📧 UGC Community #78 | November 10, 2025

That rush of excitement when a new collab request hits your inbox or you see a "creators wanted" post is one of the best feelings. In that moment, it's tempting to just type "Interested! DM-ing you!" and hit send.

But in that rush, it's incredibly easy to miss the red flags.

Scams, low-ball offers, and bad-faith "partners" are unfortunately common. The moderators of the r/UGCcreators subreddit just posted a critical safety guide that every single creator—new or veteran—needs to read.

It's a masterclass in protecting yourself, your time, and your personal information.

[THE DEEP DIVE] A Moderator's Safety Checklist for Job Posts

This fantastic guide comes directly from the moderators of r/UGCcreators, who see it all. It’s about slowing down, doing your homework, and ensuring every opportunity is a safe and fair one.

1. Protect Your Personal Information

Never, ever post your email address or other personal info in a public comment. The post warns that "Scammers often scrape Reddit for emails." Always use DMs to share your contact details after you've vetted the opportunity.

2. Know the Full Scope Before You Agree

Don't just say "yes" to a brand name. You need to know what the job actually is. The post wisely asks: If a company asked you to dress up in a clown suit and hop around the mall, would you do it? Probably not. Get the brief, the script, or at least a clear, detailed description of what's expected before you commit.

3. Know the Pay Structure (UGC vs. Affiliate)

This is the most critical part. Many posts are disguised as UGC but are actually something else. The post defines them perfectly:

  • UGC (User-Generated Content): You are paid for creating content. Once you deliver the work, your job is done.

  • Affiliate Marketing: You are paid based on performance (sales or clicks) through a unique link.

  • Influencer Marketing: You are paid to post content on your own platform to your audience.

The key takeaway: If your pay depends on sales, that is not a UGC job. It's an affiliate partnership, which carries a much higher risk for you.

4. Verify Who You're Speaking With

Do a quick search. Check the brand's website, LinkedIn, and social media. As the post says, "Real opportunities will stand up to a quick search." Be extremely cautious of anyone unwilling to provide a contract, use an official business email, or who insists on moving to Discord immediately.

5. Trust Your Gut (and Your Worth)

The moderators note that they flag offers under $100/video as "low-ball." You deserve to be paid fairly for your time, creativity, and effort. If an offer feels sketchy, unprofessional, or just "off"—trust that instinct.

[PRO TIP OF THE WEEK]

Implement a "5-Minute Vetting Process" for every new inbound request, no matter how exciting it seems. Before you even reply, take five minutes to:

  1. Google the brand. Does a real, professional website exist?

  2. Check their primary social media. Is it active, legitimate, and does it have any community engagement?

  3. Search the brand on LinkedIn. Do they have real employees and a company page?

This simple check will filter out 90% of scams and low-quality offers.
