I’ve been working as a social media manager and designer for over a year, especially with skincare brands, so I know the inside of how brands think, what catches their attention, and what makes them ignore DMs.
Most creators are charging money for this strategy. They’ll sell you brand email lists, workshops, or “secrets” you supposedly need to land UGC deals.
But here’s the thing, I’m giving it to you absolutely free. Why? Because when I started, nobody helped me. I had to figure everything out myself, and now that I’ve cracked a method that actually works, I don’t want to gatekeep.
Most UGC creators stay stuck in the “request” inbox, pitching blindly and hoping for a reply. Honestly? If you’re pitching randomly, your chances are 1 out of 100.
But with my strategy, those chances rise to 50 out of 100. I’ve used this exact approach to land multiple brand deals—and you can too.
👉 Step 1: Find the top 5 UGC creators in your country/region.
Every country has creators landing consistent deals. These are your roadmap.
👉 Step 2: Study their profiles.
Check their collaborations, especially the early ones when they were just starting out.
👉 Step 3: Build your own brand list.
Write down the names of those brands. These are the ones open to UGC.
👉 Step 4: Pitch those brands.
Now you’re not cold pitching—you’re targeting brands that already accept UGC.
