How to get paid UGC deals
You get paid UGC deals by showing brands a few short clips that prove you can make an ad people watch, then applying to campaigns that state their pay up front. Follower count is not what brands pick on: they are paying for the video, not for access to your audience.

The steps
Film three sample clips
Use products you already own. Make each one a different kind of ad: a talking-head review, an unboxing or demo, and a day-in-the-life clip. Three is what a finished Reyn profile asks for.
Put them on one link
Brands want one place to watch your work. A Reyn portfolio is free and hosted at your own link, and you can link posts from TikTok, Instagram and YouTube or upload video straight to it.
Apply to campaigns that show the pay
Pick campaigns where the price is stated before you apply, so you are not negotiating blind. On Reyn every open campaign shows what you keep.
Shoot from the brief
A brief says what the brand needs from the video. Deliver what it asks for, and make the changes if the brand asks for any.
Get approved, get paid, and keep the record
Each campaign you finish on Reyn goes on your portfolio as paid work, which is what the next brand looks at.

What brands look at
Your clips, first
Whether you hold attention on camera and whether the video looks like something they could run tomorrow.
Whether you fit the product
A campaign may ask for a country, a language or a kind of creator. Each one says so before you apply.
Your record of delivered work
Finished campaigns and brand reviews count for more than a follower number.
Before you say yes to a deal
Know what you keep
Ask what the platform takes. Some charge the creator a cut and some charge the brand a subscription.
Know what the brand can do with the video
Running it as an ad from your handle, exclusivity and raw footage are extras, not part of the base price.
Know when you are paid
On approval, or on a pay cycle. It should be written down before you film.
Don't pay to apply
Joining Reyn is free, and a real campaign does not ask you for money.
Short answers.
Do I need a minimum number of followers?
No. Brands on Reyn pick on your clips and your record, not on a follower count, and anyone can apply to any open campaign.
Do I need past brand work to start?
No. Three sample clips made with products you own are enough for a finished profile, and brands see your applications once it is done.
Do I have to post on my own account?
It depends on the campaign. Some want clips for the brand's own channels, some want posts on your account, and some run on an account built for the campaign. Each campaign says which.
How long until I'm paid?
Each campaign states it: as soon as the brand approves your work, or on the brand's pay cycle. Pay goes to your bank, and you don't send an invoice.
What does Reyn take?
You keep 85% of what the brand pays for your first 3 months of earnings on new campaigns, then 90%. That is the only fee, and it is already taken off the figure each campaign shows you.
Make your account and apply.
Name, email and phone are enough to start. Finish your profile with three clips and brands see your applications.
