this surreal video got 31 million views this video of a train with hands 10 million views and this one of this huge head 6 million views that's how many views this YouTube account is getting using a single AI method to create these videos so a couple of days ago I found this video it was a super highquality AI video of surreal creatures walking down a foggy street but here's what really blew my mind it had 31 million views and over 3,000 comments what's even interesting is that this channel has only uploaded 34 videos and managed to rack up 188,000 subscribers in just a few months with YouTube paying around 6 cents per 1,000 views this account is making well over $9,000 a month just from ad revenue alone and that's just the beginning this creator is smart because after digging a little deeper I found that they post the same videos on their Instagram page they managed to rack up over 300,000 followers and every reel hits millions of views not only that a Tik Tok page with 114,000 followers again millions of views on their shorts and I didn't stop there i found out that this creator is using a secret strategy across his YouTube Instagram and Tik Tok pages this strategy makes them over $30,000 a month on top of what they're already making from ad revenue and in this video I'm going to break down exactly how they're doing it by the time you're done watching you'll have everything you need to make your first $1,000 and the best part you can do it for completely free all I ask is hit that like button and follow everything I'm about to show you step by step when I first saw these videos I thought "This has to be made by a professional animator or something." But turned out it's way easier than I thought so I gave myself 48 hours to dig through every AI tool I could find until I finally cracked it i found the exact method this creator is using to pump out these viral masterpieces but before we dive in let me be clear with you this isn't going to be one of those rushed tutorials where you walk away more confused than when you started this is a full transparent breakdown i'm talking literally every step every tool every setting every prompt and not just that I'm going to copy their most viral video that got 31 million views using the exact same AI method and at the end I'm going to break down their secret monetization strategy that makes them over $30,000 a month on autopilot and here's the kicker nobody else is talking about this method so it's still completely untapped and just to prove it actually works here's a quick clip of the video I made using the exact same method I'm about to show you [Music] so the first thing we're going to do is post videos across all social media platforms not just YouTube as I showed you earlier this creator isn't just on YouTube they're posting the same videos on Tik Tok and Instagram we all know that Tik Tok and YouTube Shorts pay money for views well it's true but there's a catch tik Tok only monetizes accounts with at least 10,000 followers and even then you need to be in specific countries like the US or the UK for YouTube you'll need at least 1,000 subscribers and 10 million views in the last 90 days just to start earning so yeah you're off to a rough start however I've been digging around for solutions to help you monetize accounts right away especially for those who want to start making money from their very first post and guess what i found a website that sells pre-monetized accounts basically these are accounts that have grown organically to meet all the monetization requirements so in case you want to skip the hard work and start earning immediately I'll drop the link in the description anyways now that you've got your accounts ready let's get into creating these viral AI videos one of this channel's most viral videos is this surreal clip towering humanoid figures with ridiculously long legs and it's pretty obvious why this video blew up it's unique shocking and completely different from most of the other videos now to make things super easy for you I've put together a step-by-step blueprint in a Google doc that will walk you through everything I'm about to show you in this video you'll find it linked in the description all right so the first step is to generate images of these surreal figures then we'll use an AI tool to animate these images into a full video but before we can do that we need a killer prompt that will generate exactly the kind of images we want and let me tell you this is probably the hardest part i mean look at this it literally looks like something out of a Marvel movie how do you even compete with that so I spent hours testing tweaking and refining dozens of prompts and lucky for you I found the exact prompt you need now let's put it to work first head over to Google and search for Microsoft Copilot once you're there paste the prompt right here and it'll generate the exact kind of images we want of course you can use ChatgPT for this but I tested both and Copilot just gives way better results for this kind of thing now that we've got our image prompts it's time to generate the actual images since we don't want to spend a bunch of money on software I always use Leonardo AI because it's free and super easy to use so head over to Leonardo AI and sign up for an account once you're in click on image creation now if you've never used this tool before anything you type into this box Leonardo will turn into an image but before we paste our prompt we need to tweak a few key settings to get the best results first switch to this new model called flow state i already tested this in my AI Cat guitar tutorial video and trust me it gives amazing results next set the aspect ratio to 9 by6 which is