Step 3: Upload Your Product Images

Avatar Image (Required):

  • Clear, front-facing photo
  • Good lighting
  • Natural expression
  • This becomes your UGC creator

Product Image (Highly Recommended):

  • High-quality product photo
  • Clear, well-lit
  • Builds authenticity and trust
  • Multiple angles help

Image Best Practices:

  • ✅ Clear, well-lit shots
  • ✅ No heavy filters
  • ✅ Authentic, realistic photos
  • ❌ Avoid blurry or compressed images

Step 4: Describe Character Actions

Tell the AI what your character should do in the video.

Good Action Examples:

Beauty Product:

Holding up the serum bottle while smiling and looking at camera, 
then gently applying it to her face with circular motions, ending 
with showing glowing skin to camera with satisfied expression

Tech Product:

Unboxing the device with excitement, examining it closely with 
interest, then testing features and showing approval with thumbs up

Lifestyle Product:

Using the product in daily routine, showing how easy it is, 
demonstrating key features, ending with happy, satisfied expression

Action Writing Tips:

  • Be specific about gestures
  • Include facial expressions
  • Describe product interaction
  • Keep it natural and relatable
  • Focus on benefits demonstration

Step 5: Write Your UGC Script

This is what your character will say. Write conversationally!

UGC Ad Structure (30 seconds):

Hook (0-3s): Grab attention immediately

"I struggled with acne for years until..."
"This changed my morning routine forever"
"POV: You just discovered the best..."

Problem/Context (3-10s): Build connection

"I used to spend so much on products that didn't work. 
My skin was always breaking out and I felt self-conscious."

Solution/Product (10-20s): Introduce naturally

"Then I found this serum. Started using it every morning 
and within 2 weeks, I saw a difference!"

Benefits (20-27s): Show clear value

"My skin is clearer, feels smoother, and I actually 
feel confident without makeup now."

Call-to-Action (27-30s): Direct action

"Link in my bio if you want to try it!"

Script Writing Tips:

  • Write like you're talking to a friend
  • Use contractions (I'm, don't, it's)
  • Include filler words sometimes (like, literally, actually)
  • Show enthusiasm
  • Be conversational, not formal
  • End with clear CTA

Example Complete Scripts:

Skincare Product:

I've been using this serum for just 2 weeks and my skin has never 
looked better! The best part? It's all natural ingredients. My dark 
spots are fading and my skin feels so smooth. Link in bio if you 
want to try it!

Productivity App:

Okay, so I used to be the most disorganized person ever. Like, I 
would forget everything. Then I found this app and literally my 
whole life changed. Now I actually remember to do things! If you're 
a mess like I was, you need this.

Fitness Product:

I was skeptical at first, but this thing actually works! I've been 
using it for 30 days and I can already see the difference. Super 
easy to use and doesn't take forever. Trust me, if I can do it, 
anyone can!
