literally one prompt. first try.
comment "DM" and i'll Dm you prompt and 10% off for kubflow if you'll need it
seedance 2.0 on kubflow is something else
I will jump straight into the sauce and give you a full breakdown of how I generate AI UGC ads that print, and the cost is exactly $2.50.
The first step is always research. If you don't do proper research, no matter what fancy tool you use to generate ads, it won't work. If the script your avatar/persona uses does not resonate with your audience, it does not MATTER!
So research is always the first step and the most important step. If you don't do it right, it's GGs.
You can do research both with AI and manually. I recommend doing both. Why both? When you do it with AI, it will gather shit tons of information, no questions asked. But if you don't get your hands dirty and do a deep dive into what verbatims your customers are using, what quotes they use, how they describe their pain, their desires, and their perfect outcomes, you won't be able to judge whatever copy or avatar AI spews to you.
So again, I recommend doing deep research both with AI and manually by going through forums, YouTube, FB, comments, videos, everything.
After you are done with research, then of course comes writing the script. I won't do a deep dive into how you should be writing your scripts, but generally, after you do manual research, you should have an understanding of what words to use. One good tip: always write copy for 5th to 6th graders so everyone can understand it. Don't overcomplicate it, and make it buttery smooth so it flows.
The next step is generating your avatar. Now, a lot of people make a big mistake here. They generate these "perfect" images that are crispy clean. No. You actually want to generate imperfect images, slightly blurry, not the greatest lighting, imperfections on the skin, so it looks more natural.
I use GPT Image for image generation. Nano Banana Pro is also very good, but in my experience, with the same prompts, I get slightly more "natural" images.
Now here comes the main step: video generation. How do you generate a 1-minute video for $2.50? You already may have guessed from the image: by using Grok, not the newest version, but the older one.
As you can see in the image, if you generate a 10-second video in 720p, and 720p is more than enough for AI UGC, again, same point, you don't want it super crispy, it only costs 30 credits. It is almost the same price as generating images lol.
The credit cost on Kubflow, where I am generating these ads, is $0.012 for 1 credit. So you do the math:
$0.012 × 30 = $0.37
And if you want 6 to 7 videos, which will be 1 minute:
$0.37 × 6 = $2.27
So it is extremely, extremely cheap. Granted, Grok has some flaws, like the audio is not the best, but you can adjust it, add music, edit it slightly, and it should be good to go for ads.
Now, of course, there are other similar tools like Kubflow, Weavy, Higgsfield, Runway, etc., but at the moment, I have not found anything cheaper than Kubflow. I actually found it on a Reddit post and I am glad I gave it a try.
To start with i am not selling any course or i am not guru or any bs like that. Just wanted to share my experience and literally quick overlook how i did it, literally i think all bullet points you need to know,
Find product/niece/problem that is not too saturated and is validated
my favortie way of research is going on facebook ads library https://t.co/Pq4UMICDWP
set it to USA and enter keywords like "Shop now", "buy now" or any nieshe for example "back pain" (back pain too saturated, just example)
set filter to show all ads until last month, so from 2016 to 2026 April, so you don't see new ads that are testing
ads you will see are all most likely winners and they are selling, scroll endlessly for days and look for ads/products that seem like easy to find on aliexpress or wherever (if you have private supplier better ofc)
do list of 20-30 products you think might be good
2. now you have really great list, that most likely are good products right, now go manually and check one by one. you now need to validate every product, go on amazon search it and see how they are selling (on amazon on every product it says, 3k+ bought last month for example)
also go on the website you found the product at, and check how much traffic they have with "similarweb" chrome extension (you can find it in chrome market or whatever) if they have lots of traffic it means they are selling a lot
3. now you have to choose 1 product, and you know at least 1 angle/problem it is selling for, like for example you chose some backpain product, that is also available on aliexpress and you know angle like for example office people that sit on computer 24/7 (or whatever that brand has you chose product from)
come up with 3-4 more problems that can be solved by that product
4. register on shopify (you have first 3 month for 1$) in this 3 month you should already be profitable
5. come up with strong brand name and also check if it's available, usually i like to have real words in brand name like https://t.co/ncRKvzrnIp for rough example
check if brand name is available on https://t.co/jyANnVkMqW
once you search a lot and find the one, register it on https://t.co/KfnAhy5Feo
6. Create really minimal/elegant logo with figma (it's really easy dont hire anyone) just type your brand name, choose different fonts and play with it until you like it, i guess some tutorials on youtube if you need + you also need to pick 1 color of brand (black and white) so you have 3 brand colors in total (in most case)
7. go on shopify, configure it, set up shopify payments (if you are not from first world countries you will need to set up LLC in us or uk whatever), make sure to go through all shopify setting pages and setup everything needed, like markets (what countries you'll be selling in) shipping times (for aliexpress mostly 10-14 days, make it free) policies (make gpt write them for you, tell it all the info and tell it to ask questions so it will come with best policies) there honestly not a lot and shopify sidekick ai will help you setting it up anyway, easy