perfect for YouTube shorts Tik Tok and Instagram all right now we're ready to bring our first prompt to life i'll head over to Copilot grab the first image prompt paste it into Leonardo AI and hit generate and look at that these images are almost identical to the ones in this video that got 31 million views but of course we're not stopping here we need to create different types of figures and combine them to make the video as engaging as possible so all you got to do is go back copy the next prompt and generate more images and just look at these results absolutely mind-blowing now for this demo we only need six images so I'll just download the best ones and once that's done we're ready for the next step it's time to transform these stunning images into a complete video you can use any tool you want kling AI Pika labs Hyper AI or Runway but for this demo I'll be using Hiluo AI and let me tell you I've tested almost every tool out there and this one gave me exactly the results I was looking for so here's what to do next open your browser search for Halo AI and click on the first link once you're on the website hit sign in at the top right and log in with Google if you're a new user lucky you you get a 3-day unlimited free trial and even if you're an existing user you still get 100 free tokens daily which is pretty awesome now once you're on the website you'll notice two options: text to video and image to video since we already have our images we'll choose image to video now here's what I'll do next upload the first image and in the description box type out a simple action that describes what's happening i'll type something like walking slowly and hit create i'll repeat the same for all the remaining images but keep in mind that if you're a free user the generation process might take a while so take a break help an old lady cross the street maybe touch some grass or whatever i'm just kidding but seriously if waiting isn't your thing here's a little hack this is the obvious one haha you can log in with another Gmail account or better yet ask your friends if you can borrow theirs and you're back to creating in no time all right now that the videos are ready let's take a quick look at this one isn't that amazing seriously it looks like a clip of a movie or something so the next step is simple download all the videos to your device once that's done we've got 80% of the resources we need but to make the video actually go viral you want to make it as engaging as possible that's why we want to add sound effects and background music and don't worry I'll show you exactly where to find the best ones in a bit but for now let's move on to the final step we're not going to do any crazy editing here and to keep things as cheap as possible for you we're going to use a free tool like Cap Cut first things first open up a brand new project and import the videos from Hailuo AI next drag the videos to the timeline one by one until you've added all the clips to make it look a bit smoother I like to add some kind of transition just click on this button in the top left and go on something smooth like this one to apply it just drag it between the first two clips you can also press this button that says apply to all and it'll be added throughout the entire video but we're not done yet we're going to level this up and make it look crazy realistic by adding some effects so head over to the effects tab look for an effect called play pendulum and drag it right on top of all the clips once that's added tweak these settings real quick so I think that's pretty much all you need to do but before we actually export the video I'd recommend adding some sound effects to make it more realistic for this I always use an AI tool called Dupdub if you haven't heard of it Dubdub is like an all-in-one AI toolbox it pretty much does everything ai avatars voiceovers voice cloning even avatar cloning and yep this avatar I'm using right now is made with DUPDUP i'll drop the link down below and check it out for yourself for the sake of this video we're using its sound effects feature here's how it works just click on sound effects and it'll ask you to type in a description but don't worry you don't have to come up with anything yourself i'll just head back to Copilot and have it generate the perfect prompt for me of course you don't have to type anything either just copy it straight from Google Docs and just like that Copilot gave me a detailed description of the sound effects now I'll copy them and paste them into DUPDUP as a quick tip DUPDUP allows you to generate sound effects up to 22 seconds but I recommend keeping it under 10 seconds for the best results then make sure to max out the stability option for the highest quality sound after that just hit generate and let DUPDUP work its magic check it out it sounds incredible so repeat this process until you've got all the sound effects you need and once that's done let's hop back into Cap Cut i'll upload the sound effects drag them onto the timeline and match each one to its corresponding video clip this step ties everything together and makes the video really pop now the final touch we need is some background music if you've already got something in mind feel free to go ahead and use it just make sure it's not copyrighted but if you're feeling fancy and want something fresh head over to Epidemic Sound for highquality music but since I'm keeping things cheap and simple let's use Pixabay just type in a genre in the search box i'd recommend typing either cinematic or fear for this type of video and you'll get a list of songs to choose from listen through a few and once you find one that fits hit the download button next head back over to Cap