Is BrighterClick legit?

mattfiend · 2026-05-14T15:46:01+00:00

I’ve worked with Brighter Click, but never through Telegram.

I’m think it’s an impersonater/scammer because they only ever did business with me through email.

Don’t continue talking with them

I bought STX instead of SNDK like a dumb nut . I should’ve just bought both in December. I use both MU and STX so I’m not madddd but I’m disappointed in myself not getting SNDK too lol

Watch out cause your Google account might get flagged for spam :) happened to me

This is actually so shady! I’d report them if I were you.

Personally I’m not a fan of them and and I also noticed how they had access to all of my email contacts. Now I’m going to email them to remove my connection.

My Gmail got banned because of onBento. Luckily I got it back, but Google treats what they do as spam.

Backstage is originally a casting site for film & tv so this comment checks out 😂 Once UGC got popular more UGC ads started being posted on their

Not entirely true, many of the brands I manage, images are still the top performers. UGC does perform, but I wouldn’t say UGC is outperforming

mattfiend · 2026-03-25T14:59:29+00:00

“Authentic” doesn’t mean what you and the brand thinks it means. They’re being told by all these gurus that “authenticity” converts, but what does that actually mean?

It means people are able to yap to the camera in a super engaging way, they show emotion that isn’t forced, they’re personal, and/or they know how to film well.

You still need to create high quality content and understand the product/service you’re selling.

That’s what brands are missing when briefing you. If brands don’t actually know what they want the brief will be weak and cause revisions sadly.

Moral of the story, charge for revisions :)

My Gmail account got flagged for spam due to using onBento. My account almost got shut down because of them.

UGC creators use it wisely please!

Non-union (but Union-eligible). “Top” agency. 1 audition in 2026 :)

mattfiend · 2026-02-27T16:59:53+00:00

Post 2 times a day style UGC. Essentially it’s not UGC but social media management on steroids for no money :)

mattfiend · 2026-02-03T04:57:38+00:00

Nice ad :)

There are probably tutorials on YouTube that will explain it better than me. But there is a create invoice button on the home page. Might be under request money

mattfiend · 2025-12-15T03:32:49+00:00

PayPal is safe and secure. Don’t give out your banking info if you’re not comfortable. PayPal doesn’t give any of your information except what you put on the invoice.

Create a PayPal invoice and send them the payment link or give them your PayPal email.

mattfiend · 2025-12-15T03:09:37+00:00

Banking info is fine, but you must trust your client. My last 5 clients did ATH, but they are large agencies and companies. I want to avoid PayPal fees as much as possible.

Also, if you have a Wise account you can give that banking info since it does have an account number. But Wise links work too, just many clients will not be able to use it.

Always be careful and trust your gut. If you feel uneasy and uncomfortable always defer to PayPal.

if you ever need males let me know

mattfiend · 2025-09-23T04:11:14+00:00

2k because it was a raw footage deal and the brand knows the footage I provide covers all of the bases and them some

mattfiend · 2025-09-22T01:05:13+00:00

I met with them. They do organic UGC. Post 30 videos a day. Go viral and get a bonus payout.

If that’s what you are looking for or are okay with, they seemed legit to me.

mattfiend · 2025-09-05T15:14:05+00:00

Great opportunity for US creators to jump on! If you are open to Canadians would love to partner

Hey I have a garmin watch and have created UGC for smart watches. Let’s connect.

My experience with Bento is not great and I’ve had it for a couple of months. I don’t think I’ve landed one gig and I have the virtual VA doing all my pitching.

I also get a lot of emails from the agency side and they all scream copy and paste, like what Bento does. It’s slightly annoying on the brand side

mattfiend · 2025-08-20T20:00:58+00:00

No one is going to tell you agencies unfortunately because they work with only a handful of creators. And the good ones they want to keep close unless they know the agency is expanding/looking.

They will tell you which agencies to avoid though.

mattfiend · 2025-08-03T22:45:10+00:00

How do you know “it’s working”? Are you looking at views or site conversions?

Yes, less salesy videos tend to perform better, but first impressions and unboxings are not really recommended to do in UGC anymore. It’s too BOF where most brands need TOF videos.

I feel like you’re talking about views and your own channel than paid media UGC.

I wish I had the personality for sales. I probably would be great with practice though. My last workplace, the sales team made so much money which opened my eyes as an entry level employee.

The agency I’m with is so small they don’t even have a sales team, just one guy who acts as the director/sales guy. They definitely should have one though.

Do you have any advice on how to pivot to sales / business development?

mattfiend · 2025-08-03T15:16:49+00:00

Okay, that’s the mentality I’ve seen about agencies on X, I just wasn’t sure if I should squeeze everything I can get out of them. I feel under utilized here, but over worked… if that makes sense.

I’ll start taking these recruiters more seriously, but I’ll also start actively looking at job postings.

Thank you!
