everyone's hyped about Google's new V3 video generation tool because it makes wild videos from just one prompt but no one is telling you how to actually make money with it So today I'm going to show you exactly how people are using VO to land $10,000 gigs pitch big video editing agencies and skip hiring expensive editors altogether And at the end I'm going to show you the same pitch that people are using right now to get in with video production companies who don't want to keep paying 10 grand per shoot And as a bonus I'm going to show you how to clone your voice and license it out to others for passive [Music] income But first what actually is V3 well it's Google Gemini's new AI video generation model And yes it is now public It's 250 bucks a month but you can get half off for the first 3 months But don't even worry about spending that right now because that's why I spent it so I could show you how to use it before you ever have to spend a dime But I'm telling you right now this thing is on a different level Nothing will ever be the same when it comes to video generation video production or video editing This isn't just some midjourney clone This is Hollywood level video fully AI generated from a single sentence Here's a couple examples that people are making with this Initial reports say we experienced a magnitude 9.0 earthquake Yo I need you to stay at the house I'm going to come get you Where is the prompt writer to save you from me where is he you still believe we're made of prompts none of us is real We're here because someone decided to write a prompt We all hate him for it You could have written a prompt that would make me happy Instead you wrote a prompt that made me sick He always says my cooking is not good but he finishes everything He knows I make the most delicious food ever Now it's not fair to compare this to Sora Cling Pika Runway This is different It's in a category all of its own Cling is good It's flashy but this stuff is mostly just eye candy It's a gimmick There's no storytelling There's no sound You get a visual but not like a real video Sora is good It's really good but it takes ages to stitch 8-second clips together and it's harder to monetize than V3 A lot of these video generation tools generate faces that glitch movements that are choppy or robotic There's no real cinematography but VO showed up and just nuked the entire category You've got real camera movement shallow depth of field sound design and audio baked right in Voices sound effects ambient noise straight from the prompt It's not just a visual generator It's the first AI filmmaker And there are so many ways we can monetize this stuff The CEO of DeepMind said "Vo marks the end of the silent era of AI video." Let that sink in We just left black and white behind We've been living in Charlie Chaplan's world and now Pixar just entered the picture This is full-blown IMAX I mean look at this video right here It was generated from the prompt "A paper boat set sail in a rainfilled gutter." And look at this cinematic close-up The water's flowing the boat's tilting the reflections are moving It looks like an A24 short film So whether you're a creator a marketer or just someone who doesn't want to shoot a hundred takes on your phone every week this is your moment 250 bucks a month sounds expensive until you realize you're getting an entire production team for the price of a single stock clip But the question is remember that's why you're here is how do you sell this how do you monetize this so let's get into it Let's talk about who's paying for this stuff or who would pay for this stuff First of all it's been 2 days and people are already making money with this Look at this Reddit post right here This guy makes $500,000 commercials for pharma companies And he generated something just as good for half a day's worth of work and $500 in credits He posted this It went viral Video production agencies started reaching out to him and he's quoting 10 to $15,000 to make commercials just like this with VO Crazy You don't need a huge following You don't need a big business or a lot of money You just need to start tinkering You need a laptop some strategy You need to watch this video Let's talk about the type of people and companies that would pay for services that you can sell with VO Number one brands Especially smaller brands that sell online Think ecom Shopify stores fitness skincare supplements coaching They all need a constant stream of video content for their Facebook ads their Instagram reels their Tik Toks their YouTube shorts their stories and they're tired of filming it themselves It's thousands of dollars a month So what do you do you offer them AI made UGC user generated content No paid actors no cameras no real people but it looks exactly like real people with high-end visuals that fit the brand You could charge1 to300 bucks a pop You could charge 500 to $1,000 a month for four to eight different videos Test all of these pricing models until you find what works The second is agencies This is kind of the sneaky play There are video production companies and marketing agencies out there paying real money for reals ads b-roll product shots stock photos So you could reach out to them and say "Hey I know you've already got a full team but what if I could generate assets for you without sending a crew?" Suddenly you're saving them time cutting their cost and making yourself more valuable Because most of these agencies don't want to mess with AI believe it or not They just want results They want what AI produces You can be the AI whisperer behind the curtain So here's how this works I make you free videos I actually know what I'm talking about I have no greasy sales pitch at the end And if you implement what I talk about you'll make a lot more