ABOUT UGC

 What is UGC?

UGC means User Generated Content.

It is when real people create content for brands, instead of brands using big influencers or celebrities.

📱 Examples of UGC:

A normal person recording a video talking about an app

Someone showing how they use a product

A short TikTok reviewing a service

A video saying “I tried this and here’s what I think”

👉 You don’t need many followers to do UGC.

What UGC is NOT

UGC is NOT:

Influencer marketing

Posting on your own page only

Needing 10k or 100k followers

UGC is about content creation, not followers.

How UGC works (simple steps)

A brand wants videos/photos

They hire UGC creators

You create the content

You send the video to the brand

They post it on their page or ads

You get paid

💰 You’re paid for the content, not views.

Types of UGC content

Do you need to show your face?

Face videos pay more

Voice-over or hands-only also work
