UGC means user generated content. It is a new way of marketing, and it is increasingly requested by companies because what makes their product/service true and authentic is that it is used and recommended by real users.

This is why brands are looking for UGC creators more and more. Becoming a UGC creator means receiving products for free, recording content and getting paid.

What do you need to become a good UGC creator?

The important thing is to understand which audience you want to address, so you can get in touch with the demographic target of the brand you want to collaborate with. Analyzing other UGC creators in the same niche can help you understand how to use the tone of voice of the brand that commissions your content, while remaining authentic.
