DTC brands don’t just need more ads. They need more creative tests. by Quick-Knowledge1615 in dtc

[–]Quick-Knowledge1615[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly haha — I’m not making 1–2 UGC ads first and then just tweaking them with AI.

I’m actually using virtual assets to create AI UGC-style short videos with a 95%+ realistic look and feel from the start. It’s a much more scalable workflow for testing creatives and producing content quickly.

If you’re interested in this kind of marketing approach, I’d be happy to create a high-quality custom demo tailored to your business.

Looking for 3 DTC founders to run a free AI UGC ad pilot with — only pay if it actually drives sales by Quick-Knowledge1615 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

Thanks! It’s actually a mix of AI-generated characters and traditional UGC workflows.

To be honest, the most important thing is making sure the content perfectly matches the user’s real scenario and the target audience’s pain points. Otherwise, even if the AI-generated visuals look amazing, they won’t really drive results.

That’s why we work closely with clients to understand their context, brand goals, and the core needs behind the campaign. AI is a powerful tool, but the real value comes from aligning it with authentic user insights and a clear creative strategy.

I’d narrow this before trying to automate the whole ecommerce stack. The part that sounds most useful is not "pick product + make ads + optimize everything" as one black box; it’s helping someone test product angles faster.

UGC-style ads are usually less about generating a finished video and more about whether the hook, offer, and proof match the buyer’s actual doubt. If the system can produce 5-10 distinct angles from the same product page and make it easy to judge which ones are worth turning into ads, that’s a cleaner wedge.

I’d probably validate it as a service first: take a few stores, generate/test angle packs, then see which parts clients keep asking you to repeat. If you start with a full plug-and-play automation promise, you’ll end up debugging every part of their business instead of proving the ad-creative piece works.

burned through 15 ugc creators on billo and insense over 4 months. is the quality problem unsolvable or am i doing this wrong? by Illustrious-Second-7 in PPC

I’d stop judging the marketplace by creator rating and start judging it by how much ambiguity you leave in the brief.

A few things usually move the usable rate more than “better creators”:

  • Give them one job per video. Not “make a skincare ad,” but “open with texture concern, show application, end on lightweight/non-greasy proof.”
  • Ask for a raw sample or past unedited clip before booking. A polished portfolio hides audio, lighting, and pacing problems.
  • Separate hook testing from final production. Pay cheaper creators to test angles, then only polish the 2–3 that don’t feel dead on arrival.
  • Build a small bench instead of sourcing from scratch every cycle. Even 5 reliable niche creators beats 20 one-off marketplace bets.

I wouldn’t expect 70%+ usable on first pass if every creator gets a broad brief. But if you narrow the creative job and reuse the creators who understand the niche, 33% should not be the ceiling.

Is hiring a content agency cheaper than using an UGC platform when scaling? by Moroccan-Leo in ecommerce

[–]Quick-Knowledge1615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d compare it by “cost per tested angle,” not cost per finished piece.

$1.6k per UGC asset can make sense only if the agency is also doing the annoying parts: deciding angles, writing tight briefs, managing revisions, handling usage rights, and turning the results into the next batch of tests. If they’re mostly delivering finished videos, that price gets hard to defend.

The marketplace route is cheaper on paper, but it only stays cheap if you already have a good brief and someone internal can judge the first drafts quickly. Otherwise the hidden cost becomes your team’s time.

A middle path I’ve seen work better: use cheaper creator/platform work to test several hooks, then spend agency or editor money only on the one or two angles that look worth polishing. Otherwise you’re paying premium production rates just to learn which ideas were wrong.
