The audience determines the entire script. Before start writing, decide: Who is this for? What do they already know about their problem? Do they even know they have a problem yet? Why would they care about this product? Then choose the structure: problem-aware, problem/solutio /solution, storytelling, talking head, B-roll, etc.'.

Because have zero interest in filming the same ad twice. brief, Once the script feels like me and checks the send it to the brand. I'd rather make script revisions before filming than find out afterward that we weren't aligned. And once it's approved, build the shot list.'.

Ibasically have them all moving through the pipeline at once. Right now it looks more like: Script approval Ready to film Campaign 1 Editing Delivered Campaign2 2 Campaign 3 Campaign 4 Campaign 5 5 I Iprioritize based on deadline + brand responsiveness.'.

So before filming day: scripts are approved shot lists are finished Then get ready once and knock out as much as possible.'.

One line in the final ad might have 4 versions sitting in my camera roll. Ifocus on: record the entire talking head straight through for consistent audio film several takes of important lines vary wording delivery slightly grabe enough B-roll to have editing options check backgrounds, competitor logos, etc'.

It gives the brand more options if they purchased raw footage. And spending an extra 10 minutes filming can save me from an entire reshoot later.'.

May be a meme of one or more people, makeup, car, seatbelt, magazine and text that says 'I Iusually watch the final video 3-5 times before the brand ever sees it. By this point I'm checking the tiny things like glitches, audio alignment, pacing, awkward cuts, whether my delivery actually sounds like me, etc Then upload it through the brand's system or create α Google Drive folder for delivery. never want it to feel like I'm just delivering a video. I want it to feel like α collaboration and like working with me is ridiculously easy.'.

One thing I’ve learned from doing more UGC is that the actual video is only part of what a brand is paying for.

They’re also paying for clear communication, reliability, good judgment, and a creator who makes the process easier on their side.

Because even great content won’t get you repeat business if you’re difficult to work with.

The biggest shift is treating UGC less like “making content” and more like running a service-based business.

A good creator should mean fewer revisions, fewer reshoots, smoother communication, and stronger content.

My schedule is unpredictable, so having a process like this is what lets me keep taking on campaigns without sacrificing the quality of the work.

Follow along for more easy UGC tips that make building an income easier 🩷

Amazing! Thank you for sharing your process. When you started did you take gifted campaigns or did you jump straight into paid partnerships?

What is UGC? I’m a medical mom too and so nervous to jump into this but really am wanting to try. All of it seems very overwhelming. 😥
