  • 25: How Lana Went from $292 to $3,600/Month with UGC (While Doing Van-Life)
    Oct 13 2025

    Today we are sitting down with my UGC student Lana to unpack how she went from seasonal work to building a thriving UGC (user-generated content) business that funds her travels across the U.S.

    She shares how she started small — filming $50 videos from her RV — and grew her confidence, her client base, and her income to over $3,600 a month within three months. We talk about the real journey of becoming a content creator, the power of mindset, and the practical tools that helped Lana stay consistent and focused.

    If you’ve been dreaming of getting paid to travel, this episode will show you how to turn that dream into reality — without needing to become a full-time influencer.

    We dive into:

    • You don’t need to be an influencer to make money online as a UGC creator.
    • $50 gigs can turn into $500+ deals when you build relationships and stay professional.
    • Confidence grows from action — not perfection.
    • UGC can give you freedom, flexibility, and a way to get paid to travel.

    Resources Mentioned:

    • $100M Offers by Alex Hormozi
    • UGC Platforms: Billo, Fiverr, JoinBrands, Cohley
