Can I show you an underrated AI business that is earning people $300 a day, $500 a day, and even over $700 plus per day?

And can I show you the exact AI tools that this business uses to run it as a solo oneperson business with zero employees so that you can do this, too?

Well, that is the challenge I have set myself today. And I don't want to waste

myself today. And I don't want to waste your time. So, let's just jump straight

your time. So, let's just jump straight into it. And we're going to start out by

into it. And we're going to start out by looking at what this business actually is and how it's able to earn so much money. Yep. So, here it is. It's the AI

money. Yep. So, here it is. It's the AI niche music business. I talked about this a few weeks ago on this channel and a lot of people requested I make a full step-by-step tutorial. So, here is that

step-by-step tutorial. So, here is that video. But yes, basically I shared how

video. But yes, basically I shared how there are AI background music videos in very specific niches that are at least one hour long which feature a bunch of songs put together as a montage such as

African tribal music or oud guitar music that are wildly popular getting millions of views and earning their creators hundreds of thousands of dollars here on YouTube. And I find it really

YouTube. And I find it really interesting because before AI, this was a business that was basically impossible to do. So for example, you take this

to do. So for example, you take this video here, right? This is super specific. It is just a bunch of Tibetian

specific. It is just a bunch of Tibetian flute songs. And look, it has had over

flute songs. And look, it has had over 12 million views. And if you check out their description, you'll see that they've labeled that it was AI generated. And I'm not surprised, right?

generated. And I'm not surprised, right?

Because think about it. In the past to have made this, it would have been really hard. You would have had to have

really hard. You would have had to have found and hired someone who can even play to be flute music. And that's a really niche skill. So, you could have easily paid over $1,000 to someone to

make this music for you. But now with AI, as I'll show you, you can make these videos for just 20 cents to as low as eight cents per video. It's crazy. And

look, I will freely admit it. I love

these videos. I watch these sorts of videos all the time because sometimes you're just in the mood for a different type of vibe, you know? Like some days I want my house to have an oriental vibe.

Other times I want to feel like I'm in a medieval tavern. And then on some days I

medieval tavern. And then on some days I want to feel like I'm in a futuristic space city. And in other days, I just

space city. And in other days, I just want to feel like I'm back in Japan in the 1980s. I genuinely love these

the 1980s. I genuinely love these videos. And they can make a lot of money

videos. And they can make a lot of money because here's the thing, right? YouTube

has a monetization program which splits ad revenue with us creators. And as you can see, how much we get paid does change dayto-day. And honestly, it can

change dayto-day. And honestly, it can change depending on the video niche. So

I decided to go straight to the source.

And I found creators on the Sunno AI music generator subreddit who reported their earnings. and they reported to

their earnings. and they reported to earn a monetization rate of $3 to $8 RPM, which means revenue per 1,000 views. So, if we do the math, then 12

views. So, if we do the math, then 12 million views would on average earn an AI music business anywhere from $36,000 to over $97,000.

And if you come to SocialBlade, you'll see that they only started uploading videos just 14 months ago, as of me filming this video. And combined, when you add up the views from all of their

videos, it comes out to over 36 million views, which if we do the math means we can estimate that they have earned on average up to $294,000

which works out to be on average over $21,000 per month or over $700 per day.

And before anyone asks, yes, these videos are so popular that even brand new channels like this one, which have only been uploading videos for just one month as of me filming this video, are

also crushing it, gaining over 400,000 views. So yes, as you can see, there is

views. So yes, as you can see, there is huge potential in the AI music business.

However, as I said, despite all this potential, I truly believe that this business is extremely underrated. And I

think it's because a few months ago, a rumor was started by people who don't like AI, saying that YouTube was going to demonetize AI videos in a new rules update. It wasn't true, but a lot of

update. It wasn't true, but a lot of people believed it and still believe it.

People still leave comments on my videos talking about it. But again, it's not true. Team YouTube even directly

true. Team YouTube even directly responded clarifying that original AI content that doesn't violate their rules is still eligible to be monetized. And

you can even go to Reddit and see for yourself the creators, including new creators, using AI music to make monetized videos on YouTube. So yeah, I think that this rumor has made this a

very underrated business idea. So yes

either way, let's now discuss how you can create videos like these step by step by using this AI tool workflow. And

we're going to start this tutorial off by learning how to use AI to generate niche AI songs. And to do that, we're going to use what is probably the most popular, highly rated AI music generator

there is. Sunno, which you can actually

there is. Sunno, which you can actually try 100% for free. So once you're logged in, come and click on create. Then come

to the version picker and select the latest version available to you. Now you

just need to describe what you want your song to include in the prompt box. And

at this point, you might be thinking okay, Sarah, but how did you know to prompt Sunno with all of that? And

that's a good question. So to create a prompt, there are two things that you're going to need to do first. So firstly

you will need to know, of course, what music niche you want to make your video about. And for me, I chose to make mine

about. And for me, I chose to make mine about 19th century British Regency music, the sort that you would hear if you know you watch Pride and Prejudice.

