Intro
0:00People are secretly making thousands
0:01of dollars using Claude to make AI
0:03influencers like this,
0:05this, and this, all from the comfort
0:07of their own home without showing
0:08their face.
0:09I've generated $100,000 USD in the
0:11last 30 days with my AI creators.
0:13AI influencers are changing the entire game.
0:16This is actually generating sales.
0:18Over $2,000 USD.
0:19$200,000 USD profit.
0:21We made over $103,000 USD.
0:24Some are even calling it the laziest
0:27AI side hustle.
0:28But does this really work,
0:30or is it just AI's slot?
0:32Well, as a businessman who made his
0:34millions the old school way,
0:35to put it lightly, I'm highly skeptical.
0:39So I'm giving myself seven days to see
0:41how much money I can make.
0:42I'll be documenting the whole process,
0:44and of course, sharing the raw results.
0:47And if I don't make at least
0:48$1,000 USD, I'll give someone down in
0:50the comments $1,000 USD of my own money.
0:53But I must follow these three rules.
0:55One, I have to get this whole thing up
0:58and running for less than $99 USD.
1:01Two, I can't use my own face
1:04or voice, so I don't have an advantage.
1:07And three, I have to create my first
1:10AI influencer before the end of the day.
1:12Okay, start the timer.
Step 1. Spy On The Competition
1:17So first up on our to-do list is to
1:20spy on the competition and figure out
1:22all of their secrets.
1:24Now, I'm going to start with one
1:26that I've actually heard of.
1:27She's called Lil Miquela,
1:29and she's actually pretty popular with
1:31over 2 million followers.
1:33Here she is at the Met Gala.
1:35I didn't get an invite myself,
1:36but there you go.
1:37And there she is at the Grammys.
1:39So how is Lil Miquela making over
1:42$11 USD million a year?
1:44Well, they're working with massive
1:45brands, including Prada and Calvin Klein.
1:49So let's write brand deals in the
1:52money section.
1:53And Lil Miquela is positioned as a
1:55full-blown supermodel,
1:57which just goes to show you how far
1:59you can take it.
2:00I think I found another one.
2:01This is Mother Satori,
2:03and she's a US-based holistic expert.
2:07Now, health is one of the most
2:08profitable niches out there
2:10because people will always pay to feel
2:12better and live a little bit longer.
2:13I'm going to have to watch this one.
2:15Wife, that's my mother.
2:17No way.
2:18How old are you?
2:20108 years old.
2:22Wow, 108 years old.
2:24I thought I was the old one around here.
2:26So the unique selling point,
2:28let's put old age.
2:30At the end of every video,
2:31she promotes this.
2:33It looks like some sort of gut cleanse
2:35detox drink.
2:37She gets thousands of views every
2:39single day, and the comment section is
2:41full of people asking to buy it.
2:43Just imagine how much money she's
2:44making by promoting this one product alone.
2:47Right, let's quickly blast through
2:49some more as I'm running out of time.
2:55These AI influencers are everywhere.
2:58I found this girl who posts glamorous
3:00lifestyle photos and makes these
3:02podcast-style reels about
3:03relationships.
3:04Check this guy out.
3:05He's a hardworking,
3:07patriotic British guy,
3:08pouring his heart and soul into
3:10crafting these beautiful wooden flanks.
3:12Or is he?
3:13No, of course he's not.
3:15Now, is this ethical?
3:17No, because the person behind the
3:19account is lying to their customers.
3:20But is it making a load of money?
3:23Almost certainly, yes.
3:25Then there's this AI granny who's just
3:27doing the craziest things,
3:29and she's got over 2 million followers.
3:31And after looking through all these
3:33accounts, it looks like the people
3:34running them are making money in all
3:36these different ways,
3:37which we'll look at properly in a second.
3:39First though, let's decide on a niche
3:42for our own AI influencers.
3:44There's usually three niches
3:45that I've seen that make the most
3:47money, health, wealth,
3:49and relationships.
3:49Two of them are already on the board,
3:52so we definitely know these can work.
3:54But funnily enough,
3:55not a single one of the AI accounts I
3:57looked at was talking about money
3:59or wealth, which means we found a gap
4:02in the market.
