Run canvas UGC engagements end to end
The dedicated-account, high-volume model, run like the real engagement it is — your monthly quota, every post and its views, brand approvals, and the money all live on one deal instead of a spreadsheet and a DM thread. You source the brand; Plug Pro is the back office.
Flat monthly price · zero per-deal fees · keep 100%
A quota you can see
Every billing cycle carries its agreed video count with live progress against it — '14 of 20 posted' is a glance, not a recount of the feed.
A post log that is money
Log each video's link and view count on the deal as you post. Under CPM or hybrid pay, that log is the evidence your view bonus is calculated from.
CPM bonus, auto-added
Set your per-1,000-views rate once and each cycle's invoice adds the view bonus automatically from the logged views — no end-of-month spreadsheet math.
Three approval modes
Post-first (the brand reviews the live feed), batch concept approval (hooks signed off up front), or per-video pre-approval — agreed per deal, so the cadence never stalls on a surprise.
Ownership on the record
Who owns the ambassador account is recorded on the deal, and a built-in handover step closes the engagement — you mark the account handed over, the brand confirms.
Sellable from your storefront
List canvas as a priced package, or let a brand request an engagement straight from getplug.io/you/order/canvas_ugc — the deal starts on your terms either way.
How a canvas engagement runs on Plug Pro
You landed the brand. This is the month-to-month after the yes.
Set the terms
Monthly rate, video quota, approval mode, optional CPM bonus rate, and who owns the account — agreed once, recorded on the deal.
Post & log
Post to the ambassador account at your cadence and log each video's link and views — quota progress updates as you go.
Brand reviews via share link
The brand follows along through a share link — the live feed, the approved concept batch, or per-video sign-off, depending on the mode you set.
Invoice with the view bonus
Each monthly cycle generates its invoice automatically, view bonus computed from the logged views. The brand pays you directly — no escrow, no hold.
One deal record vs. spreadsheets & DMs
A month of canvas work has too many moving parts to run from a chat thread.
Questions, answered
What is canvas UGC?+
Short-form video posted on a fresh, brand-dedicated 'ambassador account' that you run for the brand — it starts at zero followers and is styled to feel like a real consumer profile, so you're paid for output and views rather than reach. You'll also hear it called tech UGC or high-volume UGC; our guide 'What is canvas UGC?' below covers the model end to end.
How do canvas UGC deals pay?+
Three shapes in the wild: a performance CPM (commonly around $2–6 per 1,000 views, varying by brand and niche), a flat monthly retainer, or a hybrid of guaranteed base plus a per-view bonus. Views accrue after posting, so CPM pay usually settles in arrears — which is why Pro bills canvas in monthly cycles and adds the bonus from the logged views.
Does Plug take a cut of a canvas engagement?+
No. Plug Pro is a flat monthly subscription with zero per-deal fees. The brand pays your cycle invoice directly — retainer, view bonus and all — with no escrow and no payout hold. You keep 100%.
Who owns the ambassador account?+
Whatever you two agree — some engagements are brand-owned with you operating the account, others are creator-owned with a transfer at the end. On Pro, ownership is recorded on the deal, and the engagement closes with a built-in handover step: you mark the account handed over, and the brand confirms.
