The Trade-off
Infinitely scalable content production that is more authentic than anything your marketing team could create, but requires a product inspiring enough for users to create content about and systems to incentivize and amplify the best submissions.
The Strategy
User-generated content (UGC) is any content — templates, tutorials, reviews, showcases, case studies, videos, social posts — created by your users rather than your marketing team. The UGC flywheel turns this from occasional organic activity into a systematic, compounding growth engine by creating structures, incentives, and showcases that make it easy and rewarding for users to create and share content featuring your product.