4:03Of course, if you guys have any
4:04special interests,
4:05it's always worth leaning into those
4:07because you'll have an advantage over
4:09everyone else.
4:10Now, to give ourselves the best
4:12possible chance of success,
4:13I think we should create three
4:15different AI influencers in each of
4:17these profitable niches.
4:19So we can tick step one off our list
4:22and then move on to step two,
Step 2. Generate Character Ideas
4:26generating character ideas.
4:28I want this to be as lazy as possible,
4:31so let's use AI to generate some ideas.
4:34I'm going to head over to Claude.
4:35Now, I'm already on their free plan,
4:37which will be perfect for this.
4:39So let's type create a character
4:43profile for an AI influencer in the
4:49health niche.
4:51Give them a name, a backstory,
4:55a distinct look, and a unique selling point.
5:00Now let's see what it comes up with.
5:02Okay, so Amos.
5:04Now, that sounds pretty mysterious.
5:07I quite like that.
5:08101 years old, a bit like me,
5:11I guess.
5:12Learned traditional remedies passed
5:14down through his family.
5:15This is starting to sound like a male
5:18version of Mother Satori,
5:20which to be fair,
5:21clearly makes a lot of money.
5:23Shaved head, long beard.
5:25Okay, that's pretty interesting,
5:27and that should help him stand out online.
5:30Now, do it for the wealth niche.
5:34Okay, so let's see what we've got here.
5:38Grandma Vivian.
5:39Started with nothing,
5:41made loads of money,
5:42been through three husbands,
5:44private jets,
5:45designer, head to toe.
5:46So she's basically a bougie boss grandma.
5:49Maybe I'll have to hit her up.
5:51Almost everyone in this niche is a
5:53young man in a rented Lambo.
5:55She is the exact opposite.
5:57That's very true.
5:58I think that's actually one of the
5:59reasons I'm- I managed to stand out in
6:01the wealth niche.
6:02Okay, now finally do it for the
6:04relationships niche.
6:06So we've got Sienna,
6:08stylish, 22 years old,
6:10talks about her dating life
6:12and situationship drama.
6:13This reminds me of the AI influencer
6:15that we found earlier called Olivia.
6:17So this should give us a good chance
6:20at making money.
6:21But at the same time,
6:22I'm definitely not fully convinced
6:23that all of this stuff is actually
6:25gonna work.
6:26But with that said, we have our ideas.
6:28So let's move on to step three,
6:33generate the photos.
6:35I've been looking into a few different
Step 3. Generate The Photos
6:37options for tools we can use to do this.
6:40And it seems like Higgsfield is one of
6:42the best.
6:42So let's head over to their website
6:44and click sign up.
6:47And okay, it's given me the option to
6:49continue with Google, Apple.
6:52But to be honest, I think I'm gonna
6:54just use email.
6:55So I'll tick agree to terms of use
6:58and then continue with email
7:01and then click continue.
7:03So it looks like I'm in and it's
7:05asking me a few questions.
7:07So first up, how do you plan to use
7:10Higgsfield?
7:11For personal use.
7:13And so what do you want to achieve
7:15with Higgsfield?
7:17I wanna create avatars.
7:19And how experienced are you with AI?
7:22Well, I'd like to say at least
7:25intermediate at this stage.
7:26Look, I'm not doing bad for an old boy.
7:28Oh, and it's just popped up with a
7:30personal offer.
7:31But to be honest with you,
7:33we don't need this deal
7:34because we've got a much better one.
7:36When I was doing a bit of research
7:37into the top AI tool to use,
7:39I was actually a bit cheeky
7:41and reached out to Higgsfield
7:42and asked them if they'd do me a
7:44little discount.
7:45Because as you know, I love a little discount.
7:47And surprisingly, they said yes.
7:49And even said that the first 5,000 of
7:51you guys that use the code will get
7:53the same discount.
7:55So to use this code,
7:56I'm just gonna close this window
7:58and I'm gonna click skip this offer.
8:02Now I can go to my profile picture in
8:04the corner here and click manage account.
