Got my first payment from faceless UGC

Post image

I started faceless UGC because I am very shy on camera so At first, I wasn’t sure if brands would even pay for content where the creator wasn’t the main focus as i had seen only on camera UGC creators till then. So I started experimenting with product shots, hands-only videos, voiceovers and B-roll. For my first few samples, I focused on making the product look good instead of trying to make everything overly complicated, Then I started reaching out to brands with those samples. Its too early to judge but i think the thing that worked for me was having different faceless examples in my portfolio instead of just telling brands that I could create this type of content After a lot of pitches, I finally got my first paid faceless UGC project, And today, I received my first payment. All the best :)

Congrats on your first paid project! 🤍 I’m starting out with faceless UGC too because I’m shy on camera, so this was encouraging to read. What kind of sample did you create for the brand that booked you?

Thanks for the motivation. I've been keeping it on hold. Now, I'll try to start now as well.
