UGC Creator (Short-Form Video for TikTok / Reels / Shorts)
About the Role
Back home for the summer and want something flexible that actually builds skills?
We’re hiring college students to create short-form content around real student life—studying, staying consistent, and navigating summer without falling behind. This is a paid, part-time UGC role where you’ll create content, build a portfolio, and learn what actually performs on TikTok and Reels.
About King of the Curve (KOTC)
King of the Curve helps students study smarter, not longer. We turn lectures and study notes into interactive flashcards, quizzes, and game-style study tools that make learning feel effortless — even fun. Our platform is engaging, ADHD-friendly, and predictive of real test-day performance. Over 500,000 learners have used KOTC to boost their scores.
What We’re Looking For
We’re hiring UGC (User-Generated Content) Creators to make authentic, student-voice short-form videos for KOTC. This is NOT an influencer role — you do not need a big following.
You’ll work with expert creators to bring scripts, prompts, and concepts to life in a way that feels natural and relatable to other students.
What You’ll Create
- Storytimes / “yapping” content (e.g., study struggles → what actually worked)
- Trend-based content (memes, sounds, formats adapted to the experiences of students/KOTC users).
- App demos (native-style) (e.g., a narrated screen recording of a fake convo randomly texting your bio professor you made it onto the KOTC leaderboard, etc.)
- Reaction-style videos (live or silent reactions to features, scores, progress, etc.)
- Testimonial-style UGC (natural, unscripted, does not feel like an ad)
What You’ll Do
- Film original short-form videos from your phone
- Deliver scripted lines naturally or riff around prompts
- Capture real student experiences and perspectives
- Edit for short-form pacing (hooks, captions, jump cuts)
- Create variations of content to test performance
- Iterate based on feedback from our team
What You Bring
- Current college student or recent graduate
- Familiarity with TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts
- Comfort on camera
- Basic editing skills (CapCut, TikTok editor, etc.)
- Strong sense of what feels authentic and relatable
Bonus Qualifications
- Experience creating UGC or short-form content
- Strong understanding of trends and formats
- Interest in content creation, marketing, or social media
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
- Flexible, remote-friendly work (min: 1–5 hrs/week)
- Get paid to create content you’d already be making
- Build a real UGC portfolio you can use for future brand deals
- Learn directly from a team in their 20s that’s posted 3,000+ videos and grown 310,000+ followers on TikTok.
- We’ve helped 50+ creators earn their first dollar online through content
- Collaborate with other college student creators and improve quickly