8:07Then I can go over here to promo code
8:10and type in Tilbury,
8:12T-I-L-B-U-R-Y.
8:14So I'm gonna click claim.
8:17There we go.
8:18Nice, it's been added to my account.
8:20By the way, I know all of this is a
8:23bit confusing.
8:24So I'll drop a link in the description
8:25below if you guys wanna follow along.
8:27There's lots of different offers here.
8:29Starter, plus, ultra.
8:31To be honest, the only thing I'm
8:33really concerned about is the amount
8:35of videos I can make.
8:37And I see there's over a hundred
8:38videos here on this ultra one.
8:40So let's go with that.
8:42And as you can see,
8:43it's under budget.
8:44And boom, we're in.
8:46Time to start making some AI influences.
8:48Luckily, we can connect Higgsfield
8:50with Claude and do pretty much
8:52everything in a single chat.
8:54So on Claude, let's go to customize,
8:58then click connectors,
9:01add, and then add custom connector.
9:05Then I'm gonna paste this link.
9:07Now let's click add,
9:09and that's it.
9:11Claude and Higgsfield are now talking
9:13to each other.
9:13Now it's time to create the images of
9:15our characters,
9:16starting with Amos,
9:17our health influencer.
9:19And from my past experience dabbling
9:21with AI, I've learned the key to
9:23getting the best results is starting
9:25with a good prompt.
9:26But instead of spending ages writing
9:27something really detailed
9:29and complex, I'll just tell Claude to
9:31write one for me.
9:32Of course, I'll add all of my prompts
9:34to the cheat sheet in the description
9:36so you can copy these too,
9:38or change them up,
9:39depending on what you want your AI
9:41influencer to look like.
9:42I've mentioned that I want a couple of
9:43different angles, a full body shot,
9:46and a closeup.
9:47Then I've given a description of Amos,
9:50what he looks like,
9:51and what he's wearing.
9:52I also said I want him on a white
9:54background with realistic looking
9:57skin, because he can't be looking like
9:58an airbrush model when he's supposedly
10:00living off the land.
10:01Okay, wow, this is a monster.
10:03I'm glad I didn't have to type all of
10:05this out, that's for sure.
10:06And all that's left for me to do is to
10:09type yes, and it should,
10:12fingers crossed,
10:12generate some images of Amos.
10:15Okay, here we go.
10:17He actually looks very realistic,
10:20but I do have a bit of a problem.
10:22He looks younger than me,
10:23unless he's got some sort of crazy
10:25skin routine.
10:26He definitely doesn't look 101 years old.
10:28So let's type, make him a few years older.
10:32Oh, that's better.
10:34Still looks younger than me though,
10:35but I'll accept it.
10:37So now let's generate some scenes to
10:39put him in.
10:40I'm thinking his porch,
10:45farmhouse kitchen,
10:47vegetable garden, and yard,
10:50as he's American and that's what they
10:52call it.
10:53Wow, these look very realistic.
10:54I definitely expect Amos to be hanging
10:56out here.
10:57So now let's repeat these steps for
10:59our other two influencers
11:00and see what it spits out.
11:02Just for the sake of time,
11:03I'm gonna go through this quickly.
11:10Now this is perfect.
11:14The sunglasses, the jewelry,
11:15the fur coat.
11:17Now that has got to be the coolest
11:19grandma you've ever seen.
11:21It looks like that woman from 101
11:22Dalmatians, doesn't it?
11:24Now for the locations.
11:26So we've got a private jet,
11:28a sports car, very nice.
11:30A fancy looking drawing room
11:32and a terrace for a bit of afternoon
11:34tea and maybe a scone.
11:36Right, last one, Sienna.
11:38She looks pretty stylish and very realistic.
11:43You know what?
11:43I'd have no idea she wasn't a real girl.
11:46And we've also got the locations here too.
11:48Now I'd say that's believable for
11:50where Sienna would live.
11:52That's our photos generated.
11:54Let's move on to mapping out the viral
11:56content.
Step 4. Map Out Viral Content
11:58Now don't worry.
12:00I'm not going to write out all of
12:01these scripts manually.