And there are two reasons I picked this niche. The first is because if you come

niche. The first is because if you come to YouTube and you do your search for it, you will see that while there are quite a lot of AI background music videos in the 19th century music niche

on here, they are mostly in the dark academia Gothic style, which is very different from the aristocrat Regency style. And it makes sense. Currently

style. And it makes sense. Currently

dark academia 1800s Gothic music is a very trendy niche. So, the audience is huge. Therefore, people are fighting

huge. Therefore, people are fighting over it. But that's not my strategy.

over it. But that's not my strategy.

When I start a new business, I like to look for gaps in the market that I can fill. Opportunities which even if they

fill. Opportunities which even if they are smaller, have a lot less competition. And to me, this looks like

competition. And to me, this looks like an interesting opportunity. Everyone is

so focused on fighting over the Gothic music niche that they aren't even noticing the smaller but still popular British Regency niche. But secondly, I also picked it because if you do come

and open up any one of the very few videos available in this niche, this one here,, for example,, with, 1.8, million views and then you go and you check out their YouTube profile, you'll see that they aren't even an established creator.

This was literally their very first video and it was immediately successful.

In the YouTuber world, we call this a video outlier, which basically means that it had disproportionately high success relative to how few subscribers that this creator had when they posted

it. This is often a big indication that

it. This is often a big indication that there is a large unmet demand for a video topic because even a creator with zero subscribers was able to get 1.8

million views on their video on this topic. But yes, once I had picked my

topic. But yes, once I had picked my music niche to make my video on, I then came to Chat GPT. The free version of Chat GPT works absolutely fine for this.

You don't need to pay for a subscription if you don't want to. Just tell it that you're creating a song using Sunno and you need prompts. Tell it what your niche is and also tell it if it should have lyrics or whether it should just be

instrumental. For most niches, you will

instrumental. For most niches, you will probably want it to be instrumental only. And then that is it. Chat GPT will

only. And then that is it. Chat GPT will now generate ideas for prompts that you can use to create a song with Suno. You

can either take its prompts as is or modify them like I did here. Either way

it's up to you. But yes, back in Sunno you just need to click the instrumental box if you want it to be just an instrumental song and then click generate. And it will now generate two

generate. And it will now generate two songs for you. Each song costs five credits. So, it's 10 credits in total

credits. So, it's 10 credits in total for two songs. And the songs are super cool. Here's a preview of one of the

cool. Here's a preview of one of the songs that I generated. Let's give it a listen.

Pretty [Music] neat, right? And at any point if you

neat, right? And at any point if you want to download or edit a video, just click on your library in the menu. And

now you'll be able to see all of the songs that you've generated. And if you don't like any parts of the song, like for example, you don't like the way that it ends, you can open them up in the editor, then click and drag your cursor

to select the portion of the song that you want to change. So let's say, for example, I wanted to change the ending.

I can now click the replace button, and Sunno will now generate for me two new versions of the section of the video for me to pick from. And here is the thing right? It is crazy cheap to generate

right? It is crazy cheap to generate songs like this using AI. Like, I am not joking. Take a look for yourself. Now

joking. Take a look for yourself. Now

there is a free version of Sunno. The

free plan gets you 50 credits a day for free, but you don't get a commercial license for the songs that you generate.

But if you want to actually make money you will want to get the pro plan, which gives you a commercial license. And you

only need the lowest cost plan, which is $10 a month or $8 a month if you pay yearly. This gets you 2,500 credits.

yearly. This gets you 2,500 credits.

Now, you think about it, right? A song

costs five credits. That means that you can make 500 songs every month. Which

means then that if you do the math, each song costs just 2 cents to 1.6 cents.

