UGC creators get paid per video, not per follower. Starting rates often sit around 150 to 300 dollars a video, more with usage rights and add-ons. The real money is repeat clients and packages, so deliver fast, make revisions painless, and turn one good job into a retainer. Charge separately for ad usage, that is where rates climb.
How UGC income works
Income comes from volume and repeat clients, not viral luck.
Charge per video
Price the deliverable, not your follower count.
Add usage rights fees
Ad usage is a separate fee and it adds up fast.
Win repeat clients
One retainer beats chasing ten one-off briefs.
