Building a Business Is Boring (Nobody Warned Me About This)

Everyone talks about making UGC videos, getting brand deals and making money online… but nobody talks enough about the BORING stuff that actually keeps a business running. 😭 I'm three years into my UGC journey, and today we're chatting about the not-so-glamorous side of content creation: contracts, perpetual usage rights, retainers, negotiating rates, knowing your worth and learning when to say no. We're talking about contract red flags, what brands can do with your content, why usage rights matter, how retainers work and why I sometimes turn down opportunities with brands I'd LOVE to work with. And honestly? I'm still figuring parts of this out myself. That's business, baby. This is Part 3 of my UGC series, where I'm sharing what I've learned from three years of creating content, working with brands and building a business while also being a mum. Whether you're starting UGC, freelancing or trying to build something of your own, I hope you leave this video feeling a little more confident about standing up for yourself. *Question for you:* What's one thing nobody warned you about when you started your business? I want to hear your stories in the comments. 🫶 Subscribe for more behind-the-scenes of creating content, building a business, mum life and everything in between.
