Frequently Asked Questions for Social Media Managers & UGC Creators

How should UGC creators bill usage rights and whitelisting?

Always break paid usage rights (30/60/90 days) and raw footage buyouts onto separate lines from base video production so brands can renew usage easily.

When should monthly social media retainers be billed?

Standard agency practice is billing 100% of the monthly retainer on the 1st of the month prior to content scheduling.

Can brands pay via credit card link?

Yes—drop a Stripe Payment Link or PayPal.me URL into the Get Paid field so DTC brand managers can put your invoice on their corporate card.
