You don’t need a huge audience to make money as a content creator. With User-Generated Content (UGC), brands will actually pay you to create authentic videos and photos, even if your social media account is private.
Unlike influencers who promote products to their followers, UGC creators sell creativity. You make content that brands use for their own marketing and get paid for it.
Getting started is simple:
-
Choose 5 products you already use and love.
-
Film short “spec ads” on your phone.
-
Build a free portfolio on Canva or Google Drive.
-
Pitch brands on platforms like JoinBrands or Fiverr.
Earning your first $500 as a beginner is completely realistic two or three paid projects can get you there fast.