money and have a better life And all I ask for in return is that you hit the subscribe button and maybe even the notification bell just like that Thank you Third real estate Realtors are paying hundreds of dollars for promo videos or thousands of dollars You can use VO to generate cinematic drone flyovers interior B-roll even like neighborhood lifestyle shots They just want to look like million-dollar agents You can help them get that vibe for $200 instead of $2,000 Fourth stock footage I like this one because it doesn't require any cold outreach anything intimidating If you're more the introvert type you can create these 5 to 10 second stock videos with one sentence prompts using VO or other AI video generation tools like Clling and upload them to sites like Pond 5 Adobe Stock or Art List You can focus on hyper niche moments such as chef cutting herbs in a rustic kitchen teen scrolling phone under neon light elderly couple walking through snow The more specific the better And if you don't know how to specifically prompt out a good video use chatbt to write the prompt for you And fifth service businesses think roofers landscapers med spas dog groomers tree trimming guys they never have video content And if they do they're paying too much for it As of two days ago they're paying way too much for it You could make these cinematic before and after reels with VO You could put their logo on it and offer a monthly content package You could do this in a permissionless way where you make it and send it to them before they even know who you are You will be the one standing out because no one else is doing this yet The bottom line is this tech is brand new Most people have no idea that it exists And that's your edge The second they catch up your edge is not as strong So move now test fast Send a bunch of DMs Sell one video Now you have a case study Then you can scale it So here in a little bit I'm going to show you exactly how to land your first client what to say what to do how to find them even if no one's ever heard of VO Okay Now let's talk about how to pitch agencies and get paid behind the scenes So this is the real unlock If you don't want to chase small clients or post on social media every day pitch to agencies because they're already doing all the client work You're just piggybacking on their book of business on their success You're just offering them a way to do it cheaper faster and easier So here's the play Find a high-end video production agency Could be local could be national Just start googling stuff like video agency plus your city Or you could check sites like Clutch or Upwork And you're going to look for agencies that charge real money for creative work Then you send them a message like this Hey not sure if your team is experimenting with AI video tools yet but I've been using Google's new VO model and it's nuts You can generate cinematic content from a text prompt and I'm using it to produce ads B-roll and UGC style content for brands without ever picking up a camera Happy to show a few examples if you're interested This could save your clients thousands on low-budget shoots without sacrificing quality Better yet it could prevent you from losing clients that are about to use these tools themselves That's it simple not pitchy You're just trying to start a conversation because the goal here isn't to like replace their whole team You're just offering to take the loweffort low margin work off their plate so that they can focus on the big high ticket stuff Believe it or not if you're on Twitter a lot Twitter is a bubble Most of these agencies are not deep into AI yet They're curious but they're overwhelmed And frankly they're a little freaked out So when you show up with something that they don't have like VO or have never heard of you instantly become a valuable resource And the beautiful part is that you can let them deal with all the clients You just deliver the content and get paid You're the ghost in the machine So go to their website find their portfolio find a couple of their clients and generate two to three VO videos promoting their clients and send it to them just to get their attention Make sure it looks like a commercial It needs to be polished And don't try to overexlain the tech because that just makes them feel dumb and they won't want to respond because of their ego Just show the results A lot of these agencies have clients paying $5 to $10,000 per video And if you help them deliver it for less you're now saving them money and increasing their margin Win-win One of these agency clients could turn into $1 to $4,000 a month every month without having to interact with their clients So take some time to learn these skills Build a demo folder Reach out Put it in a Google Drive Keep it casual You're not pitching AI You're pitching leverage You're trying to solve a problem All right Now I want to talk about how you could build your VO portfolio in just a weekend Now remember we're talking about a very very visual product So a cold email or text or whatever by itself is not going to do You've got to show them something Show them something that blows their mind And pretend like they've never logged into Twitter Like they have no idea what VO is because most likely they don't You just want to generate three to five good demo videos that prove you know what you're doing and you can make all of them this weekend So let's start with three niches Fitness food lifestyle All right here's prompt number one Cinematic slow motion of a man training alone in a dim warehouse gym Light beams through the windows Sweat is flying 8K moody music When it comes to prompting with VO the more specific the better Now if I take that prompt and put it into VO here's exactly what the video looks like Pretty incredible right here's