How to Make High-Performing UGC Videos with AI (No Filming Required!)

👋🏼 Hello there,

Quick question: When was the last time you bought something because you saw a real person—not a brand—talking about it?

Did you know that 85% of consumers trust user-generated content (UGC) more than brand-created content, and websites that use it see a 161% higher conversion rate? That’s why brands like GoPro, Apple, and Starbucks have built entire marketing strategies around it.

But creating UGC at scale? That’s where most brands hit a wall:

❌ Hiring influencers? Expensive. 💲💲💲
❌ Filming and editing? Time-consuming. 🕐🕑🕒
❌ And if you’re not a video pro, good luck making something that doesn’t feel… off. 😶😶😶

But what if you could create TikTok-style UGC without hiring creators, shooting video, or even picking up your phone?

🚀 How AI-Generated UGC Supercharges Your Growth

With AI-generated UGC, businesses are:

• ✅ Driving engagement with scroll-stopping, TikTok-style videos.

  ✅ Boosting conversions by showcasing products in a real, relatable way.

  ✅ Scaling content creation without blowing the budget or wasting hours in production.

Still not convinced? Let’s talk about Coca-Cola. Yep, the iconic brand isn’t just keeping up with AI—it’s leading the charge.

Coca-Cola’s Create Real Magic campaign encouraged artists to use AI to generate stunning visuals, and the Masterpiece campaign took it up a notch with AI-generated animation, bringing famous artworks to life. They even partnered with OpenAI (yes, the same brains behind ChatGPT) to seamlessly blend live-action and animation.

Coca-Cola proved that AI can take your brand storytelling from good to holy-wow-this-is-amazing levels.

If a global brand can do it, so can you! Now, let’s talk about how. 🚀

🎯 Three Smart Ways to Use AI UGC for Your Business

1️⃣ Product Showcases That Sell
A well-placed AI avatar can highlight product features, demo how it works, and guide potential buyers—all in a few engaging seconds. Just like influencer marketing but faster and at scale.

2️⃣ Social Proof on Autopilot
Turn customer reviews into AI-powered video testimonials. Instead of waiting for UGC to roll in, generate it instantly with an AI avatar and voiceover—making social proof work for you 24/7.

3️⃣ Educational & How-To Content
Teach, entertain, and add value to your audience with AI-generated explainer videos. Break down complex topics, answer FAQs, or share industry insights—all without needing a production team.

Here’s exactly how to do it. 👇

📢 Optimize & Publish Your Video

Even the best AI-generated content needs testing and optimization before going viral.

How to do it:

✅ Export your video in high resolution (preferably 1080p or higher).

✅ Post your video on platforms where UGC performs best: TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn.

✅ A/B test different versions by changing the hook, CTA, or thumbnail.

✅ Analyze metrics like watch time, engagement rate, and click-through rate to see what’s working.

✅ Iterate and refine—if a particular format works well, double down on it.
