Key takeaways
- You do not need a big following — you need clear, honest videos.
- Three portfolio samples are required before you submit your profile.
- You set your own rates; payment follows brand approval.
What brands want
Brands look for people who sound like their customers. Natural delivery in your own dialect, good light and clear sound matter more than editing tricks.
Build your portfolio
- One talking-to-camera review.
- One unboxing or hands-only demo.
- One short story with a strong first line.
Setting your rates
Set a price per video, then add-ons for raw footage, extra hooks or rush delivery. Usage rights are priced per offer — longer and paid use is worth more.
Getting paid
The brand pays before you film: by card in self-serve, with the payment held by UGC MENA, or by invoice for managed campaigns. After the brand approves, your fee goes to your UGC MENA wallet. Withdraw by bank transfer in USD in Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain or Oman, from US$100; our finance team reviews each withdrawal.
