What this is
Content made by real customers and creators can show products in genuine situations. A structured program makes that content easier to gather, use and credit fairly. This course walks you through planning a user-generated content program: setting goals, choosing between organic customer content and paid creator content, writing briefs and guidelines, handling rights and permissions, disclosing paid partnerships properly, and organizing a content library. You finish with a UGC program plan, a creator brief and a permissions template.
You work through it at your own pace, lesson by lesson, applying each exercise to your own situation. It does not promise followers, clients or sales; results depend on your practice, your audience and how consistently you apply the methods.

- Set clear goals for a user-generated content program
- Choose between organic customer content and paid creator content
- Write briefs and guidelines that produce usable content
