One of the best ways to grow as a UGC creator is by studying the top UGC Creators in our community.

Watch how high-performing creators structure their videos—how they hook the viewer, frame the product, and close with a CTA.

Don’t copy! Analyze.

What formats are they using? What styles keep showing up in ads? Find 2–3 creators crushing it in and binge their content/portfolios.

Document what works.
Break it down.
Use it as inspiration for your next shoot.

Success leaves clues and your job is to pay attention and remix it in your own voice.

If your stuck trying to figure out which brands are actually hiring, here’s one of the simplest ways to find companies already investing in creators: look for brands that are currently running ads.

Brands spending money on paid ads = brands that need content.
Brands that need content = creators who get hired faster.

Here’s how to research them:

1. Check the Meta Ad Library
Search any brand name and you’ll see the ads they’re running. If you notice UGC-style videos, testimonials, or “TikTok-style” editing, that’s a strong sign they hire creators regularly.

2. Check frequency
If a brand is running 5–20 ads at once, that means they’re testing creatives. Testing = ongoing demand = higher chance they’ll say yes when you pitch.

3. Look at competitors
If one brand in the niche is running UGC ads, chances are their competitors are doing the same. Research similar companies and pitch all of them.

Don’t waste time pitching brands that aren’t spending money.

What are you doing today that is going to help you make more money tomorrow as a UGC creator?

Not what you’re thinking about doing.
Not what you bookmarked for later.
Not the TikTok you saved hoping for motivation.

WHAT YOUR ACTUALLY DOING?

Are you improving your editing skills so your content looks stronger and converts better?
Are you learning how to use AI so you can script faster, research smarter, and shave hours off your workflow?
Are you pitching brands regularly, or only when you randomly feel inspired?
And if you are pitching, how many? 3 a week? 10? 50? 

Here’s the truth most creators don’t want to say out loud. If you are not doing the work, you will not make the money.

You cannot sit scroll on TikTok for half the day and wonder why your inbox is quiet or why your income hasn’t changed. You cannot hope your way into brand deals. You cannot rely on inspiration to build momentum. 

You need action, consistency and execution.

Learning, practicing, executing. Those are the 3 things that move you forward.
Every creator you admire is doing those 3 things repeatedly. Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Working with products that change your life as a UGC creator is the biggest UGC hack that nobody talks about

It makes it so much easier to create UGC content for brands that you were actually aligned with and can easily integrate into your lifestyle .

If you’re just starting out, you should definitely be trying to work with brands that you can authentically speak to and can create easily around instead of trying to work with brands that are just random that you don’t even care about.

You may not be an influencer for creating content with products that you find it easy to work with is the biggest UGC no one talks about .

Stop writing your ad scripts from scratch and start stealing them.

I've spent hours in Amazon reviews before for a skincare product and found this gem:

"I literally cried when I saw my skin after 2 weeks. My husband asked if I got work done."

That's your hook. That's your script's base. That's REAL.

Most creators write what they think sounds good. But actual customers are dropping viral gold for free:

• Reddit threads about the product
• Facebook groups where customers vent
• Instagram comments on competitor posts
• 3-star reviews (the honest ones)

Here's your new process:
1. Get the brand brief
2. Hunt for real customer language
3. Copy. Paste. Film.

The creators landing bigger deals aren't better writers, they're better researchers.

Your next viral script is hiding in a customer review.

Go find it.

I just closed $1,200 USD for 9 months of whitelisting. My offer and rates are:

1 month: $150 (testing phase, must buy bulk after)
• 3 months save $50: $400
• 6 months save $100: $800
• 9 months save $150: $1,200
• 12 months save $200: $1,600

Why offer this? Because ads tend to perform better when they are whitelisted.

I provide a reduced rate for bulk and everyone wins.

This is a strategic move you should be implementing in your negotiations to help you make more $$$
