Noob here ! How does a student get started in UGC?

Hey guys!

I’m an international student who recently moved to the US from India. I love creating content and want to monetize it while I'm here, but I have no idea how the UGC market operates in the States.

Back home, I used to cold DM brands on Instagram to land deals, and it worked pretty well. Do US brands actually respond to DMs, or should I be reaching out differently?

Also, I've been seeing a lot of UGC platforms mentioned online. Are they actually genuine, or should I avoid them?

Any quick tips on how to get started with pitching US brands would be highly appreciated. Thanks! :)
