Here’s the truth: video is king right now. Instagram Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, ads — everywhere you scroll, it’s video after video.
But creating videos? That used to be hard. You needed editing skills, expensive software, time, patience… and maybe a degree in frustration.
Not anymore.
AI video creation is one of the easiest ways to make money online today — because AI now does almost everything for you. From writing scripts to adding voiceovers, finding footage, editing clips, adding captions, and even turning blog posts into full videos.
You don’t need to be on camera. You don’t need to know how to edit. You don’t even need to touch a video timeline.
Just plug your idea into a few tools — and boom — you’ve got a finished, professional-looking video in minutes.
This is the kind of thing people are charging hundreds of dollars for. And you can do it with no previous experience.
Let me show you how.
How to Make Money with AI Video Creation
You can sell videos to people who want content but don’t have the time or skill to create it. You can also build your own faceless YouTube channel and let the content work for you. Either way, AI is your silent partner doing most of the work.
Here are 5 solid ways to make money with AI videos:
- Start a Faceless YouTube Channel
You don’t have to show your face or even talk on camera.
People are making money with channels that post:
- List videos (e.g. “Top 10 Richest Athletes”)
- Storytelling (e.g. “How Jeff Bezos Started Amazon”)
- Motivation and self-help
- Tech breakdowns
- Celebrity news
- Health tips
And they’re using AI to create everything.
Here’s the process:
- Ask ChatGPT to write a script. For example: “10 Signs You’ll Be Rich Someday.”
- Paste that script into Pictory, and it’ll automatically add stock footage, captions, transitions, and music.
- Add an AI voiceover using ElevenLabs or Murf — pick the voice, tone, and speed.
- Export the video, create a thumbnail in Canva, and upload to YouTube.
Repeat that process a few times a week, and before you know it, you’ll have a full channel.
Once you reach 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours, you can start earning through ads. But even before that, you can add affiliate links under your videos, or sell digital products like eBooks or Notion templates.
The best part? You’re creating income-producing assets — without recording a single video yourself.
- Sell Short-Form Videos to Coaches and Business Owners
Everyone wants short videos right now. It’s how you grow on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. But most people don’t have time to create them — especially busy business owners.
You can offer a simple service: “I’ll create 5 AI-powered short videos for your brand every week — you don’t have to do a thing.”
All you need is:
- Their content — a blog, a voice note, or even a few ideas
- ChatGPT to help write snappy scripts
- Pictory, Opus Clip, or Veed.io to turn those into short, engaging videos
- CapCut (free!) to add trendy effects, music, and auto-captions
Then you deliver weekly video drops to them. Clean, done-for-you content.
Most businesses will happily pay $200–$500/month if you can give them great content that gets views and sales — and they don’t have to lift a finger.
- Turn Blog Posts Into Videos for Websites
Tons of websites have long articles but no videos. You can offer to turn their blog posts into short, shareable videos.
For example:
- A health blog has a post called “7 Reasons You’re Always Tired.”
- You copy the text, plug it into Lumen5 or Pictory, and let the AI turn it into a video with stock clips, animated text, music, and transitions.
- Add a voiceover with Murf or ElevenLabs if needed.
- Export the video and send it over.
Simple.
You can charge $50–$100 per video depending on quality. Batch 10 videos for them a month, and that’s $1,000+ for just a few hours of work.
This works especially well for:
- News sites
- Finance blogs
- Health and wellness brands
- E-commerce stores with blog content
They already have the content. You’re just converting it into another format they can post on YouTube, Instagram, or their homepage.
- Create Ads for Small Businesses
Video ads get way more engagement than text or image ads. But most small businesses don’t have the time or skill to make them.
That’s your opportunity.
You can create video ads for:
- Restaurants
- Boutiques
- Personal trainers
- Real estate agents
- Online course creators
Here’s the simple workflow:
- Use ChatGPT to write a short ad script (30–60 seconds).
- Use InVideo, Pictory, or Runway ML to create the visuals.
- Use ElevenLabs or Murf.ai to add a voiceover.
- Export, and you’ve got a full ad ready to post on Instagram or Facebook.
You can start by doing one ad for free to get their attention — then charge $150–$300 per ad moving forward. If it brings in customers for them, they’ll keep coming back for more.
- Repurpose Content for Influencers and Thought Leaders
Influencers and online experts are sitting on a goldmine of content — YouTube videos, podcasts, long Instagram Lives — but they’re not turning it into snackable content.
You can offer a service that goes like this:
“I’ll take your 20-minute videos and turn them into 5 short-form clips every week, using AI. Captions, hooks, edits — all done for you.”
Tools like Opus Clip, Descript, and Pictory can find the best parts, add captions, and format it for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts — all in minutes.
You just need the raw content, a few tools, and you’re in business.
Charge a monthly fee and deliver videos every week. It’s super valuable and easy to systemize once you’ve done it a few times.
