If I had $0 to my name and wanted to make $10,000 by summer, here's what I'd do

You don't need loads of experience

You don't need to show your face

And following this setup thousands of people have made thousands of dollars

Here's the exact setup.

Step 1: Understanding the system

1.1 How you get paid

Before making a single piece of content you need something that pays you

That's Glitchy. It's the most cracked affiliate network out there that pays on average $0.80 every time someone clicks your link. No product. No customer service. No fulfillment.

Just send traffic to your unique link and you get paid. That's it.

1.2 The content side

You don't need a camera. You don't need to show your face. You don't need to hire anyone.

MakeUGC lets you generate UGC-style videos with AI avatars in minutes. Pick an avatar, drop in a script, get back a video that looks like a real person filmed it on their phone.

Traditional UGC creators charge hundreds per video, take weeks, and upsell you on commercial rights. MakeUGC removes all of that.

Step 2: The workflow for this system

Step 2.1 - Find your angle, then pick your offer

Most people do this backwards. They pick a Glitchy offer and then try to figure out how to market it.

Wrong order.

First go find what's already working. Open TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts. Find the top 10 videos in your niche from the last 1 to 3 months. High views, high engagement, lots of shares.

Watch them all. Find the pattern. What angle is the algorithm rewarding right now.

Then go to Glitchy and pick the offer that fits that angle. When the content and the offer are aligned, clicking your link feels like common sense.

Step 2.2 - Write your script

Three things and three things only.

A hook in the first 2 seconds that stops the scroll. Speaks directly to a pain point or creates curiosity strong enough that they keep watching.

A middle section that explains the value of your Glitchy offer simply. What is it, why does it matter, what does it do for them. Thirty seconds of tight explanation beats two minutes of rambling every time.

A CTA that makes clicking feel obvious. One action. Direct. Your Glitchy link lives in the bio. The last few seconds of the video tell them exactly where to go.

Using these instructions, ask Claude to write three or four variations with different hooks so you have options to test.

Step 2.3 - Generate your video

Drop your script and chosen avatar into MakeUGC and hit generate.

In minutes you get back a video that looks like a real person sat down and filmed themselves talking directly to your audience about your offer.

Generate at least three variations. Different hooks, same core script. MakeUGC makes this fast so there's no reason not to have options to test.

Step 2.4 - Quality check before you post

Watch it back and ask yourself honestly: would I stop scrolling for this? Would someone in my target audience watch this all the way through?

Not "is this good enough." Is it actually good.

If the answer is no, rewrite the hook, try a different avatar, tighten the script. Fix it before it goes anywhere.

Step 2.5 - Post everywhere

TikTok. Instagram Reels. YouTube Shorts. Facebook. Snapchat Spotlight. All of them.

You're already making the content. Reposting takes minutes. Every platform is another traffic source pointing to the same Glitchy link.

Create accounts on each platform. Spend the first day engaging with content in your niche. Warm up with a post or two before you go full send. Link in bio on every account. Post 3x a day minimum.

Sidenote: If you're outside the US

Target the US on TikTok. Highest paying traffic. Here's the setup I've used for years:

1. Purchase a residential proxy from Proxycheap
2. Factory reset your device
3. Sign up with a new Apple ID, disable bluetooth and Find My Location
4. Get a US travel SIM
5. Download Shadowrocket, input your proxy, enable it
6. Download TikTok and sign up

Check your FYP to confirm you're seeing US content. Takes under an hour. Done forever.

Step 2.6 - Iterate on what works

After one week look at your numbers.

Which videos got watched past the first few seconds. Which ones drove Glitchy clicks. Which hooks connected.

Double down on what's working. Cut what isn't.

Making money? Go harder.

Not making money? Is the content actually good by the standard above. If yes and still not converting, switch offers. Glitchy's success managers are free. Use them.

Why this works

MakeUGC content converts because it doesn't look like an ad. It looks like a person talking to another person. That's why UGC became the dominant content format, because AI just removed every barrier to producing it at scale.

Glitchy removes the other barrier. No product, no customers, no complexity. Just traffic and a link.

The combination is simple. Authentic looking content at scale pointing to a monetization model that requires nothing but a click.

Most people will read this and do nothing.
