PitchSurge Answers

PitchSurge (formerly UGCjob) evolved from a passive job board into a complete "Business in a Box" outbound pitching engine for creators. It aggregates User-Generated Content jobs from over 15 remote platforms daily into one central hub. For brands, it serves as a direct hiring pipeline to a community of over 20,000 active creators completely for free. Browse the free job board.

We are the only platform that combines a free, ungated job board with a proactive outbound toolkit. Creators can build a free profile, set niche-specific filters, and receive daily automated updates for the newest available positions. For brands, PitchSurge eliminates paywalls and agency markups, providing a direct pipeline to portfolio-ready talent. See how PitchSurge works.

Absolutely not. We recently rebranded from UGCjob to PitchSurge to distance ourselves from confusing copycat sites. Unlike platforms that hide their job boards or require irrelevant information like a ".edu" university email address to sign up, PitchSurge is built on total transparency. Our job board is 100% free, ungated, and available to all professional creators—no college degree required. Read the rebrand announcement.

Setting up a profile is completely free and allows you to set custom job filters to receive automated daily match alerts right to your inbox. If you are proactively trying to get more UGC gigs, there is absolutely no reason not to create a profile, set up some notification filters, and check the daily emails to see if anything catches your interest. If you want to stop waiting for jobs and go on the offensive, you can use our Brand Directory and Template Library to find warm leads, send perfect pitches, and command higher rates. Explore PitchSurge for creators.

It is a database of over 1,500 verified companies and agencies that have actively hired UGC creators in the last 12 months. When a new job is pulled into our system, we verify the company's website, socials, and contact info, and add them to the directory so you can pitch proven buyers instead of pitching cold. Free users can browse the directory visually to find right-fit brands. Open the Brand Directory.

It is a comprehensive Creator Resource Library designed to help you run your operation like a professional agency. It includes battle-tested cold pitch scripts, "Value & Proof" follow-up sequences, customizable rate cards, and legal contract templates. Browse the Template Library.

For just $7.99 per month, Pro users gain the ability to download the entire Brand Directory as a raw CSV export to plug directly into cold email tools like Clay or Apollo. It also unlocks unlimited access to our premium agency-grade templates, including plug-and-play Canva Rate Cards, our "Ironclad" Master Services Agreement, and client management dashboards. Compare Free vs Pro and upgrade.

Posting a standard UGC role is 100% free with no caps and no hidden fees. Your listing instantly hits our live board and triggers custom daily job alerts for creators matching your specific category. Post a free UGC job.

If you have an urgent campaign, we offer premium visibility boosts. These paid sponsorships provide guaranteed velocity, pinning your role at the top of the board or featuring it in our daily newsletter to put your brand at the absolute front of the line. View sponsorship boost options.

Platforms like Backstage act as a paywall between you and the brand, charging creators monthly subscriptions just to view and apply for opportunities. PitchSurge's job board is 100% free and ungated. We aggregate jobs from over 15 remote platforms daily, allowing you to apply directly to open roles without paying an access fee. Browse free UGC jobs.

General marketplaces take a percentage of your earnings—often up to 10% in platform fees from the creator, plus additional fees charged to the client. PitchSurge charges 0% creator markups and zero middleman fees. Creators apply directly to the brand's inbox, negotiate their own terms, and keep 100% of their negotiated pay. See the creator toolkit.

Outreach tools like Onbento scrape over a million generic brand contacts and force you to send emails exclusively through their paid interface to prevent you from owning the data, which often results in high bounce rates and expensive monthly sending limits. PitchSurge focuses on proven buyer intent. Our Brand Directory is a curated list of 1,500+ verified companies that have actively posted UGC jobs in the last 12 months. Instead of forcing you into a proprietary email sender, Pro users get a raw CSV export to plug into their preferred CRM, ensuring you actually own your outreach data. Explore the Brand Directory.

General aggregators are flooded with irrelevant roles. PitchSurge is specifically engineered for the creator economy. We not only filter out the noise, but our platform serves as a complete "Business in a Box". While Indeed just shows you a job, PitchSurge equips you with tools to close the deal safely.
