We’re Niko and Jenna — a journeyman lineman and a stay-at-home mom living life on the road in our RV with our little one. We travel full-time for Niko’s work, chasing jobs and adventure wherever the road leads. Along the way, we discovered the world of UGC (User-Generated Content), a space where everyday people — not influencers — create photos and videos that brands actually pay for. It’s real, it’s flexible, and it changed our lives.
We get it—starting from zero can feel intimidating. When we decided to dive into UGC, we had less than 200 followers on Instagram and no audience on any other platform. But we didn’t let that stop us.
Instead of focusing on follower count, we focused on what brands actually care about: high-quality content that tells a story and connects with their audience. We created a portfolio, reached out with confidence, and showcased our ability to bring products to life through photo and video.
And it worked.
In only 4 short weeks our very first UGC deal came not because of who we could “influence,” but because of the value we provided. That’s the beauty of UGC—you don’t need to be an influencer, you just need to be a storyteller.
That’s why we created this UGC Starter Guide — to help you do the same.
