User-generated content (UGC) isn't new, but it has quickly become an integral part of the world of content creation.
Here's the thing though: creating quality UGC at scale is pretty darn expensive and honestly very slow, neither of which you and I want to deal with.
That's where UGC content automation comes in.
It lets brands create, test, and publish content in minutes, helping them find their niche and save time and money at the same time.
At its best, automation can also really improve your ability to scale your business.
Jumping into the world of AI UGC automation might be daunting, but there are some solid reasons you should take the leap and learn.
UGC has long shown to be effective at reaching potential customers.
It has the distinct advantage of turning personalities consumers already have a connection to into sales, and it can be a shortcut to trust.
Despite all the bells and whistles that new technology presents, some things in advertising and content creation are basically the same.
One of those things is that customers need to trust you.
This can be one of the problems with AI content creation - viewers can tell when it's fake.
When UGC is done well, it can instantly create a connection between the audience and the brand.
One of the downsides of UGC is that it can be time-consuming.
Depending on how you're creating your content and whether you're doing it yourself or hiring influencers or experts, creating quality videos, articles, and social media posts can be exhausting and expensive.
But here's what most people don't realize:
Quality content and advertising often relies on high volume. This is partly because successful content reaches multiple demographics, and partly because you need to produce a lot of content so you know what works and what doesn't.
If you wanna scale profitably, you need to be testing creatives like a mad scientist. We're talkin' 20 to 30 per week.
That's where Gethookd comes in.
Here's how it works:
You basically have a 24/7 content team without the added costs (and dozens of freakin' revisions to go through).
Automation can help, allowing you to:
This closed loop can be powerful for businesses looking to test a lot of content and adjust on the fly.
There are a few ways to scale, and automated UGC can help with many of them.
These methods include:
You've put in the time and money to find out that a form of content really works for you, but your customers are only engaging on weekend mornings.
Why invest in pushing that content 24/7?
With surf scaling, you pick what times and days are going to do the most for you and invest where it matters.
When you can generate a lot of content in minutes, you can afford to try new things.
With horizontal scaling, you can drill down into keywords that are performing well or invest in lookalike audience (LAA) targeting.
Like any tool, UGC automation is only as good as how it's used.
One of the most common mistakes businesses make is assuming automation means you can 'set it and forget it.'
While AI tools can speed things up and handle the heavy lifting, they still need to be tweaked with human oversight to deliver.
Make sure to regularly audit your content for accuracy, relevance, and tone.
Additionally, don't sacrifice authenticity for speed.
Even automated UGC should feel personal and engaging, not robotic or generic. Maintaining brand voice, monitoring creative quality, and refining your message over time are all essential to making the most of this powerful tech.
In short, AI UGC automation is your secret weapon to chad scaling your creatives while keeping your cost per acquisition (CPA) lower than your competitors.
Automation can help you produce more content more quickly, but what's the point if you don't know which content you should be producing?
