FOR CREATORS
Everything a UGC creator needs to get paid properly
Making the video is the easy half. The half that decides whether this becomes an income is the rest: what to charge, how to invoice it legally where you live, what to agree before you film, and how to turn one job into a client. These guides are grouped by that order, and the country pages carry the version that applies where you are registered.
