A Calm, Structured Path to Creating UGC Videos After 40
Learn to create videos brands actually need—even if you've never been on camera, feel intimidated by tech, or think you're too late to start.
If you’ve felt too old or too late — this is your starting point.
Stories from students
You've Been Wanting to Create for A Long Time
Maybe it's been months. Maybe years.
You've watched tutorials. You've saved posts. You've thought about filming a video.
But every time you get close to starting, something stops you.
The camera feels intimidating. You don't know where to begin. You're worried you'll look silly. You feel too old.
And somewhere along the way, you started believing that maybe this just isn't for you.
That creativity is for younger people. That by 40, you should have it all figured out. That if you didn't start earlier, you missed your chance.
But that's not true.
The desire to create doesn't disappear at 40. It doesn't expire. It's still there.
You're not too late. You're finally ready.
And this course? It's not here to convince you to create.
You already want to.
This is just the structure and support you need to actually start.
No followers required. No "quit your job" promises. Just a calm, structured path to creating UGC videos brands actually need.
Is This You?
After talking with hundreds of people over 40, I've heard the same struggles over and over....
- ✔You don't feel comfortable on camera — and the thought of filming yourself makes you freeze
- ✔You don't know where to start — there's so much information out there — you're overwhelmed before you begin
- ✔You're not tech-savvy — editing seems complicated — and you're worried you'll mess it up
- ✔You feel too old — everyone else seems younger — and you wonder if you've missed your chance
- ✔You're a perfectionist — and "good enough to post" feels impossible
- ✔You want to create something that's yours — not another job where someone else calls the shots
If this sounds familiar, you're exactly who I built this course for.
I've Been Exactly Where You Are
At 48, I got fired. Again.
I wasn't just unemployed — I was convinced the corporate world was done with me.
I applied for jobs. I got rejection emails. I drove Uber to cover the bills.
And somewhere in the middle of all that, I realized: nothing was going to change unless I stopped waiting for permission and just started.
That's when I found UGC — making simple videos for brands without needing a big following or fancy equipment.
I started from zero. I made videos. I made mistakes. I learned as I went.
And within a year, I was making a full-time income creating videos for brands like Dropbox, Ridge, BarkBox, and Kodak.
Not "quit your job and travel the world" money. Just enough to stop Ubering and build something I'm proud of.
Since then, I've helped hundreds of creators over 40 do the same.
This course is what I wish had existed when I started.
A calm, structured path. Real feedback. Someone who gets what it's like to start creating at 50 and worry you'll look ridiculous.
If you're ready to stop collecting advice and start practicing, this is for you.

Meet Your Instructor
Aloha — I'm Roby Brown.
Dad, husband, lifelong Star Wars geek, and a 52-year-old UGC creator.
For years, I tried to fit into the corporate world. I never quite did.
In 2022, I was fired from a job I hated — a job where I made the same video six times a week for a supervisor who constantly belittled me.
I thought I'd bounce back into another "safe" job.
Instead, I spent a year unemployed, struggling to pay bills, and driving Uber just to keep the lights on.
Deep down, I knew I was done with the 9-5 grind.
I wanted flexibility. Creativity. Something that was mine.
That's when I discovered UGC — making videos for brands without needing followers.
In January 2024, I put out my first examples. Within days, I was paid $1,200 for four videos.
The beginning wasn't smooth. I made plenty of mistakes. But every mistake became a lesson — and every lesson became part of a system.
A system that's helped me work with brands like Dropbox, Ridge, BarkBox, Harry's, and Kodak.
Now I teach people over 40 how to do the same.
You don't need to be a tech wizard. You don't need to be a "natural" on camera (that's not a real thing). And you absolutely don't need to figure this out alone.
You already have the creativity. I'll give you the system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this program for?
UGC Blueprint for Creators Over 40 is built for beginners.
If you feel intimidated by cameras, overwhelmed by editing, or unsure how to find brands — this course is designed for you.
How long do I have access to the program?
You will have lifetime access to the course.
Can't I learn all of this on YouTube?
YouTube is full of content, but it’s messy. You waste hours searching, wondering if the video matches your skill level, and jumping from one tutorial to another.
Most importantly, there’s very little content designed for people over 40.
This course gives you everything in one place, organized step-by-step, tailored for your needs. Plus, you have a community of other older creators (and me) for feedback and support.
What equipment do I need before starting?
The great thing about UGC is that you only need a few things to get started - a phone, tripod, tripod phone mount, a light (either a ring light or a soft box) and microphone.
You'll need a desktop/laptop for editing videos, writing e-mails, and creating your UGC portfolio. You CAN do that on your phone, but it's time-consuming and I do not recommend it.
The editing app CapCut is free. However, all of the features we'll go over are on the Pro (paid) version.
As an alternative, there's Wondershare Filmora. Equally beginner friendly - AND powerful, this editing software is less expensive than CapCut.
Some UGC styles require additional equipment - podcasts and in-car. It's not necessary to do this style of UGC video. However, knowing how to make them can land you more brand deals.
In the course, there are some websites that will be used to create your portfolio and locate brand e-mail addresses. There are free/trial options available.
