What’s inside.
Nothing left to figure out — every habit, task, and milestone is already mapped. Add it to TXME and this becomes your daily checklist.
Daily habits
530 minutes studying winning UGC ads
Timer
Pull ads currently running in your niche from the Meta Ad Library. Break down the hook, the pacing, and the call to action.
Pitch 5 brands
Counter
Email or DM 5 brands you would actually use. Personalize the first line. Volume is the whole game early on.
Log every pitch, rate, and outcome
Counter
Track what you quoted and what happened. This is how you learn what to charge.
Film one spec ad or product demo
Simple
Use a product you already own. Every spec video is portfolio and practice at the same time.
Follow up with non-responders
Simple
Most brand deals come from the second or third touch, not the first.
Tasks & milestones
7Day 3 · 120 min · 10:00 AM
Build a brand contact list of 50
Name, product, contact email, and Instagram handle. Prioritize small and mid-size brands already running paid ads.
Day 5 · 60 min · 9:00 AM
Set up invoicing and a simple contract
Get paid like a business. A basic invoice tool and a one-page agreement covering deliverables, usage, and payment terms.
Day 0 · 90 min · 10:00 AM
Set up your UGC portfolio page
One page with your best 3 videos, your niches, and a contact button. Beacons, Canva site, or Notion all work.
Day 1 · 180 min · 11:00 AM
Film 3 spec videos using products you already own
One unboxing, one problem-solution, one testimonial style. These are your entire portfolio on day one.
Day 14 · 60 min · 3:00 PM
Review your first 50 pitches and rewrite the pitch
Look at your reply rate. If it is under 10 percent, the problem is the first line, not the volume.
Day 0 · 30 min · 9:00 AM
Pick 3 niches you actually use and buy from
Authenticity converts. Choose categories where you already own products and have real opinions.
Day 2 · 45 min · 2:00 PM
Write your rate card
Price per video, per additional usage rights, per revision. Decide now so you never negotiate from scratch.
