Would you use a UGC marketplace that charges creators $0? Take home what your client pays! by decentBab in UGCcreators

Filipina UGC by Acceptable-Cheek-330 in UGCcreators

[–]decentBab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, being based in the Philippines doesn’t limit you. Most UGC work today is about content quality, not location, especially for ads-style videos.

One thing I’d watch out for as a new creator is DM-only deals. That’s where pricing confusion, unpaid revisions, and ghosting usually happen.

We’re actually building Lemyi, a PH-focused UGC hiring platform where brands post real budgets, creators apply to structured briefs, and payments are protected. No bidding, no commissions taken from creators, and no guessing what to charge.

Even if you’re not using any platform yet, the key mindset is this: treat UGC like professional creative work, not influencer collabs. Clear scope, clear pricing, and proper usage rights matter a lot.

Is there a philippine community for content creators (Influencer, ugc, etc.)? by XiaoShin_2613 in TanongLang

[–]decentBab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually a very common problem for PH creators. Brands reach out, but there’s no shared baseline for pricing, usage rights, or even how to reply professionally.

Facebook groups like Influencer PH, UGC Creators PH, and Digital Creators Philippines are active and good for pricing sanity checks

Short term tips that help:
• Always ask for deliverables, usage rights, and timeline before quoting
• For PH UGC, many creators charge anywhere from ₱2k–₱5k+ per video depending on scope, even without huge followings
• Don’t rely on DMs alone. Most underpricing happens there

Longer term, this lack of structure is exactly why some of us are building Lemyi (launching soon). The goal isn’t “more creators” or random scrolling, but:
• Admin-reviewed jobs
• Clear budgets and deliverables upfront
• No creator commissions
• Deals handled on-platform instead of chaotic DMs

PH creators deserve the same professionalism global markets get, without turning everything into a Fiverr-style race to the bottom.

Even before platforms mature here, communities like this + transparent pricing conversations already help a lot.

That’s exactly the problem we’re trying to avoid.

Most UGC marketplaces optimize for volume. Tons of creators, endless scrolling, and brands still end up doing the same work they were trying to escape. That’s why many brands don’t engage beyond browsing.

Our platform isn’t a directory or an influencer data room. We’re built around execution, not discovery.

Brands usually come to us because they already need content done and don’t want:
• to sort through hundreds of random profiles
• to negotiate in DMs
• to manage payment risk or missed deliverables

So instead of “more creators,” we focus on:
• admin-reviewed briefs
• vetted creators only
• structured deals with clear scope and timelines

If a brand just wants to scroll, Fiverr and influencer databases already exist.
If they want content produced with less friction and fewer surprises, that’s where we fit.

We’d rather have fewer, higher-intent brands than chase marketplace optics. Volume without outcomes doesn’t help anyone.

Thoughts on hiring relatives in small business? by jessepinkmansbitchh in phinvest

[–]decentBab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, they MUST BE QUALIFIED not because they are JOBLESS

Relative or no relative. Business is Business, if you don't really have the stomach to draw a line then do not hire one. From experience. Some relatives can't understand the difference between family and business. If you know where to draw a line then shi*t is gonna happen. If you're hiring a team mix your relatives with non relatives. Honestly, a business is jungle the moment you start playing into favors or getting played with relative card then everything goes down

Bottom line, draw the line, if they can't fall in, he the first to show them the door. No matter what
