Saturday morning. You walk around your neighborhood with a notebook: the bakery, the gym, the real estate office on the corner.
Two hours later you have 9 names, 3 phone numbers and no idea which of those businesses already make videos, or which ones want to.
“They just need to find companies, and we have a place for that.”

Who to look for
Coaches who sell videos to businesses agree on three signs:
- Small and mid-size businesses. Famous brands already get free content every day. One UGC creator looks for brands with under 100,000 followers.
- The ones that tried and stopped. One coach looks for accounts with under 1,000 followers and no post in the last 30 days. That owner already wanted videos and could not keep going.
- Businesses with a face. The real estate agent, the trainer, the hair salon owner: their name is their brand.
Example: you search for gyms in your city. Of the 40 that show up, 6 have an account but have not posted in over a month. Those 6 go first on your list.
They are looking too
The same 2026 Spanish study says price does not show up as the main obstacle for those companies. What they find hardest is finding a good creator.
Near you, or in another city
You can start with your own neighborhood, where you know the streets. Since your videos do not require traveling anywhere, you can also search in another city or another country, as long as you can write to that business in its language.
Take it slowly: 5 new businesses a week, written on a list with the date. UGC Viral Studio searches for businesses on the map, in the city you choose, and builds that list for you. You decide which ones to keep.
