How Average People Make $34,000 With AI Shorts In The TikTok Creativity Program Beta
Introduction
The TikTok creativity program beta is literally blowing up all over the internet. What if I told you that there are people making $ 9,000 a month just from posting simple Reddit story videos like this one? The TikTok creativity program beta has an RPM of over $ 1, which means you get paid $ 1 per 1,000 views. To put this in perspective, if your video gets 1 million views, TikTok would pay you $ 11,000. And as we all know, it's really not that hard to get a million views on TikTok, especially when you know what I'm about to teach you in this article.
So, I'm going to show you my entire blueprint on how to start and grow your first TikTok account, no matter if you're a complete noob or not. But don't get too excited yet; the TikTok creativity program beta is only available in a few selected countries like the US, UK, and Germany. I literally can't believe I'm sharing this with you since it's such a ridiculously easy way to make money. But I have this one friend who has found a way to create TikTok accounts eligible for the creativity program regardless of where you live. I don't want to talk about this too much, but just head over to this website I've put in the description and get yourself a US TikTok account.
As you can see, if I log into my account that I got and go to the settings, I have this option to apply for the TikTok creativity program beta, which actually would not be possible otherwise. I also have the TikTok shop tab, which is crazy. Also, to make sure you set up your account properly, take a look at the instructions on the website to avoid annoying issues like a shadow ban. As a little cherry on the top of the cake, this friend I mentioned has been kind enough to give all of my subscribers a 20% discount, so if you want to save some money, make sure to use the code HOWTOAI20 when checking out. Now that we got that out of the way, let's get into the actual video creation.
Unless you've been sleeping under a rock, you've probably seen that Reddit story videos are booming on TikTok, generating millions of views, meaning also thousands of dollars. But there's one problem: the niche is so saturated. Everyone, including your grandma, is making Reddit videos on TikTok today. Therefore, you've got to stand out from the crowd and do something different, which is exactly what I'm going to show you how to do.
For this, I've invited my very good friend Horus, the TikTok wizard.
Script Creation
To begin with, we need to create a script, and it can seem like a difficult task in the beginning, but don't worry. This step can be done with our favorite AI software, ChatGPT. When creating your story, you should aim for something controversial that will encourage people to engage with the video. Obviously, I can't do something too controversial here, so for this video, we will go with a Creepypasta story.
AI Voice Generation
Next, take your script and head over to 11 Labs to generate an AI voice. Once on the website, just head over to the voice library and look for a voice that matches your video. I'll go with Marcus for this video. Now, go to the voice lab and paste in your script. I wouldn't recommend you change the voice settings unless you know what you're doing. Lastly, press generate and download the file. Also, Pro Tip: make sure it's over 1 minute long. This is because your video has to be over 60 seconds to be eligible for the creativity program.
Background Video
The next part is my personal favorite: finding the background video. Since people nowadays have the attention span of a squirrel with ADHD, we need to find an engaging video, something like Minecraft parkour or GTA drifting gameplay. I've created a Google Drive folder with some of the most viral gameplay videos and trending sound effects that have been proven to make your videos go viral. I've linked it down below, so make sure to check it out.
Music and Captions
Another important part is the music, and since we're creating a CreepyPasta video, we need some scary music to set the mood. There are two ways you can go about this: either you can go on YouTube and search for some non-copyrighted scary music, or you can just download the one I've uploaded in the drive folder I've linked in the description. Now that we have all the content collected, we just need to put it all together.
I prefer to use CapCut since it's 100% free and has all the tools needed. Instead of just adding our voiceover gameplay, captions, and soundtrack, we're going to add photos and videos throughout the video to make it more engaging.
Putting It All Together
To start off, we need to create a new project and choose the TikTok video format. Start by uploading all your downloaded footage. Go to the media file on the left and drag your footage into the timeline one by one. Make sure to adjust the volume on all the clips so it sounds good. Now it's time to spice up the video by adding some image overlays.
Image Overlays and Animations
In this case, we're creating a Creepypasta story about some summer trip, so we need to generate an image of a cabin for the intro. Head over to Leonardo.AI and download your image. Then, head back to CapCut and upload the images you just created. Place your images in the timeline and adjust them so they match the voice-over. To make the hook really good, place the first image and sound effect pretty much as soon as the video starts. Next, add some animations. Click on the overlay and then on animations on the right, and you can then animate the transition.
Adding Captions and Sound Effects
The next step is to add your captions. You can create them automatically in CapCut using AI. Simply click on captions to the left and then on auto-captions. These captions may look a bit boring, so we're going to use CapCut's caption presets to make the video even higher quality. Click on presets and choose one that looks good. When done, the new version should look something like this: "Last summer I rented this cozy little cabin out in the woods for a weekend getaway."
Finally, add some sound effects. I've added all the most viral sound effects to the same drive folder I mentioned before, so just get them once again over there.
Consistency Is Key
If you've followed all the steps so far, you've created your first TikTok automation video. It should look something like this: "Last summer I rented this cozy little cabin out in the woods for a weekend getaway. Perfect spot, right? Peace, quiet, nature all around, but let me tell you the tranquility didn't last long."
Now, you just have to upload the video to TikTok. The one thing you should keep in mind is that TikTok requires consistency. You have to keep uploading regardless of how many views you get. Most people upload a few videos and then give up. So, keep uploading, and you'll get ahead of 99% of your competition just by being consistent.
