01In short
A content creator job is paid work making short videos for a brand: a demo, a first try or a review of its product. Some jobs pay you to post on your own account; others pay for the video file, which the brand posts itself, so your follower count doesn’t matter. Most are remote and paid per video.

Keep the samples where a brand can open them in one tap. The UGC portfolio guide shows what to include.
Brands post open jobs on Octoclip with the price per video, the dates and the brief. Apply with a short note to the ones that fit you. Applying is free.
Read the price, the number of videos, the deadline and how the brand may use the video. Your pay is secured when you accept, before you film.

Each video you deliver on time builds your record, which brands see when you apply. See how to become a UGC creator for the full path.
04Two kinds of job
Each job is one kind, and shows its price per video before you apply.
You publish the video on your own TikTok, Instagram or YouTube, to your own followers, and send the brand the link to the live post.
You film the video and send it as a Google Drive link. The brand posts it on its own accounts and runs it in its ads.

Find paid jobs08Avoid these
For UGC video jobs the brand posts your file, so followers don’t count. Start with samples.
Gifted collabs pay in product. Look for jobs that show a price per video before you apply.
Agree the price, the deadline and how the video may be used first. See the UGC contract template.
Views depend on the algorithm. A fixed price per approved video is pay you can count on.

FAQ
Straight answers about the pay, the work and the rules.
Filming short videos for a brand to a brief: a demo, a first try, a review or a story. You deliver the video file, or post it on your own account, and the brand approves it before you are paid.
On Octoclip brands post open jobs with the price per video, the dates and the brief, and you apply with a short note. Joining and applying are free.
Not for UGC videos: the brand posts your file on its own accounts and in its ads, so followers don’t count. Creator posts go on your own account, which you connect, and some brands set a minimum.
There is no set salary: UGC creators are paid per video, so what they make depends on how many jobs they take and what each one pays. On Octoclip each brand sets its own price per video and shows it before you apply. The UGC rates guide explains what moves the price.
Yes. You film at home or wherever the brief needs, and deliver a Google Drive link or a link to your live post. Some jobs ask for creators in a given country or language, which the job shows before you apply.
Anyone 18 or over can join Octoclip as a creator. You need a phone that films well, and, for Creator posts, a TikTok, Instagram or YouTube account to connect.
No. Joining, applying and accepting offers are free, and Octoclip takes 0% of your pay. Payment fees for sending the money to your bank come off each payout.
Your full pay is secured when you accept an offer, before you film. Each video is paid once the brand approves it, or automatically 5 days after you send it if the brand doesn’t answer.
A brand can ask for one revision per video, and only for a must-include point from the brief. You have 3 days to send the new version.
For some creators it is paid work beside another job, for others a full-time business. It depends on how many jobs you take and what they pay. Octoclip does not guarantee jobs or earnings: brands choose who they hire, and you are paid a fixed price for each approved video.
