🤫 My Secret Method For Making Money With AI Videos (Costs Nothing)

Have you ever wondered how some YouTube channels make thousands of dollars every month? They do it without paying for AI tools and without any video editing experience.

Today, you will learn the complete system to turn simple ideas into automatic money-making videos. This is not just a tutorial that shows you a cool tool. This is a full class that shows you exactly how to use AI to make a real project and a real source of income.

The best part? Everything in this guide is 100% free and unlimited. There are no monthly fees, no hidden costs, and you don't need any special skills. After reading this guide, you will have a complete plan to start making professional videos that can earn you money.

Why This System Works

Before we start with the steps, let me show you why this is important. Right now, there are channels making a lot of money every month, enough to be a full-time job. We are talking about hundreds of thousands or even millions of views. And the person making these videos has almost zero video editing skills and has never paid for an AI tool.

It sounds impossible, but it’s not. It is a system, a step-by-step plan that anyone can follow. The secrets are in the small details, so pay close attention as we go through each step.

Phase 1: Building Your Foundation - The Idea

Everything starts with an idea. The foundation of a successful channel is your idea, and the first and most important choice you will make is picking your channel's topic, also known as a "niche."

Step 1: Choose Your Niche (And Why It's So Important)

Here is something most people don’t understand: The YouTube system likes channels that focus on one topic.

Let me explain why this is important. If your channel is about history, and you suddenly post a video about science fiction, you are confusing the YouTube system and your audience. A person who subscribed for your history videos might not watch your new video. This tells YouTube that your content is not what your audience wants, and your views will go down.

So, you must choose one niche and stay with it.

How to find a good niche?

1. List things you like: What are you interested in? Space, ancient history, mysteries, psychology, or fun facts? Starting with something you love will keep you motivated.

2. Look at other successful channels: Search for channels that use AI to make videos. What topics are they about? Popular topics often include:

   • History: Stories about kings, forgotten battles, or great empires.

   • Myths & Legends: Gods, monsters, and heroes from around the world.

   • Science & Space: Mysteries of black holes, aliens, or amazing discoveries.

   • Psychology: Facts about how people think, tips for a better life, explaining why people do what they do.

   • Book Summaries: Explaining big ideas from books in a simple way.

3. Choose a niche that is good for pictures: Because we will use AI to make images, choose a topic where you can create beautiful and interesting pictures. Topics like myths, space, or history are perfect because they let the AI be creative.

For this guide, we will choose a niche that can easily go viral and is perfect for AI images: the untold stories of lost cities in history. It's exciting to look at and has endless topics to talk about. Think about cities like Atlantis, El Dorado, or cities buried under the ground.

Step 2: Make an Important Business Decision - The Language

Before you make any content, you need to make a business decision that will affect how much money you make: the language of your videos.

Here is something important to know: YouTube RPM (which means "Revenue Per Mille," or how much money you make for every 1,000 views) is very different in different countries. Views from English-speaking countries like the USA, UK, Canada, or Australia can pay you 5 to 10 times more money than views from other places.

So, even if your English is not perfect, you should make your channel in English. The AI will write the script and create the voice for you, so you don't even need to speak the language to reach the audience that makes the most money.

Step 3: Create Your Scripts With The Dual Script Method

Now you need scripts – a lot of them. For this, you need the most powerful AI models. You can use top AI models for free on special platforms that give access to models like Claude 3, GPT-4o, or Llama 3. Some popular platforms where you can find them are Poe or Perplexity.

Here is the first pro-level trick: the dual script method.

To be very efficient, you will give the AI one main command (a master prompt), and it will create two documents for you at the same time:

Document 1: The Clean Script

• This is a simple text file with only the words the narrator will speak.

• It is ready for you to copy and paste into a text-to-speech tool.

• No extra formatting, just the clean text for the voiceover.

Document 2: The Production Script

• This is your list of shots or scenes.

• It's a table that tells you exactly what picture or video clip to show on the screen for every sentence of the narration.

• This is the secret to keeping your audience watching for a long time.

