Content You Can’t Live Without

Social

There’s one type of content that’s more important than anything you could ever produce yourself.

More valuable than professional photos.

More valuable than polished video ads.

More valuable than the slickest copy you could ever write.

User Generated Content

Content created by your customers, your community, your fans.

  • The words they say.
  • The photos they take.
  • The videos they post.

It’s real. It’s raw. It’s trustworthy.


Why It Matters

n a world flooded with sales & marketing, people are naturally skeptical.

They know you’re trying to sell them something.

They don’t know if they can trust you.

But, they do trust people like them.

UGC is powerful because it’s not from you.

It’s from someone who has no reason to lie.

Someone who’s sharing because they want to.

Someone who shows proof that your product actually delivers.

And that social proof will sell for you better than anything you could create yourself.


Why It Works

Real user content is imperfect and messy.

It’s low production quality, casual, and breaks most of the traditional rules about branding and marketing.

But it’s those imperfections that make it believable.

When a real person shares their experience, people listen.

That trust opens people up to consider your brand in ways they otherwise never would.


How To Make It

Maybe you’re thinking, “I don’t have any UGC, how do I start?”

Or maybe you just want more user-generated content?

Here’s how you get it:

Create an experience worth sharing: Nobody shares boring things.

Make it easy: Remove friction. Incentivize sharing. Celebrate their posts.

Show that it matters: Feature their content. Thank them publicly. Make them part of your story.

When people feel seen, they want to participate more.

And every piece they create is another brick in the castle of trust you’re building.