12:02For this bit I'm going to use
12:04something called a Claude skill.
12:06If you haven't heard of skills before
12:08they're basically reusable tools with
12:10instructions already baked in
12:12so you get perfect results every time
12:14without writing a massive prompt.
12:16Now I found these ones online for free
12:19and I'll include them in the cheat
12:21sheet so you can use them too.
12:22I'm not sure how good they are
12:24but I don't have much time to be
12:26writing out scripts so let's give them
12:28a try and hope for the best.
12:30So to install these skills I'm going
12:32to head over to customize,
12:34hit add, upload a skill and drag
12:39and drop them straight in
12:41and now it's ready to go.
12:43Then in our chat let's hit forward
12:46slash and select content engine skill.
12:50Now let's say generate content ideas
12:55for Sienna and of course it knows who
12:58Sienna is because it came up with the
13:00idea of her in the first place
13:01and look at that it's handed me a
13:04whole list of content ideas
13:05and I didn't have to think of anything myself.
13:08I quite like idea two
13:11because if this script actually hits
13:13home a lot of girls are going to find
13:15it very relatable and feel like they
13:17actually know Sienna on a more
13:19personal level.
13:20Number one sounds good
13:21because she's giving advice
13:23and number seven is also quite
13:25interesting it almost feels like a
13:27psychological secret that she's going
13:29to reveal and the podcast setting as
13:31we've seen these work quite well.
13:34So let's generate scripts for these
13:36three and see what comes out
13:39and here we go three scripts ready for Sienna.
13:42We won't dive into them
13:43because we'll do a proper review of
13:45the finished videos in a second.
13:47Now I'll do the same process for the
13:49other two influencers.
13:56Okay that looks pretty cool
13:58so we've got a load of finished
13:59scripts for Amos and of course some
14:02for good old Viv.
14:03So let's take that one off our list
14:05and move on to a pretty exciting step
14:07because we're going to be giving them
Step 5. Give Them A Voice
14:09a voice.
14:11Right for this bit I'm going to head
14:13over to the Higgsfield website itself.
14:16I guess it makes sense to go to the
14:19audio tab.
14:20It says you can upload media
14:22so let's add our images of Vivian
14:25and then for the script I'm just going
14:28to write hi my name is Vivian.
14:36Use this sound so the character speaks
14:39like this and now it's asking for
14:41voice details.
14:43Let's head back to Claude
14:44and ask it to generate a detailed
14:47prompt for Vivian's voice.
14:49Okay this looks about right
14:51so let's copy this and paste it into
14:55Higgsfield and then click generate.
15:00Hi my name is Viviana.
15:02Use this sound so the character speaks
15:05like this.
15:06Well that sounds good.
15:07It actually sounds like one of my old
15:09school teachers.
15:10I'll do the same process but for Amos
15:12and Sienna.
15:18Cool so that's sorted.
15:20I'm going to move on to the next step
15:21which is to bring them to life.
Step 6. Bring Them To Life
15:23Don't worry you'll get a chance to
15:25hear all of their voices very soon.
15:29Right so it's finally time to combine
15:32our images locations and scripts
15:34and turn them into high quality videos
15:36to post online.
15:38So in order to do this I'm going to go
15:41to cinema studio and then new project
15:44and I'll give my project a name.
15:47So let's call it Sienna and
15:50then press create and then we've got a
15:52few settings at the bottom.
15:53It looks like we can change here
15:55so I guess we want to change the
15:57aspect ratio to 9 by 16
16:00because we're creating short form
16:02videos in a vertical format.
16:04Let's make the quality 1080p
16:08because that's the best quality
16:10and everything else looks fairly good
16:12for now.
16:13For the first video I want to create a
16:15short clip without any talking
16:17so that we can add some relatable text
16:19to the screen.
16:20I've seen these types of videos do
16:22really well and it's a good test to
16:24see what we can generate before trying
16:26to get Sienna to talk to the camera.
16:28So I used another Claude skill
16:30which I'll also add to the cheat sheet
16:32in the description.
16:33It basically takes a really simple
16:35idea and generates a prompt for
16:37getting the best video outputs.