Example of a Master Prompt:

Let's use the topic "The Lost City of Atlantis" for this example.

You are a professional scriptwriter who writes amazing scripts for YouTube documentaries about history and mystery.

Your job is to create two separate documents for a 10-minute YouTube video titled "Atlantis: The Truth Behind the Great Lost City." The video should have an exciting, mysterious, and dramatic storytelling tone to keep viewers interested.

Please create the following two documents:

DOCUMENT 1: CLEAN SCRIPT
- Only include the narration text for the voiceover artist.
- Write it in a natural, easy-to-read way, ready for a text-to-speech tool.
- Do not include any production notes, scene titles, or image descriptions.

DOCUMENT 2: PRODUCTION SCRIPT
- Create a table with 3 columns: "Shot #", "Narration", and "Visual Description".
- The "Narration" column must exactly match every sentence from the CLEAN SCRIPT.
- The "Visual Description" column must describe in detail the image or video clip to show on screen for each line of narration. The description should be cinematic, powerful, and match the mysterious mood of the video.

Please begin writing.

What the AI will give you:

Document 1: Clean Script

Thousands of years ago, a city of unimaginable beauty and power was said to exist.
A city built on wisdom, science, and divine connection — called Atlantis.

According to legend, Atlantis wasn’t just advanced — it was perfect.
Its people mastered energy, architecture, and the secrets of the universe itself.
But then, in a single day and night… it was gone.
Swallowed by the sea.

Was Atlantis real? Or is it just a myth — a story passed down through centuries of imagination and hope?

To uncover the truth, we must go back — to the man who first told this story: Plato.

In 360 BC, the great Greek philosopher wrote of a mighty civilization that lived “beyond the Pillars of Hercules.”
He described Atlantis as a vast island empire — larger than Libya and Asia combined — ruled by kings descended from Poseidon, the god of the sea.

Plato claimed Atlantis had vast palaces, golden temples, and canals that connected the city like veins of light.
It was rich, powerful, and full of knowledge.
But pride led to corruption.
And according to him, the gods punished Atlantis — sinking it beneath the ocean in one cataclysmic night.

For centuries, people dismissed Plato’s tale as pure allegory — a moral story about greed and the fall of empires.
But others… believed he was describing a real place.

From explorers to scientists, the search for Atlantis has stretched across the globe — from the Mediterranean, to the Caribbean, to Antarctica.

Some believe Atlantis lies beneath the waves near Santorini, where a volcanic eruption destroyed the ancient Minoan civilization.
Others point to the Azores, a chain of islands in the Atlantic Ocean that match Plato’s description of a sunken continent.
And some even claim it’s hidden under the ice of Antarctica, preserved for thousands of years.

Yet, despite all the theories, no one has ever found proof.

But what if Atlantis was never meant to be found?
What if it existed — not as a city of stone — but as a memory of a lost age of humanity?

Modern discoveries are giving new light to this idea.
Archaeologists have uncovered evidence of advanced ancient civilizations — like Göbekli Tepe in Turkey — built over 12,000 years ago, long before known history.
These sites show that humans were far more capable — and far more connected — than we ever imagined.

Could Atlantis be a memory of one of these forgotten civilizations?
A time when humanity reached great heights… before falling into the ocean of time?

Even today, sonar scans show mysterious structures deep beneath the Atlantic.
Massive shapes that resemble ancient walls and roads.
And as technology improves, new expeditions continue to dive deeper, hoping to find what Plato described thousands of years ago.

But maybe — just maybe — Atlantis was never a physical place.
Maybe it’s an idea.
A mirror showing us what happens when greatness turns to arrogance.
When knowledge turns to pride.

Whether real or not, Atlantis endures — because it reminds us of what humanity can build… and what it can lose.

So perhaps, the real mystery of Atlantis…
Isn’t where it was.
But what it represents.

Document 2: Production Script

Creating these two documents at the same time will save you a lot of time and work later.

Phase 2: The Production Line - Bringing Your Script To Life

Step 4: Create A Professional Voiceover

Now it’s time to turn your text script into audio. We need a professional-sounding voice for this.

