# Make an ad from a product link

> Autopilot reads your product page and makes the ad for you. What it asks for, what it costs, and what you approve.

> [!TIP]
>
> **Short answer:** Press **Create**, then **Autopilot**. Paste your product link, choose Video, Image ads or Campaign, and press **Research my product**. The research is free, and you see the script and the cost before anything is made.
>
> * Credits are only taken when you approve.
> * No link? Type the details in yourself.

Autopilot is the quickest route. You give it a link and it does the research, the script, the creator and the edit.

## What it costs

A full UGC video is 100 credits. Image ads are 10 credits each. Captions add 10 credits and are switched on by default, which gets you both a captioned and an uncaptioned version.

**Nothing is charged until you approve the script.**

## How to do it

**1. Open Autopilot**

Press **Create**, then **Autopilot**. The page says *"Let's make your ad."*

**2. Paste your product link**

Paste the address of your product page. If you have made an ad before, your saved products are listed underneath under **Or start from a saved product** — pick one instead and skip the research.

No link? Press **No link? Add product details manually** and type them in.

**3. Choose what you are making**

Three options. **Video** is one UGC ad. **Image ads** are a few stills. **Campaign** is a full set of videos and stills together — the price of a campaign depends on what ends up in it, so check the estimate before approving.

Campaign needs the **Riff** or **Encore** plan. On Pay as you go or Hook, its tile shows a lock and can't be picked. See [plans and what they cost](https://ugcfirst.com/help/billing/plans-and-what-they-cost.md).

**4. Press Research my product**

It reads the page, the photos and the claims, then works out who buys products like yours. This takes a couple of minutes and does not cost credits.

**5. Read the script, then approve**

You get the script and the plan before anything renders. This is the point to change your mind. Credits are taken when you approve, not before.

## Setting the country and language

Under **Advanced options** you can set the **Region** — United States, United Kingdom, Canada or Australia — and the **Language** — English, Spanish, French or German. The region changes who the ad is written for, not only the spelling.

## If the link does not work

Some product pages cannot be read from outside. See [why we could not read your link](https://ugcfirst.com/help/troubleshooting/why-couldnt-we-read-your-product-link.md).
