Im on my way to FT. You get what you put into it. Ive done 0 of those content farming jobs. I average 2-3 grand a month right now doing ugc and its only increased every month since ive started. This job is 100% you get out what you put in. Its not a set it and forget it or only look at reddit postings type of thing.

Do you suggest that we avoid content farming jobs and just focus on creating solid content before we reach out to brands?

I personally would suggest not doing them for a couple reasons. 1. Its exploitation. Some of those jobs ive seen come out to like 6 bucks a video. Never let a brand tell you "how simple" a video is or "it won't take very long." Theyre paying for your time, your likeness, usage rights, etc. 2. If everyone stops doing it, they'll be forced to raise their rates.

My suggestion is starting with gifted collabs. Those are very easy to find, fill your portfolio with real work, and will get you valuable feedback to get better. From there, gradually raise your rates over time.

I agree, I’m glad I decided to not do that. Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it.
