For UGC creatorsNo follower minimum

Great UGC does
not start with a
follower count.

You know how to shoot, edit and tell a story. What you need is real businesses, real products and real briefs to prove it on, and to stop being measured by the size of a personal feed that was never the point.

One brief, and no two people shoot it the same way. That is the job.

Sound familiar?

You have probably
said this.

If the craft is the point

Look at what I can create, not just how many people follow me.

Creative skill is its own form of influence. Claris weighs what you make and how you make it, and gives you real businesses to build a portfolio around.

From craft to career

You know what you can create.
You just need the
chance to show it.

Building a portfolio without opportunities is the oldest catch in this job. Here is the climb, and the thing that usually stops people on each rung.

01

Rung 01

Something real to shoot

A café, a product drop, a treatment room, a villa. Brands and venues that have already said yes, with the brief written down before you apply.

Normally blocked by: nobody knows you exist yet.

02

Rung 02

Work you are allowed to show

Usage is stated on the listing. On most collabs you keep the right to post the work on your own channels, so every shoot adds to a reel you can send to the next client.

Normally blocked by: unclear rights, agreed after the fact.

03

Rung 03

A reputation for delivering

Completed collabs build a visible track record. Businesses can see that you turn up, shoot well and hand over on time, which is most of what they are actually buying.

Normally blocked by: no way to prove reliability to a stranger.

04

Rung 04

Work that pays

Most collabs are an exchange, and a share of brand work pays in cash. You get those with a body of work and a record behind you, which is exactly what the first three rungs are for.

Normally blocked by: being judged on reach instead of craft.

Why Claris for UGC

For a UGC creator, the work is the qualification

Businesses do not always know the difference between reach and content quality, so Claris puts what they actually want in writing. Here is what happens after you apply, and why it is built to judge the thing you are good at.

01

Apply with your work, not your numbers

Your location, your name, your email and your handle. Free, with no fee and no commission.

02

We watch what you have made

How you shoot, how you cut it, whether the story holds together. There is no follower threshold. Usually within a day.

03

Find a brief worth shooting

Filter by what there is to make rather than where you fancy going: food, product, interiors, movement. The deliverable and the usage are on the listing before you apply.

04

Shoot it your way

The brief says what the content has to do, never how to say it. The one thing you are actually good at is the one thing nobody scripts.

05

Hand it over, and keep the reel

Deliver what was agreed. On most collabs you keep the right to post the work on your own channels, so every job adds to a portfolio and to a record a business can check.

01

No follower threshold to clear first

The review looks at the work: how you shoot, how you cut it, whether the story holds together. A small account with good work gets through. A large one with nothing behind it does not.

02

What the work is worth is on the listing

The offer, the deliverable and the usage rights are written down before you apply, so you can decide whether the trade is fair for the amount of work it actually is, rather than finding out afterwards.

03

You deal with the business, not an agency in between

The person who wrote the brief is the person you message. Nothing is relayed through a middle layer that has never seen your work and takes a cut of it.

Eight kinds of brief

Eight kinds of thing to point a camera at

Food, product, interiors, movement, people. Different problems to solve and different things to get right, which is the part that actually builds a reel worth sending.

Restaurants & cafés

Restaurants & cafés

Food, interiors and people eating. The most requested work there is, and the fastest way to fill a reel.

Beach clubs & bars

Beach clubs & bars

Wide light, water and movement. Hard to shoot badly, and worth the effort to shoot well.

Spa & beauty

Spa & beauty

Close-up product work, hands and texture. Where a careful edit shows immediately.

Hotels, villas & stays

Hotels, villas & stays

Rooms, mornings and detail. Usually the longest brief and the biggest set of files to hand over.

Events

Events

Launches, pop-ups and parties. Fast, unrepeatable, and the closest this work gets to reportage.

Brand products

Brand products

Skincare, swimwear, jewellery. Straight product work, and often the collabs that turn into paid ones.

Studios & services

Studios & services

Barbers, tattooists, nail studios, clinics and photographers. Close-up hands, tools and a visible before and after.

Activities & experiences

Activities & experiences

Surf, yoga, boat trips, classes. Movement, and something genuinely happening in front of you.

Straight answers

Frequently asked
questions.

What is the difference between a UGC creator and an influencer?

Influencers post content to their own audience. UGC creators make content for brands to use in the brand’s own channels (ads, websites, brand socials). On Claris you can do both, depending on the collab offer.

Do I need a public TikTok or Instagram account?

A portfolio of your work helps with approval, but a huge public following is not required. Many UGC creators on Claris have private personal accounts and a separate UGC portfolio.

What kind of briefs do brands give?

Most briefs include the deliverable format (Reel, photo set, TikTok), the brand vibe, the talking points or scenes, and a rough timeline. Specifics are agreed in the in-app chat before the booking is confirmed.

Do I keep the content rights?

Content rights are set per collab. Most UGC collabs grant the brand usage rights for ads and socials, while you retain the right to post on your own channels unless the brief explicitly buys exclusivity.

How fast do I have to deliver content?

Most UGC collabs run on a 7 to 14 day delivery window from the shoot date. The exact deadline is in the brief before you book.
