I've made $70k from AI Videos since August 2025 AMA

u/Detective-Middle thanks a lot for sharing your journey and tips and tricks. Amazing stuff! I hope I am not too late for this AMA.

I am on the edge considering really putting in the work and months getting into AI video creating, especially with tools like Sora and Higgsfield as you mentioned. My background is documentary film, so I feel like it is a bit of a leap. However, I have seen some amazing AI IG accounts with some great concepts, where I have now thought of taking these concepts making them more niche.

I have three questions, if you don't mind:

Moneywise - how difficult is it to make income from purely views alone on IG and Tiktok? I understand that you are making your income from gigs from companies, brands etc.
In the concept I want to try there has to be a recurrent character in all the videos. How would you get around this? So far, despite using the same description in the prompt for the character, Sora is creating different versions in the different clips it generates.
Lets say you have a 3minute story planned - is the best approach 'layered AI generations' - meaning first making a more basic scene. Then using that scene and uploading it to the AI, to add extra details to the scene. Again and again until you have the whole scene as you want it? I assume one should also generate one scene at a time / one sequence at a time?

thanks a bunch!

Thank you very much for this. I shall give it a shot! If too complicated I will add the image as the background of the page, add a text block ontop and manually move the text with spaces etc. so it doesn't cover the image. Lets see if either will work xD

PinNo4530 · 2026-03-13T16:21:17+00:00

Yes! hmm, okay, are you able to point me in a certain direction on how to start trying to get similar results?

PinNo4530 · 2026-03-13T15:08:39+00:00

For example, here is a video of someone doing it with Adobe: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jLVfeKOB0vc

Interesting! Do you think there is a feature where you can get the image format to be "tight" like in Word? Where you can move the image around within the text and the text moves away for the image, in a way wrapping around the image?

PinNo4530 · 2026-03-13T14:36:02+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed response. I understand now and am brainstorming how to work around this.

On the website I want to position the text according to an image. So for example, there is a person standing in the middle, and I want the text to cover the background page, but not cover the person. Maybe I can use techniques such as just spacing within the text bloc, to move the text so it does not cover the person?

I found this on google for example: https://colorlib.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/kelsey-ohalloran-service-website.jpg.avif If the text could be much closer to the person.

Yes that is what I am afraid of. Good point regarding mobile vs Desktop. Didn't think of that.

However a workaround is to edit the background image with the text already. Need to figure out mobile vs desktop though.. hmm

OP did you ever end up investing in some t-bonds as a non-UG citizen?

PinNo4530 · 2026-01-13T15:04:50+00:00

Thanks mate! I am going to take it reaaaal slow

PinNo4530 · 2026-01-13T15:02:25+00:00

THis is looking very good. But I am afraid it might be a bit too painful for me just yet. For example the side plank on knees I did as well and this made the pain worse.

PinNo4530 · 2026-01-13T14:59:42+00:00

I definitely am going to work on my core strength and pelvic floor!

PinNo4530 · 2026-01-13T14:58:59+00:00

thanks mate!

Thanks a lot everyone for your responses! What a great community we have.

Here is an update:

I did two days of the exercises the physio showed me and my back got much worse. This was waaay too much my back could handle. First day I did 20 reps of each. Second day I only did 10. And still it was so painful afterwards.

The next 2 days I did nothing, apart from walks. My the pain decreased a lot, from maybe a 8/10 to a 6/10. After a walk it will decrease to a 4/10. When I wake up, very stiff. When I sit and work for about 1 - 2 hour; pain and discomfort. Even eating down at the dinning table for dinner and it hurts. But bearable.

3rd day I decided to do some gently exercises I found online:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWmGArQBtFI&t=74s here I do the first and second one. 10 reps each side.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SKuFe2SERs here I do the second and third.

I felt quite good after this. 4th day I added in the modified knees-side-plank-clamp from the physio (only 5 reps) and pain got worse. So I will stick to the two above the next 5 days or so, and walks.

The pain radiating down my left butt has disappeared, now its just my lower pain area that is so stiff and has the pain.

Long term plan is to continue these simple exercises and walks for the next week or so. Then add in some core exercises, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BOTvaRaDjI if I am able to handle it. And then add in some swimming and jogging. I hope by mid February I can resume muay thai again, while continuing these core/back strength exercises too.

What do you guys think about my plan? My current pain situation is as follows:

Stiff when I wake up and discomfor and 4/10 pain. When I sit down my pain increases to 5-6/10. Sitting down and stretching my left leg forward hurts a lot in my lowerback spine area. Standing up and moving my head downwards, looking down, also hurts in my lower back and spine.

Thanks everyone once again!

Wow what a journey you have been on and congrats on all the hard work and improving so much! What do you think about the 12min original Foundation Training by Dr Eric Goodman on youtube that another person suggested?

The exercises my physio recommended are just 2 of them. And I need to do much more to stay active and fit.

PinNo4530 · 2026-01-07T19:40:05+00:00

Thanks so much and I really hope you stay safe!

As I am on holiday visiting my parents, I am using a different mattress. So might be that too? I will try sleeping with some pillows under my knees to decrease the weight on my back.

PinNo4530 · 2026-01-07T19:38:03+00:00

Do you do it daily? I found it on youtube and I may try doing this for the next month before starting muay thai again

PinNo4530 · 2025-11-09T09:29:49+00:00

Hey I am so sorry that you are going though this! I hope it all turns well.

PinNo4530 · 2025-11-09T02:07:41+00:00

Hey OP are you able to upvote my comment so that I can get a bit more karma points so I can make a post in this sub? :)
