Paid vs Free — Read This First

✦ Free

  • Slower, some daily limits
  • Completely viable to start
  • Video generation is tricky on free tools
Honestly — if you're on a budget, only pay for Higgsfield. You can generate good videos with Kling, and everything else can be started for free. Once you start making money, you can upgrade everything else. But if budget is tight, just pay for Higgsfield — video generation is the most important step.

Planning & Research

Find what works. Copy it. Make it yours.

"Don't reinvent the wheel — find what works and make your own version of it."

Find Your Ideas

  • Search "AI skeleton " on TikTok and YouTube Shorts
  • Go to a competitor's channel → sort by Most Popular 
  • Don't be afraid to copy the exact video idea — just change things up a bit. Copying competitors is completely normal in this game.
  • Favorite the videos you want to recreate later
  • Check the comments — viewers tell you what they want more of (thats what i did with socrates)

Hook (First 5 Seconds)

  • 🎥 Camera movement — always. handheld camera , zoom, push in. No static shots.
  • ✍️ Catchy opening — doesn't have to be a question. "What if…" works great. Just make it interesting, you can ask chatgpt or claude for better hooks.
  • Strong visual — the image itself should stop the scroll before anyone reads a word

Scene Planning

11–12 scenes × 5 seconds = ~60 seconds. Write it out before you touch any tool.

0–5s
Scene 1 — HOOK
Strongest visual. Camera moves immediately. Catchy line on screen.
5–10s
Scene 2
e.g. "Skeleton walks into an ancient room, torchlight flickering on stone walls."
10–15s
Scene 3
e.g. "Skeleton reaches down and picks up a mysterious object."

Scene 4
e.g. "Close-up on the skull — dramatic camera push-in."
20–25s
Scene 5
e.g. "Wide shot — skeleton walks through a crumbling archway."
25–30s
Scene 6
e.g. "Something is revealed — glowing artifact, hidden door."
30–35s
Scene 7
Tension builds. Keep it moving.
35–40s
Scene 8
Keep pacing tight. No dead shots.
40–45s
Scene 9
Story development — show more of the world.
45–50s
Scene 10
Build toward the payoff.
50–55s

Image Creation

One image per scene. 

Tools

✦ ChatGPT Image Gen
🎓 Student? NanoBanana Pro is included in Google AI Pro (Gemini) — completely free for university students. See Step 3 for how to claim it.

Prompting

  • We will use a free custom GPT to create prompts for nano banana pro, This is extremely easy and makes the whole process so much faster, You will see me use this in the video tutorial.
  • You can also use ChatGPT to create the images but this is slower. If you want to use it anyway for creating images then screenshot some images from viral vids and tell ChatGPT to lock in this style for all images that it will generate

Higgsfield

  • This is my go to. One platform with access to all the major AI video models (Kling, Sora, Veo) — you don't need to subscribe to each one separately. Makes the whole workflow much smoother. You will mainly use Kling 2.6 since it does not take alot of credits and is very reliable
  • Free tier available — start there first before paying anything

OpenArt

  • A solid alternative to Higgsfield — does the same job. Check which one is cheaper or on sale at the time you're reading this. Personally I use Higgsfield, but if OpenArt is running a deal, go for that.

Grok AI

  • Free with daily limits — good enough to learn the workflow without spending anything. There are short YouTube tutorials on how to use it. Once you're ready to go properly, I'd recommend using Kling inside Higgsfield for your actual video generation.

Script & Voiceover

ElevenLabs. Short script. Done.

ElevenLabs

  • Free: Use the "Adam" voice — deep and works perfectly for this style, or any voice you like
  • $5/month: Clone any voice you want. This is what I do — it gives your channel a completely unique sound that no one else has. Not required, but worth it.
  • Write the script Last!, after you've created the full video. Why last? Because it's much easier to adjust the script than to regenerate clips. Make sure the narration matches exactly what's on screen.

Script

  • Paste this script into Chatgpt to get it in the same style as the viral vids

    -

    I'll give you three scripts, and you should make the video script based on these exact scripts and exact same style

    The video idea is [INSERT VIDEO IDEA]

    My video includes[INSERT SHORT EXPLANATION ABT VIDEO IDEA]

