UGC jobs and UGC creator jobs you already qualify for
UGC jobs are paid campaigns where a brand pays you to make a video or photo about its product. The brand posts the job, you apply free, and the brand pays you directly. Pay, deliverable and deadline are on the listing before you apply. To apply: connect your accounts, pick a job you clear, and deliver through Socialync. Brands pay Socialync 5% of the agreed creator pay on organic jobs, counted when delivery is confirmed. You keep 100% of your pay. Creators must be 18 or older.

The board is open. Apply free, no portfolio required.
Four example listings, built from the deal types and pay structures the board runs. They are examples: the brands are generic and the pay lines show the structure with no amount. A real listing shows the amount, the deadline and the brief before you apply.

The X, LinkedIn and Bluesky APIs give Socialync no per-post view counts, so a view bonus, a rate per 1,000 views or a views floor cannot be met on those three. Any brand that hires you through the board pays you directly.
What every listing states before you apply
The deal type, the platforms and exactly what you deliver.
The pay structure and the amount.
When payment is due: 14 days after delivery is confirmed by default. A brand can set anywhere from 1 to 90 days.
The usage rights and the licence length: 12 months by default, 1 to 120 months if the brand changes it, and perpetual when the brand picks that.
Any exclusivity window. The default is none, and the most a brand can set is 365 days.
Whether a product ships, and the deadline.
What a brand sees when you apply
The follower count of each account you apply with, read from the connected account. Your bio and up to 6 portfolio pieces. Your record on Socialync: the share of your drafts brands approved, how many brands have paid you and how many videos you delivered. A creator with no record shows as New.
The brand's queue lists applications oldest first. Your record, your plan and your numbers have no effect on your place in it.
Paid UGC vs gifted
Brands pay for UGC with money, with a free product as the whole payment, or with a refund after you buy the product yourself. On the Socialync job board, every organic listing carries a cash amount and any product ships free on top of it. Refund deals are banned.

PaidMoney, on terms you see before you apply

Questions about UGC jobs
What are UGC jobs?
UGC jobs are paid campaigns where a brand hires a creator to make a video or photo about its product.
How do I apply for UGC jobs?
Make a free account, connect the accounts you post from, and open a job your numbers clear. Read the pay and deliverable, then apply. If the brand picks you, deliver through Socialync and the brand pays you directly.
What does Socialync charge for UGC jobs?
Creators pay nothing to apply and keep 100% of the pay a brand agrees to. Brands pay Socialync 5% of the agreed creator pay on organic jobs, counted when delivery is confirmed. Ads deals cost the brand 1.5% of attributed sales or 1.25% of ad spend instead.
Are there UGC jobs for beginners?
Yes. Brands set their own floor per platform and can leave it empty, so some jobs ask for no minimum following. You need no portfolio to apply, and your connected account stats do the pitching.
Are UGC gigs and UGC brand deals the same as UGC jobs?
Yes. Gigs, brand deals and paid UGC opportunities are all names for a brand paying a creator for content. Each one on Socialync is a listing with stated pay, a deliverable and a deadline.
Is a UGC job on Socialync a full-time position?
No. Each job is one paid campaign with a set deliverable, a deadline and pay stated on the listing. A free account works one job at a time, and any paid Socialync plan works five at once.
When do the jobs go live?
The board is open. Set up a free account, connect the accounts you post from, and the jobs you clear show up on your board.
Do I need a portfolio to apply?
No. Your connected account stats qualify you. Add up to 6 portfolio pieces if you have them, and they ride along on every application.
What if I don't qualify for any job yet?
Post from your account through Socialync. Average views come from the posts you publish through Socialync in the last 30 days, so a platform with no posts there reads as unmeasured until you post. Follower counts update from the connected account, so a job you miss today can open up later.
Does it cost anything?
Applying is free, to as many jobs as you like. Socialync takes nothing from what a brand pays you.
Do I need a minimum following?
Each brand sets its own floor per platform, such as minimum followers or minimum average views, and it can leave the floor empty. You see the jobs your connected accounts already clear.
What kind of pay do UGC jobs offer?
Organic jobs pay a flat fee, a rate per post, a base plus a view bonus, or a rate per 1,000 views up to a cap. Whitelisting and ads jobs pay commission only, with no base at delivery, for as long as the brand runs the ad under its licence. The structure and the amount are on the listing before you apply.
Who pays me and when?
The brand pays you directly, on the terms in the listing. Payment is due 14 days after delivery is confirmed unless the listing sets another date. US creators are paid on the Socialync pay page through Stripe. Everywhere else, you and the brand settle directly and Socialync verifies the delivery.
What if a brand does not pay after I post?
Delivery and payment are two separate confirmations. If the brand never confirms delivery, it is confirmed for you 14 days after you deliver, so a quiet brand cannot stall your pay. If the money never arrives, the job closes as unpaid on the brand's record.
Do I have to post through Socialync?
On jobs where you post, yes. Publishing through Socialync confirms the delivery and is how your views get measured. On jobs that pay for a video file for the brand's own ads, you hand over the file and never post it.
Are reimbursement deals allowed?
No. Buying the product yourself and waiting to be paid back is banned on Socialync.
How old do I have to be?
You must be 18 or older to take part in the marketplace.
The rules protect you
Reimbursement deals, buying the product and waiting to be paid back, are banned on Socialync. Delivery and payment are two separate confirmations, so a brand can't sit on delivery to stall your pay.
Every floor is checked against the accounts you connect, so connect each account you post from.
