Tip #5: I’ll never forget reading one of my student’s research papers about how women are perceived with and without make-up in society. Women are perceived as MORE COMPETENT when they wear make-up and less competent when they don’t. I am not a make-up wearer, but I will definitely be applying when making UGC!
I dont wear makeup and create ugc. Its about inner confidence. Do you stick to a skincare routine? Floss daily? Go for walks? Wear put-together clothes (like no yoga pants or wrinkly shirts)? Feel beautiful in your skin? When a woman puts intentional care into her hygiene and mental, this shows on the outside. No makeup required. No dressing up.
I need tips on farming creators and how much to pay for a spot or run of spots. Things like charging by engagement or follower count or maybe something I missed? I'd just like to say that your stuff is so actionable, it's a breath of fresh air.
HELL yes! you value is ANOMOUS AMAZING! but can i also request some geek stuff as reporting for excel or data studio plz for creative or social media report. dont mind if it's messy plz
Hey Dara love your videos!! it is Just next level Content🔥 Video Request: How to prepare your clients for Q4 (Creatives, Fb Ads, TT Ads, Social Media Content....)
Gold as usual, Dara! I'd like to add that even though we want UGC creators to be presentable and aesthetically pleasing, they should still feel homely/organic/authentic. I feel like a lot of time, creators try too hard to sell the product, which goes against the grain of UGC... So a final tip to add would be to check your tone. Listen to yourself after filming, and then reshoot or take notes based on that. Would you buy based on that testimonial? Why not? etc.
Great tips for UGC creators! A good hook and aesthetics are everything. Have any of you guys heard of the boost app social? It’s got some cool features to improve content creation for social media. It’s got templates, writing tools, and stuff to make your bio, caption, and description better.
Great video - learned a lot! I’m a former news reporter who has been doing VoiceOver and corporate video for a while. Just stumbled onto UGC work and I LOVE it! I feel like it is the perfect fit for the skills I already have. I’m turning 50 this year so thinking my niche is focused on a “mature” fit/active audience who cares about looking good and living well. Oh… And travel. I travel a ton! Many thanks for the great info
I’ve watched videos on CZcams for years. And I’ve seen all the ugc videos there is. I ha e never commented on a single video before - but this video was so well done! Good job girl!!
Yo Dara, I rarely comment on videos but I just wanted to drop a comment here and tell you that you're an amazing teacher. Thanks so much for all the marketing wisdom!
Another important tip is to shoot lots of product b-roll. And depending on the product, in different locations. Makes for many more options in your edit or compilations. And finally, get some stills or clips that can be used in stills (ie smiling to camera with product without talking)
Loved the video. Thank you! Little tip → Rename each of the video chapters so that they describe the tip. The simple numbering is of little value to the viewer. The chapter markers are also likely not getting picked up by CZcams (and google) SEO.
Lil tip for you, FCPX has a built in effect to combat the HDR colour issue. It's called 'HDR tools', lol. Just test what mode makes it look the most natural, usually HLG to Rec. 709 SDR works the best. If by anychance you get another UGC creator send you footage, and they used the HDR setting.
Wow GREAT video, Dara! I started making UGC a couple months ago and I love it! Always trying to better myself so your videos are gold… just found your channel and subscribed 🙏🏻✨
Hi there can you do a video on UGC again and perhaps also add how you send the video to clients like what platform to use that it doesnt lose quality like telegram or dropbox or what. Thanks
I love this. I already do most of these things when I create content. I did recieve a bachelor's degree in Television and Digital Media production so these tips are already instilled in me. I live in Brooklyn too and would love to connect!
Thank you so much Dara, I love your content ! Can you tell us how to find UGC agencies? I’ve been looking all over but it’s quite hard to find and I checked thesis and you guys have no positions 😞
Question for you? - If possible... We are a small prenatal nutrition brand. We have some UGC. .. But lately we've contracted out to get a few UGC videos complete. I know you stated you get dressed up. However, I "normally" have the people/models (?) shoot in the kitchen and dress down, light to no make-up. Would you suggest having them get done up, make up, clothing, etc? (based upon your experience) I appreciate your videos + your time and attention to this question. - Thanks!
Would you recommend using a phone rather than a professional camera? I lean towards using my camera for better quality but am wondering if a phone is more fitting for UGC content?
Would you recommend using a smart phone or if I had professional camera equipment would that be beneficial? Thanks for the great content, it's very inspiring!
Your UGC videos are dope. I agree with everything that you're saying except the 4k thing. 4k videos are a hassle to work with due to file size like you said. Plus all of the social media platforms will down res the video to 1080 anyway. Just seems like more of a waste of time vs the benefits.
Would you say these tips are the basics of using SEO in your ads as a creator ? Is this what that is about so to say , to optimize sales/ a good video ?
I’ve got Digital Marketing Experience (TikTok ad specialist for a Lead Generation company) and I’m also a UGC creator. But I don’t know how to find clients that are willing. Any tips ?
Hi Dara, thanks for always providing really value-packed content for an upcoming Media Buyer like me. I have a question foryou regarding UGC for more mature audiences. How would you go about sourcing UGC content for an Aussie skincare brand catered to women +40? I can't seem to almost any mature UGC creators on Twitter or IG. What would you do?
Your videos are AWESOME - I am new to your channel and have just subscribed. In the comments here you suggest capcut as an editor - I love capcut BUT in another video of yours you DID talk about editing videos in premiere pro... just wondering if capcut still get your recommendation?
Love the videos btw!! What is a good budget to get decent UGC content from creators if you have done all the research, have created a content brief that includes the script and shots needed, and you will be editing the clips into the final video, so all you need from them is to record the content?
Hello Dara! I came across your video and subscribed! I'm looking to get started as a ugc creator :). I have to ask you what kind of video editing system or application do you use? I saw a short clip in your video, but I am unsure of what to use on my end. Any info would be a great help. Thanks so much!
Hey, Dara! I'm going to try my luck again with getting a reply to my comment. If you find a winner in your creative testing framework, do you duplicate it in the existing ad sets from the core campaign? If so, doesn't this reset your learning phase? Or do you create new Ad Sets every time you find a winner? Thank you!
Can you do a video on how to film a tiktok creatives with iPhone? Because if I need to film in 4K I must use the main camera so I can’t see myself. How to resolve this problem? The front camera isn’t in 4K even in my iPhone 13 Pro Max bruh