Some of the best tools today are high-quality AI voice generators. Many people think of paid services, but there are some very good free options. You can use the free text-to-speech features inside tools like Clipchamp (from Microsoft), or other free online services. Another powerful option is ElevenLabs, which has a free plan that lets you create a certain amount of audio each month, which is enough to get you started.

Pro Tip for Very Long Scripts:

If the tool gives you an error because the text is too long, don't give up. This is a common mistake for beginners. Just split your script into two or three parts, create the audio for each part, and then join them together in your video editor. You can still create unlimited audio for free – you just have to do it in smaller pieces.

Organization is key: After you create your audio files, make a folder for your project and save them in number order (audio_1.mp3, audio_2.mp3, etc.) so you know which part comes first.

Step 5: Create Your Visual World

With the audio ready, we need to create the visual content. The most efficient and high-quality free method right now is a two-step process:

1. First, create amazing still images.

2. Then, bring them to life with animation tools.

Image Generation - Your Free Tools

You need a set of free and unlimited tools. Here are the top recommendations:

• Option 1: Leonardo AI

  

  • Gives you free "credits" every day, which is enough to make dozens of images.

  • The image quality is very high, perfect for creating realistic scenes and characters.

  • It has many different models so you can choose different art styles.

• Option 2: SeaArt

  

  • Also gives you free credits and is very generous.

  • It is very fast and works well for many different styles.

  • Good for when you need to make many images quickly.

• Option 3: Microsoft Designer (Image Creator)

  

  • Uses the DALL-E 3 model from OpenAI.

  • It's completely free and the image quality is very good, especially with detailed descriptions.

How to use these tools:

Take the descriptions from the "Visual Description" column in your Production Script and paste them as prompts (commands) into these tools to create all the still images for your story.

For example, if your Production Script says:

• Visual Description: “A beautiful, futuristic city with towers made of silver and crystal, with flying ships gliding between the buildings."

Your image prompt would be:

"A breathtaking futuristic city Atlantis, towering spires made of crystal and silver, elegant flying ships gliding between buildings, bioluminescent plants lighting the streets, cinematic lighting, hyper-realistic, 8K, epic scale."

Create one image for each row in your Production Script table.

Animation - Making Images Move

Option: Pika

• Superpower: Creative and easy to use.

• The website is very friendly for beginners.

• You can make specific parts of an image move, which creates very cool effects.

Pro Tip: Experiment with different tools! Sometimes, one tool will create better movement for a specific type of image. For example, Runway might be great for big landscape scenes, while Pika might be perfect for making a character move slightly.

Organization (again, very important): Once you have created your animated video clips, save them in your project folder and number them to match your Production Script (video_1.mp4, video_2.mp4, etc.). This will make the next step incredibly easy.

Phase 3: Final Assembly And Publishing

Step 6: Edit Your Video (The Easy Way)

You've done the hard work. You now have a folder with your numbered audio files and another folder with your numbered video clips. This is the final and easiest step.

You don't need to be a professional editor or buy expensive software.

You can use free tools like:

• The desktop version of CapCut

• The free version of DaVinci Resolve (a bit more complex, but very powerful)

The editing process is super simple:

1. Drag all your numbered audio files onto the timeline in order. They will form one long, continuous narration.

   

2. Listen to the audio while looking at your Production Script. When you hear the first sentence ("In the deep memories of humanity..."), drag the video clip named "video_1.mp4" onto the timeline above the audio file.

   

3. When you hear the second sentence, drag video_2.mp4. And so on. You are just matching the numbers.

4. Add background music and sound effects: To make your video more professional, add background music. You can find thousands of free songs in the YouTube Audio Library. Choose a mysterious or epic song and put it on a separate track on the timeline. Lower the volume so it doesn't overpower the voiceover.

   

You are telling a story with pictures that match the narrator's words. It’s like putting a puzzle together where all the pieces are already numbered for you.

Optional Improvement: If you want, you can use CapCut's auto-caption feature to add subtitles. This helps increase watch time and makes your videos easier to watch for more people.

