What is UGC? UGC (User-Generated Content) is when brands hire everyday people (not influencers) to create authentic photos/videos of their products that they can use on their own socials, ads, or website. ➡️ You don’t need a huge following. You just need content creation skills and the ability to showcase products naturally. 2. Who is UGC for? • Students looking for extra income • Stay-at-home moms / women working from home • Creators who enjoy photography, videography, or editing • Side hustlers who want flexible work without a 9-5 3. What You Need to Start 📱 A good smartphone (any phone with clear camera) 💡 Natural lighting or a basic ring light 🖌 Editing apps (VN, InShot for video; Lightroom/Canva for photos) 📂 Portfolio to showcase sample work 4. Skills to Build • 📸 Content creation basics: framing, lighting, storytelling • 🎥 Filming styles: unboxing, tutorials, GRWM, lifestyle shots • ✍️ Scriptwriting: short, engaging product messages • 🎨 Editing: clean, trendy reels that match brand aesthetics 5. How to Build a Portfolio • Use products you already have at home (skincare, makeup, coffee, perfume, accessories). • Create 4–6 mock UGC videos + 5–6 lifestyle product photos. • Put them in a clean UGC portfolio PDF (Canva template works well). 6.
