Today, I’m chatting with Ashleigh — one of my UGC Accelerator students who went from thinking about UGC for months… to actually doing it and getting results. We’re talking about exactly how she made her first $16,000 as a total beginner UGC creator, what’s working for her now, and how she built a flexible part-time income that fits around her life (not the other way around).

🌟 What You’ll Learn:

• How Ashleigh made $13K in just five months as a part-time UGC creator
• What it's really like filming UGC while doing van life across the U.S.
• Her strategy for landing retainer clients that bring in consistent income
• Time-saving UGC tips for working creators and travelers
• The underrated power of follow-ups (this one’s a game-changer)

💼 Quick Stats from Ashleigh’s Journey:

• ✅ $16,000+ earned in her first 9 months
• ✅ Averaging $3K/month while working just 10 hours a week
• ✅ Signed a full-year travel retainer with a dream RV brand
• ✅ Still working her 9–5 and running another business!
