How I Used AI to Write Dropshipping Ads That Scaled to $50k/Month (Free Scripts Inside)
My first dropshipping ad was so bad, Facebook banned it for ‘excessive cheesiness.’ I tried everything—slick sales jargon, ALL CAPS, even a cringe-worthy jingle. Then I discovered AI… and finally cracked the code to ads that actually convert.
In this post, I’ll share the exact ChatGPT prompts, AI tools, and scripts that helped me turn $500 into $50k/month—without sounding like a used-car salesman. Spoiler: It’s all about blending AI efficiency with human wit."
Body
Step 1: Why My Early Ads Flopped (And Yours Might Too)
- Ad Disasters:
- Ad 1: “BUY THIS PRODUCT OR YOU’LL REGRET IT FOREVER!!!” → 0 sales.
- Ad 2: AI-generated script about “revolutionary toothbrushes” → flagged as spam.
- AI Fix: Stopped letting ChatGPT write for me and started training it to write with me.
Step 2: The AI Ad Script Framework That Converts
(Formula for Human-Like Hooks)
A. The “3-Second Hook” Prompt:
```
Act as a TikTok ad expert. Write 5 hooks for a [product] targeting [audience].
Use curiosity + humor. Example: ‘PSA: Your shower is judging you. Here’s why.
```
- Example Output for “Waterproof Phone Holder”:
Drop your phone in the shower again? Congrats, you’re funding Big Repair’s yacht. Here’s Plan B.
B. The “Pain-to-Solution” Body:
```
Write a 30-second ad script for [product]. Start with a problem, agitate it, then solve it.
Include a relatable story, like my phone surviving a shampoo avalanche.
```
- Pro Tip: Add specific details (e.g., “I tested 37 holders—this one stuck through my toddler’s bubble bath chaos”).
C. The “Anti-Cringe” CTA:
```
Generate 10 non-sleazy CTAs for [product]. Avoid ‘Buy Now’—use FOMO or humor instead.
```
- Winner: Get it before your phone becomes a pool toy. (5 left at this price!)
Step 3: AI Tools That Make Ads Look Pro (Without a Designer)
(Ethical Automation)
A. Canva + AI:
- Use Magic Design to turn product photos into carousel ads.
- Prompt: “Create a TikTok ad for a waterproof phone holder—modern, funny, teal accents.”
B. MidJourney for Thumbnails:
- Prompt: “A phone floating in a shower with rubber ducks, cinematic lighting, 8k” → Edit in Photoshop Express.
C. Pictory.ai:
- Turn scripts into videos with AI voiceovers (I used *l“friendly but sarcastic” tone).
Step 4: How I A/B Tested AI Ads to 4x ROAS
- Toolstack:
1. AdCreative.ai: Generated 20 ad variations in 10 minutes.
2. Triple Whale: Tracked which hooks drove the cheapest link clicks.
3. SurferSEO: Repurposed top-performing ad copy into SEO blog content.
- Result:
- Ad Spend: $500 → $50k/month.
- ROAS: 1.5x → 4x.
Step 5: Dodging Ad Platform Bans (AI’s Dirty Little Secret)
- Problem: AI can generate flagged keywords (e.g., “miracle cure”).
- Fix: Ran drafts through Originality.ai to detect “spammy phrases.
- Example Edit:
- Before: “This product will change your life!”
- After: “This product saved my phone from my shower’s wrath 12 times.”
Ethical AI Disclosure
Transparency time:
- AI Use: ChatGPT drafts ideas, but every script is edited by me (no copy-paste!).
- Results: My $50k/month required testing—it’s not typical.
- Affiliates: Tools like Canva Pro are affiliate links. I only recommend what I use.
Conclusion
AI won’t write your winning ad—but it’ll hand you the blueprint. Start with one script, test it ruthlessly, and tweak until it sounds like you.
