Work With Me- User Generated Content

Let me promote your products and services!

User-generated content is “winning”- according to Forbes magazine. As consumers are turning to authentic feedback and advice from individuals they trust online- as opposed to from traditional marketing created from the brand- UGC now plays an incredibly significant role in a company’s promotional efforts. The humanized approach, unfiltered content, increased word-of-mouth, and ability to share and save, all contribute greatly a company’s success in the modern day world.

With over 26,000 followers on my Instagram, and an average of 25,000 views per Instagram reel, my dedicated following of bicycle commuters, bikepackers, bicycle tourists, and general outdoor explorers are eager to learn from my page how to best prepare for their next adventure. I’d love to work with you to help my community thrive in the world of biking, outdoor exploration, and travel.

A bit about myself, my values, and my goals:

I am a 24 year old bicycle commuter and bicycle tourist who began cycling as a means of affordable transportation during my college years, starting in 2018. When COVID-19 came and shut down the world, I was no longer able to row (my collegiate sport) or go to the gym, so I turned to cycling as a means of staying fit. Quickly, cycling became greater than just a sport. I spent all my free time cycling around Atlanta while the streets were empty. I would bike to parks, to Stone Mountain, and with new bike friends around the Atlanta area. I pushed my limits, began to memorize every road and bike path in the city- my mental map was unparalleled to my other friends. I was dragged to the campus bike co-op and quickly found myself a community of like-minded people. I learned how to work on bikes, eventually completed a bikepacking trip with a friend, then embarked on my first tour, biking after graduation in 2021 from Atlanta, GA, back home to Baltimore, MD. I then flew myself to Europe and spent 4.5 months of touring across 10 countries in the fall/winter months. I came home, started working as a community manager for a tech startup, and continued relying on my bike as a means of transportation in Baltimore in efforts to promote the car-free lifestyle. Since then, I biked across the USA on a group, supported bike tour in the summer of 2023, and across New Zealand on an unsupported tour at the turn of the year.

Living By Bike’s core mission is this: to promote and spread the joy of cycling as a means of transportation equality, mindful and eco-conscious living, personal freedom, and outdoor exploration in anyone’s local area or across the world.

I pride myself on fostering a community that welcomes cyclists of all kinds and skill levels. I share my successes and my failures. I promote diversity in the cycling world by sharing information about cyclists of color, bike scholarship opportunities to minorities, fat cyclists, queer cyclists, disability within biking and more. I have found cycling to be such a welcoming and kind community, despite some its stereotypes regarding typical “bro-culture” . Biking has become my home, my safety net, my people and my family. I want anyone who views my profile to feel the same for themselves in the world of cycling.

Pricing:

I would like to preface that do not do any work for free (exposure does not pay the bills, thank you very much! I only accept free gear if there is zero obligation on my end to create brand specific content!). The cost of my work depends on the amount of work desired, plus the size of your company (for smaller companies I charge less, for larger companies I charge more). The more you ask for, the more the price will drop overall for a bundle purchase (ex. If we decided an IG reel was worth $600 and IG story was $150 based on your budget, 1 IG reel + 3 stories would amount to $900 rather than $1050).

If you would like to work together, please email me at [email protected] and I will respond to you as quickly as I can (note: if I am on a tour, my response time drops drastically due to the demanding nature of travel and lack of cell service).

Thank you so much for reading!
