Her first paid UGC deal was $50 and she filmed it on her front camera, so how did she end up with a $30,000 month?

Host Nate Flake brings on Christine Meier, a single mom who built a six-figure UGC business after starting with no portfolio, no money, and a nine-to-five in alcohol sales where she barely saw her daughter.

Christine filmed during weekend nap times and started pitching brands anyway, and if you're stuck on where to begin, you'll hear why generic emails got her nowhere while DMs finally got her replies, and what she did when brands asked for a portfolio and she had nothing to send.

She also explains how she studies a brand's Meta ads before she pitches and why she focuses on package deals and retainers instead of one-off videos.
Christine never gives brands a single rate, and what she does instead is something you can try on your very next pitch. Nate also shares how many pitches he tells his students to send before deciding it isn't working, and it's a lot more than three.
