If you feel like things are slow at the moment as a #UGCcreator, remember this…
The end of the tax year is coming up, and marketing budgets might be low.
So brands will probably be looking to work with creators from April/May onwards - KEEP GOING 🙌 #ugc#ugccommunity
If a brand ever says, ‘We want you to make it viral’—remind them that virality isn’t a service, it’s a result.
What we can do is create high-quality content that connects. That’s what actually converts.
For any UGC creator who is wondering who you SHOULD NOT TO WORK WITH - here is a full list of 45+ “Twitter bros” who are THAT much more likely to offer you $150 for your raw footage and then use that footage to create an AI avatar of you without your permission

I've been browsing Backstage for UGC gigs recently, and I couldn't help but notice that many casting calls specifically request creators of 'white/European descent.' Why is this still happening? #ugccommunity#Backstage#UGC
Why are we STILL not paying creators in 2025?
I have over $10k I am hunting down from Q4 from clients who are ghosting.
The disrespect to creators is insane. Pay. Us. Like. You. Demand. Your. Content.
SOCIAL MEDIA = HIGHLIGHT REEL
People share wins, not the messy journey.
If you're a UGC creator feeling discouraged, remember:
the late nights + rejections don’t make the feed, but they’re part of every success story.
Keep going💪✨ #UGCcreator
If your being asked to retweet, follow, like and comment for a UGC opportunity it’s probably fake
Why would any legit opportunity require all this in order to review you as a potential candidate? … they don’t
It’s not difficult it review people in the comment section or direct people to a form
Most likely they are trying to fish for info to add you to a database so they can tell brands they have a roster while growing their account look legitimate
Be mindful out there!
Your reminder to charge high for raw footage.
I’m constantly getting the “it’s just raw footage you don’t have to do anything we edit it” emails.🤦🏽
Yeah alright but with that raw footage you can make…
- 100+ video versions
- significantly more income
- use my likeness and footage for ever
I will always charge more for this service. Don’t let brands convince you otherwise ✔️

Dear Creator Agencies,
Please quit requesting raw footage then ending your proposal with "We will handle all editing on our end so you don't have to worry about that!" followed by a very low offer.
While we can appreciate not having to edit, we are simply replacing that time by sorting through the content, labeling it all, and preparing it for delivery.
Additionally, more likely than not, we are over filming b-roll (which takes more time) to ensure you have enough footage to work with, rather than simply filming what we would need for our own concept and moving on to the next shot.
In the end - the time it takes to film & deliver Raw b-roll footage (which already has a higher price tag attached to it) is the *SAME* as it would take me to simply film and edit the concept myself. *TIME* is what we charge for.
Sincerely,
Every Single UGC Creator
