Step-by-Step Guide

Choose your platform and format

Different platforms need different content. Instagram loves polished lifestyle shots, TikTok wants authentic UGC-style content, Facebook works with both. Plan your content mix.

Pro Tip: Repurpose: Create one shoot, adapt for multiple platforms.

Generate lifestyle images

Use AI to create lifestyle images showing your product in aspirational settings. These perform 3x better than plain product shots on social media.

Pro Tip: Match the aesthetic of your target audience - minimalist for some, colorful for others.

Create UGC-style content

User-generated content converts best. Use our AI avatar tools to create realistic UGC-style videos and images that feel authentic, not corporate.

Pro Tip: UGC-style content gets 4x higher click-through rates than polished brand content.

Design for the platform

Instagram: 1:1 or 4:5 ratio. TikTok: 9:16 vertical. Facebook: 1:1 or 16:9. Our tools export in all standard social media sizes.

Pro Tip: Always preview how your content looks on mobile before posting.

Create variations for testing

Generate multiple versions to A/B test. Different backgrounds, angles, and styles. Social algorithms reward variety and testing helps you find winners.

Pro Tip: Test 3-5 creative variations before scaling ad spend on the winner.
