What would you do if a brand that pays you $500 per brief emailed tomorrow to say it was switching to a cut of sales instead?

Host Nate Flake finally joined Trybe after viewers on his TikTok lives kept asking about it, and he brings on Becky Feigin, a UGC creator who has been on the platform since its early days, to compare notes.

Performance-based UGC is the topic Nate gets asked about most right now, and some brands are already using it in place of flat rates. Nate and Becky break down how it works, how it compares to traditional UGC and TikTok Shop, and what happens to your video once it leaves your hands. If a brand hasn't asked you to work this way yet, this episode helps you get ready before one does.

If you've made a pile of videos, watched the dashboard say they're doing well, and still haven't seen a dollar, you are not alone. Nate and Becky talk through why this keeps happening, which parts are out of your control, and the risks you probably haven't thought about yet.
