How to jumpstart your career as a UGC creator in the Philippines

Are you passionate about sharing your creativity with the world but worried about the number of followers you have? It’s all gravy! 😊

Gone are the days when the number of followers defined success. You can now earn money without having a large fan base. When it comes to user-generated content (UGC), It's all about quality content and genuine connection. 💯

So, without further cheche bureche, come with me and let us explore how to make money through UGC, even with zero followers.

‍

In this article, you’ll learn: 

• What user-generated content (UGC) is
• What UGC creators are
• How to jump-start one's career as a UGC creator in the Philippines

Unlike influencers, a UGC creator is someone who is paid to make specific videos or content to be shared across various online social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook. 

You are creating videos that will be used as a brand asset. Hindi mo kailangang i-post ang video sa profile mo. In fact, you don’t need to post the video anywhere! That’s why your follower count does not matter at all. What you need to have though is the skill in creating content.

Here are some steps you can take to get started to jump-start your UGC career in the PH:

‍Identify your niche: Determine the type of content that you want to create and who your target audience is. Explore your interests and expertise; the world is your oyster!

1. Apply to Kamila: You have two ways to get started. Either you find your own clients or you go to companies like Kamila. Kamila will find your client so you can focus on doing what you do best - creating.
2. Create your portfolio: Show us your creativity! Your portfolio allows you to showcase your unique qualities, demonstrate your content creation skills, and highlight your personal acting or style transitions.
3. Start creating: You don’t need to start super extra! You may begin making videos with your smartphone camera, a low-cost tripod, and beginner video editing software.
