How to become a UGC creator on Youdji?

As a UGC creator on Youdji, you can earn money by producing ad videos for brands. Here is what to prepare before you start.


1. A professional status that lets you invoice


To work with brands on Youdji, you must have a professional status that allows you to issue invoices in your country. Youdji does not accept private individuals. The status required depends on where you live: see What business status do I need to work on Youdji? and Which countries are supported on Youdji?.


A professional status lets you:


  • invoice your services legally
  • declare your income in line with the law
  • run your activity as a professional


2. Your portfolio: your shop window


To attract your first clients, you need at least 3 UGC videos in your portfolio. They let brands judge your style and your skills.


How to create your first videos without a client


You do not need to wait for your first order. Use products you already have at home:


  • Beauty products
  • Accessories
  • Everyday objects
  • Clothes
  • Food
  • Apps and software


The goal is to create sample UGC videos that show potential clients what you can do.


Tips for your sample videos


Choose products from well-known brands and take particular care of:


  • Lighting
  • A steady image
  • Framing
  • How the product is shown
  • Sound quality


Follow UGC codes


  • Short videos (15 to 60 seconds)
  • An authentic, natural style
  • A focus on the product
  • A clear, impactful message


3. Your prices: you set them


On Youdji, you set your own prices. So that clients get a clear view of your services, we ask you to enter at least 3 prices.


For example, you can offer:


  • A standard price for one UGC video with advertising rights for 6 months
  • A price for one UGC video with organic usage rights only
  • A better price for a pack of several videos
  • A specific price for extra options, such as advertising rights for 12 or 24 months


Get inspired by other creators: browse the profiles already on Youdji to see which UGC videos work, how portfolios are presented and which services are offered.

  3. Upload your portfolio videos


Goal: the better your portfolio from day one, the more likely you are to catch brands' attention and land your first projects.
