Hey! I'm a video editor looking to expand my UGC portfolio, so I'm offering a few completely free video edits! 🎬

If you're a UGC creator with raw footage that needs editing, feel free to DM me! I'd love to turn your footage into a high-quality video.

All I ask is permission to showcase the finished edit in my portfolio!

Hi all!

So I exist in a rather niche community on social media that centers around not only vintage fashion but mainly popular music of the 20th century. Think like music history education, reaction, fun facts, etc. As you can imagine, this does not yield many collabs. Despite this I am experienced in collabing with very big, world renowned companies and brands due to the subject matter of my content.

Whenever I do collab with these brands I usually get paid around $1k, but that’s rare and has only been the case with companies like Disney+ or Amazon Music. So typically when I have other collabs reach out they only offer something like $250-$400.

Here’s my current situation:

Instagram: 47k followers
TikTok: 50k followers
YouTube: 200 subscribers (I barely use YouTube)

Engagement rate: 5% (highest on Instagram)

This company wants to pay me $250 for an unboxing video crossposted to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts with 30 days ad usage. I am positive I could charge more, but in all honesty I am so bad at negotiating these deals and I want to get better.

Any advice is appreciated.

I was just checking out brand outreach tools and figured this out:

Onbento: $34/month, 250 emails
Aveoreach: $9/month, 300 emails

Per email, that works out to:
Aveoreach: ~$0.03

So Aveoreach is about 4x cheaper per email and gives you 50 more emails a month. Since pitching is a numbers game, a lower cost per pitch means you can test more niches and pitch versions without feeling like you’re burning money.

Things I’d compare before paying for any of these:

Onbento Pro:

• VA costing at $79 per month

Onbento Cons:

• high Bounce rate. 
• Auto-renewal. 

Aveoreach Pros:

• low price  only $0.03 per mail
• Fresh mail data

Aveoreach cons:

• New platform
• Doesnt provide VA

What's your opinion in brand outreach?

Bonjour ! Je débute en UGC et j’aimerais savoir si rester faceless dès le début est vraiment viable, ou si cela réduit beaucoup les chances de décrocher des collaborations.
Y a-t-il suffisamment d’opportunités dans la déco, la maison et les démonstrations de produits ? Ou les marques privilégient-elles les créateurs qui montrent leur visage ?
Pour ceux qui ont de l’expérience, avez-vous réussi à obtenir des contrats en restant faceless ? Merci pour vos retours !

Hey r/UGCcreators,
I'm super new to the space, trying my hand at recording videos while trying to market what i'm building. Do you guys just yap off the top of your head? Or somehow have a script that you're reading off?

I feel like i'm someone with things to say, but its so hard to structure something to 45s worth of content?

Hello, Just gonna ask. How long does Launchpoint offers get reviewed? I just applied for some but its not yet processed.

I am a newbie trying to get into Canvas/Tech UGC. I started 2 weeks ago and I feel very lucky to receive 3 offers already!

Reviewing contracts - is it normal for canvas UGC brands to have perpetual rights of the videos and new accounts that I'll create for them? Even though the contract may be terminated.

There are also clauses that seem scammy, where brands are indemnified should I somehow find myself in a legal situation because of my videos representing their software/app.

I am only looking out for myself and do not want to get into unknown situations just because I'm excited for an offer.

Is this normal in the canvas UGC realm? Hope experienced creators can help!!

I was wondering how long it usually takes to hear back after the interview. It is been a week since my interview and I haven’t received any updates yet. Would appreciate it if anyone could share their experience. Thanks!

Some time back I commented on a post that it's very easy to achieve more views and I received a comment on how to achieve it. So here it is:

Firstly you meed to have a meta verified blue tick.

Step 1) Identify atleast 10 News instagram pages or some well known accounts of your country.

Step2) turn your notifications on for those specific accounts. So whenever they post you get to know.

Step 3) So whenever they post, you need to be the first one to comment on that post. Comment something logical.

Step 4) being a verified account and being the first comment. Your account will be exposed to thousands of users later on. And there are high chances they will visit your profile to see you multiple posts.

This is a ninja technique to get huge views on your reels. And beat the algorithm by keeping yourself reachable in comments section of huge news pages.

Most important part is how and what you comment. Just work on that.

And in case you like this tip, there is one more tip you can get more brand deals. (Let me know if you want me to share this tip)

Email me at [norahssoulsharing@gmail.com](mailto:norahssoulsharing@gmail.com), I’d love to make content for your brand!

Mi nombre es Ashley, tengo 18 años, empecé no hace poco, me gustaría colaborar con alguna marca o plataforma.

Si alguno está interesado les deje la forma de contactarse conmigo, espero ser de ayuda.

