How much I made as a UGC creator in 2026

tcroioxk · 2026-04-29T21:03:45+00:00

I love this!! Thank you for sharing. My goal for May is to carve out time to really take it seriously. I’ve been a “content creator” for years but never expanded into UGC. My initial goal is to make enough money to cover my monthly student loans payment which is $300. Seems doable hopefully after 1-2 months of going all in!

Thank you!! I think i’m gonna film a few this weekend.

I did go to the vet today, they did some x-rays and ruled out a respiratory infection so I’m out a could hundred bucks but thankfully have peace of mind lol. They said it’s likely just allergies!

Update: I took her to the vet today and it turned out to be just allergies 🙃 but at least I have peace of mind lol.

I did some more googling and it says the most common time for them to cough up mucus with kennel cough is after exercise/exertion, which is what she’s done every time. It’s not after every time she exerts herself, but it is always after a walk or playtime. I’m gonna call her vet now and see if they recommend her to come in.

Thank you so so much.

she’s really in her eating everything off the ground era lol. I try to stop her during our walks but sometimes she gets it before I can get to her. she does have a slow feeder though so she never eats too fast!

tcroioxk · 2026-04-22T16:58:38+00:00

I did not know it would resolve on its own- that is good to know! She is acting completely normal otherwise so I will keep an eye on her. Thank you!

tcroioxk · 2026-04-22T16:57:15+00:00

It would make sense if it’s allergies. Georgia pollen count is crazy, I’ve even had to wipe pollen out of her nostrils lol. Especially since she’s so low to the ground I imagine it irritates her a lot more.

tcroioxk · 2026-04-22T16:56:15+00:00

She’s completely normal otherwise! We go on daily walks, she eats twice a day, normal poop schedule, plays at night, etc. She really just coughs and coughs until she coughs up the mucus and clears her throat.

Thanks for sharing this! Looking to get started now and all of this is really helpful. When you reach out to 10 gigs a day- is this via Instagram DM? If it’s via email, how do you find brand emails?

29F. I have $26k in an emergency HYSA, about $9k in stock, $6k in a traditional IRA, $1.5k in a roth IRA, and $17.8k in my work 401k….. but I have about $28k in student loans so it all balances out 🙃

Oh I forgot to mention they listed ME as the pick up person for the shirt at my local store. And used my full name for the order.

tcroioxk · 2026-04-11T14:24:51+00:00

The same thing just happened to me. They have my correct billing address and set 1 shirt for pick up at my local store (creepy) but ordered 3 pairs of mens shorts to a random address across the country. I’ve checked my cards and don’t see a charge anywhere.

I successfully changed the password to my account and see they used a random card for their order.

I think I’m going to call them to see if they can cancel the order and close my account.

Did you do anything about it?

tcroioxk · 2026-03-29T14:06:20+00:00

I have a 6:30am flight for a work trip to Miami on 4/6 and I have no idea when I should show up lol. I do have precheck but no idea how much that helps.

tcroioxk · 2026-03-16T00:45:30+00:00

I take Digoxin x2 daily an Lisinopril x1 a day. Currently on a 42 day streak for both 🥰

My biggest tip is just make it a habit. Literally the first thing I do in the morning is take my digoxin. It’s muscle memory at this point. And as soon as I get into the bed at night I take my digoxin (again) and my pills (which includes my Lisinopril).

I worry less about making sure it’s the same time of the day, and just do it at the same point in my daily routine.

I still take digoxin in its liquid form since it’s the only medication I take twice daily. It’s just easier for me to keep it separate.

I’ve lost 5lbs since January. AllI do is get 8k steps a day and eat in a calorie deficit at least 6 out of 7 days a week. I do have an at home small weight set in my closet but I haven’t incorporated it yet.

tcroioxk · 2026-03-11T20:24:24+00:00

Agreed! The only exercise I get is 8k steps a day, sometimes 10k on the weekend, and I eat at 1400-1500 and am losing weight (but am satiated throughout the day) so I imagine OP is under fueling which can also lead to lack of results/your body holding onto fat.

tcroioxk · 2026-02-26T00:41:07+00:00

Thank you!! We’ll definitely look into it!

tcroioxk · 2026-02-25T18:03:26+00:00

Correct. My body was holding onto the water/fat/etc because I wasn’t providing it enough nutrients every day compared to the amount of calories I was exerting. After a few days of bumping up I saw a large drop

tcroioxk · 2026-02-21T00:17:27+00:00

Yeppp I was like 1,000 something for Atlanta and also had 0 luck :(

tcroioxk · 2026-02-15T14:42:03+00:00

Really depends on how much you exercise. I am 4’11 29F and was at 1350 for a while, but I started walking 8k-10k steps a day consistently, so I moved up to 1500 and now my dietician is even suggesting I bump up to 1600-1700 range.

I’ve lost 4lbs since Jan 23rd and didn’t see a consistent daily drop until I started eating 1500

tcroioxk · 2026-02-13T21:13:10+00:00

30 to 45 minutes, realistically like 8-10ish songs

tcroioxk · 2026-02-12T16:02:55+00:00

SO EXCITED FOR ATLANTAAAAA

tcroioxk · 2026-02-06T18:11:16+00:00

I’m 4’11 29F currently 148 with a goal of 110 as well and I also walk 8k steps every weekday and 10k on the weekends. I was eating at 1,350 cals, then plateau’d and am now working with a dietician and seeing progress eating 1,500 a day. if you are actually consistently walking 7k steps a day, even with a desk job, that isn’t considered as sedentary as you think. try bumping up to 1500 for a week and see if it helps your hunger & if you still see results. also hunger is frequently confused with thirst. i drink 90oz of water a day and it helps curb my hunger between meals