Step 7: Create The Perfect Thumbnail

Before you can publish, you need the most important part: the perfect thumbnail.

Here is a hard truth: A great video with a bad thumbnail will never be seen.

The best idea is that a simple, high-impact thumbnail is always better than a messy, ugly AI-generated one.

The method is simple:

1. Pick the single most amazing image you created for your video – the one that best shows what the story is about (for example, the close-up image of the beautiful city of Atlantis).

2. Open a free tool like Canva.

3. Place your image and add a short, bold, high-contrast text that asks a question or makes a shocking statement related to your video's title.

For the Atlantis video, you could use text like:

• "WAS ATLANTIS REAL?"

• "SECRET BURIED FOR 11,000 YEARS"

• "THIS CITY CHANGED HISTORY"

Remember: Being clear and emotional is always better than being complicated. Don't try to put too much in your thumbnail. One powerful image + one powerful sentence = clicks.

The Final And Most Important Secret To Success: Consistency

That's it. That is the complete A-to-Z system. But there is one more thing that separates successful channels from failed ones: consistency.

It is better to publish one amazing video every week on the same day than to publish seven videos in one week and then disappear for a month.

The YouTube system rewards consistency. It wants to know that it can count on you to provide content to your audience regularly.

Don't give up if your first few videos don't get many views. If you have followed this system and the content is high-quality, the audience will come. Many successful channels did not get popular until their 10th, 15th, or even 20th video.

Quick Summary: The Complete Workflow Checklist

Let's summarize the entire system in a simple checklist you can follow:

Planning Phase:

• ☐ Choose your niche and stick to it.

• ☐ Decide on your language (English is recommended for higher earnings).

• ☐ Generate dual scripts (clean script + production script) with AI.

Production Phase:

• ☐ Create the voiceover using a text-to-speech tool.

• ☐ Split long scripts into smaller parts if needed.

• ☐ Generate still images using free AI tools (Leonardo AI, SeaArt, Microsoft Designer).

• ☐ Animate the images using RunwayML or Pika.

• ☐ Save and number all your files in organized folders.

Assembly Phase:

• ☐ Import audio files to your video editor in order.

• ☐ Match the numbered video clips to the correct audio parts.

• ☐ Add background music and sound effects (optional).

• ☐ Add subtitles (optional but recommended).

• ☐ Create a simple, high-impact thumbnail in Canva.

• ☐ Publish and keep a consistent schedule.

Important Advice About YouTube's Rules

About Monetization Requirements:

To earn money from your YouTube channel, you need:

• 1,000 subscribers

• 4,000 watch hours in the last 12 months

• To follow YouTube's rules on original content

Can AI-generated videos be monetized?

The answer is YES, and the videos created with this method are 100% okay to monetize because:

• You are creating original scripts with help from AI.

• You are creating unique images that have never existed before.

• You are creating a unique combination of narration, images, sounds, and your own editing.

• You are not stealing or reusing copyrighted material from others.

YouTube does not ban AI-made content. They just require that the content is "transformative" and provides value, and is not just mass-produced spam. This process ensures you are creating valuable and unique content.

Conclusion: Your Path Forward

You have just learned the entire system. You know how to:

• Find a niche where your effort will be rewarded.

• Generate viral scripts with AI.

• Create professional voiceovers for free.

• Produce unlimited visuals without spending any money.

• Put everything together into a finished video.

• Create thumbnails that get clicks.

• Build a consistent publishing schedule.

The tools are free. The knowledge is in your hands. What happens next is up to you.

Start with one video. Don't try to make 10 videos at once. Master the process with one complete video from start to finish. Once you understand the workflow, you will be able to make videos faster and faster.

Remember the numbers game: The channels making thousands of dollars didn't get there with just one video. They got there with consistent effort, week after week, getting better with every upload.

Your first video might get 50 views. Your tenth might get 500. Your twentieth might get 5,000. And one day, one of your videos will be picked up by the algorithm, and you'll wake up to tens of thousands of views.

That is when everything changes.

So what are you waiting for? You have the plan. Now go build your money-making machine.