    script 1 - What if you sold fried chicken in ancient Greece? Day one, you arrive in Greece with raw chicken, flour, oil, and a bronze pot. Philosophers are debating. Athletes training nearby in the dust. They eat figs and barley. You season the chicken and prepare it. Lower it into hot oil. The crackling sound cuts through conversation. The smell spreads through warm Mediterranean air. 20 men gather up and stare at you. Day two, you set up outside the Acropolis of Athens. People wait hours for your meat. They start calling it golden bird. S Speaker 00:28 30 athletes line up after training. Grease on their fingers. Silence while chewing. By nightfall, you've made a week's wage. Day three. Things go downhill. Oil needs replacing. Chicken spoils in the heat. Half your stock wasted. You cross the countryside at sunrise. Strike a deal with a farmer outside the city walls. Fresh chicken and oil every morning. Week one. S Speaker 00:47 Socrates approaches your stand. You decide you're gonna teach him a lesson. But this time he doesn't ask a question. He just tries your chicken and leaves. You call him a weirdo. He just walks away. Month 6. The lines extend. You get called to make chicken for the emperor. He tries it with tears in his eyes. You get given a kitchen and workers. You reach peak ascension. Year 1. People all over the country have tried your meat. You didn't bring fried chicken to Greece. You brought them desire.
     script 2- What if you brought McDonald's to ancient Egypt? Day 1, you arrive beside the Nile with a small charcoal grill, salted beef and bread. Workers move blocks under the burning sun. They only eat stale bread. You grab your meat and roll it into a ball. You press the Patty onto the iron. The sizzle cuts through desert wind. The smell drifts across hot sand. Workers stop working and admire your stand. Day two, you set up near the pyramid site. People wait in the shade for your meat. They start calling it meat of the gods. Thirty laborers line up before sunrise. Grease on their fingers, but they don't care. By nightfall, you fed every single worker. Day three, things go downhill. A governor comes up to your stand and asks who gave you permission to sell. He tells you to close up shop and leave. You say nothing and hand him a burger. One bite and he folds. As long as you give the governors free burgers, no one will disturb you. Week 1, Socrates is touring in Egypt. He comes up and asks you if the burger is your power. What are you. Cut him off. You've had enough of this bum. You tie him up and send him back to Greece. There's no way he comes back, right? Month six, the crowds exceed limits. It's getting hard to meet demands. You send a proposal to the pharaoh. He takes one bite of your burger and accepts. He Builds you a McDonald's near the pyramids and gives you workers. Your job now, to feed workers. Year 1, your meat controls Egypt. No food supply enters or leaves the country without your approval. You didn't just make a business. You filled hungry stomachs.

    script 3-  What if you started selling pasta in ancient Rome? Day 1. You arrive in Rome with flour, eggs, olive oil, and a bronze pot. The streets are loud. Merchants shout. Horses drag carts over stone roads. Romans eat bread, olives, and cheese. Nothing like what you’re about to make. You knead the dough. Roll it flat. Slice it into long thin strands. You drop the pasta into boiling water. The bubbling sound cuts through the marketplace. Steam rises into the warm Mediterranean air. Twenty Romans gather around your stand. They stare as you drizzle olive oil and sprinkle cheese. One man takes a bite. He freezes. Then quietly says one word: “More.” Day 2. You set up your stall near the Roman Forum. People line up before sunrise. They start calling it “golden strings.” Thirty workers show up after hauling stone all morning. Oil dripping from their fingers. No one talks while eating. By nightfall… you’ve made more coins than a Roman soldier earns in a week. Day 3. Things go downhill. Your flour runs out. Eggs spoil in the heat. Half your dough goes bad. You leave the city before sunrise. Travel through farms outside the walls. You strike a deal with a farmer. Fresh eggs. Fresh grain. Every morning. Week 1. The crowds double. A strange philosopher approaches your stall. It’s Seneca. He studies the pasta carefully. Then asks: “Is pleasure the true purpose of life?” You ignore him. Hand him a bowl. He takes a bite. Silence. Then he quietly walks away. Month 6. Your stall becomes the busiest food stand in Rome. Lines stretch across the street. You can’t keep up. A messenger from the emperor arrives. You are summoned to the palace. You cook pasta for the emperor himself. He takes one bite. Then another. Then wipes oil from his beard and says: “Rome needs more of this.” You’re given a kitchen. Workers. Unlimited grain. Year 1. Your pasta spreads across the empire. From Rome to Gaul. From Egypt to Greece. People eat it in markets, homes, and army camps. You didn’t just sell pasta to Rome. You fed an empire. 

    Ask me 3 clarifying questions before generating my script

Sound effects

  • Dont go around searching on youtube for sfx, Use CapCut's free sound effects library. Keep music at ~30% volume — background only.

✂️

Editing in CapCut

No editing skills needed. Seriously.

  • Put your clips in order on the timeline — that's 90% of the edit
  • Add transitions between clips — nothing fancy, simple cuts or fades work
  • Drop in your voiceover and add auto-captions (Text → Auto-caption)
  • Make sure the hook is fast, add a sound effect right at the start. 
  • That's it. Don't overcomplicate this. These AI videos don't need complex editing — clean and simple always wins.

Monetisation — The Truth

What actually pays and what doesn't.

Anyone who tells you TikTok pays $1,000 per million views is a complete liar — don't believe it. The real numbers are way lower. Platform payout alone won't make you money. You need other income streams.

Platform Reality

TikTok

Very low RPM. Usually around 0.1 to 0.6, Goes viral fast but the payout is very little unless you're doing huge numbers consistently. However some new creators start with high rpms and with Additional rewards from tiktok which pay well

YouTube Shorts

Generally pays better than TikTok. Harder to go viral but the income is more stable and content keeps earning over time.

Always cross-post to YouTube Shorts. Same video, 60 seconds of extra work, better long-term income.

How to Actually Make Money on the side

  • 💼 Brand deals — put your email in your bio. Even if you dont have alot of followers. That's how brands find you. This is where the real money is.
  •  You can also become an affiliate to a course if you dont have the experience to sell your own
