This is what we mean by a post.
Real customers, unedited. A short video like these — or a plain text post like these. Honest beats polished, every time.
The video kind
30–60 seconds, phone camera, no script.
The text kind
A thread, a take, even a reply — real words from real accounts.
Four steps, no call, no deck.

Create, then post
Approved? $100 hits your balance instantly. Ship content with it, then share what happened.
What makes a great post.
Show the actual clips. Screen-record yourself browsing the library, or cut the reactions you bought straight into your video. Seeing the product beats describing it.
Tell the speed story. “Found six clips, shipped a new ad the same afternoon” is the hook. Every founder feels the pain of slow creative.
Share real numbers. If you ran the creative as ads, say what happened — CPM, CTR, thumb-stop rate, even a small win. Numbers make posts credible and shareable.
Be honest, not polished. This isn't an ad read. Say what surprised you, what you'd improve, how you actually used it. Authentic posts outperform scripted ones — that's the whole thesis of UGC.
Apply.
Two minutes. Just make sure you're registered on dansugc.com first — that's the account we credit.
Good to know.
Who is this for?
Early-stage startups and indie founders with a live product (website or app) and an active social presence. If you're shipping and posting, you're who we built this for.
Video or text — which testimonial?
Your call. A short video (like the two above) or a plain text post both count. Pick the format you'd genuinely make.
Can I post on more than one platform?
Please do — pick every platform you're up for in the form. One great post is the deal; more is love.
What can I spend the $100 on?
Anything credits buy: B-roll reaction clips from $5, custom videos from our creators, content packs. Full commercial rights on all of it.
What if I'm not approved?
No hard feelings — the library is open to everyone, with clips from $5 and free clips for subscribers.
