Get paid to make UGC for outdoor brands
UGC is content you shoot for a brand to use on their own channels and in their ads. It is not posted to your feed, so audience size barely matters. What matters is whether you can shoot something that looks real.
No follower minimum
The brand is buying the footage, not your reach. This is the fastest way in for a creator with a small audience and good hands.
Usage stated upfront
Organic only, paid amplification, or full buyout. Each is a different price and the brief says which.
Volume work
UGC briefs repeat. A brand that likes your work will come back monthly rather than once a year.
Apply once
Socials, categories and a couple of examples.
Take a brief
Spec, deliverable count, usage and rate, stated before you accept.
Shoot it
Usually on a phone. Polished is not the goal, believable is.
Approved and paid
No invoice, no chasing.
Do I need a real camera?
No. Most UGC is shot on a phone and it is supposed to look that way.
Does it go on my account?
Not usually. If a brief asks you to post it as well, that is sponsored content and it is priced separately.
Can I put it in my portfolio?
Depends on the usage terms, which the brief states. Ask before you assume.
