She speaks to the camera about the years of teaching that led her to build the course. A founder line carries weight when it names real experience. Replace the ten years of teaching with your own background, whether that is a trade, a degree or time working in the field, and keep the second line to one design decision about the course. Choosing a short lesson length as that decision gives the viewer a reason that sounds practical. Swap it for anything true about your product, and end on an invitation to try the first lesson. ## Why this format works Learners buy from people they believe have done the work. A founder in a recognizable setting, like a classroom, signals experience before a single credential is listed. One design decision explained in plain words makes the course feel considered. ## Script - Hook: I taught for ten years before building this course. - Body: Every lesson is ten minutes, because that is what students finish. - CTA: Come try lesson one. ## Prompt Paste this into the EzUGC video generator. ```text Vertical 9:16 handheld UGC video filmed on a phone, soft late-afternoon light. A woman in her mid 40s with shoulder-length auburn hair, wearing a green blouse and a thin gold necklace, stands in an empty classroom after the school day with rows of wooden desks and a large whiteboard with no readable marks behind her. She rests one hand on a desk chair, looks into the camera with a warm, steady expression, and gestures a small circle with her free hand as she talks. Golden sunlight streams through tall windows on the left, gentle natural handheld movement, shallow depth of field. She speaks in a warm, measured voice: "I taught for ten years before building this course. Every lesson is ten minutes, because that is what students finish. Come try lesson one." Native audio with her voice and a faint echo of the room. No logos, no brand names and no printed text anywhere, and the whiteboard has no writing. No on-screen text, no captions, no watermarks. Realistic hands with five fingers, natural face, authentic founder video style. ``` ## Steps 1. Open the template. Click Make this ad and sign in. The prompt, 8 seconds and 480p portrait arrive prefilled. 2. Write your true background. Replace the teaching line with the real experience behind your course. State it as a plain fact with no inflated numbers. 3. Pick one design decision. Describe a single choice that shaped the course, such as lesson length, feedback loops or small cohorts. 4. Try two settings. Render the same line in a classroom and in a home studio. Two renders use 400 credits and give two distinct ad variants. ## Hook ideas - I taught for ten years before building this course. - I watched students quit long courses, so I made a short one. - I built this program for the learner I used to be. - Here is what a decade in classrooms taught me about courses. - I wrote lesson one at my kitchen table at midnight. - The first version of this course was embarrassingly long. ## FAQ ### Can I use a founder story if I never taught in a classroom? Yes. Change the setting and the background line to your true experience, such as a studio, a workshop or an office, and keep the claim factual. ### How specific should the design decision be? One concrete choice is enough, like lesson length or cohort size. A list of features becomes hard to say clearly in 8 seconds. ### What does the founder clip cost in credits? It is one 8-second render at 480p, which is 200 credits. Two setting variations come to 400 credits. ### Are credentials safe to mention in the line? Only mention credentials that are true and that you can document. Skip any claim about student outcomes since you cannot guarantee them. ### Does the empty classroom look realistic? It reads well when the prompt names a few elements, such as wooden desks and tall windows. Avoid listing posters or wall displays, which render as unreadable shapes.
