It’s Important to Interview the Brand
In my latest YouTube video (above), I explain how I landed gigs on popular platforms when I first got started like Bee Roll and Backstage. Today, I’ll expand on that by sharing tips on structuring your profile to stand out and how to diversify your portfolio to appeal to different industries. Plus, I have a special gift for you—a free asset with links to some fantastic UGC platforms to help you get started.
Finding Gigs On UGC Platforms
1. Create a Compelling Profile
- Professional Headshot: A clear, high-quality headshot can make a great first impression.
- Bio: Write a concise bio that highlights your experience, unique skills, and passion for content creation.
- Portfolio Links: Include links to your best work. Ensure these links lead to a well-organized portfolio showcasing your versatility.
2. Diversify Your Portfolio
- Industry-Specific Content: Create and showcase content for various industries such as beauty, tech, fitness, and food. Brands want to see that you can tailor your content to fit their niche.
- Content Variety: Include different types of content—videos, photos, blogs, and social media posts. This shows your range and ability to adapt to different content needs.
3. Engage with the Community
- Network: Engage with other creators and brands on these platforms. Comment on their work, join discussions, and build relationships.
- Stay Active: Regularly update your profile and portfolio with fresh content to keep it relevant and engaging.
So, with that said, unless you’re fluent in The Gilmore Girls speed talking, I would familiarize yourself with what you can realistically read within 30 or 60 seconds at a time. For reference, 180 words is HARD for me to read under 60 seconds.
