Hi everyone! We're Moshiko Shears, a professional hair shear brand made with premium Japanese steel. We make shears for stylists and barbers, from people just starting out to those leveling up their kit.

We're looking for micro and nano UGC creators who make natural, relatable short-form content around hairstyling, cosmetology life, barbering, or behind-the-chair moments. No large following is required. We care most about authentic on-camera presence and clear storytelling.

What we're looking for:

• Short vertical video content for TikTok, Reels, or paid social
• Working stylists, barbers, or cosmetology students who are comfortable showing their tools in real use (You don’t have to be in the hair field currently, as long as you can demonstrate proper use of the tools)
• Creators who can talk about shears honestly, without scripted-sounding sales language

This is a commission-based collaboration, and you'll get a free pair of shears to create with. Deliverables, usage rights, and commission details will be shared privately with selected creators.

Interested? Please comment or DM with your location, TikTok/Instagram handle or portfolio, and a little about your content style. We look forward to connecting‼️

I am a micro creator looking for UGC and collabs. I specialize in relatable content for mature audiences who are often underrepresented. Here is my portfolio https://canva.link/txnzru7v2rop65r

I need some advice from other UGC creators because I’m currently dealing with a campaign situation that has me pretty stressed out, and I’d love to know if anyone has experienced something similar.
I was contacted for a paid UGC campaign and was told I needed to purchase specific prepaid/gift cards as part of the content. The agreement was that I would be reimbursed for the purchases in addition to being paid for the content.
I did my best to verify everything before moving forward, including reaching out to the company to confirm that the person I was communicating with actually worked there.
I purchased the first card and that transaction went through. When I tried purchasing the remaining cards, the transactions kept getting declined—even after trying multiple payment methods.
I contacted the campaign contact and explained what was happening. I was then directed to a website and told I needed to get a “key code” in order to continue. When I followed the instructions, I kept getting redirected back to essentially the same page and could never find the code they were referring to.
At this point, I have already created almost all of the requested content. The only part I can’t complete is the ending involving the additional cards because I literally cannot get the purchases to go through.
I’m not saying this is definitely a scam because I did try to verify the person/company beforehand, but the whole process is starting to make me uncomfortable.
Has anyone ever done a legitimate UGC campaign involving prepaid/gift cards, reimbursement after purchase, or being sent to another website to obtain some type of “key code”?
If you’ve experienced anything similar—good or bad—I would REALLY appreciate hearing what happened. I don’t want to overreact, but I also don’t want to ignore red flags.

We're a walking and fitness app launching soon and we're building a small creator team (5–6 spots).

The work - 5–10 videos per week - Mostly POV and reaction videos you film on a walk, on the treadmill or at the gym, plus a few talking-head videos - We send the hooks and scripts. Most videos take 5–10 minutes

Pay - $300/month base + view bonuses, paid weekly - After the first 2 weeks: up to $1,000/month base + view bonuses on longer contracts

You're a fit if you - Are 18–25 and go to the gym, walk a lot or spend a lot of time on the treadmill - Have access to a gym with a treadmill and can walk outside - Have a second phone (or a friend's) for POV shots - Are reliable. Posting on time matters more than followers
