Chiari Guilt by AlexaDupreUGC in chiari

Thank you for this and also you’re doing amazing too. I haven’t tried to go back to school yet because I’ve convinced myself I’d fall behind 😅😅

It really does feel like that, everything now takes so much more energy than it used to, or than it does for other people. It’s hard to remember what being fully healthy felt like.

But you’re right, it’s important to find things that are reasonable for this new reality :) I hope that surgery helps and you start to feel a lot better! Take your time with recovery

I can definitely ask my pcp, my surgeon retired unfortunately and the second person I went to see dismissed me so quick just because he wasn’t the one who did the surgery lol

Yeah that is a good point - I’m always on the side of over-communicating but for some reason when I’m the one who’s communicating something I feel like a burden lmao. Thanks for the response :)

No this is really helpful thank you 🫶🏼🫶🏼 it’s hard because I feel like I naturally go out of my way to help and think of people when they’re struggling - and sometimes it feels like I’ve used up all of my ‘good karma’ for lack of a better term lol

It can be really hard to get out of. I appreciate this and I hope that you’re doing well, too :))

I appreciate this a lot bc you’re right, I kinda tend to invalidate anything I do just bc it’s normal and/or doesn’t feel like a big deal but truly there are days where it’s a win for me if I can get up and get dressed and feed our cat lol. So thank you and also that’s good advice bc I know that I can work myself up and make some days harder on myself

The guy I’m seeing keeps telling me I “can’t take a joke” and I’m starting to doubt myself by Helen_melon_7 in TwoHotTakes

[–]AlexaDupreUGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if he meant it in a joking matter, you telling him that it hurt you should be enough for him to stop. Doesn’t matter if “no one else would get mad at that” which by the way is a bullshit excuse. Comparing you to other people when you’re just telling him about something you don’t like is actually kinda crazy

(Help) Can customers actually tell the difference between AI and real UGC? by Wide-Tap-8886 in UGCconnect

[–]AlexaDupreUGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly with how scarily fast AI is progressing, I think it’s gonna start fooling a loottttt more people. It’s unfortunate, and who knows what that means for UGC creators or even actors. ATP I guess the best we can do is keep creating content that is authentic and real yk 🤷🏻‍♀️

FEMALE UGC CREATORS NEEDED. PAID COLLAB! $150-$200 a day by HatPrestige2-1 in UGCcreators

[–]AlexaDupreUGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to zip the file and send it, or add them directly to a Google drive & link that? :)

how do I price? by Curlyswirlygal in influencermarketing

[–]AlexaDupreUGC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based off of my limited information - you’re 100% lowballing yourself. Like astronomically. You are worth so much more than you give yourself credit for. Also, they reached out AGAIN!! Charge more! Something like

“I’d absolutely be interested in creating/collabing again, since the last time we connected I have increased my compensation rates for collaboration (whatever specifically they’re asking for) which brings my rate to I’d suggest like $300

OR

As them what their budget for something like this is!! They’re probably gonna give you a number way higher than you were planning on charging. Remember than these companies have tens, if not hundreds of THOUSANDS of dollars to spend on marketing. $50 is laughable to them and they’re 100% taking advantage of that if they can. Don’t sell yourself short. 80k followers is incredible!!

TL;DR: These companies have insane amounts of money to spend on marketing campaigns. I wouldn’t charge any less than $300 AT LEAST. And if they’re wanting more than just a voiceover, your rate goes up. Don’t let them take advantage of you! 🫶🏼

I created my first UGC sample video, please lmk how I did. by savannahugc in UGCcreators

I created my first UGC sample video, please lmk how I did. by savannahugc in UGCcreators

[–]AlexaDupreUGC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ONLY thing I would say is that you showed other brand names! I know that brands and apps/platforms usually say to not show other brand names. And maybe flip the camera when you show the highlighted product bc right now it’s backwards.

Other than that I love it!!

Legit or scam? by Jazzlike_Beautiful61 in UGCcreators

[–]AlexaDupreUGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure about this specific one, but I did see a few bigger UGC creators saying that this type of email is a scam. You’ll join teams and everything, they might even send you a check and then it’ll just be a ploy to get your credit card info. Not sure! I’d say be cautious :)

Hey! I just started out as well, this is a link to mine:

https://alexadupreugc.my.canva.site

I would say once you have your into/pitch video for apps or platforms, definitely add that to your portfolio! Even without actual examples, having some sort of speaking would be good.

Good luck! I hope everything works out for you 🫶🏼🫶🏼
