Creatorland Featured Tips!
How to make money creating content with ZERO followers 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

Have you heard of UGC Creators?
User-generated content creators are creatives who are contracted by brands to create videos and photos for the brand’s social media. Which means, you don’t need to have an audience of your own to make money.

The main difference between a UGC creator and an influencer is that a UGC creator sells content only, while an influencer sells content AND their influence of an audience.

Here’s how you can start today:
Build a portfolio of content. You can use any products, just start with ones you already have and love. Create high-quality videos and host them on a website, in a google folder, or use Creatorland’s project tool to build a professional portfolio for free.

How much should you charge?
If you’re just starting, don’t be afraid to accept gifted collaborations and start with charging $30-$50 per video. As you gain experience, raise your rates. The average in the space is $100 per video!

3 ways to find UGC clients:

1. Creatorland - We have hundreds of brands on who understand the value of content creation on our platform. Use the search bar to find and connect with brand contacts that you align with. You can use the messaging feature to build a relationship and eventually pitch your services!

2. Instagram Outreach - Instagram is a great place to find brands who need content for their socials. Use hashtags to find brands in the niches you love and reach out to them via DMs.

3. Email Outreach - Take it a step further and find the emails of the brands you want to collab with. Send them your portfolio and pitch your services!
