UGC works because it feels real, so use it as both organic posts and paid ads. Source creators in your niche, brief them loosely so it stays authentic and always secure usage rights in writing before you run their content. Lead with the hook, keep it native to the platform and test several creators. UGC almost always beats polished brand video on conversions.

Get usage rights in writing first. We learned that the hard way when a video ran out of term.

From the creator side: brief us loosely. Over-scripted UGC stops feeling like UGC.
