Welcome to the side of the internet where we get paid to travel. In this podcast, I will teach you how to create UGC content so you can work part-time creating fun content and spend the majority of your days exploring the world, rather than sitting at a desk. All while making MORE money than we did at our soul-sucking 9-5. Does that sound like a dream? Well, it’s my reality and it can be yours too.


I’m your host Maddy Garrett, your UGC Travel Bestie. I help everyday people just like you start their own UGC digital nomad business so that they can achieve this kind of life-changing freedom, too. I’ve taught over 2,000 students in my Masterclasses, Programs, and 1:1 Coaching, and I educate my audience of 40,000+ ambitious dreamers daily on social media.


So tune in every week so you can quit your job and start getting paid to travel.

  • 45: These 3 Things will Get You to $5k Months as A UGC Creator (+ New UGC Community Launch)!!
    Mar 9 2026

    Join UGC Basecamp as a founding member (discount code in episode!!)

    Ever see a creator say they made $3K–$5K in a month with UGC and immediately think… what am I doing wrong?

    If you’re trying to grow as a UGC creator, land consistent brand deals, or build a sustainable content creation business (especially in Travel UGC), this episode is your reminder that there is no magic hack — but there are three things that will change everything.

    In This Episode

    I break down the 3 C’s that help UGC creators scale their business:

    1. Confidence
    Stop chasing the “one hack” for success. The real key is building the mindset of a $5K+ per month UGC creator and trusting your own strategy.

    2. Consistency
    UGC is a business. That means showing up to pitch brands, film content, and work on your content creation even when motivation is low.

    3. Community
    Trying to grow a UGC business alone is hard. Having other creators for accountability, feedback, and support can make the difference between staying stuck and scaling.

    Sign Up For UGC Basecamp – My new membership designed to help creators grow through confidence, consistency, and community.

    Inside you’ll get:

    • Weekly pitching hours
    • Group coaching calls
    • Accountability partners
    • Content review sessions
    • Creator community + in-person meetups

    Special Launch Offer

    You can join UGC Basecamp as a founding member and get 40% off for life.

    Use code: SAVE40
    Offer ends March 31, 2026.

    Want to get paid to travel and lock in free Airbnb stays or free hotel stays by this summer without being an influencer? Today, I’m giving you the exact 5-step method I use as a content creator to travel for free. We are talking about the 5 steps to get a free vacation with UGC and content creation.

    I’m walking you through the exact system I use to land free stays — and this is the same strategy my students use to secure gifted trips all over the world.

    We’re covering:

    • How to create hotel/Airbnb sample content (even if you’ve never done it before)
    • How to choose which stays to pitch
    • How to build a high-converting pitch deck (yes, I’m giving you the template)
    • Where to find properties to contact
    • What to say in your DM + email pitch
    • How to structure your content offer so it’s a fair value exchange