16:39Feel free to try it for yourself.
16:40Anyway let's paste the detailed prompt
16:43in here.
16:44Now as you can see it's referenced
16:45imaged one which is the character
16:47sheet for Sienna that made earlier.
16:50So hopefully this means she's going to
16:51look consistent across all of our videos.
16:54Now let's press generate and see what
16:59we get.
17:00All right not bad nothing crazy at
17:03this point because obviously she's not
17:05talking but as I said we can add some
17:08relatable text here on the screen
17:10and this is a nice way to test
17:12that this actually works.
17:13So I'm going to make a few more b-roll
17:15shots and then we can make some videos
17:17where we actually hear Sienna talk for
17:20the first time as these are hopefully
17:22what's going to drive views on social
17:23media and also make us some money.
17:32I've made a lot of these videos now
17:35and I have to say some of them are
17:37pretty impressive.
17:38Let me give you a sneak peek at some
17:40of my favorites.
17:41There's a quote I live by early to bed
17:44and early to rise makes a man healthy
17:47wealthy and wise.
17:49That's quite realistic even the coffee
17:50steam in there.
17:51Number one longevity food in the world beans.
17:56It's the cornerstone of every
17:58long-lived culture out there.
17:59I don't know if The wife will agree
18:00that beans are the best thing to have,
18:02to be perfectly honest.
18:03I mean, I personally can't turn water
18:06into wine, but I can turn you into mine.
18:09If I showed this to anyone else
18:10that didn't know that was AI,
18:12they'd think that was someone for sure.
18:14She's your friend, but whenever she
18:16gets a boyfriend, she stops making plans.
18:18Stops messaging you,
18:19stops calling.
18:22Babe, she was using you.
18:24Well, again, that's going to be very
18:25relatable.
18:26Excuse me, ma'am, how did you get rich?
18:31Buy the ugliest property on the nicest
18:33street, fix it up properly,
18:36rent it or sell it.
18:38Take that money, do it again
18:39and again for 40 years.
18:41Don't touch it.
18:42Let it buy the next one.
18:43She's got some good advice there.
18:45It's quite attractive,
18:46isn't she, for the older woman.
18:48I reckon she's going to go down pretty
18:50well with the older boys there for sure.
18:52And probably some of the younger ones
18:53as well.
18:54Right, I'm actually pretty exhausted.
18:57But we've made some great progress
18:59and made our AI influencers within one day.
19:02So we've completed that part of the challenge.
19:04I'm going to come back tomorrow with a
19:06fresh head and launch our accounts.
Step 7. Launch Our Accounts
19:12Okay, so this morning I've been a bit
19:14cheeky and added some captions to our
19:16videos, but I'm sure you guys know how
19:18to do that.
19:18It's pretty simple on any free editing
19:20apps like CapCut or Instagram edits.
19:23So let's skip to the fun stuff
19:25and actually launch our accounts.
19:26We're just going to focus on Instagram
19:28for now because we're on a time limit.
19:30But if these do well,
19:32we could also post them on TikTok
19:34or YouTube shorts later.
19:35I'm going to type Amos and
19:39then I'm going to put health
19:41and wellness.
19:43And then for the username,
19:45I assume just Amos is taken.
19:48Yep, makes sense.
19:50So let's type dot old ways
19:53because he talks about the good old
19:56ways of doing things.
19:57And then all looks good.
19:59So let's press submit.
20:02Now, let's give him a nice profile picture.
20:05I've got a few images here
20:07that I've generated in the Claude chat.
20:09And of course, I'll add the prompts in
20:11the cheat sheet.
20:12So they're there for you to copy as well.
20:15But let's see what we've got.
20:18We've got him with a little lamb here.
20:21We've got him.
20:22Ah, that one's quite nice.
20:24I do actually quite like that.
20:26So let's go with that.
20:29And then the last thing we need to do
20:30is create a bio.
20:33So 101 years old,
20:36simple habits for peak energy,
20:40focus and longevity.
20:42I'm also going to write your AI
20:46grandpa because I don't want anyone
20:49feeling like they've been tricked.
