What if ONE brand could pay you nearly $10k... and some of it was passive income?

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of my longest-running UGC partnerships—the kind of deal that feels like a paycheck from the universe. Yep, passive income with UGC is real, and I’m showing you how to make it yours too.

I’m sharing the real story behind a UGC deal that brought in $9,865+—and it's still paying me to this day with zero extra work. This deal literally funded my trip to Portugal this month. Whether you're new to the UGC world or building your content creator portfolio, this is your sign to dream bigger and pitch smarter.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How one cold email turned into a long-term UGC client worth nearly $10k
• The power of ad usage rights and how they can create passive income
• Why pitching outside your niche (like travel/outdoor) can seriously pay off
• The importance of following up, building relationships, and being your own advocate
• How manifestation, mindset, and saying yes to aligned opportunities brings magic (hello Portugal!)
