Yeah.

And so anybody can do this.

You can just approach a brand and like say the warehouse and say, I'm a UGC creator.

I'd love to make content for you.

I've had these ideas around this kind of concept that would be really cool.

I think it would resonate with this kind of audience.

And then they will pay you to make that content for them.

And they post it on their own pages.

You don't have to have a following to post it.

So...

Now, over time, I've built a following, which has been like a very small, but been really hard work as well.

Like I've posted every day, I think for three years or something.

It's, you know, it's been a grind, but now I'm getting opportunities to do paid content and things like that and to have paid partnerships on there.

And I haven't done so many this year, but last year I did a lot of events.

So I did events with Auckland Council.

And I hosted like nature play group events, Auckland Council paid for us for me and somebody asked to facilitate those together.

At the end of last year, I organized a Christmas party for mums.

And so it was basically to recognize, you know, the unpaid work that mums do.

If you're a stay-at-home mum, especially, you don't get like an office Christmas party at the end of the year.

And I thought mums deserve a night out.