20:51Let's do that as well just to be safe.
20:54Let's press submit.
20:55And there we go.
20:57Amos is ready to take the world by storm.
21:00So I'm just going to rinse
21:01and repeat and do the same for the
21:03other accounts.
21:08Okay, so as you can see,
21:09I've now got the accounts all set up
21:11for Sienna, Vivian and of course Amos.
21:14So it's time to start posting some content.
21:17I'm going to post 10 videos on each account.
21:20Then I'm going to check back in a
21:22couple of days and see which one of
21:23our influencers is having the most success.
21:25And then we can crown the winner
Step 8: Crown The Winning Account
21:27and double down on them to make some money.
Unplanned Check-in
21:29I'm of course rooting for Grandma Vivian.
21:32So I'll check back when there's
21:33something to report.
21:37Well, this is fairly unexpected.
21:40I wasn't actually planning on filming
21:42anything until we crowned the winner.
21:43But I've been watching the accounts
21:46closely and I can't believe some of
21:48the comments we've been getting.
21:49Someone here is bashing Sienna for
21:51wearing a sheen dress and drinking a
21:53$3 USD Frappuccino.
21:55But don't worry, I've got some support
21:58from another fellow woman.
21:59And she's saying Sienna's right to
22:02pick whoever she wants and whatever
22:04she wants in a man because she's in
22:05such high demand.
22:07And then the hater came back for more.
22:10I just think it's fascinating
22:11that they're so busy arguing with each
22:13other that neither has clocked
22:15that she isn't actually a real person.
22:17We've also got people asking where she
22:19got her clothes from.
22:20So I guess that just goes to show how
22:23realistic our influencers look.
22:25Right, I'm going to get out of these
22:26comments because it's all getting a
22:28little bit too much for me.
22:29And I'll check back in once the
22:30accounts have gained some more
22:31traction and crowned the winner.
22:35Right, since we last spoke,
Step 9. Start Making Money
22:37I've genuinely tried my hardest not to
22:39look at these accounts.
22:40So it's finally time to see
22:42which influencer we're going to use to
22:44start making some money.
22:45Coming in third is Vivian.
22:48Now, I'll have to be honest with you.
22:49That one does sting a bit
22:51because I told you I was rooting for her.
22:53But surprisingly, she just didn't do
22:55anywhere near as well as expected.
22:57On a positive note,
22:59this is exactly why I wanted to launch
23:00three accounts at the same time.
23:02Because you can't rely on just one
23:04account to find success.
23:05Coming in second is Sienna,
23:08which obviously means Amos came first.
23:10But look at the gap.
23:12Sienna's numbers are genuinely really
23:14impressive for a brand new account.
23:16And if this was a longer challenge,
23:17I'll probably continue to post on both
23:19accounts.
23:20But I don't have enough time for that.
23:21So let's crown Amos our winner.
23:24And move on to the next step,
23:26which is to start making money.
23:30Right, so now we've got a clear winner.
23:32It's time to decide how Amos is
23:34actually going to make us some money.
23:36Fortunately, at the start of this
23:38challenge, we wrote down all the
23:39different ways other people were
23:41making money from AI influencers.
23:43So let's look at our options.
23:45Brand deals could work.
23:46But we'd have to spend time reaching
23:47out to different companies,
23:49waiting for replies,
23:50and then negotiating deals.
23:51So for this challenge,
23:52it's definitely out of the question.
23:56Selling physical products could be
23:57interesting.
23:58But setting up a store is a hard one.
24:00whole project in itself.
24:01But of course if you want to see me do
24:03that with a Shopify store
24:05and then use AI influencers to make
24:07sales then let me know in the comments.
24:09Ad revenue.
24:10You can't currently get paid ad
24:12revenue for making reels on Instagram
24:14so that isn't an option right now.
24:16Affiliate income is probably one of
24:18the easiest and quickest ways to make
24:20money from an AI influencer.
24:21You can sign up to TikTok shop,
24:24promote relevant products
24:25and get paid a slice of everything you sell.
24:27However, because we aren't currently
24:29posting on TikTok,
24:30which in hindsight was probably a
24:33mistake, we'll have to cross
24:34that one off too.
