@notanothercoach: my biggest TikTok shop retainer mistake. Have the company view your first or second draft before sending the rest over. ##ugctips #tiktokshopaffiliate #socialmediamarketing #branddeals #contentcreatortips
as soon as they say pre-approval before posting...immediate no idc how much. 😭

I would also go as far as not doing brand deals that require drafts to be approved 💕

Here are my tips:
• Max 3 to 5 videos per product, don’t go over. If they push for more at same price, walk away
• Only 0 to 1 revision per video, remind them they chose you for your work
• Always film extra clips in same outfit so revisions are quick, just add clips + voiceover

Girl this is why I don’t do any retainers that require edits. I don’t have the time or want to do the back n forth. I just signed up with a guy that handles all my retainers (communications etc) and he has a no edit put into it

As a UGC creator I recommend getting script approvals before shooting anything

The worst is agreeing to 2 edits. Because that’s no longer 10 videos we’ve made, it’s 30.

How do you feel about promoting different brands of the same product it feels dirty but also my sales have slowed down with the first brand thinking of trying something new.. it’s in the supplement realm

This is why I do voiceovers bc if they want wording different, it’s easy to fix

I started saying no preapprovals on brand deals. If you want me, you trust me to make good content. I don’t have time to redo everything. Most people have accepted that

I honestly don’t even take any brand deals from agencies anymore. They never listen to my rates which are 700+ per video and I really don’t do edits unless it’s a really big brand that I know will push me out. It gets to be more of a hassle than it’s worth sometimes.

That’s wild! I usually say no revisions. If they want revisions, the need to send guidelines and I charge extra.

Tiff | Fashion & Finds :
For the future I would create a contract that states what’s included/any limitations of the retainer-I.e. 2 edits max-deliverables are final based on labor/time and any guidelines they’ve provided…. I’m so sorry this happened to you. I know how frustrating it is. It sucks that not all biz relationships workout, but now you’ve learned and we’ve learned from your story!!🖤
