Scandi girl rule — fewer products, better products 🌿

Hygge is a whole philosophy and it applies to self care too. @estrid gets it 😌🌸

A series you don’t want to miss! 🤭

I’ve got zero experience, a vision board, and way too much confidence. What could go wrong??? 

I really didn’t expect this shelf I built to fit this perfectly but somehow I did?!

I didn’t actually cut the wood myself, I measured the shelf space and took it to my local @boysandboden and they helped me find the right material and cut to size 🙌

Don’t forget to follow @marlene.odegaard so you don’t miss what’s next!

And if you’re a home brand — I’m doing this whole bathroom, a dining room and a bedroom, so I’m open for UGC collabs ✨ send your inquiries to marlene.odegaard@hotmail.com by @marlene.odegaard

The two things nobody told me about switching to a subscription razor 😭

1- it’s actually cheaper than what I was buying at the supermarket.

2- it’s got no harmful ingredients that so many others put in their hydration strip.

Safe to say, I will never go back! 💞🌸

After a lot of time in my inbox as UGC creator, here’s what I look for when looking through my emails 🚩

🟢 Green flags

• They use your name and mention your actual content
• Clear brief, deliverables and timeline upfront
• They share their budget (or ask for your rates)
• Usage rights are spelled out
• The brief has a «don’ts» list, so you know exactly what they need 
• They mention a kill fee if the project gets cancelled 
• A contract before any work starts provided on their end, or that they’re happy to sign one provided by you

🔴 Red flags

• «We’ll send free product in exchange for…» with no pay. Which in my opinion is only ok when you first start out to gain experience
• Asking for unlimited or perpetual usage rights without being ready to pay what it’s worth
• Pushing you to buy the product first
• Vague brief, endless revisions, no contract
• Sent from an email address that doesn’t match the brand’s website
• Asking for any final or raw footage «for review» without watermark before payment is made 
• Whitelisting, Spark codes or exclusivity slipped in without extra pay
• Rights to use your face or voice for AI-generated content
• «easy to create» bulk packages of content that work out at £20 a video 🫨
• Pay-per-view deals with no base rate, so you do all the work and only get paid if it goes viral 

Any time I get an email through now that has any red flags immediately goes into my bin.

The audacity sometimes 🤦‍♀️😂

A good brand will always respect and recognise that your content has value ✨

The best way to spot a red flag? Know what a green one looks like on paper 📝 

Grab my contract template, the same one I use with my own brand clients who are happy to sign ✨

Episode 1: from part-time dispenser to full-time creator ✨

So here’s the plan: when UGC pays more than the pharmacy three months in a row, I’m handing in my notice 💁‍♀️

But first, chapter one: £3,000 from UGC before Christmas. Starting over from zero, today.

I’ll be sharing it all every Sunday: the yeses, the no’s, and everything I learn along the way ✨

And next week… the scariest email I’ve sent as a creator 👀

It’s all in the razor girl 🌸✨

If your skin feels like it’s on fire after shaving, it’s simply just cus you’re using a razor with one or two blades, no hydration too it, or even worse… a dull blade!

The good news is that @estrid makes it so simple by sending new blades to your door 📦

They come with 5 blades and a hydration strip that protects your skin 🌸

Cus there’s nothing worse than realising you’ve signed something completely against your favour when it’s too late 🥴

🌸 Scope of work: what you’re expected to deliver. This includes all the deliverables (number of videos, what platforms they will be used, length of video etc).

🌸 Brief: the brand’s creative direction. If they change it after you’ve filmed, that’s a reshoot, not a revision.

🌸 Revisions: where the brand gives you feedback on what they want to be changed in the editing process. I usually add one round of revision, and any more than that I do charge for.

🌸 Usage rights: how long and where the brand can use your video. Organic or paid? Always set a time. I charge 30% of my base rate per month for paid usage.

🌸 Perpetuity: they can use your content forever. Red flag unless they’re paying properly for it 🤷‍♀️

🌸 Whitelisting / Spark Ads: they run ads through your account. Which means they not only use your face, but also your following and brand. Charge extra for this!

🌸 Exclusivity: you can’t work with competitors for a set time. You’re potentially losing income, so charge for it.

🌸 Raw footage: unedited clips. Always charge for this too! 50% of base rate I would personally charge, as this is SO valuable!
	
🌸 Payment terms: “Net 30” means you’re paid 30 days after delivery. I always clarify payment before I sign anything. This is more typical with retainers and tbh if it’s a one off deal I always tell the brand I deliver watermarked content and remove watermark after payment. This just makes sure that I’m actually being paid on time.

🌸 Kill fee: what you’re paid if the brand cancels after you’ve started. No kill fee means you risk working for nothing.

Don’t forget to save this for your next contract, and follow @marlene.odegaard for more UGC tips ✨ by @marlene.odegaard

The days where only influencers with huge followings can make a living online is in the past ✨

Most people still don’t know the difference between an influencer and a UGC creator, but to put it simply;

As a UGC creator you don’t make money from your following, but from your content.

Which is why you don’t need a massive following.

Brands are not paying you to promote products to your followers, they’re paying for your expertise in creating content that converts for them ✨

So if you want to learn how to take your first steps into UGC, comment GUIDE and I’ll send you a free guide that teaches you everything you need to know to get started 🌸
