolio – Even a few high-quality sample videos can help land your first deal.
5. Reach Out to Brands – Pay attention to the ads you see online. If a company is spending money on advertising, they’re likely open to content partnerships.
Scaling Your UGC Business
Once you start, you can increase your earnings by:
- Raising your rates as your experience grows
- Securing ongoing contracts instead of one-off projects
- Delivering consistent, high-quality videos to keep brands coming back
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a big following?
No. Brands pay for content quality, not audience size.
- How much content should I produce?
Steven creates about five videos per week, earning between $150–$500 per video.
- How do I attract brands?
A strong portfolio speaks for itself. The better your work, the more brands will seek you out.
- Can I negotiate long-term deals?
Yes. Many companies prefer ongoing content partnerships if they like your work.

No. New brands launch daily, and all of them need content to compete.