24:35So I guess that just leaves digital
24:37products which actually is perfect for
24:40educational influencers like Amos
24:42and we can generate everything without
24:44leaving Claude.
24:46So the big question,
24:48what digital products should we
24:49actually make?
24:50Now a few years everyone was selling
24:53ebooks but these days people can just
24:55google or ask chatgpt for the same
24:57basic information for free
24:59so that's not going to work for us.
25:01If we want people to actually buy our
25:03digital product it has to be structured,
25:06interactive and hold their hand
25:07through some sort of transformation.
25:09So I'm thinking we should create a
25:11proper workbook that people can use
25:13and fill out every day rather than
25:15just a pdf full of generic paragraphs.
25:18And Amos is honestly perfect for this
25:20because he's all about living a simple
25:22effective life so I reckon we can
25:24build him a workbook like a proper
25:27challenge that helps someone build
25:28healthy habits over time.
25:31So let's go back over to Claude
25:33and type forward slash and
25:35then select the digital product skill
25:38and say create a workbook as a
25:44digital product for Amos.
25:47Remember this skill will also be in
25:49the cheat sheet.
25:50Now hopefully, ah yeah look at
25:53that, it's given me three ideas
25:55and actually explained why people
25:57would pay for each one.
25:59So let's see, I think the first one
26:02sounds the best.
26:03A 30-day challenge based on his old
26:06ways of living, one habit a day.
26:09Yeah this is actually something I
26:10would buy if I wanted to hold myself
26:12accountable so let's go with that.
26:15Let's type build number one.
26:21Okay I think it's done and look at
26:24this thing, this is a proper little book.
26:27It's got the full 30-day plan,
26:30every day's got its own named rule
26:33with a tick box,
26:34there's a tracker at the back you
26:35could stick on the fridge,
26:37it's even thrown in some bonuses like
26:39his mother's old dinner recipes.
26:41Well that's my dinner plan sorted for tonight.
26:44Add this photo of Amos to the front
26:48cover, there we go and look at
26:51that, five days ago Amos didn't even
26:54exist and now he's on the front cover
26:56of his very own book.
26:58It's crazy to think how far this old
27:00boy's come.
27:01Now obviously before we can sell this
27:03I'm going to read through it to make
27:05sure all the information is logically
27:07sound and safe and of course remove
27:09any hints of AI slot.
27:15Okay all looks good so now we need a
27:18way for the customers to actually buy
27:20and download the product.
27:22I did a bit of research and found a
27:24platform, now this isn't sponsored by
27:25the way, but I'm going to use a
27:27platform called Stand Store
27:29and they've got a 14-day free trial
27:31which is pretty helpful since we're on
27:33a budget.
27:33I assume we just need to go to my
27:36store and then add products
27:40and digital products,
27:42that looks about right and now it's
27:44asking us to pick a style,
27:46quite like call out so let's go with
27:49that and then we've got to select an
27:51image for the thumbnail so we could
27:53use this one of a sheep,
27:55this one's my favorite so let's use
27:58that and it matches this Instagram
28:00profile picture.
28:02Change that size just there,
28:05get my 30-day energy reset
28:09and then for the button start the old
28:13ways challenge and then the price
28:16$15.99 USD then we can actually offer
28:20a discount to $12 USD
28:21because well who doesn't like a little
28:24discount and then we just have to
28:26upload the digital product
28:27and press publish then it looks like
28:31we can copy the link here
28:33and paste that into our Instagram bio
28:36for people to click.
28:37Now obviously I'll also have to
28:39connect my bank details so we can get
28:42paid, of course I'll do that off
28:43camera as I don't want to share those details.
28:46Let's test this out,
28:47okay press this link,
28:50yeah looking pretty good so I think we
28:55can tick that one off,
28:56left that on there, I think we tick
28:58that one off of the list just like
29:01that and now we can move on to count
29:04it any profit we make.