Cut upload the track and drag it onto the timeline you may want to adjust it a little bit to match the clips so that's pretty much all the editing you need to do now we're ready to export the video just click on this blue button and you'll see the export settings set the resolution to 1080p and the frame rate to 60 to get the best quality possible finally hit export and now we can move on to the monetization strategy but first check out how it turned out as you can see it turned out almost identical to the video we tried to replicate now as I mentioned at the beginning I'm going to show you how this Chinese creator turned these videos into an actual $30,000 a month business so here's the secret to turn an account like this into an actual business you need to sell a digital product these are products like courses editing packs music literally anything digital and there are two reasons why digital products are so profitable you only need to set up the product once from there you can sell it an unlimited number of times with zero additional product costs the second reason is that you don't have to worry about shipping or stock since everything is digital the consumer will receive the product immediately after the purchase goes through so I looked into how this account is monetizing these videos and guess what I found they're actually selling a paid guide that includes all the steps and assets for creating these types of AI shorts they're using on their channel but here's the twist to access this guide you have to pay 1,500 yen which is about $32 let's say this creator is only getting 1,000 people a month to buy their guide from all their platforms just 1,000 it sounds like nothing right now multiply that by $32 yep that's $32,000 every month and here's the kicker you can do the exact same thing i'm going to show you step by step how to create your own guide set it up once and then turn it into a cash machine you can apply this method to literally any AI niche doesn't matter if it's surreal art animations AI cat videos or whatever weird rabbit hole you're into and you don't need a dollar to start it's completely free but before we get into the good stuff if you want more videos like this make sure to subscribe and drop a like you know this *** takes me ages to research and find so yeah the first thing you want to do is head over to Google Docs then write a simple step-by-step guide on how to create these videos including the tools needed and all that stuff to make things easier for you I've already done all the hard work by putting the full step-by-step guide in a Google doc that you can find in the description all you've got to do is edit it and add some screenshots between each step then save it as a PDF file now that you've got your PDF the next step is to find a website where you can sell your digital product there are actually tons of websites like Shopify Hostinger Wix and more but here's the catch they are paid tools but don't worry I did some digging and I found a website called PayHip and it's 100% free you don't have to pay any subscription fees or anything i'll drop the link down below for you once you sign up just click on the products tab then hit new product and select digital product now you're ready to upload your PDF let's go ahead and upload it now you'll need to type the title of your guide you can go with something like how to create AI surreal videos or whatever fits your niche then set the price for your guide since this niche is still untapped and a lot of people will be interested in learning about it we can sell the PDF for up to $30 which is affordable yet profitable for us the next thing you'll need is a product image no need for fancy software canva will get the job just fine once you've opened Canva head over to the templates section and in the search bar type something like digital product you'll see a bunch of pre-made templates pop up for you to choose from let's go ahead and select this one and then click on customize now let's change the title to something like how to create surreal videos to match our guide next I'm going to ungroup these images and replace them with the surreal images we generated earlier once you're happy with it just download the image of course if you're taking this seriously you'll want to put some extra effort into this i'm just showing you how it works all right after you uploaded the image you'll also need to add a short description for the product so that potential buyers have a clear idea of what to expect from the guide you can write something like "This guide shows how to create surreal AI videos the tools needed and how to make money with them." Once that's done just click on add product as you can see we now have our link if you click here you'll see how the product page will look so now our digital product is all set up it comes the important part how do we get people to buy it it's simple all you got to do is copy the product link and place it in the bio of all your social media accounts as you've seen this creator added their link on Instagram Tik Tok and YouTube every time someone clicks it they go straight to the product page where they can buy the PDF but here's the thing you know people won't just click on it for no reason to actually get people to take action you need to add a CTA in your video description or pinned comment something simple like "Click the link in my bio to learn how to create these AI videos." And the best part if just one video goes viral this guide could make you thousands of dollars per month with minimal effort you know this is a huge opportunity so if you want to know how to create these AI guitar videos just click this video next see you there
