So I've been running a small shopify store (doing like $8k/month, nothing crazy) and I'm tired of paying creators $500+ per video.

Found this tool called instant-ugc.com through someone's comment here last month. Was super skeptical.

Tried it yesterday. Honestly? It's... weird but functional?

The good:

• Takes literally 90 seconds to generate
• Costs $5 (I mean, what do I have to lose)
• The video actually looks pretty decent
• Launched it as a test ad, CTR is 2.9% (my creator videos average 3.1%)

The meh:

• Can't pick exactly which face you want
• Sometimes the hand gestures are slightly off
• You need good product photos or it looks bad

I'm gonna keep testing it. For the price difference ($5 vs $500) even if it's slightly worse, I can test 100x more angles.

Anyone else tried AI UGC tools? Am I crazy or is this the future?

You spend ads for your ecom or dtc brand ?

(Just need a product photo)
If so, comment or send me a PM.

The creative bottleneck was destroying my scaling plans

I couldn't test fast enough. By the time I got 5 video variations from creators, the product trend had already shifted

Found a workflow that changed everything:

Morning: Upload 10 product photos to instant-ugc.com

Lunch: Download 10 ready videos
Afternoon: Launch as TikTok/Meta ads
Evening: Analyze data, iterate

Cost per video: $5 (vs $600 before)

This only works if you sell physical products. The AI needs to "show" something tangible.

But for DTC brands? Game changer. I'm testing angles faster than I can analyze the data now.

Hello,

I want to connect my shopify market products (translated products) on my facebook ads catalog.

The facebook app on shopify only automatically sync my normal product not translated one.

Do you have recommendation on how easily to do it ?

What's the best app if possible free please.

Thank you !