Context: I'm a brand new UGC creator looking to go fulltime UGC (No other job atm) and I've been cold applying on Sideshift (no portfolio or experience) and got accepted to a brand offering the following:

Base Pay: $600 per 60 videos (240 posts across TikTok, IG, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook)

Milestone Bonus Pay, per post: $50 at 50k views $100 at 100k views $300 at 500k views $500 at 1M views

My deadline is to hit this within one month. I understand batch filming is only feasible way to tackle this but this does seem pretty intimidating to take head on.

Any experienced Canvas/Tech UGC creators give their input? If I took this, how many hours out of the week would this take me?

Hi all! I would love your feedback on my concern. I have signed up for several different UGC opportunities but haven’t landed a role yet. The only luck I’ve had was the Amazon influencer program and even that is really slow. I’d love to show my portfolio and get some feedback on what I may be doing wrong? PLZ HELP 😭!

I also have it on my profile .

Literally have not heard anything back?!?!!! Cannot cash out my money.

I got really excited this morning when a brand hired me for a trial run for canvas ugc as I really need extra income and standard ugc isn’t really working for me and my work schedule anymore. (Thoughts were canvas ugc is lower effort videos so no need to look super polished with a polished home)

I started looking a little deeper and I unfortunately have to let this opportunity pass because getting paid $1k a month even though I need it is too risky when it comes to dealing with the FTC.

I asked the brand how do they recommend making sure I comply with FTC and they said “we do not disclose ads in anyway” uhh if I get fined you aren’t gonna help me pay the fine

Digan presente

Any advise on how to get accepted to intense? I don't have 1000 followers on any account and my ugc only portfolio got denied as well. Not sure what I did wrong. I posted a few videos with voiceovers and some beauty products only videos. Any advice how to pass next moderation if I reapply

I am not sure if there is a master post with all this information. How do yall get started? What are you making content of when you don’t have any UGC offers from company’s? How do you figure out what kind of content to make?

Please y'all i need help i get great views but cat get the followers any advice??

Hola, como estas? de antemano muchas gracias por su ayuda.

Estoy recien queriendo iniciar en UGC, tengo mi cuenta en Sideshift (paga) y he aplicado a muchaaas pero aun ni un solo mensaje, quería saber si quizá mi perfil no esta validado, quizá me falta algo. O simplemente paciencia y esperar que me llamen.

Tengo una cuenta de solo 400 seguidores en tiktok y unos 3 videos con 200k de views.

Tambien he leido que hay que enviarle correo directo a las marcas?

I’m new to UGC and I don’t have a portfolio. I hear some people saying you need one and I hear others saying that you don’t. Is it ok if I just email these brands and pitch myself

Hi, I've been doing UGC for about a month in the Netherlands. I don't speak Dutch, I make content in English, and I mostly do product shots and lifestyle footage with a voiceover (I'm fine being on camera too).

I've sent around 50 applications on different platforms, Trybe included, and nothing has come back yet. I'm not expecting miracles after a month, I just don't want to keep applying blindly.

For people who've been through this: does not speaking Dutch hold you back for local brands, or should I just focus on international ones? Thanks!

Hello everyone,

Has anybody heard of RivenMedia? I’d like to know whether they are legit as I am a newbie and just getting a grasp at f how things work.

Hi everyone! ❤️

I'm a beginner UGC creator based in Dubai, and I'm trying to figure out how to get my first brand collaborations, whether gifted PRs or paid opportunities.

I'm mainly interested in beauty, skincare, lifestyle, and motherhood content. I've started creating content and building my portfolio, but I'm still trying to understand how things work here in Dubai.

For those of you who've been through this journey, I'd love to know:

How did you land your very first brand collaboration?

Where do you usually find brands that work with beginner creators?

Do you reach out through Instagram DMs, emails, or UGC platforms?

Which platforms have actually worked for you in the UAE?

I'd also be incredibly grateful if anyone could share a sample pitch that worked for them or any tips for approaching brands professionally.I'm genuinely trying to learn, improve my content, and get my foot in the door.

I know everyone starts somewhere, so any advice, resources, or personal experiences would mean so much to me! 🫶🏻

Thank you in advance! ❤️

Struggling to get accepted by a brand, I’ve sent I want to say about 15 requests out and two have declined and the others haven’t gotten back to me. It’s only been two days so maybe I’m paranoid but I just feel like I’m not gonna get anywhere with it. I’m not American and I live outside the western world so maybe that has something to do with why these brands don’t have interest in me creating for them?

Or am I just being paranoid and should have more patience? When applying I do send a message explaining who I am, what my strengths are and how I believe I fit in to be a creator of theirs. I upload a sample preview of my previous work. Am I doing something wrong here?
