Subject: The $250/video gap: why supplement brands pay more for whitelist-ready UGC

Hey [First Name],

I’ve been watching the UGC marketplace for supplement brands, and there’s a pricing gap that’s costing both creators and brands.

Most creators sell organic-only rights for $198/video. But when a brand wants to run that same video as a paid ad on Meta or TikTok (Spark Ads), they need a whitelist-ready license — and that’s where the price jumps to $500–$1,200/video from pro creators.

Why the gap? Because organic-only content can’t legally be used for paid media without renegotiating rights. Brands either waste time chasing permissions or settle for lower-performing organic posts.

I’m testing a middle ground: a 3-video pack at $750 ($250/video) that includes a 90-day paid-media usage license. No renegotiation, no delays. Just creative that’s ready to scale.

If you’re a performance marketer at a supplement or skincare brand and you’re tired of ad fatigue every 2–3 weeks, reply to this email. I’ll send you a sample brief.

Best,

[Your Name]
