How to Apply to a Brand Deal

Applying to brand deals on UGC Roster is free. There is no subscription, no paid plan and no trial involved — a free creator account can browse every open deal and apply to as many as it likes. (A paid plan adds the Outreach Engine, which is a different thing: pitching brands from our database yourself.)

Where to find brand deals

  1. Sign in and open your creator dashboard.
  2. In the left sidebar, under the Land Deals group, click Direct Deals. It lists the open deals and tracks the ones you have already sent, with tabs for All, Open, Applied, Accepted, Closed and Favorites, plus search and sort.
  3. You can also browse live campaigns at ugcroster.com/ugc-jobs without signing in at all.

Reading a deal

Each listing shows the brand, the deal type (Direct Brand Deal or Agency), a compensation label, what the brand is looking for, and any custom questions it has added.

Before you apply

Your portfolio is what brands compare. A complete one has your full name, a profile photo, at least one niche, at least one social link and at least three portfolio videos — self-made samples count, you do not need past brand work. Any application page lists exactly what is still missing.

How to apply

  1. Open a deal that fits your niche.
  2. Add your name and at least one social handle (Instagram or TikTok).
  3. Answer the brand's questions.
  4. Submit. If you do not have an account yet, your answers are saved first and you create the account straight afterwards — nothing is lost.

What happens after you apply

The brand reviews applications on its own side and can message you, hire you, or pass. The platform sets no reply deadline and no reply is guaranteed, so keep applying rather than waiting on one deal. Once a brand hires you, My Jobs, Campaigns, Documents, Contracts and Deliverables appear in your sidebar.

Something look off?

If a listing has no brand information or no clear compensation, you are never obliged to apply. Open the support widget (bottom-right) or the "Talk to the team directly" form and let the team know.
