How to make AI work for you to get you the 1st 10k in your career ?

Client Work Niches (Faster than building a channel):

• Local business promo videos (restaurants, salons, real estate agents)

• Product videos for e-commerce sellers

• Corporate explainer videos

• Event highlight reels

2️⃣ Choose Your AI Video Creation Stack

You can make professional videos without filming yourself by combining tools:

Scriptwriting & Voice

• ChatGPT (script ideas & full narration)

• ElevenLabs or Murf.ai (realistic AI voices)

Video Creation

• Pika.art (AI video generator)

• Runway ML or Luma AI (cinematic video creation)

• CapCut / Descript (fast editing + captions)

Stock Footage + AI

• Pexels / Pixabay (free B-roll)

• Envato Elements (paid, huge library)

3️⃣ Monetization Paths to $10K

Path A: YouTube Automation Channel

• Post 3–5 AI-made videos/week in a high-CPM niche

• Use faceless format: narration + B-roll + text overlays

• Monetize via:

  
  

  • AdSense (needs 1,000 subs + 4,000 watch hours)

  • Affiliate links in description

  • Sponsored mentions once you hit ~10k views/video

• 
  

• Example: 300,000 views at $20 CPM ≈ $6K + affiliate sales.

Path B: Selling Videos to Clients (Faster)

• Offer “AI video production” for $200–$500 per video.

• Find clients on:

  
  

  • Fiverr / Upwork

  • LinkedIn outreach

  • Local Facebook business groups

• 
  

• Just 20 videos at $500 each = $10K.

Path C: Social Media Shorts + Affiliate Marketing

• Post AI-generated shorts daily on TikTok/Reels/YouTube Shorts.

• Link to high-commission offers (finance, software, courses).

• Viral short + affiliate payout can make $1K+ per post if targeted well.

4️⃣ Step-by-Step 30-Day Action Plan

Week 1:

• Pick niche + research top 20 competitors.

• Build your first 3 AI video templates (script, voice, visuals).

Week 2–3:

• Post daily short videos to test topics.

• Start cold emailing or DMing businesses with a free sample offer.

Week 4:

• Double down on what works — scale ads for client work or post more of your top-performing video types.

• Optimize affiliate offers or raise video prices.

5️⃣ Scaling to $10K

• If you go client route, focus on $300–$500/video packages and upsell monthly retainer deals.

• If you go content route, aim for 100k–200k total monthly views in a high-paying niche + affiliate income.

• Automate with batch creation (make 5–10 videos in one sitting using AI).

If you want, I can map out a “10K in 60 days” plan specifically for your food & travel review channel, which could combine AI videos + your existing brand so you earn faster. That way, you’d blend passive income with your current work.

Do you want me to make that version next? It’ll be more tailored to you.
