The UGC portfolio checklist before you pitch.

• Lead with your strongest sample. The first video should be the kind of video you want more of.
• Show each format you offer. Unboxing, how-to, testimonial-style, problem and solution: one clean sample for each.
• Open every sample on the hook. Trim so the first three seconds make the point.
• Make it watchable on mute. Captions on, clear audio, good light on your face and the product.
• Label each sample in one line. Name the product and what the video had to do.
• Show hook variations. The same product with three different openers proves you can test.
• List the specs. Lengths, aspect ratios and delivery formats you can supply.
• Write a niche line. "I make [type of content] videos for [niche]." Say it once, near the top.
• Mark self-made samples as samples. Videos for products you own are fine when they are labelled.
• Keep disclosure visible. If a sample was posted as a brand endorsement, leave the brand relationship clear in the video itself.
• Check the link logged out. Open it on your phone with no account. If it asks for a login, fix it.
• End with a contact line and a start date. An email address and the date you have availability from.
• Keep your rate card ready. Send it when a brand asks, with your own prices filled in.