another prompt for you Closeup of a steaming bowl of ramen on a wood counter Cinematic lighting Depth of field Chopsticks lift noodles slowly Here's what that one looks like Okay here's another prompt for you Stylized video of a woman walking through Tokyo at night Neon lights shallow focus The vibe is dreamlike and modern [Music] Make each one of these in your portfolio about 5 to 10 seconds Use background music Polish it up Upload it to Google Drive or Vimeo with no branding Now you've got a mini portfolio Oh and if you want more awesome prompts like these just feed these to Chat GBT as a reference and ask for 12 more And here's the cold DM that I would use to land your first client or agency deal And don't overlook DMing the owner of these agencies on Instagram because they're getting cold emailed all day long but people are not reaching out to them through their personal Instagram account Here's what I'd say to them if I were you Hey I know you have insert brand name as a client I just made a video for them Do you mind if I send it to you to see what you think you want them to opt in to getting pitched That is always more effective than just pitching them Then they're going to feel beholden to actually watching the video that you sent them because they agreed to receive it Keep the message short and casual Once they respond send the link to your Google Drive folder and then follow up like a maniac until they tell you to go away I guarantee you if you send this to 10 to 20 agency owners you're going to get responses from 10 to 30% of them One's going to ask for pricing One's going to ask how you did it One's going to say "Wow awesome but no thank you." In fact a lot of them will say "No thank you." But it's just a numbers game It's okay You just need one and you're in You're not trying to build a brand yet You're just trying to get some revenue What's the point of using these tools if we don't know how to monetize them all right now let's talk about turning VO into recurring income One-time payments are awesome Recurring is obviously better So here's the play Create a simple monthly content offer Here's why I like simple flat fee offers Because people want to know what their bill is at the end of the month You could say $50 a video and that is less enticing than $500 per month for 10 videos I promise you people just want to know what the bill is They don't want to have to guess or worry that they get this massive bill unexpectedly So yeah you could AB test both options but I guarantee you the latter is going to win So say something like four custom videos per month for 500 bucks No shoot days no gear just cinematic content delivered straight to your inbox That's it Who do you think's going to buy this well influencers and creators They need constant content but they don't want to film every week You become their quiet video team small businesses gyms med spas coffee shops chiropractors they want to look high-end online but they can't afford a full film crew So send them branded reels every month for $300 to $800 And hey what if you only do VO video generation for chiropractors or only for med spas then you can recycle the same freaking content with every customer Make a couple changes and your work just got cut in half You can sell this to agencies Offer them a white labeled VO content plan and they can sell it to their clients for double You stay behind the scenes and collect recurring checks They interface with the annoying customers And if you want to scale it fast you productize it Make one offer one deliverable one price For instance 750 bucks a month for four generated reels delivered on the 1st and 15th Build a landing page use Stripe and just start sending that link to people who already pay for content You don't need to upsell them Don't even think about that yet You don't need to do strategy calls You don't even need to talk much Let the videos do the talking the selling You're just selling the outcome which is a great video done for them Sign five clients at 500 bucks a month You've got 2500 bucks a month for a few days of work All from a tool that costs 250 bucks a month And the best part is that the deliverables don't change Once you know what works you can reuse prompt structures across industries So start this business only for chiropractors then only for coffee shops then only for influencers only for roofing companies etc etc You can literally copy and paste the landing page especially if you use something like card or web flow We're building leverage here So now let's talk about how to bundle your prompts into products that you can sell Here's how to monetize video without clients So video is cool but you know what's better long form audio via podcast and my newsletter tkopod.com Go there to subscribe for free to my newsletter It's one email a week Very tactical And then go to my audio podcast Three episodes a week Stuff like this You're going to love it All free No sleazy sales [ __ ] tkopod.com Let's say you hate working with clients The high ticket just isn't worth it for you Even the recurring isn't worth it for you You'd rather do low ticket and interact with no one You don't want to deal with revisions or send invoices or collect payments or all that Here's how to do it with VO prompt packs You already know that most people have no idea how to write a good prompt So you sell them the solution Pick a niche like weddings fitness travel luxury products Create 10 readytouse prompts Show an example video for each prompt Bundle it up and sell it on Gumroad or Notion for 29 bucks Sell it on Etsy You can niche down even more if you want 10 viral VO prompts for luxury realtors or eight high converting video ad prompts for skincare brands Now let's talk about stock footage This one's a little