EmStory UGC Content Creator FAQ's
Basics
1. What makes EmStory UGC an attractive Content Creator business opportunity for me?
It is an easy way to earn money as a content creator and the amount you can earn is unlimited. YOU can select Business Owners and product categories YOU like to work in and with the EmStory UGC dashboard you can find them fast and see what is hot! You can build your own brand and use your personal skills to create exciting, genuine video testimonials for your favorite brands and their customer audience. YOU will receive payment monthly for successful video testimonials incorporating a promo code provided by EmStory UGC Marketing Platform.
2. How does EmStory UGC differ from other affiliate models or UGC platforms?
EmStory UGC provides ultimate freedom to run your own Content Creator business. You can build your own brand, use your own approaches to effective content creation, you can pick the businesses you want to work with and when you want to work, you can set your own goals and make as much money as you want. The EmStory UGC goal is to provide genuine user testimonials.
3. Do I need to have a lot of followers to participate as a content creator at EmStory UGC?
No follower minimums. Whether you have 100 or 100,000 followers, you're welcome. Authenticity matters more than audience size.
4. Why do you hire content creators individually rather than working with a CC agency?
Think of the Content Creation world as your typical big pyramid, with Fortune 500 companies at the top and thousand of smaller, $1M to $10M revenue companies at the bottom—many are local one store, two store merchants who are working every day to stay alive, don't really understand digital marketing and how to use it to make money, want to grow but have limited resources to fund marketing efforts and no internal expertise. These are our EmStory UGC Business Owner targets and they should be the targets of the start-up individual Content Creator. This is the space EmStory UGC wants to play in, where we are all working together like partners trying to build our respective businesses. CC agencies charge a lot of money and their business targets are much farther up the pyramid.
5. Is there any scripting or casting for my videos?
No! Create On your own terms: no scripts, no briefings, no approval processes. Create content that suits your style and your audience. You are responsible for the content you post in your social media channels.
