# How to become a UGC creator on Youdji?

> As a UGC creator on [Youdji](https://youdji.com), 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?](https://youdji.crisp.help/en/article/what-business-status-do-i-need-to-work-on-youdji-1glf9ck/) and [Which countries are supported on Youdji?](https://youdji.crisp.help/en/article/which-countries-are-supported-on-youdji-utz879/).

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](https://youdji.com), 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
