If you’ve ever wondered, “Can I actually make money doing UGC?” this episode is your proof. Krista joined the UGC Accelerator just two months ago and made $1,000 in her very first month—all through Upwork. Now she’s landed over $2.5K in paid brand deals and is turning UGC into her dream remote career (all while being a mom of three.)

In today's epsiode, Krista shares exactly how she discovered UGC, built her first portfolio, and landed her first $1,000 project on Upwork within 30 days.

We dive into:

• The step-by-step of how Krista landed her first paid deal on Upwork
• What types of UGC projects she took on (and how much she charged)
• How she balanced building her portfolio with being a full-time mom and small business owner
• The mindset shifts and “why” that kept her motivated through it all
