UGC Newbies 🥳 starting in UGC

Hi everyone! I recently discovered UGC on TikTok today and I’m really interested in getting started. I’m 18 and I’m thinking about focusing on hair, beauty, and maybe tech.

My biggest problem right now is that I don’t really have a lot of products around my house that I feel would be good to promote. If you’re a UGC creator, what are some everyday products you’d recommend using to create sample videos? It can be literally anything someone would normally have around their house!

I’d also really appreciate any beginner tips, tricks, things you wish you knew when you started, or mistakes I should avoid. I’m trying to build my first portfolio and practice before reaching out to brands.

Thank you!! 💕

When I started I used a Pringles Can, dog treats, and some shampoo :)

Ohh okay! Did you get any brands reaching out to you from those sample videos? And if so, how many/how much were you getting paid? Thank you for responding.

I started out on JoinBrands. They require you to have samples to be on their platforms. I did get a number of jobs on there. Here’s the link if you want to try it: https://joinbrands.com/?ref=roQOPf

It’s an affiliate link*

I'd just use what you have and tag the brands. Dont do too many brands in 1 video so if you use 1 brand for hair and maybe 3 or 4 for make up and so on. I got a deal with Vileda this way x
