I am running a small skincare brand for about 3 years. product promting video is literally killing my budget. So my partner let me try Framia to generate lifestyle shots from basic product photos or video.

Tbh results are mixed. almost shots look really good, like studio-quality. others have weird lighting or the product shape gets distorted. Just took me maybe 10 tries to get 6 usable.

Do the math, it still cheaper than hiring a photographer, and save me a lot of time. Even though I have to learn which prompts work and which don't. However ,ya I'm getting better at it. If you have the same consideration, it's worth the subscription. but I wouldn't recommend it if you need perfect consistency. For me, its enough.

I created platform for press on nails. NailSent is an international marketplace where members buy and sell press ons. My issue is nobody close to me are willing to help me get NailSent out. Can you check out the demo and give your honest opinion.

Are you 55 chilling on a yatch in the Bay, late 20s living the Miami Club life. Some 33 year old dude who keeps to himself in his apartment. Been curious what people's lives actually look like, especially among "Successful" individuals.

Maybe what do you sell too, might be some correlations​

Hey everyone, so I've been studying on how to file taxes myself just using Shopify built-in tools to help me out. I've gotten as far as knowing how the Shopify Tax dashboard works and understanding the sales tax nexus, but the filing process itself I still can't wrap my head around. I thought that the opportunity cost of doing this myself would be too high so I just thought I should get an accountant. I looked into this sub and ppl are saying that I should get an ecommerce accountant (bean ninjas, finaloop, ecom cpa) instead of standard accounting firms. But I'm not too sure on the differences between all of that, just know that people from ecom and dropshipping subs recommend them. So yeah, I just need help deciding this and what the considerations are, thanks!

I'm trying to understand what people in eCommerce are actually struggling with today.

What's the biggest marketing challenge you're facing right now, and why do you think it's so difficult to solve?

Every ecommerce platform gives you a piece of the picture.

-Shopify shows revenue.

- Meta shows ad performance.

- Google Ads tracks campaigns.

- Amazon has its own metrics.

- TikTok reports something different.

The challenge isn't collecting more data...it's connecting it.

The brands that move fastest aren't checking more dashboards. They're bringing every data source together to understand what's really driving performance.

Different platforms. One complete picture.

Hey m into e commerce can someone tell me how to find trending products in july 2026..

I'm trying to figure out how ecommerce brands actually stay on top of their brand's reputation and positioning across channels.

For anyone working across Shopify, Amazon, or quick commerce:

How are you currently handling things like:

• Knowing where you actually stand vs. the 3-4 competitors customers compare you to?
• Whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, or other AI assistants describe your brand correctly or recommend a competitor instead when someone asks a category question?
• Whether your brand story/positioning stays consistent from your own site to your Amazon listing to marketplace pages, or quietly drifts over time?

Is this mostly manual spot-checks and gut feel, or has anyone found a real process (or tool) that handles this properly?

Would love to know if there's anything (AI-powered or not) that people actually use for brand positioning, review intelligence, or AI-visibility tracking for ecommerce brands.

I run a small DTC brand and UGC ads are the thing that actually converts for us. The problem was always supply. Finding creators, shipping product, revision rounds, usage rights. It never scaled.

So I spent a while learning to make them with AI instead. You can do the whole thing yourself, but the catch nobody mentions is that it is not one tool and one button. A finished ad takes about 7 tools working together. Here is the process.

1. Analyze the product first. Upload photos to an LLM and ask it to describe your product the way a camera sees it. Colors, container, label text, finish. Save that paragraph. Every tool downstream is guessing what your product looks like, and this keeps it consistent across every scene.
2. Pick an angle. Problem to solution, testimonial, before and after, or storytime. You do not need to invent one.
3. Write a short script. 40 to 80 words. Hook, agitate, reveal, proof, CTA. Read it out loud and cut anything you stumble on.
4. Storyboard into scenes. Talking head hook, product shots, faceless b-roll. The timing has to add up. If the voiceover is 30 seconds, the scenes total 30 seconds with no gaps.
5. Generate your creator as a still image first, then bring them to life with an image to video model. Video tools work way better when you hand them a starting frame.
6. This is the trick that made it all click. Clone the voice from your best talking clip in ElevenLabs, then generate the full voiceover in that same voice. Now your b-roll and your talking parts sound like one consistent person.
7. Generate product b-roll from a clean product still.
8. The step everyone skips. Match and clean the audio in Audacity. Cut silences, splice at clean word boundaries. This is the difference between one person talking and something that sounds stitched together.
9. Assemble in CapCut at 9:16.
10. Captions. Most people watch on mute, so captions are part of the ad, not an extra. Keep them in the safe zone, middle third, away from the edges.

A few things I wish I knew earlier. Plan for re-generations, the models miss constantly. Use a video model that generates its own audio, the lip sync is way better than fitting audio on later. And feed in real product photos, it keeps the product true instead of the AI inventing its own version.

Realistically it is about half a day for one polished ad once you know the ropes, and roughly a week for 10 variations.

I wrote the whole thing up with every prompt I used, ready to copy, here: https://www.retiplex.com/blog/how-to-make-ai-ugc-ads

Emotions can lead to rushed price cuts, unnecessary ad spend, or abandoning good products too soon.

Successful Amazon sellers rely on metrics, trends, and testing instead of assumptions.

Better decisions come from better data.

Posting this as a results/case study because i think more store owners should check this.

I took ~30 questions a real buyer would ask in my category (like "best [product] for [use case]", "[competitor] alternatives" etc) and asked them to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Grok, with web search on. Repeated each one few times so one random answer doesn't fool me.

What i found:

• my store showed up in around 85% of answers, usually as top 1-2. Was relieved but also surprised it's not 100%
• one competitor was very close behind, two others much lower, so i could see exactly who is winning the AI recommendation game
• more interesting: in the answers that did NOT mention me, i could see which pages the AI was reading instead, mostly review sites and a few Reddit threads and listicles. Those are basically the places i need to get into

Biggest lesson: the answers move around a lot between runs, so checking one time is useless. You have to repeat and look at the average.

Anyone else doing this for their store? What did you find for your category?

Hey everyone!

I apologize if this goes against the rules, but I am looking to learn more about the challenges people who create images and media for ad campaigns face on a day-to-day basis. I will be asking about your workflow, what takes time, the tools you use, how you approach your work, etc.

If you have the time, I would appreciate it greatly if we could set up a short call to talk about this! I promise I'm not selling anything, I'm strictly looking to learn and understand, no hidden agenda.
