Creating great content is only half the job. If you fumble the delivery—sending links that don’t work, missing files, or no context at all—you risk losing repeat business (even if the video was amazing).
Professional delivery is one of the biggest factors that separates creators who occasionally get paid from those who land consistent brand deals.
Here’s how to deliver your UGC like a true professional—so you look organized, confident, and easy to work with (aka a brand’s dream partner).
1. Organize Your Files Before Sending
Before you even email the brand, make sure everything is neatly labeled and grouped.
What to include:
A folder for edited videos (clearly named: “IG Reel,” “TikTok 1 – Voiceover,” etc.)
A folder for raw clips (if requested)
A copy of your invoice or deliverable checklist
Optional: a short “read me” file or doc with extra info
Why it works:
Brands often forward your content to other team members or paid media buyers. Organized files = fewer questions = they remember you as easy to work with.
2. Use Clean, Clickable Links (Not Huge Attachments)
Don’t clog their inbox with giant video files. Instead, use cloud storage tools like Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer. If you’re sending through Drive, be sure permissions are set to “Anyone with the link can view.”
Pro Tip:
Use short, branded file names like:
MeganCollier_TikTok1_Testimonial.mp4
BrandName_ProductDemo_BRoll.mov
Why it works:
Clean, easy-to-click links show you’re tech-savvy, organized, and respectful of their workflow.
3. Include a Friendly, Clear Delivery Message
Don’t just drop a link with no context. A simple, professional message can go a long way in reinforcing your credibility and building long-term relationships.
Example:
Hi [Brand],
Attached are the final UGC assets for [Campaign/Product]. Let me know if you need any file tweaks or alternate formats. It’s been great working with you!
—Megan
Why it works:
Being warm and professional makes you more memorable—and makes brands more likely to hire you again.
4. Attach Your Invoice with Matching File Names
Even if you discussed payment via DM or email, always send a formal invoice when delivering content. Use the same file naming style as your videos to keep things consistent.
What to include in the invoice:
Your name + business info
The brand’s name
What was delivered (ex: 2 TikToks, 1 voiceover, 3 raw clips)
The agreed price
Payment instructions (PayPal, bank, Wise, etc.)
Why it works:
You look legitimate and trustworthy—and you get paid faster.
5. Confirm and Follow Up (Without Being Pushy)
After delivering, check that everything was received and functioning properly.
Follow-up message example (2–3 days later):
Hi [Brand], just checking in to make sure everything came through okay. Let me know if you need any revisions or extras. Excited to see the content live!
Why it works:
Professional follow-up shows you care—and reminds the brand you’re someone they can count on.
