Usher Institute

OPPORTUNITY: Get paid to create Instagram Reel content (online students only)

Are you a natural at creating TikToks or Instagram Reels? Or just keen to show off your online learning experience through short-form video? We want you to create Instagram Reel content for us!

Calling all online learning students!

We’re offering you a University Gift Shop e-voucher worth £30 (excluding shipping) in exchange for raw video footage! A wonderful chance for you to grab yourselves some lovely official University hoodies, shirts, keychains, mugs, etc. 

We’re open to all sorts of content, such as: 

  • Day in a life content 

  • Showing your study space

  • Showing your job / work 

  • Tips for online students (e.g. how you balance work and studies) 

  • Or if you're stuck, we’d be happy to suggest things! 

You don’t have to talk to the camera if you’re not comfortable, but we will be expecting at least one clip with your face in it – even just smiling/waving. And perhaps voiceovers if appropriate.

How long it would take for you to film would largely depend on your type of content, but we are just looking for several clips lasting a few seconds as we aim for Reels to be less than 30 seconds long.

You won’t have to do any editing at all, although we are open to creative suggestions. Your Reel will be posted on the University’s social media. 

Interested? Contact Ari at ari.badlishah@ed.ac.uk (Educational Design and Engagement team)
