Prepare a creator quote with clear deliverables, rights, revisions and payment terms.
An effective proposal helps a brand understand what you will produce and what it may do with the material. It also helps avoid unexpected scope changes. You do not need invented results: present a relevant example, a concrete idea and verifiable terms.
Choose a useful example
If the brand sells kitchen products, show a demonstration you filmed that answers a similar question. Explain your contribution, such as scripting, filming or editing. If the example is personal work, say so; do not present an exercise as a paid company project.
Ask about audience, product, intended use and schedule. If the company targets a specific Spanish region, share only relevant aggregated data you can substantiate. Do not promise all followers will see or buy the product.
Separate quote components

The Intellectual Property Law contains general rules on rights and transfer; a clear scope helps review the specific contract. Check music, third-party images and other materials too.
Adaptable first message
“Thank you for the enquiry. I can produce a short Spanish-language video showing how the product is used. To provide a firm quote I need to confirm where it will be published, whether it will be used in paid advertising and for how long. Here is an example I produced addressing a similar situation: [portfolio link].”
You do not need to deliver a complete free advertisement to show interest. If a brand wants to assess style before a larger collaboration, both sides can agree a paid test with a defined scope.
Verify the opportunity
Check the company's identity through an independent channel. Confirm who signs, how payment will work and what information the project actually needs. Do not share passwords or login codes. Seek appropriate professional advice if tax treatment or contract terms are unclear.
Frequently asked questions
Must I price the video before knowing its use? You can ask for details or offer a range with clear assumptions. Confirm the price once scope is defined.
Is creating UGC the same as posting on my account? No. They are distinct services and can be quoted separately.
