“Brands paid me with zero followers. By month three I had already crossed $5,000 a month just on Fiverr.”
Nate Flake, who did it in his evenings while still working at Intuit

How I turned a Fiverr gig into a lead source, so you're not cold pitching brands between meetings.

UGC creator · UGC 101 podcast host
In early 2024 I was a partner strategy manager at Intuit with an MBA, two daughters and a calendar full of meetings. A friend posted about UGC, I opened a Fiverr account, and nine days later a Ukrainian watch company paid me $80 for my first video.
I replaced my salary three months in a row, then gave notice on July 1, 2025. Everything I teach on Tuesday comes from what's working right now for me and our students.
