I charge €450 for 1 UGC video now… and that honestly used to scare me SO much 😭 When I started UGC, I charged €100 per video. Then €150. Then €200. Then €250. Then €300. And every single time I wanted to raise my rates, I had this fear of: “What if brands stop working with me?” But over the past few years, I’ve grown SO much as a creator. My videos got better. my editing got better. I understand marketing way more now. I know how to create content that actually converts. I’ve worked with big brands. I get consistent inbound requests. And honestly… I’m fully booked a lot of the time. At one point I realised I can’t keep growing by just taking on more work. There are only so many videos I can film, edit, revise, and deliver in a week before I completely burn myself out 😅 So the only thing that really made sense anymore was increasing my rates. And yes… that did mean losing some clients. Some brands that loved working with me at €200 suddenly thought I was “too expensive” at €450. But at the exact same time, new brands came in that literally didn’t even question the price. That was such a mindset shift for me. not every client is meant to stay with you forever as you grow. And sometimes raising your rates is exactly what helps you attract the clients that actually match the level you’re at now. Also I’m not sharing this to say everyone should charge €450. This is just where I’m currently at after years of building experience, improving my skills, and learning the industry. But I do hope it encourages some of you to stop undercharging yourselves 🤍 👇What’s your current starting rate for 1 UGC video?

Hello! Need some help 👇 I'm kind of freelancing for a smaller brand, with no set hours and very sporadic. So recently I covered an event they did and did photos and videos (phone, DSLR and drone) and then created 4ish reels (two with VO tailored to the brand)... the initial payment agreement was 10/h since I was supposed to help with social media so it seemed more like a weekly job. I now only worked on the reels and some extra editing for the owner and I did roughly 13h of work that week, but can only charge 130€ for it. Fair point for what we agreed, but how much should I do it in the future so I don't undervalue myself, as this is non sustainable? A package for an event? Like coverage on the day + 3 reels, 20 photos for XY? I don't want to overdo it as I love te work and the brand and I know they don't have much budget but want it to make sense ofc. Any insight greatly appreciated 🙏 thank you💛

Hi everyone! I'm very new here and the whole UGC world but I am also very excited as its something that I've always wanted to get into! I look forward to connect with few other beginners to be each others accountability buddies and proceed in this journey together! :) Im based in Italy, so would love to get connected with other Italy and EU based creators mainly to understand the rules and taxes as well! Lastly, thankyou for all the guidance Nyomi! Everything seems very useful! Best wishes to everyone, Neo

Hello everyone, I am Mabel from the UK. Been doing tiktok shop affiliate and digital marketing, however UGC is not far off from tiktokshop affiliate in terms of reviewing product and getting collaboration. However, my challenge and question is around editing skills. Is it a must in terms of product photography?
