What they don’t tell you about UGC creators🤫
UGC has been talked about a lot lately and most of the time it is portrayed to be really easy and simple. Record a video and send it in, but it actually requires a lot more behind the scenes from a UGC creator. Sometimes, it can be very time consuming! Here are some things that people DON’T talk about when it comes to daily UGC creator work.
🌸Brand Pitches: These can take a decent amount of time. The best way I have found to do it is to pick a couple of brands you want to pitch to and write down what you want to provide for them. Incorporate this in each outbound you send to make it more personal for each brand. The less generic it sounds, the better chance you have of response!
🌸Negotiating: This was actually one of the harder things to learn for me! Negotiating and getting comfortable with money can be hard for a lot of us. This is such an important skill for UGC.
🌸The process: Believe it or not, we don't just pick up our phone and start filming. There is planning before each video is made. Not only that, the scripting and editing also take up a lot of time. It isn't as quick to make one video as it looks! Staying organized has helped me in UGC SO MUCH!

User Generated Content (UGC) is more than just filming videos and sending them off; it requires strategic thinking and effort. One essential aspect is finding brands that align with your content style. Create tailored pitches that showcase how your unique perspective can benefit their brand. Remember, personal touches can significantly increase your chances of a positive response. Negotiation is another critical skill for UGC creators. It’s important to establish your worth and set rates that reflect your experience and the quality of your work. Many creators find negotiating their prices difficult, but practice and confidence can make this process easier. Research industry standards to guide your discussions. Moreover, the creation process involves considerable planning. Before filming, UGC creators should have a clear outline of their ideas, which can include scripting for clarity and efficiency. Editing requires a keen eye for detail and the ability to enhance the story you wish to tell. Emphasizing a strong organizational system can streamline this entire creative journey, making your output not only effective but also enjoyable.
