What is UGC?
User-Generated Content (UGC) is content created by individuals rather than brands. As a UGC creator, you produce content for brands to use in their marketing without posting to your own channels.
Why UGC is Booming
Brands are increasingly turning to UGC because it feels more authentic than traditional advertising. Consumers trust content from real people.
Getting Started
- Build a portfolio of sample content
- Create a professional website or Notion page
- Set competitive rates based on your experience
