How to build a UGC portfolio
Short answer
You can build a UGC portfolio before you have clients by making sample videos for products you already own. Show three to five clips across a couple of styles, keep them short and well captioned, and present them on one simple page with how to contact you. Quality and range matter more than volume.
What to include
- Three to five best videos
- Two or more styles, such as a review and a to-camera pitch
- A one-line description of each
- Your contact details and availability
How to make samples that look professional
Film with good light, add accurate captions and keep each video focused. A skill such as Explainer or Bold gives a consistent finish.
What to avoid
Using brand footage you do not have rights to, making false claims, or posting everything. Curate.
