FAQ

How much should I charge for a UGC video?+

Most UGC creators start at $25–$75 per video, move to $75–$200 with experience, and go above $200 when editing, ad rights, or a rush are stacked on. Set your rate at the top of your range when the brief is tight.

Should I charge more if the brand runs my video as an ad?+

Yes. Organic posting and paid-ad usage are different rights. Add a usage fee on top of your base rate — the Usage-Rights Calculator prices exactly that.

Do I charge for revisions?+

Include one round in your rate and charge per round after that. Spell it out up front so extra work is paid work, not a surprise.

Does Plug take a cut of my rate?+

No. Plug Pro is a flat monthly subscription with zero per-deal fees — the rate you land is the rate you keep. The money moves directly between you and the brand.
