What is UGC (user-generated content) ?

Also called: ugc

Authentic, native-feeling content brands pay creators to make for ads.

UGC (user-generated content) (ugc) — Authentic, native-feeling content brands pay creators to make for ads.

UGC is content made to look like an authentic user post rather than a polished ad. Brands pay for it because it performs better in feeds. Faceless UGC — voiceover plus product b-roll — lets you produce it without being on camera.

It's a popular income stream for faceless creators and a natural fit for e-commerce brands producing ad variations at volume.