8. now add your product in shopify admin - for images just generate them using ai on https://t.co/ZNqVKN0Nwj (best/cheapest ai tool) use gpt image 2 model, basically upload photos from aliexpress to kubflow > connect them to gpt image 2 model > generate bunch of images of whatever you need, for example someone holding it, someone using it side view, like lots of photos you can generate (make sure quality it top notch, again get most of the inspiration from brand you searched this product from) after you generate pictures, it's not finished, go in figma again, import them and add texts there, explain them better etc.. once finished again export > go to https://t.co/eru0WcTPK5 and convert them to webp so they are all really small sized (to make sure website stays speedy)
9. in this part please dont use ai, now you need to really throughtout understand/research the problems you'll be advertising/making landing pages on, for example your product is back pain right, and you know 5 different problems it can solve. go on reddit, on those problems sub reddits, read them all, basically month and month worth of problems, what people are talking about, how they are solving it, what they complain about. basically everything about each problem and take a notes
10. congrats now you have brand, shop and 1 product added now one of most important parts, it's time to start building landing pages, you have 3 options:
Build on replo (best, easiest with lots of templates but not free, 100$ month, if you are serious about it would recommend)
Use shrine shopify theme (3rd party theme but really one of best with lots of configurations you can do)
just use free shopify theme (could work but really limited)
i personally do option 1
make sure your landing page is in top shape (again use inpiration from brand you found product) dont use any assets from google/aliexpress, again make sure to generate them with https://t.co/ZNqVKN0Nwj whatever you might need, hero etc.. etc.. it's really hard to exmplain all the steps here and you need to figure it out yourself, but it's not hard, just time consuming, if you basically use lots of different inspiration websites and come up with your own, like copy small elements, badges, how they have copy written etc.. it will work! use common sense basically, dont try to invent bicycle. go look for others and apply it for your brand, text, colors etc.. ( you also need 1 landing page for each problem you reserached)
to write really great copy now use claude opus 4.7, tell it about everything you are doing and attach your researched file here you did on reddit and do copy on your website section by section (it can also recommend what photos to genearte on kubflow)
10. So now you have, full brand with products, really great landing pages (each for each problem) basically whole store is setup, now you need ads
in 99% of cases would recommend running just meta ads
to create ads again you'll need to go on facebook ads library, look for winner ads from your competitors and recreate them. that's the whole gameplay. Make all the footage or photos again on https://t.co/ZNqVKN0Nwj
for UGC type ads use Grok model
for advanced staff use seedance 2.0
for images use GPT image 2.0
for animation type ads use kling 3.0
11. for example you found 10-20 winning ads, you recreated them all, now it's time to create ad account > go on meta business center, create account > create socials (facebook/instagram) basically pages where you'll run ads > go through every verification you'll need to through, set up profile pictures, bio etc.. on those profiles, make sure everything looks nice
you also need to install facebook pixel (pixel is what tracks statistics for ads on your website) to do it go in shopiy app store, install facebook & instagram app and follow all the instructions there, then go in facebook > event manager > test and test if event actually work (like page view, add to cart etc..)
12. now your ad account is fully ready too, time to launch ads, i wont go in like why this method is best etc.. and really in depth but basically you need this structure
CBO > 3-5 adset in total (each adset for each problem/angle) > in each adset, ads that are related to that problem and lead to appropriate landing page
to make this, click "create" button in ads manager > for goal click "sales" > now you are in 1/3 page of making ad, just name it CBO and set daily budget to 50$ to start with, it should be campaign budget not adset budget.
> now in adset (2/3 page) on top page select
Conversion location > website
Performance goal - max number of conversions
Dataset - your pixel
Conversion event - Purchase
- on page below select countries you wanna sell in (usually US, UK, Australia)
- click placements > more settings > make sure it's only facebook and instagram there (make sure to deselect audience network etc..)
> okay finall on 3/3 page where you upload ads,
- deselect/turn off all ai bullshit meta offers, like music, enhancments etc..
- turn off Multi-advertiser ads
- for each ad add approiate landing page Website URL
- CTA always "Shop now"
upload your video/photo add description etc.. (similar to inspiration again of what you found on facebook ad library)
13. finally launch ads, wait for sales 😄
not that simple tho haha, ask GPT to interview you, where he will ask all the questions etc.. to calculate when to kill ads, when to increase budget, when to decrease etc.. what columns to setup etc..
basically for me for example (really random dont follow this)
10$ no add to cart > kill ad
20$ no sale > kill ad
Etc. etc.. i have some more metric
congrats you launched your sucessfull store, i wrote all this on top of my head so i might have missed something but overall it's my 5 year knowledge in 1 post 😃 ecom is really powerful, once you see numbers you'll be addicted and would never want to work 9-5 again.
any question let me know
actually really great tip there, in my experience try to have at least 10$ in the back for each ad if you running CBO
for example if you have 100$ budget daily, run only 10 ads
i had this campaign basically, 40 ads there 100$ budget (most of the budget was spent on couple of ads but performance was horrible) i turned off 30 ads, same ads went from 0 to 100
not sure how it works but it is what it is
