How it works

How to become a UGC creator on viral.app

  1. Maya Torres's creator profile with a Lifestyle niche, TikTok and Instagram, two sample videos and an empty slot to add more

    Make your free profile

    Sign up on your phone and build your profile: your niches, where you post and a few videos you've made. Social accounts are optional, and you can stop and finish later. No followers or brand experience needed.

  2. A job offer from Lumo Sleep inviting you to apply for $20 per video plus $1 per 1,000 views, with an Apply button and a notification bell

    Apply, or get invited

    Apply to jobs that match your country and languages, with the pay shown up front. Finish your profile so brands can find you: they see creators who match their job and can invite you to apply, and you get an email and a notification.

  3. A $580 payout from Lumo Sleep marked Approved with a green check, with a Claim now button

    Post, then claim your pay

    Post the videos the job asks for, often on a new account made for the brand's app (a Canvas UGC job), so your followers don't matter. viral.app tracks the views. When the pay period ends and the brand approves, you claim your money.

The pay

How much UGC creators earn on viral.app

Each brand sets its own pay, and you see it before you apply. Most jobs pay a fixed amount per video, often plus a bonus per 1,000 views. Top creators earn over $5,000 a month, and most earn less.

Right now the typical job on the board pays $15 per video. Half of all per-video rates sit between $12 and $20.

One video that takes off can earn more than the rest of the week. Some jobs set a view minimum or cap the bonus, and the job post says so.

Payouts
