We dive deep into the UGC business model, Amazon Influencer Program, and TikTok Shop to explain:
✅ What UGC really is (and what it’s not)
✅ How to land your first paid UGC deal
✅ The truth about brand partnerships and commissions
✅ Pros and cons of UGC vs AIP vs TikTok Shop
✅ Whether these models are saturated or still worth it in 2025
✅ And if you can actually make $1K–$10K/month from UGC content
