Starting UGC is stupid simple — here's the setup.
A no-fluff portfolio checklist you can finish in one afternoon. Just you, your phone, and stuff you already own.
Everyone overthinks their UGC portfolio.
Don't.
We're not aiming for perfect. We're aiming for done — so you can get paid.
Brands don't need cinematic.
Pro gear
Studio lighting
Real content.
Not a week. Not a month. Block off a few hours and finish it.
Products in your kitchen, bathroom, and bag are perfect.
Your first draft is what gets you paid. Refine as you go.
Everything you actually need.
Five pieces. That's the whole portfolio. Knock them out in an afternoon and you're done.
4 product videos
Short, simple clips of products you already use at home.
3 photos of YOU with the product
Real lifestyle shots — phone camera is more than enough.
3 product-only photos
Clean, in-focus shots. Natural light beats a studio every time.
A short “About Me” section
3–5 sentences. Warm, real, written like you talk.
A simple pitch video
30–45 seconds. Just you, on camera, being yourself.
Two kinds of creators.
- waits for the perfect product
- buys gear they don't need
- never actually posts
- films with their phone today
- uses what they already own
- posts the portfolio and gets paid
30 seconds. That's it.
Everyone freaks out about the pitch video. It's truly simple. Hit record, be yourself, end with a clear invite.
Hey, I'm [name].
I'm a [role], navigating [real life]. I create content that feels [vibe] and easy to trust — because I show up as my real self, not scripted.
If I can do that while [real life chaos], imagine what I can do for your brand.
Closed mouths don't get fed.
Scared money don't make money.
This is for you if —
- 01you want to make money creating content
- 02you keep waiting for the “perfect” setup
- 03you have a phone and products at home
- 04you're ready to actually move, not just plan
Stop planning. Start filming.
You don't need the perfect setup.
You just need to move.
Now go record.
