Getting Started as a Creator

After you submit your profile, it is manually reviewed by the UGC.NL team. We check if your profile meets the requirements to start as a creator.

The review usually takes a maximum of 7 business days.

What we check

During the review, we look at, among other things:

✓ Your profile photo
✓ Your highlight video
✓ Your portfolio video
✓ The quality of your videos
✓ The completeness of your profile

What happens after the review

If your profile is approved, you will receive a notification and can start receiving assignments through the platform.

If your profile is rejected, you will receive a message with the reason. You can adjust your profile and then resubmit it for review.

To get started as a creator at UGC.NL, your profile must be complete. Brands use your profile to determine if you are suitable for a project.

Checklist

✓ A good profile photo
✓ One highlight video
✓ One portfolio video
✓ Videos of good quality
✓ At least 18 years old

Profile Photo

Your profile photo is the first thing brands see.

✓ Clear photo of you
✓ Well lit
✓ Sharp and professional

Do not use
❌ Logos
❌ Group photos
❌ Blurry or dark photos

Highlight Video & Portfolio Video

The highlight video is your short introduction as a creator.

✓ You are clearly visible
✓ Show your vibe and style
✓ Short and to the point

This does not have to be an advertisement. It’s about making a strong first impression.

The portfolio video shows what you can create for brands.

✓ Good image quality
✓ Clear sound
✓ Relevant content

This can also be content you have made previously, outside of UGC.NL.

Quality of your videos

You don’t need to use professional equipment, but your content must be well made.

✓ Good lighting
✓ Clear sound
✓ Stable image
✓ Good voice-over (optional)

Quality is more important than expensive equipment.

Good to know

If your profile does not meet these requirements, it may be rejected.
You can then adjust your profile and resubmit it.

Once your profile is approved, you can receive assignments.
