Starting UGC can feel overwhelming when you think you need fancy products or lighting. Truth is? You already have what you need.
Here are 4 simple video styles that brands LOVE to see—using products you already own:
1. Testimonial Talk-To-Cam:
Pick a product you actually enjoy, sit by a window for natural light, and talk directly to the camera about your experience.
2. Voiceover Demo:
Film yourself using the product, then add a voiceover describing what it is, how it works, and your honest opinion.
3. Morning or Night Routine:
Incorporate products into your real routine—skincare, supplements, coffee, anything you use regularly.
4. Unboxing + First Impressions:
Got a recent Amazon order? Film yourself opening it and share your first reaction.
These show variety, real-life use, and give your portfolio range.
Start scrappy. Start real. Brands care about relatability—not perfection
