I'm building https://www.jrivecontent.com where startups can get UGC videos for $20-60

I love building, fixing bugs, and getting feedback. I'm able to pump out a decent looking website in probably 2-3 days.

Whats killing me is trying to make content for my brand and watching it get stuck at 200 views (or just 0).

Ngl after a couple weeks I was burnt out, I did thinking about marketing agency but my god they cost so much. 

Instead I outscored the marking to small UGC creators like really small. I looked for everyday consumers who would do quick, 30-second authentic videos for ($20-$50 yes they do exist haha). I found them mostly on tiktok, insta, reddit and jrivecontent. From these videos I was able to generate my first sale for my app! (Still unprofitable but at least something is working lol) 

Just wanted to share my journey with marketing with everyone! 

I built a platform where small UGC creators can connect with small brands! So far I have 4 brands paying $20-60/video for creators!

DM me with your portfolio if interested!

First off $0 in sales because my platform is free and I want as many people to join as possible. So I was posting on reddit and X everyday for 2 weeks leading up to launch day. Just trying to see if their was any demand for my product at all

Results:

40 brands

118 creators

Before launch day I was constantly sending out emails and when I did finally launch I personally sent an email and DM to everyone who was interested.

It's been 2 days since then and I've got 3 brands and 33 creators using my platform so I'm thinking of expanding into paid ads or doubling down on marketing

So I’ve been posting and commenting around 2 weeks on Reddit about my web app that lets startups get UGC videos for $20-60 and I’ve gotten 40 brands and 112 creators to sign up

I’m just sharing this because I’m launching tomorrow and I’m scared to see how it goes tbh.

I can't believe how many people find value in something I'm building

had an idea 2 weeks ago, set up a simple waitlist and began talking and providing value on reddit.

Fast forward to today I've got over 100+ signups! It seems crazy to me.

What is everyone building? I'm building https://www.jrivecontent.com where startups can get UGC videos for $15-60

Hey guys curious to see what everyone is building! I'm working on https://www.jrivecontent.com where small startups can get UGC videos for $15-60!

I wanted to help small startups connect with smaller UGC creators that weren't charging and arm and leg for one post.

So I set up a simple waitlist and began posting, providing value, giving people advice etc. I wasn't hard pushing my web app but people began to ask me and so I directed them to my site and consistently doing this for 2 weeks I was able to get 36 brands and 93 creators to sign up!

I can't believe so many people signed up without a finished product it's crazy to me. It's https://www.jrivecontent.com if you want to check it out.

I've never built a web app before (building mobile for 2 years now) but I was getting sick of dealing with apple and the App Store and how they take 15% blah blah.

So I decided to create something I have a problem with, which is marketing my product. I wanted to connect with small UGC creators (charging $15-70/video).

Been posting on reddit for 2 weeks and I have 95 creators signed up and 35 brands!

I'm building https://www.jrivecontent.com where small brands and small creators can connect (you can get videos for $15-70)
