# Get Paid as a UGC Creator

## Make content brands will pay for, with the phone you already have

Brands need a steady supply of short, honest videos that look like they were made by a real customer, because that is the content people trust and watch. This kind of video is called user-generated content (UGC), and brands pay [creators](https://deegeet.com/creators/) to make it.

This course teaches you to make it properly, step by step. You don’t need a big following, expensive equipment or editing experience. You need a phone, good light and the method in these 10 lessons.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is UGC?

User-generated content (UGC) is content that looks like it was made by a real customer rather than the brand, such as an honest unboxing or review video. Brands pay creators to make it because people trust it more than traditional adverts.

### Do I need a lot of followers to take this course?

No. Brands hiring UGC creators pay for the quality of the video, not your follower count. The course shows you how to build a portfolio even if you are starting from zero.

### What equipment do I need?

Just a smartphone with a working camera and a free editing app such as CapCut or VN. A cheap tripod and a clip-on microphone help, but they are optional.

### How long is the course?

There are 10 short lessons. Each one ends with a practical task, so plan about an hour per lesson including the task.

### Will I get paid work after the course?

The course prepares you to apply to DeeGeet Creators, where brands can book you directly and post briefs for creators. Bookings depend on your portfolio, profile and the brands on the platform, so no income is guaranteed.

### Is this course for beginners?

Yes. It starts from the basics and explains everything step by step. Existing creators will also benefit from the lessons on briefs, pricing and usage rights.

### What will I have at the end of the course?

Three portfolio videos in different formats, a price list for your content, and a completed DeeGeet Creators application or profile.

### How long do I have access to the course?

Once you enrol, the lessons stay in your DeeGeet dashboard, so you can go through them at your own pace.
