How to Find UGC Jobs (Without Scrolling TikTok All Day)

If you're a UGC creator, you've probably asked yourself:

  • “Where do I actually find realreal UGC jobs?”
  • “How do I avoid lowball offers and scam “campaigns”?”
  • “Is there a legit UGC job board brands actually use?”

Good news: you don't have to rely on random TikTok comments or cold DMs forever.

In this guide, you'll learn where good UGC jobs actually live*where good UGC jobs actually live, how to vet offers, and how to use the CreatorsKit job portalCreatorsKit job portal* to get in front of brands that are already looking for creators.

1. Understand what a “good” UGC job looks like

Before you start applying, it helps to know what you're looking for. A solid UGC brief usually includes:

  • Clear deliverables*Clear deliverables* – e.g. “3x vertical product demo videos” or “2x unboxing + 1x testimonial”.
  • Defined usage rights*Defined usage rights* – organic only, paid ads, whitelisting, duration, markets.
  • Real budget range*Real budget range* – flat fee per video, bundle rate, or monthly retainer.
  • Target audience + angle*Target audience + angle* – who the content is for and what the brand wants to push.

If a job post is vague (“we’ll figure it out later”) or only offers “free product in exchange for 5 videos”, you can usually skip it.

On the CreatorsKit UGC Job Board, we encourage brands to:

  • Add clear deliverables*clear deliverables* to every job.
  • Specify budget or budget range*budget or budget range*.
  • Share timeline and expectations*timeline and expectations* up front.
