Abigail shared online a clip as she opened up about her UGC side hustle.
Talking about her income stream, she claimed, “UGC allows me to earn $6,000 [£4.7k] -$10k [£7.8k] per month from home with my daughter.
“UGC has been the biggest game changer for me. As a shy/introverted creator, being an influencer wasn’t for me.
“So I went all in as a UGC creator, and it’s the best.

“Free products, great money, work from anywhere in the world (usually from my couch).”
She then explained, “This is how I make money from home as a stay-at-home mom, and no, it’s not sketchy or a scam like affiliate marketing, dropshipping or anything like that.
“I used to think I wanted to be an influencer, but if you’re not new here, you know I’m a UGC creator.
“So UGC or User-Generated Content is where you create content for brands and they use it to display ads or post to their social media accounts.
“It doesn’t require a following – so I don’t post anything on my own social media platforms, which also means I don’t need a following to be this kind of content creator.
“So if you’re a stay-at-home mom or a soon-to-be mom, or if you have a job and you’re away from your kids and you really want to be home with your kids, turn to UGC or User-Generated content.
“It’s incredible: you can do it from home and be with your babies and make really good money as a UGC creator.”
In another clipAbigail elaborated on UGC, as she explained: “This one is for all my girls out there wondering what the heck UGC is, why you see it everywhere and how you can get involved in it too.
You don’t need followers for it

“I have been doing UGC for over five years now, even before it was called UGC, and it is perfect for me as I am an introvert and don’t like to spend a lot of time on social media.
“So even though I always wanted to be an influencer, the time spent on social media was way too much for me – and then I had a child and that made it even worse.
“I went full time [with UGC] because I got fired, but that’s neither here nor there. I am now a full-time UGC creator. So let’s talk about what it is.
The brand buys the content from you, but you never have to post it on your own page

“UGC stands for User-Generated Content, and it’s where you create content that brands can post on their social media or run as paid ads.
“So you know when you’re scrolling through TikTok and you see a video that looks like an influencer is naturally sharing about a product, but then you see it’s a sponsored post – that’s UGC.
“The brand buys the content from you, but you never have to post it on your own page.”
Abigail then claimed: “So you can be really good at creating content and you don’t have to have a following.
“If you are a creator and enjoy being creative, don’t want to spend your whole life on social media, then give UGC a chance. It is awesome.”