Hey Dara Denney what kind of rights UGC gives to the partners
The video can be used anywhere any platform or specific?
No, I meant to run ads for our brands.

Oh yeah! I've been using boost app social for a bit now. It really takes my content to another level. The AI writing tools are a game-changer!
Yep! It's super quick and super handy. Saves me time for sure. 👌

How is your ugc journey going?
@graiernyfreelan169 really good!! I have made about 12k since I started
Loved the video. Thank you!
Little tip → Rename each of the video chapters so that they describe the tip. The simple numbering is of little value to the viewer. The chapter markers are also likely not getting picked up by CZcams (and google) SEO.
Newbie here. I’m interested in anything to with animals, hair products, makeup, clothing, travel, and organization. 😊
this video was incredible. Someone just reached out to me to make UGC content, so I'm really keene to do some good work. Thanks for this!

Awesome! Thank you

Could you talk a bit more about transitions and sourcing the ones that engage users more?
You gotta test a lot here 🙆
Thank you for this explanation 🤗
Would you recommend using a phone rather than a professional camera? I lean towards using my camera for better quality but am wondering if a phone is more fitting for UGC content?
What tools do you use to analyze competitors creatives?
This is excellent! ❤
Wow!! Is this content still for free?
Brilliant! I love ❤️ your videos!
Yes! Thank you!
I'm amazed by your content video after video. Thanks for this Dara!❤

You're so welcome!

