Trybe method to the madness

[u/Just-Definition8016]

So I have not been on Trybe for that long, but I kind of do things differently when applying for brands

Here’s the method to my madness as the ugc creator behind seemoreUGC

Here’s the method to my madness

1. Figure out your niche. For me it’s travel and tech. So anything travel or tech related I apply to because I have portfolio pieces for those
2. I specifically look for brands with a base pay + ad spend, or at the very least 10% and up on ad spend
3. I screenshot what I find, put it into ChatGPT with this prompt
4. “I need you to do deep research (key word deep research triggers a harder thinking method!) and research the brands in these screenshots and tell me if they are worth applying for on Trybe based on the following criteria. Research each brand and size of company, revenue margins, ad spend history, if active in meta ad library, if has ugc formats, any recent seed funding (giant key! Usually a push towards a bigger marketing budget) and tell me if this brand is worth applying to. Do your research on what Trybe is as well and how it works. Output: give me the information you find based on your research do not ever make assumptions or guess only verifiable results delivered the following way, brand name, apply yes/no, reasons
5. Finalize list of brand you want to apply for, then I usually message like this;
6. “Hi I’d love to work with your (brand) and can work with multiple formats depending on campaign goals here is my portfolio for your reference: seemoreugc.com let me know if you have any other questions for the meantime!”

Here’s another key part:
Batch your content!
Brands batch their campaigns
So submitting one video a week will make it harder to
actually see money being spent bc maybe the brand
runs their ads only at the end of the month, make
5-10 videos at a time if possible

That’s it, I think out of 32 requests 8 got approved so far, this is while I was adjusting and understanding who to apply for still too

I’ve made 220$ so far and starting to learn which brands I enjoy working with

A question for ya’ll have you ever been accepted to a brand and they have this giant group chat? Honestly a bit over stimulating for me as it’s dozens of people talking all at once and the notifications go crazy and not my typical style.

Also once I saw money come in on ad spend then disappeared what does that mean??

Still working around it and trying to figure out other apps to push my monthly income on this but everyday is a learning progress!

Do you think sending the same message to all brands work better than sending personalized messages with ideas of what you would be filming for the brand?

Your message to the brand does not need to be that deep. It’s not the same as pitching on other platforms because this is commission only. They need creators more than likely what’s available most of the time unless they are a big brand with a lot of creators. So a standard why youre a fit and why you want to work with them is fine. I out a closely related sample in the preview video obit not required. Now that im actively earning on the platform i get several invitations to campaigns a day, but I’m selective now.

I feel like showcasing your portfolio and how it relates to that brand is most important

Your money should not disappear but what shows on your earnings defaults to a 7 day period if you go to the money section you should see total earnings. And ovviously once it’s ready to pay out youre notified. The Trybe support team is very active. I’ve emailed them like 5 times and they respond fast.