Now that is crazy, especially when you consider that as I'll show you when it comes time to edit these videos, you are only going to need like 5 to 10 songs per video max. So that means then that

each video will cost you anywhere from just 20 cents to as low as 8 cents per video. So yeah, AI is by far the

video. So yeah, AI is by far the cheapest way to start this business idea. But yes, now that we've got our

idea. But yes, now that we've got our music, let's now generate a background image for free. Yes, and you can use a paid image generator like MidJourney if you have one. But if you don't have a

paid one, then we can just use a free image generator instead to save some money. And I have two free image

money. And I have two free image generators that are my favorite right now. The first is Nano Banana. And as I

now. The first is Nano Banana. And as I said in this video here, I'm kind of obsessed with it right now. To access

it, just come to the Google AI Studio and click Nano Banana. Then in the settings, set the image resolution to be 16 by9. Then just prompt Nano Banana

16 by9. Then just prompt Nano Banana with whatever image you want and let it do its magic. And as you can see, it did a great job with this painting. But

here's the cool thing about Nano Banana right? Let's say I just want the house

right? Let's say I just want the house and gardens and not the people. I can

ask Nano Banana to remove them, and it will do just that. it will generate a new version of the image with the edits that you requested. Easy. You can then just download this image and use it as

is. So, that's one way to generate

is. So, that's one way to generate images. The second way is with my other

images. The second way is with my other current free image generator, Leonardo.

They give you 150 free credits each day.

Just create a free account and then select create an image. Then, choose

your image model. The base Leonardo image model works well for lots of image styles. Then, set your image resolution

styles. Then, set your image resolution to be 16 by9. and then just type in your prompt and then click generate. And

that's it. Leonardo will generate four images for you. And the nice thing about these is there's no watermark. And as an optional extra, if you want to edit your images, I highly recommend my favorite

AI powered graphics editing app, Canva.

You can use the free Canva plan. But if

you want to access the AI features, you will need the pro plan. Luckily, Canva

is still giving out a huge free 30-day pro trial. So, if you want this for

pro trial. So, if you want this for free, I'll include my affiliate link in the video description. And there are two tweaks I recommend. First, click the image and click edit. In the editing menu, scroll down to apps and then

select the image upscale and upscale the image into high resolution. A lot of AI image generators produce images in low resolution. So, this will upscale it to

resolution. So, this will upscale it to be suitable for HD YouTube videos. And

my second tweak is to again click edit and then in the menu select adjust. And

now you can go through and use the sliders to adjust the image and get it looking exactly the way that you want for the colors. So if I want to make it look more vintage, I could decrease the highlights. Or if I wanted to make it

highlights. Or if I wanted to make it look bright and sunny, I can increase it either way. Once you got your image

either way. Once you got your image looking the way that you want, just click share, then click download and make sure that PNG is selected. Then

increase the image size and resolution to be two to three times. Then just

click download. And that's it. Now, I'm

going to show you how you can choose to animate this picture. But first, all this talk about Canva can't help but remind me of today's video sponsor. Me.

Yes. Because you see, there are so many shady YouTube sponsors these days, it can be hard to find sponsors I trust for my videos. And so, since I didn't find a

my videos. And so, since I didn't find a sponsor I trust for this video, I've just chosen to sponsor it myself. And

I'm sponsoring it today to let you know that if you haven't seen my case study videos before, I actually have my own oneperson AI business. Basically, I sell AI generated clothing prints onto

products such as shirts. Here's what I do. First, I generate art using AI image

do. First, I generate art using AI image generators, and I use Chat GPT to come up with viral slogan ideas. And then, I combine them together in Canva and turn them into a finished clothing print

which I then upload to print on demand apps to create my own cool custom clothing like this, which I then sell for a profit through both Etsy and Shopify. And so if you'd like to learn

Shopify. And so if you'd like to learn more about my oneperson AI business I'll link to my videos that discuss it in the video description. Plus, you can also download a copy of my free ebook the six steps that sixfigure online

stores follow to make over $10,000 a month with print on demand. You can find a link to download my free ebook in the video description below. And if you want even more info, I also have a video

course called the Ecom Clubhouse, which includes in-depth video tutorials on my tricks I use to get free traffic to my AI clothes. So, I'll also include a link

AI clothes. So, I'll also include a link to this in the description. But anyway

back to the video. And let me now show you how you can animate these background images using AI. And it's actually really easy. Although, I do want to note

really easy. Although, I do want to note that animating is entirely optional.

Some videos on YouTube, like this one here, choose to add in subtle animations to their backgrounds to enhance them whereas other ones, like this one here just have one single still image for the

entire video. So, it is a personal

entire video. So, it is a personal preference, but either way, I'll show you how you can animate each video for just 38 cents using my current favorite

lowcost AI animating tool, Cling. It's

really simple to use. Once logged in just click to make a video and then set the tool version to be 2.1. Next, come

and upload your picture to be the first frame of the video. Then, click the end frame button and upload the same picture to also be the final frame. Then just

come to the prompt box and explain what you want your animation to be. And I'd

also turn off sound effects since, well we already have sound for this video.

