Outcome

>=5 approved UGC pieces from >=3 unique creators in 2 weeks

Leading Indicators

  • UGC pieces submitted (target >=5)
  • Unique creators (target >=3)
  • Prompt-to-submission conversion rate (target >=3%)
  • Approval rate (target >=50%)

Instructions

  1. Run the ugc-prompt-design drill to deploy 2-3 in-product prompts at post-activation, milestone, and upgrade moments.

  2. Configure lightweight submission forms (1-3 fields) that POST to an email inbox, Slack channel, or ugc-submission-webhook.

  3. Set frequency capping: max 1 UGC prompt per user per 14 days. Never show to users with open support tickets.

  4. Track PostHog events: ugc_prompt_shown, ugc_prompt_clicked, ugc_form_started, ugc_form_completed.

  5. Manually review each submission for authenticity, relevance, and quality.

  6. Send a personal thank-you to each approved creator.

  7. Share the single best piece on one channel (LinkedIn, newsletter, or community) to test audience resonance.

  8. Run the threshold-engine drill after 2 weeks: >=5 approved pieces from >=3 unique creators = PASS.
