Know exactly who to pitchfor UGC jobs in your niche

No more hashtags, open tabs and dead contact forms. Put in your handle and get the brands in your niche, with a contact and what they are already shooting.

Leave your Instagram and let's find you new brands to work with.

The gap

Most of your time goes on the hunt, not the pitch.

Where to find UGC jobs is the wrong question: most brands paying for creator video never post one, and the few that do were found by everybody else first.

Finding brands by hand

Hashtag, scroll, open a profile, check the shop, open the site, hunt for a contact page, land on a form. Then do it again.

  • · An evening for a handful of names
  • · No idea if they ever pay creators
  • · Most trails end at a contact form

About one in six brands you dig up is actually reachable. We measured it.

Getting them handed to you

Your niche, already filtered. Each brand comes with its Instagram and TikTok, whether it is putting video out, and a contact — so the first thing you do today is write, not search.

  • · A list in seconds, not an evening
  • · The five dead ends already removed
  • · Remote work, so location rarely matters
  • · Start pitching the same morning

Brands buy creator video every week — for ads and for their own feed. That need never becomes a job post.

What you get

On one card, everything you used to dig for.

Not a directory of every company with a website. Brands in your niche, each one carrying the things you would otherwise open six tabs to find.

Whether they actually buy video

Brands need creator video for two things at once: paid ads and their own feed. Both run every week. We show you what a brand is putting out and in which format, so you know there is a budget before you spend an hour on the pitch.

Their Instagram and TikTok

Handles and following, already attached. No searching the name to work out which account is the real one, and no guessing whether a brand posts the kind of UGC content jobs you want.

Someone to write to

Contacts, ranked. A named person beats a support inbox, and we tell you which one you are looking at.

Your niche, not everyone's

Twelve industries and thirty-four sub-niches. Skincare is not “beauty”, and pet food is not “pets”.

How it works

How to find UGC jobs in three steps.

01

Tell us your handle

We read your public profile and work out your niche and the formats you shoot, so the UGC work we show you matches what you already make. No connecting accounts, no permissions.

02

Get matched brands

Brands in your niche with their socials, what video they are putting out, and a contact — the research already done.

03

Write first

You have the contact and something specific to open with. No queue, no application, no waiting to be picked.

Versus a marketplace

UGC platforms for creators, or reaching out yourself.

UGC platforms work, slowly: you list a package and wait to be found. This is the other direction — the difference between hoping and working a list.

Niches

Buying creator video looks different in every niche.

Twelve industries, thirty-four sub-niches. The UGC opportunities in each look nothing alike, which is why a general brand list is close to useless.

Skincare

Routine clips and before/after are the workhorses. Brands buy in batches because they test the same claim against a dozen hooks.

Supplements

Heavily regulated, so scripts matter more than looks. Creators who can deliver a claim carefully get repeat work.

Athleisure

Fit and movement over talking head. Usually shot in daylight, and usually needs more than one body type per campaign.

Coffee & Tea

Morning-ritual content, and it runs all year. Small roasters buy less often but pay attention to whoever writes first.

Pet Products

The pet is the talent. Unboxing and reaction clips outperform anything scripted, and the bar for polish is low.

Home & Kitchenware

Demonstration first. One clear problem, one product solving it, filmed on a counter — the most reusable format there is.

Questions

UGC jobs: what creators ask before starting.

What are UGC jobs?

+
User-generated content jobs — you will also see them advertised as UGC creator jobs, UGC content creator jobs or UGC gigs — are paid briefs to shoot short video for a brand — unboxings, testimonials, tutorials — that the brand then runs as an ad. You are not posting it to your own audience and you are not being hired for your follower count. A handful get posted on job boards. Most are arranged directly between the brand and the creator, which is why searching for listings finds so few of them. What a UGC creator actually does →

How much do UGC creators get paid?

+
On public creator marketplaces the median package for a single UGC video sits around $110, with the 75th percentile at $150 and the 90th at $225. Rates go up with usage rights, exclusivity and turnaround. Most creators start well below the median and leave money on the table for the first few months. Work out your rate →

How do I start UGC with no experience?

+
UGC jobs for beginners are the same briefs as any other — the only difference is you have nothing to show yet, and brands want to see work before they hire. You need something to show, but it does not have to be paid work. Shoot two or three spec videos for products you already own, in the formats brands in your niche actually buy. That last part is the bit most guides skip — and it is visible in the ads a brand is already running. Starting with no experience →

Which brands are looking for UGC creators?

+
Published lists of brands looking for UGC creators go stale within weeks, and everyone reading them applies to the same names. We track which brands are currently paying for creator video instead, and refresh it daily. Enter your handle and you will see the ones in your niche, with the ad evidence attached. Browse brand ambassador programs →

Are UGC jobs remote?

+
Almost always. You shoot at home with your phone, upload the files, and the brand runs them. That is why remote UGC jobs are the default rather than a perk, and why the brand's location matters far less than whether they ship to you. Plenty of creators work with brands on another continent.

Is cold outreach to brands just spam?

+
It is if you send the same message to five hundred brands. The reason we lead with the ad signal is that it gives you something specific and true to open with — this brand is running creator video in your format right now. That is a relevant note to a marketing team, not a bulk mailout.

Is UGC a career or a side hustle?

+
Both, and the difference is volume. Most UGC careers start as a side hustle and turn into the main thing when outreach becomes a habit rather than something you do when the calendar looks empty — which is the whole reason this exists. You do not need a big following either way: UGC is bought as creative, not as reach — the brand runs it as an ad against their own audience. Video quality and fit with the format matter; follower count mostly does not. How to become a UGC creator →