slower but it compounds over time You can use VO to generate clips that feel like modern stock footage Upload them to Pawn Five Art List or Adobe Stock The more specific the better Think of something like cinematic drone shot over wheat field at golden hour or barista pulling espresso in moody cafe lighting or teen in hoodie scrolling phone under neon street light That's the kind of stuff people buy when they're making ads or music videos Just because you're not a customer doesn't mean that customers don't exist And the third way to do this is through courses and tutorials There's going to be a gold rush of people trying to learn VO people like you So you get ahead of them by teaching it Do you think Google's going away do you think Google's going to stop doing video AI generation anytime soon of course not Google is out for OpenAI's throat So do something like launching a micro course Call it how to create ad ready videos using VO in under 10 minutes And the beautiful thing is you can create multiple of these businesses You could start with the agency business and make recurring revenue and then take everything you learned and put it in a course and start that business too We're not about having one business at a time right i mean come on Who are you talking to here while you're learning these things record your screen Why would you not document everything you're doing Even if you never publish it at least then you have it Show them your best prompts Break down what works Charge 49 bucks Or even better bundle it with your prompt pack together and offer both for 79 bucks You don't need a big audience or any audience You just need 50 people to trust you The fourth way to do this paid newsletter This is a long game A newsletter is a slow burn but they are somewhat straightforward to grow with Facebook and Instagram ads My newsletter grew to 154,000 subscribers over the last year and a half You could build an audience by sharing one crazy VO video or weekly prompt breakdowns or new use cases or anything If one of those goes viral you're off to the races If it doesn't go viral then you put paid ad spend behind it and you put it in front of your target audience You could call it something like the AI video drop or VO Vault or Vio Vong Keep it short visual and helpful And once you've got a few hundred readers drop a paid tier get a couple percent of them to opt in and then we can talk about community Because if you really go deep on this you could start a small private Discord or Slack group Charge 10 to 20 bucks a month Give people early access to prompts critiques feedback tools and then you can upsell them on anything you want hourly consulting advisory services You can take equity stakes in their businesses to help them grow The options are endless because you're not really selling info you're selling access No clients no scheduling just leverage That's how you turn VO into an income stream without having to talk to people So if I had to start all over gun to my head and use VO to make money and I only had 250 bucks no clients no audience here's how I'd do it Step one I'd buy access to VO That's really your only cost 250 bucks a month and it's half that for the first 3 months So really we're talking about starting a business with $133 including tax That gets you in the game If it feels like too much this probably isn't for you But if you're serious about making this work that's your seed money Step two I would generate three killer demo videos Not random clips stuff that looks like it could be a paid ad And here's a secret for doing exactly that Go to sora.com Click on the explore page filter it by top month and then video only And look exactly what Sora shows you Not only does it show you these incredible videos but it shows you the exact dang prompt that people use to generate that video You could copy those prompts More importantly you could learn from those prompts You could paste those prompts into ChatGBT a dozen at a time and say "What are the first principles that cause the video output of these prompts to be freaking amazing?" And then ChatGBT will teach you what it is about those prompts that make them amazing and specific because you're probably not going to be able to discern that on your own Look at these incredible videos on the Sora Explore page Don't look at the videos look at the prompts that generated them and there is so much you can learn there So use this trick to generate a few videos It could be a paid ad I'd start with three niches that spend money on content already today Fitness food fashion The three Fs Prompt number one slow motion of a man training in a gritty warehouse gym Sweat dust 8K moody lighting intense music Prompt two cinematic close-up of a chef plating upscale food warm lighting shallow depth of field clean textures Prompt three stylized montage of a woman walking through a luxury retail store Gliding camera classy vibe I would render those trim them to 5 to 10 seconds and upload to a clean Google Drive folder That's my portfolio Step three I would cold DM 30 people 15 agencies and 15 small brands My message would be simple Hey this is going to blow your mind I made this with AI It's a fraction of what you're already spending to make stuff that doesn't even look as good Do you mind if I send you a couple examples once they respond attach your three demos Even if they respond and say no attach your three demos No long pitch Let the work speak for itself And then step four follow up with anyone who replies and offer a test video for 100 bucks No meetings no contracts Just ask them something like "Tell me what vibe you want I'll send it back in 48 hours Once I land that first 100 bucks I'm going to reinvest it straight back into the next 30 DMs This time I'm going to target by niche