Your lighting is doing you dirty. Your expensive camera cannot save a dark, grainy video. Face a window before you touch another piece of gear, please. Good lighting is pro-level content.

Homebody UGC creators when it's time to shoot outside the house:

Do you know which hook is working best for our creators these days? The CALL-OUT HOOK. Here are 5 examples! > I think you're making (...) way harder than it needs to be, and here's why. > If you're struggling with (...), you need to listen to this. > If you're doing (...) right now, we need to talk. > I want to talk about the mistake I see people making with (...). > Can we talk about why so many people are (...)?

The most common mistake UGC creators make when creating content isn't having a weak hook or bad editing. It's HOW they deliver each part of their content. So, if you want your audience to stick around until the end, here's how to improve your delivery at every stage: > The hook: Make Them Curious Build curiosity by leaning in a little, lowering your voice, and adding a pause. Make them want to hear what comes next. > The Story: Talk About Benefits, Not the Obvious DON'T narrate what your audience can already see. For example, if you're reviewing a sunscreen, you don't need to say, "I'm applying this cream..." They can literally SEE that. Instead, talk about the benefits. And don't forget to deliver your story like you're talking to a friend, use natural intonation, and adjust your pacing to keep things engaging. > The Result: Slow Down and Let It Sink In When you get to the result, slow down. Give your audience a moment to really process the main result and understand the benefits. More tips are coming your way. Follow along!

Save this post for later!

Bet we can all agree this is one of the best commercials of the year. Firefox understood the users' pain points and turned them into a nostalgic masterpiece by bringing back OG internet memes. People feel something, relate to the message, and actually remember what the brand stands for. Kinda miss when the internet was weird, personal, and a little unhinged too, ngl. 😭

Everyone talks about number hooks and curiosity hooks, but there's one type of hook that hits a little too close to home. The "when you realize..." hook. One creator pulled 53.8M views in just 5 days using this format.

"Find every little pocket of time you can and make the most of it.” Words of wisdom from one of our TOP creators, Mia 💅🏻 She literally doomscrolls on the freaking treadmill. Girl said we are NOT wasting a single second 😭