It's the music. And then you can select how long you want it to be. If you

select 10 seconds, it will cost you 70 credits. If you select 5 seconds, it

credits. If you select 5 seconds, it will cost you just 35 credits. So either

way, it's up to you. Then once you're done, just click generate. And that's

it. In just 3 minutes or so, you will have your animation. And here it is.

Because we have the first frame of the animation be the exact same as the last frame. It means then that you have

frame. It means then that you have created a perfect loop. This feature

frame to frame is not available currently for all cling versions which is why I picked 2.1 for it since currently version 2.5 doesn't have this feature although it might have it in the

future. So you can pick it then. And as

future. So you can pick it then. And as

I said these animations are surprisingly cheap. I mean think about it. In the

cheap. I mean think about it. In the

past, you could have easily paid an animator hundreds of dollars just for this one animation. But now, you can get a cling subscription for just $7. This

gets you 660 credits, which is all you need. Because if we do the math, 660

need. Because if we do the math, 660 credits means that you can animate the background for 9 to 18 different videos which also means then that each video

costs on average just 77 cents to just 38 cents to animate. So, yeah, AI has now made this crazy cheap, too. But yes

either way, we are now going to actually edit the video so that we can upload it.

Yay. And you can use any video editor that you like. So, if you prefer to use Da Vinci since it's a free and open-source editor, you can use that. Or

if you like the classic Adobe Premiere Pro, that's fine, too. But for me, a lot of viewers of this channel love Cap Cut.

So, I'll be using that for this tutorial. I'll also be using the desktop

tutorial. I'll also be using the desktop version of Cap Cut that you can install on your computer. So, if you'd like to follow along with me specifically, I'll include my affiliate link to where you

can get a 7-day free trial subscription to Cap Cut Pro in the video description below. But yes, just start a new video

below. But yes, just start a new video editing project. Then come and upload

editing project. Then come and upload all the songs that you'll be using and either your background image or your looping background animation. Then come

and choose a song to start your video with and drag it onto the timeline. Then

come and pick your second song and drag that onto the timeline. Then we're going to add in a quick crossfade. A crossfade

is when you blend the start of one song with the end of another. So, here's what it will sound like before the crossfade.

[Music] And here's what it will sound like after.

[Music] It's a subtle but nice change. So to do this, just come and zoom in on your two songs in your editing timeline. Then

once zoomed in, place one song underneath the other song so that the ending of the first song and the beginning of the first song slightly overlap. Then with your cursor over one

overlap. Then with your cursor over one song, you'll find a little circle. Click

and hold the circle and drag it to the point where the two clips meet. You'll

then see a little black arc appear as you do that. Then come and do the same with the other clip, too. And then

that's it. I just went and added each of my songs in, cross-fading them as I went. The process was pretty quick. It

went. The process was pretty quick. It

took about 5 minutes, and it was well worth the extra time to add this in. But

yes, here's the finished product. Now

here's the thing, right? Most background

music videos are at least 1 hour long but my 10 songs are only 28 minutes. And

that's fine because I've noticed that most these videos will just have one playlist with music for 20 to 30 minutes and then they'll just repeat that like two times, which is why you only really

need five to 10 songs per video especially if you repeat any of your favorite songs across multiple videos.

So yes, to repeat it, just drag a cursor over all the songs, then rightclick one and click group. Now you can again click this group and this time click the copy button. Then right click an empty space

button. Then right click an empty space on the timeline next to it and click paste. And then do that again. And now

paste. And then do that again. And now

you have over one hour of music. And we

can just add in our visuals. If you're

using a picture, you can just drag your picture on top of the music and then put your cursor over the edge of the image.

Click it and then drag it to the right across the timeline until it reaches the end of the music. And that's it. You'll

have a background picture for the entirety of your video. Or

alternatively, if you're choosing to use a looping animation, just pop the animation clip multiple times onto your timeline. And then to speed this up, you

timeline. And then to speed this up, you can group some animations together and then just copy and paste this group to duplicate it quickly. But yes, that's pretty much it. And so now, because I've

gone ahead and duplicated this animation across the timeline, the fountain animation now forms a continuous perfect loop throughout the entire video

runtime, which is about 1 hour and 25 minutes. And so then once you've got

minutes. And so then once you've got this, all you need to do is export it which is easy. Just click export, then give your video a title, and the standard HD 1080p settings are usually

fine for videos like this in my experience. And then that's it. Click

experience. And then that's it. Click

export. And now you can upload it to YouTube. Yay. So if this video helped

YouTube. Yay. So if this video helped you, please consider subscribing. And if

you'd like to learn more about my oneperson AI business, you can be sure to check out this next video here on screen. and I will see you in the next

screen. and I will see you in the next