That's a great point. But tbh, I sometimes like giving the clients the 4K videos... seems like better quality to them.
Great Tips
Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤
I love it!!!! American Brands like Brazilians?
Would you say these tips are the basics of using SEO in your ads as a creator ? Is this what that is about so to say , to optimize sales/ a good video ?
❤thank you
Thanks a lot ,how to find brand to pay for you (( which UGC platform do you use ,thanks
Your tips were helpful! Can you share your top 5 tips for creative strategy?
Thanks for the idea!
From what I understand you also need a contract to give to who you’re networking with, does it have to be from a lawyer?
I’ve got Digital Marketing Experience (TikTok ad specialist for a Lead Generation company) and I’m also a UGC creator. But I don’t know how to find clients that are willing. Any tips ?
Very helpful
Amazing videos sis 😊 very informative 📝
How do we join you as an ugc creator since I’ve done them for tons of major brands already through TikToks ugc program ?
Hi Dara, thanks for always providing really value-packed content for an upcoming Media Buyer like me.
I have a question foryou regarding UGC for more mature audiences. How would you go about sourcing UGC content for an Aussie skincare brand catered to women +40?
I can't seem to almost any mature UGC creators on Twitter or IG. What would you do?
I’m a 50+ UGC creator and would love to connect.
Awesome
This is great stuff.
thank you!!
Your videos are AWESOME - I am new to your channel and have just subscribed. In the comments here you suggest capcut as an editor - I love capcut BUT in another video of yours you DID talk about editing videos in premiere pro... just wondering if capcut still get your recommendation?
Yep! I use both.
Hey Dara, love your content! Keep posting great stuff, also, how do I become a UGC (content creator for brands)? Thanks
Coming soon!
What is the range of pricing for someone just starting out in UGC video creation with a brand whose signature product is in the $600 range per item?

I use CapCut! It's free :)
@@DaraDenney Thank you so much! :)
Hey Dara, I would love to hire you, how can I reach you?
Hey, Dara! I'm going to try my luck again with getting a reply to my comment. If you find a winner in your creative testing framework, do you duplicate it in the existing ad sets from the core campaign? If so, doesn't this reset your learning phase? Or do you create new Ad Sets every time you find a winner? Thank you!
Hey Claudiu, I'm working on a video for this.
But I don't dup the ad sets, I only dup the winning ad. And yes, it resets the learning phase. Not a big deal, though.
Thank you for the quick reply! Can't wait for the video. ❤
But how does that Work with the products you advertise ? Youll get Thema for free or you lend them ?
I’m looking to connect with nontoxic brands, does your agency have any of those?
Dara great video. I’m new to your channel. Question: what do you think a good CTR for FB Ads is?
I don't think CTR is a good metric for FB Ads tbh . It doesn't necessairly mean that an ad is converting.
Спасибо
4k and 60 frames per second
Honey, I would love to know, do you have any UGC Creator coaches that you recommend? :)
Is there anything you recommend for people who don’t have a lot of golden hour light in their apartments 😩
Soft box lighting which is relatively inexpensive
Hi Dara! :) Question - Normally, does the brand give a brief and the script/concept of the video and the UGC creator just provides the recording?
It reallllllly depends. Like, I work with brands where I make my own script. But at Thesis, we typically give the script/idea to creators.
Great content!
I would like to order a video for my startup. How can I contact with you?
Im really interested to learn this. So basically you can do ugc content about everything ? So i could do Ugc content about PC Hardware gaming etc ?
Yep, you definitely could. I would see if there is a market for it, like are there other creators already making that content?
I have a question , but y would brands contact a newbie when there are already so many famous influencers out there ??
$$$$$$$
Are you using an iphone 14 max?
I have a Samsung Galaxy. It doesn't have 4k but it does have 8k. Is that even better?
You should have the resolution settings in your camera app. In your case you can go as high as 8k all the way down to 720p
Can you do a video on how to film a tiktok creatives with iPhone? Because if I need to film in 4K I must use the main camera so I can’t see myself. How to resolve this problem? The front camera isn’t in 4K even in my iPhone 13 Pro Max bruh
I film alllllll of my creatives with my iPhone.
And yes you can shoot in 4K with the front camera.
Is it possible to hire you to produce ugc for a brand?
