Nobody handed us the information. So we're handing it over.
BlackUGC is a free job board, a $3 a month community, and a weekend starter kit for Black creators who want to get paid for their content. Anyone who wants to get paid for UGC is welcome here. You do not need experience or followers to begin.
The barrier was never talent.
I'm Steph. I'm a dad with a full-time job, and I make UGC on early mornings and lunch breaks. The hard part of starting was never filming. It was information: what to charge, who to pitch, what to film, and which offers to walk away from.
Nobody handed us that. So we are handing it over, with the numbers in the open and a room full of people starting where you are.

Where we're headed.
Our mission
Help Black creators land their first paid brand deal, and every one after it, with free tools, honest numbers and a community that has your back.
Our vision
A creator economy where Black creators are paid fairly, know their number before they pitch, and never start alone.
The 4 C's.
Everything we build has to serve at least one of these.
Community
Fostering unity, peer support, shared resources and collective empowerment.
Clients
Connecting creators directly to brands and paid brand partnerships.
Credibility
Establishing professional authority, industry standards and high-value representation.
Creators
Empowering the individual talent, skill development and authentic content at the core of the platform.
Four rules we hold ourselves to.
Proof not promises
If it does not work yet, we do not sell it.
Nobody eats alone
You learn and get paid alongside other creators, not by yourself.
Know your number
Rates out in the open, so you know your worth before you pitch.
Start before you're ready
Two good videos are enough to begin.
What is real right now.
- A free job board with the pay, fit and status spelled out. Browse it.
- Plain-English guides, a rate calculator and a Canvas pay calculator. Read the guides.
- The Weekend Kit: two videos, one weekend, your first pitches out. See the kit.
- A founding community for gigs, leads and people starting where you are. See what's inside.
Not live yet, and we will say so.
- Black UGC Certified. A credential that is not ready, so it is not for sale.
- The Rate Index. Real pay data from real creators, once there is enough to trust.
- An outreach generator for your pitches.
We will mark these as not live on every page they appear until they work.
Start where you are.
