Common questions. Straight answers.

How much should I budget for UGC?
Start with $500-1,000 to test 5-10 creators. The ones that deliver great content become your go-to list. Budget $100-200 per video for decent quality. Below $50, quality drops fast.
How do I write a good UGC brief?
Be specific. Include: hook (first 3 seconds), key talking points, call to action, do-nots. Share 2-3 example videos. Tell them the vibe. Length, format, and deadline. The better the brief, the fewer revisions.
UGC vs influencer content. What is the difference?
UGC is content you own and run as ads. Influencer content is posted on their profile. UGC does not require a large following. You want good on-camera skills, not followers.
Can I use UGC content on all platforms?
Check your rights agreement. Most UGC platforms include paid ad usage rights. Some limit to specific platforms or time periods. Always confirm before running content as ads.

Tools are great. But you still need to make the ad.

Find a winning Meta ad, clone it for your product, and write the copy in one workspace. Plans from $81/mo billed yearly.