Step 10. Count The Profits
29:07Okay so it's the last day of the
29:08challenge and we actually made some
29:11sales but we've made a massive
29:14mistake, you see since doubling down
29:16on Amos, Vivian's account has actually
29:19exploded, she's got over 10,000 views
29:22on this video, 20,000 on this video
29:24and this video here has actually gone
29:27viral with over 250,000 views,
29:30you know what I should have trusted my
29:33gut and gone with Grandma Viv,
29:34I mean imagine what we could have done
29:37with all these I guess that's just one
29:39of the things with these seven day
29:41challenges, it's a great way to test
29:43the side hustle but sometimes you just
29:46need a little bit more time to see the
29:48full picture develop and if we look at
29:50all our influencers they've all been
29:53gaining a lot of traction even though
29:55I made it very clear that they're not
29:57real people, there's not a single
29:59comment complaining about the use of
30:01AI which to be honest does surprise me
30:04because I do still have some
30:05reservations about AI slog.
30:07As I'm about to show you AI
30:08influencers are clearly a good way to
30:10make money and they're pretty simple
30:12to set up but I definitely don't want
30:15everyone to jump on this
30:16because I think one of the coolest
30:18things about social media is
30:20connecting with actual people from all
30:22walks of life and if everything is
30:24just AI generated then it sort of kind
30:26of sucks the soul out of the me being
30:30an old fart you can make your own mind up.
30:33But enough of that let's crunch the
30:35numbers and see if we actually made
30:36any money.
30:37Well as you can see we sold the
30:39workbook for $12 USD and made 23 sales
30:42which brings our total revenue to
30:44$276 USD but of course that isn't all
30:49profit because we did have some costs.
30:51First we used Claude but
30:52that was a free subscription.
30:54I did have to wait a bit for the
30:56credits to refresh which was a bit
30:58annoying but at least it didn't cost
31:00me anything.
31:00I used Instagram edits for adding
31:02captions to the videos which was
31:04completely free too.
31:05We used Standstore to host the product
31:07and that was a 14-day free trial
31:09so that also cost $0 USD.
31:12As we got paid through PayPal they do
31:14take some fees which came to
31:16$19.52 USD.
31:18Remember this isn't part of the
31:20startup budget as it just came off our sales.
31:22We of course used Higgsfield to create
31:24all the photos and video generations.
31:27Now I couldn't have done
31:28that without them to be honest it was
31:30so simple.
31:31I also used the Tilbury discount code
31:33to get some money off our subscription
31:35but I know that's only limited to
31:375,000 people and it was kind of
31:39cheating so to keep it fair I'm going
31:42to count the full cost which would
31:44normally be $99 USD for that plan.
31:46So that's our whole $99 USD startup
31:48budget spent and including the PayPal
31:51fees our total cost came to
31:52$118.52 USD so that leaves us with a
31:57profit of $157.48 USD.
32:00Now I know $157 USD might not sound
32:03life-changing but let's put it into
32:05perspective.
32:06This was all done with minimal effort
32:08using AI tools and a budget of just
32:11$99 USD to set everything up.
32:13Imagine what we could achieve
32:14if we expanded our strategy.
32:16At the moment we've already generated
32:19a ton of videos for Instagram
32:20but we could simply post the same
32:23stuff across other platforms such as
32:25TikTok and YouTube and instantly get
32:27more views, attention and money
32:29without really lifting a finger
32:31and that's just the start.
32:32Remember all of those monetization
32:34strategies we talked about at the
32:36start of the video we only tried one
32:38with one influencer.
32:39Imagine what we could do if we
32:41actually gave all of them a try across
32:43all of our influencers but guys a deal
32:46is a deal.
32:47I did give myself the seven day time
32:49limit so I can't complain
32:51and as I clearly failed the challenge
32:53I'm going to be giving one of you in
32:55the comments $1,000 USD of my own money.
32:58Just comment below who your favorite
33:00influencer was and why.
33:02I promise I won't be biased towards
33:04Grandma Vivian.
33:05So that's the profits counted
33:07and if you want to see me attempt the
33:09seven day AI dropshipping challenge
33:11then I'll leave that video right up
33:13there but don't click on it just yet.
33:15Make sure to subscribe if you want to
33:16grow your wealth.
33:17Okay I'll see you over there.
