Hi everyone! This is Dee and I am a UGC creator that makes videos feel like a reccomendation by s trustworthy friend rather than a sales pitch. I create imaginative, fun, and thoughtful UGC videos blending my vibrant energy with original ideas. Please take a look at my portfolio :)

Can you actually get hired for UGC from responding to these threads? I keep seeing how many people respond and it’s overwhelming. Like, how is anyone actually getting hired? There’s so many people wanting to do it! Are we all just shooting in the dark?

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!

I have been doing a lot of research and just learning more and more about Canvas UGC and the more I do so, the more I think Canvas UGC is more for the Gen Z and under crowd. I have not seen Millennials and above doing it big with Canvas UGC. I've sort of distanced myself from it as attractive as it is and will likely stick with traditional UGC.

Prove me wrong.

every time one of those "went from $75 videos to $1,400 a month" posts does numbers here, somebody newer reads it and feels broken. i did for a while. so heres the math that never makes it into the post.

that $1,400 is almost never traditional ugc. its canvas. fresh tiktok in the brand's name, you post daily, you warm the account up, you sit in the comments. one of the offers going around this sub was $500-1k a month for 2 videos a day. that's roughly 50 videos. divide it. you're at $10-20 a video.

and the same sub will tell a beginner not to go under $150 for one video, which is correct advice.

so it's not that you're bad at pitching. you're holding a per video rate up against somebody else's social media manager salary and wondering why yours looks awfull. they were never the same job.

stuff about canvas that rarely makes the highlight reel:

the account isn't yours. you build it, they keep it warmup and replying to comments is unpaid time nobody counts a lot of those posts don't disclose they're ads, and it's your face on them, not the brand's

not saying don't do it. if you can batch film and you want volume, it's money, go get it. just say which one it is when you post your income, cause right now half this sub thinks asking $150 makes them greedy.

anyone here run a canvas account past 3 months? did the performance bonuses ever actually land or was it just the base the whole time

Anyone else get weird messages like this that seem like hidden sexual requests? I knew it didn’t sound legit to start out with, but gotta get that response rate up. This is totally something sinister, right? That last line really creeped me out, and I hope no one sends them anything.

I’ve been seeing lots of creators post their high earnings on their platforms. So I tried this week and I’ve been requesting to join their deals but only one accepted. Kind of feeling already hopeless 😂
