We get it: creating online content takes forever, costs a fortune, and can feel like a full-time job. For dropshippers, this is one of the biggest hurdles. To drive traffic, you need attention on TikTok, Instagram, and beyond. But let’s be honest: not everyone wants to become a 24/7 content creator just to sell products.
Does this resonate with you? Then we have great news. With AI-powered UGC (user-generated content) tools, you can create video ads in just a few clicks. And if you want to take it a step further, AutoDS takes it from there with full automation for sourcing products, optimizing listings, and fulfilling orders.
In this article, we’ll tell you all about UGC ad generators and show you a step-by-step guide to creating AI video ads in less than a minute.
AI-powered UGC ads save time and money by creating TikTok-style videos in under 60 seconds without filming or editing.
Speed is critical in dropshipping marketing. The faster you test and iterate ads, the sooner you find winning products and drive sales.
AutoDS + CreateUGC AI gives you an end-to-end solution to generate authentic, ready-to-launch UGC videos at scale. You just provide the URL of the product you want to promote, choose your script and avatar, and you’re good to go.
The Fastest Way to Create UGC Ads
In the era of artificial intelligence, creating high-performing ads no longer requires influencers, expensive agencies, freelancers, or hours of editing. New AI tools help you generate authentic, UGC video ads for TikTok easily and hassle-free.
But let’s start from the beginning. UGC means user-generated content. Like the word indicates, we’re talking about content that is generated by regular users, not brands or advertising agencies. It typically looks fresh, authentic, and homemade, and it became popular in the last decade for one simple reason: people trust people more than they trust corporate ads.
Dropshippers use this format to promote their products, as videos get 5.7x more sales than static images. But here’s the catch: while UGC is supposed to look homemade, it still takes lots of time, effort, and money (think editing apps, a camera, a microphone, etc.) That’s where AI comes in: it does the job for you (in a minute).
For instance, CreateUGC is a UGC ads generator built for dropshippers, e-commerce brands, and marketers that need fresh, social content at scale. Today, 85,000+ marketers are using it, creating up to 10x more ad variations than before.
CreateUGC gives you instant access to a huge variety of video styles and avatars designed to match your target audience. The best part? It’s made to create what actually works on social media. That means that videos feel authentic, match the visual style users expect, and are product-centered to drive sales.
Why Speed Matters in Dropshipping Marketing
Dropshipping is all about putting your products out there in front of your potential customers, all day, every day. Those who can’t keep up lose. Those who do it right win attention, drive traffic, and turn scrolls into sales. In that scenario, speed is everything.
First, because every new day brings a new product to your store, and a new product means new content to promote it. And second, because trends shift overnight. The product that goes viral today might be forgotten by next week. To stay ahead, you need to launch ads quickly, test multiple variations, see what sticks, and double down on that.
That’s where these UGC AI tools make all the difference. Instead of spending days (or weeks) planning, filming, and editing, you can generate multiple ad creatives in seconds. This means you can:
- Produce videos for each product on your store.
- Try different hooks, voices, and visuals to see what converts.
- Scale your marketing and dropshipping logistics without content creation being a hurdle.
For dropshippers, that speed translates into direct growth. More ads = more tests, more data, and more winners.
How AI UGC Video Ads Work in Practice
What used to be a nightmare for non-content creators is now reduced to literally four simple steps and a minute—literally.
Now think of it as a quick, repeatable workflow, going from an idea to an AI video ad in a minute. No more brainstorming, scripting, filming, and editing. Or worse: having to show your face when you don’t want to.
So, how do you scale your dropshipping business with UGC AI tools? Let’s go through the process step-by-step of a typical UGC ad generator, with CreateUGC and a Stanley Cup (a dropshipping favorite) as an example.
Step 1: Choose Your Product & Hook
Start by picking the product you want to showcase, based on your product research strategy. Then, ask yourself: what’s the angle you want to promote it with? That will lead you to a potential hook. A hook is the very first line or visual that grabs your attention in the first three seconds. It’s what makes someone stop scrolling and watch your ad.
🆕Beginner’s Tip: To come up with a strong hook, start by thinking about your customer’s biggest problem or desire. Frame your opening line around that. For example: “Tired of messy kitchens?” or “Here’s how I finally got clear skin…”. If it speaks directly to what they care about, you’ll instantly catch their attention.
If you’re using CreateUGC, it gets even easier. You just paste the URL of your product and select what type of video you want: a video reaction or a product in hand. Both types are made to look realistic, authentic, and organic.
Step 2: Generate Scripts and Voiceovers
Now it’s time to feed the system with the details it needs to create the video. In this step, you provide the info for the script and choose your voiceovers based on the voice and tone of your brand.
With CreateUGC, the system does that for you. You just copy the product URL, and it automatically grabs the title, description, and images from its source. You can choose your own listing or your supplier’s link.
💡Pro Tip: If you’re an AutoDS user, you can optimize your own listing with the AI product title & description generator, and then use your own URL to create the video. This way, you are feeding the system with already optimized information, from SEO-friendly keywords to a polished tone.
The AI will use this info to generate three different scripts for you to choose from. It also gives you the chance to tweak them as you like to add your own personal touch.
Step 3: AI Creates the Visuals
Finally, the fun part! This is where the AI processes the info you provided and creates your video in seconds. Whatever system you’re using, it will probably give you a couple of avatar options and request format specifications.
CreateUGC goes a step further with dozens of different avatars to choose from. All with different ethnicities to match your target audience and your brand.
Step 4: Export and Launch in Ads Manager
Finally, export your finished video in a ready-to-use format and upload it directly into your TikTok, Meta, or YouTube ads managers. From there, you can run tests, track results, and iterate quickly. All without waiting days for new creatives or spending weeks crafting content yourself.
