Skeptical about that $15 "paid UGC" pitch from a tiny skincare label, turned out to be the most straightforward deal I've done
I almost deleted the email from a 2k-follower brand in Portland last month because the rate sounded too low, but they paid the $15 upfront, shipped product within 4 days, and never once asked for script approval, so now I'm wondering if small niche labels are actually safer bets than the bigger agencies I've been chasing.
Waited four whole days for a brand to ship product without a single back and forth about the script? That part blows my mind more than the fifteen bucks, since every bigger agency I have worked with wants three rounds of edits before anything goes live. Sounds like the small labels just want the post up and trust you to do your thing. Two thousand followers is tiny, but paying upfront and staying out of the way counts for a lot.
