[HIRING] US-Based UGC Creators- $400/month + Performance Bonus upto $500 per Reel

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m looking for 5 US-based creators to join SideQuest, a consumer app for discovering interesting things to do, places to explore, and experiences to have around you.

This is a Canvas UGC role - you’ll create a brand new Instagram account specifically for SideQuest and grow it through short-form content.

What you'll do

  • Create 1–2 Reels per day
  • Run a dedicated Instagram account for SideQuest
  • Create relatable, native-looking content around experiences, places, friends, travel, city life, etc.
  • Test different hooks, formats and trends to figure out what gets traction
  • Some videos will be talking-head, some can be POV/reaction/storytelling/screen-recording
  • Cross-posting to TikTok is a plus

You do not need a large following. I'm much more interested in whether you understand short-form content and can consistently make videos that people actually want to watch.

What you'll get

💰 $400/month base

📈 Performance bonuses for videos that hit view milestones upto $500 per reel

🎬 Content ideas, hooks, references and examples provided

🧪 A lot of freedom to test your own ideas - we're trying to find viral formats, not make polished ads

🚀 Potential for a longer-term role if we find a good fit

Who I'm looking for

  • 18–30 years old
  • Currently living in the US
  • Comfortable on camera
  • Native/fluent English
  • Understands TikTok/Instagram culture
  • Reliable enough to post every day
  • Bonus if you've already done Canvas UGC or grown a niche account
  • You don't need previous UGC experience if you can show strong content

SideQuest has already crossed 20K+ installs in 3 months, with the majority of our users in the US and Europe. We're now putting more focus into building our organic distribution through creators.

Interested?

Comment or DM “interested” and send me:

  1. Your age
  2. Where you're based in the US
  3. Your Instagram/TikTok
  4. 2-3 examples of your best short-form videos
  5. Your email or Whatsapp

I'll DM shortlisted creators with the full details.

Looking forward to finding creators who want to actually build something with us rather than just make another brand ad. :)

Bristol has some absolutely random things hiding around the city

I’ve been adding some Bristol stuff to SideQuest lately and ended up spending way too long going down a rabbit hole of things you can actually go and do here.

I knew about the Banksy stuff obviously, but I had no idea about some of the other random things around the city. You can go looking for a hidden railway in the Clifton Gorge, find the giant stag beetle outside the Aquarium, walk up England’s steepest street or go and pick up litter in Castle Park because why not.

The Banksy hunt in particular sent me down a whole rabbit hole lol.

I’m sure people who actually live here are going to look at this and think “how the fuck have you missed this"

so what else should be on the list? Weird stuff, little bits of history, random things to find, unusual walks, anything really. Doesn’t have to be some massive attraction.

I’m adding the good ones to SideQuest, an app I'm building around finding interesting things to go out and do in the places I visit. so if there’s something properly Bristol that I’ve missed, send it my way.

Some solo activities for when you have nothing planned

I've been collecting random things to do when I have a free day and don't want to just stay home.

These are some of my favourites so far..

Most of them are intentionally simple things you can just decide to do on a random Saturday without needing friends to be available.

I'm building an app called SideQuest around this idea, where you can discover random things to do, save the ones you want to try, and keep track of the ones you've actually done.

But I'm mainly looking for more ideas right now.

What are some of your favourite solo activities? Doesn't have to be anything fancy, cheap/free and slightly unusual is even better.

Today I learnt we own 28% share of Tata's Titan. Why don't our leaders talk about it? Why don't they advise all our MLAs, MPs to wear Titan?

Hey Lovable can you please give 24 hour free building opportunity this July 4th. Please please please. It would really help small vibe coders like myself. Happy Independence day everyone <3

End of an era for ADMK. Judgement day tomorrow.

After Jayalalitha's demise, we all know this was coming. But EPS portrayed as a promising face to lead forward. This election they made a huge blunder by joining hands with BJP. And as we are all witnessing, the legacy Tamilnadu party ADMK will finally get its first big nuke tomorrow as 30 of it's party MLAs join TVK. They had a good run, with good leaders and great schemes for Tamilnadu. Maybe anytime in the future they'll uprise again. Until then the legacy status will continue. Hope they keep both the ruling and opposition parties in check.

On the brighter side. We have DMK govt a tough competitor compared to BJP run ADMK.

If you have to look at us giving birth to TVK in an optimistic channel. We are efficiently removing the BJP proxy ADMK. From next election they won't stand a chance against DMK and TVK. We are replacing ADMK with a tough competitor TVK. "Tough Competitor" in the sense, Vijay has a strong face value, so DMK has to work hard and prove strongly they're more capable. So we can keep DMK on check. DMK has very strong political ethics and they have good plans for Tamilnadu, but we need a strong competitor like TVK to keep them on check. With ADMK they would become lethargic. Cuz there's no way the current ADMK will give a good competition to DMK. What do you guys think?

I work in the hotel industry, and over the past few hours we’ve been seeing something unusual in Chennai, major hotel chains and luxury properties are reporting a sudden surge in bookings, with many nearing sold out status. At first, it seemed like typical seasonal or business travel demand. But a source from another luxury property mentioned that a significant portion of these bookings is linked to high profile visitors arriving to meet Vijay following his recent election wins. It appears that prominent businessmen, politicians, and bureaucrats are making their way to Chennai likely seeking appointments to meet him in person and extend their congratulations.

Hope there's some major correction after 2PM. This is really concerning for the state. This gives mild panic attack.