coaches realtors local businesses with ugly videos And step five when I hit two to three paid videos I'm going to package it all up Now it's a $500 a month offer Four videos per month branded scheduled done for you And if I keep this cycle going I've got recurring income within 30 days And I've never posted once No audience no cold calls no editing no camera just ideas prompts and delivery You see VO is a tool but your offer is the product But now let's talk about using VO as a foot in the door to sell way more than just video So here's how to upsell your current VO clients into bigger retainers Let's say you just landed a client You're sending them VO videos 300 here 500 there Cool Now let's stack that into a real business because VO is your foot in the door But what you're really doing you're positioning yourself as their go-to creative Now you have to kind of make this mindset shift Most business owners hate content It's a distraction but they know it's important and then they feel guilty for not doing it They don't want to think about scripting branding captions thumbnails repurposing none of it They just want someone else to handle it but they don't want to pay too much That's where you come in So the moment someone actually pays you for a VO video you ask them one simple question Hey you want me to handle the rest of your content too that's it Short direct no pitch deck no funnel You've earned their trust So now you're going to take what you're already doing and add a few things that you know they already need Here's a sample offer you could use Four VO videos per month repurposed into Instagram reels Tik Toks YouTube shorts Facebook reels branded thumbnails captions plus optimized posting format And then optionally you could add one landing page or email per month And the price thousand bucks a month And your pitch you're contrasting this against a social media manager that might cost two to four times that You've got to pitch your offer against something that they might use that's way more expensive It can't stand alone by itself And as you earn their trust and show your value you can scale that 1,000 a month to $2,000 a month and beyond And no you don't have to do all this work yourself You could outsource the captions You could use Canva templates Cap Cut virtual assistants You could automate things with Chat GBT with Gum Loop with Lindy You're trying to become the creative director here not the virtual assistant because you're trying to move from freelancer to partner because at the end of the day most of your clients don't just want videos they want results they want attention they want more money they want more sales they want someone who can think for them So you're just using VO really to open the door throw your foot in there and then sell the full package All you need is one client and your VO license is paid four times over Five clients you're quitting your job 10 clients six figures a year Now let's talk about how to get ahead of the wave because once VO goes mainstream this is going to get a lot more competitive Okay so now you know how to take VO from just a fun tool into real cash Whether it's one-off projects monthly retainers prompt packs stock footage or agency work you've got a plan But the longer you wait to execute on this the less attractive the plan is going to be because more competitors will rush in Every tool that gives people leverage eventually becomes saturated And VO is no different Content's insane right now Everyone's freaking out and the competition is basically zero There's never been a better time to launch something like this Will this still be around in 5 years yeah it'll just be harder Right now you have the benefit of no competition and everyone is shocked by this Okay in six months to 12 months people won't be shocked and you'll have more competition So if you're going to make a move make it now Start with one demo one DM land one paid video That's it You're in Now you got a case study Now you got a track record So let's pivot a little bit Almost no one knows about this but if you go to 11labs.io io and record your voice You can license out your voice on their marketplace and make money A little bit of work on the front end recording your voice and then passive income It's not going to be a lot You're not going to be making many thousands per month but it's very common for people to be making hundreds per month and some are making over a thousand per month for an hour's worth of work Well if you have a weird accent or kind of a weird voice even better any language any accent any tonality the weirder the better because anything normal sounds AI generated ironically enough So you're gonna record some clean samples of yourself If you've already recorded yourself talking or something you could use that You could just upload an existing file The trick is to read in different tones excited nervous agitated and then upload all of those voices into 11 Labs and train your voice profile Then you can list it in their licensing marketplace People use this for audio books YouTube support channels customer support bots and more You can price it per second or per project And if you really want to lean in you can build niche versions of your voice like a high energy Gen Z narrator or a calm Christian meditation voice or a luxury brand explainer tone Once it's live you do nothing They use your voice you get paid And then you can even pair that with VO and you have AI visuals and AI voice without lifting a finger And it's this is just the first time in history that creative people can scale without hiring filming or editing So use it Please subscribe if you found this helpful Share with a friend if they could find this helpful Check out my free newsletter at tkopod.com my community at
