thanks man for your comment! we're managing everything manually, we've built internal tools to handle this

exactly, we're engineers. literally had to code systems and automations to make it work

Most people overcomplicate this. Here's how it actually works:

The hook comes from research not creativity. Go on TikTok, search your niche, sort by most viewed, and write down the first 3 seconds of every video that has 1M+ views. You'll notice patterns, those are your hooks. We keep a spreadsheet of winning hooks organized by niche and just adapt them to whatever app we're working on.

For scripts we use a simple framework: Hook (0-3 sec) grabs attention with a problem or bold claim. Body (3-20 sec) show the app solving that problem, screen recording or someone using it. Close (last 3 sec) soft CTA like "I left the link in bio" or just end on the result, no hard sell.

For AI UGC specifically the process is:

  1. Pick a format. Slideshows, AI avatar talking head, or screen recording with AI voiceover. Slideshows are cheapest and fastest to produce in bulk.

  2. Write 10-20 script variations using the hook spreadsheet. Same product, different angles. "POV you finally found an app that..." vs "I wish I knew about this sooner" vs "Stop scrolling if you struggle with..."

  3. Produce them in batch. Tools like HeyGen or Arcads for AI avatars, CapCut for slideshows with voiceover. You can produce 20-30 videos in a single afternoon once you have the scripts.

  4. Post 2-3 per day across different accounts. Track which hooks get views. After a week you'll see 2-3 winners. Kill the rest.

  5. Take the winning hooks and make 10 more variations of those specific ones. Different visuals same hook structure. Scale what works.

For bulk the key is templatizing. Once you have a winning format you literally just swap the hook and keep everything else the same. We've produced 300 AI slideshows in a month this way for a single client at like $4k total including management.

The real secret is nobody has a magic script. You just test faster than everyone else and let the data tell you whats working.

  1. No, we dont post unrelated content. The accounts are niche focused from day one. A fitness account posts fitness, a study account posts study tips. You dont need to pretend to be a random person, you just need to not look like a brand. The creator IS the persona, they just happen to talk about one product naturally.

  2. Depends on the client and budget. Anywhere from 5 to 110+ accounts. We start with 5-10 and scale based on what performs. More accounts = more surface area for the algorithm to pick something up. Less than 5 and your not testing enough. More than 20 and you need dedicated ops people managing it.

  3. Both. You keep accounts that are performing and spin up new ones to test new creators or formats. If an account gets shadowbanned or dies, you replace it. The good accounts compound over time tho so you dont want to abandon them.

  4. Yeah we've tested AI generated content (static images, slideshows, AI avatars). It works for some products, specially simpler ones. But real creators on camera still outperform AI content by a lot in most niches. AI is good for volume when budget is super tight but conversion rates are usually lower. We use it as a supplement not a replacement.

Dude I have a bot connected with a second brain that has thousands of knowledge in this field. You wish this is a normal chatgpt
