How to Get Rich with AI Influencers

AI Summary

This article is a direct playbook from a self-proclaimed pioneer of viral AI influencer trends, claiming responsibility for major trends like "AI grandmas" and "ASMR fruit cutting." It moves beyond the superficial view of AI content creation, positioning itself as a strategic guide for engineering virality and converting it into direct, recurring revenue. The value lies in its insider perspective on reverse-engineering algorithms and audiences for profit. The author argues that success with AI influencers is not random but a repeatable system built on high-quality content, psychologically-driven messaging, and a direct monetization funnel. The core framework is a four-step process: 1) Create high-quality AI content, 2) Master conversion-focused messaging that targets emotional pain points, 3) Generate audio and video using specific tools, and 4) Post strategically on platforms where audiences have spending power. The foundation is "high quality" content engineered to go viral, not generic AI clips. Success requires strategic thought, not just using AI tools. Messaging must follow an emotional journey: call out a niche pain point, offer genuine help, and end with a natural call to action. Target emotionally-invested, older demographics with money (e.g., spirituality, health, fitness), not low-converting niches like "looksmaxxing." The primary monetization funnel captures emails via lead magnets from video comments, nurtures leads, and funnels them into a paid Whop community ($29-$79/month). This is then scaled with premium upsells like courses or mentorship to the most engaged subscribers. Platform strategy prioritizes Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts for their higher buyer intent, over TikTok's younger audience. All content funnels to a single landing page. The author views this as an unsaturated, "broken" opportunity because AI influencers can be engineered with unique, viral traits impossible for a real person, all while building instant trust and authority within a niche.

you've seen them everywhere lately.

the ai monks. the ai grandmas. the ai girls.

most people think it's just "generate a character, throw it in veo 3 or kling, with terrible voices and "pray it goes viral."

they're wrong.

there are people reverse engineering audiences and algorithms. strategically going viral in specific niches. targeting exact demographics. engineering virality and direct revenue.

i'm one of them.

i've grown some of the biggest ai accounts you've probably seen

i've started most of the major ai video trends you've seen blow up.

viral ai grandmas ?
yeah, i started that.

asmr fruit cutting with veo 3 ?
yeah, i started that.

viral ai baby influencers?
also me....

and many many more that you have most likely seen

every time i went ultra viral, it was strategic. i reverse engineered exactly who i was trying to target and executed successfully every single time.

all organic. zero paid ads.

this is insanely broken right now.

step 1: make high quality ai content

this is the most important part by far.

your shitty ai videos are not going to do well on any platform.

the reason i can go viral every single time is because i make high quality ai content.

if you're making terrible content, there is zero chance you will go viral or have converting audiences.

the first step is learning to make high quality content. not throwing it into some random ai ad maker saas and posting it.

i mean actual good high quality content that you put thought into. content engineered to go viral.

that's the hardest part.

step 2: understand messaging

this is what drives conversion.

we want money. who cares about views if they're not converting to real dollars.

the process is simple and repeatable. i've shown this to countless people and they've all gone viral and converted well..

here's the high level overview of the emotional journey in the messaging:

call people out on their pain points

offer genuine help and insight

create an emotional journey in 60-90 seconds

end with a natural call to action

by the time someone watches your ai character talk for multiple minutes about their very niche pain points, they feel the need to buy your offer.

it's human nature. if someone gets you and understands you and looks like an authority figure in a niche they love, of course they want to buy.

pick niches where people are emotionally invested

think about things like:

spirituality/manifestation

health & wellness

religion

fitness

dating/relationships

personal development

that's just the tip of the iceberg. the niches go much deeper than that.

there are people making money with ai influencers in niches you've never heard about before.

ai influencers are nothing like we've seen before. we can build instant trust with audiences (if you have good videos) and convert these videos into real revenue.

step 3: generate audio and video

for audio: elevenlabs voice prompting → voice design is the straightforward way.

for video: there are multiple tools. infinite talk or heygen can work to get the ball rolling.

if you want the full process i use, you'd have to access the system.

step 4: start posting

primary platforms:

facebook

instagram

yt shorts

tiktok

the real money is on facebook, instagram, and yt shorts.

tiktok is good but younger audience with less buying intent in most cases.

target people with money

i see a lot of people doing this wrong.

they're running niches like "looksmaxxing" and other bs niches. these are low converting because they target kids.

a kid who watches streamers all day does not have money.

you need to target people with money.

forget all the shiny things like looksmaxxing. yeah you can maybe make a few thousand but it will die very quickly.

instead target older demographics. niche pain points in older demographics and more mature audiences.

these people have money to spend and often go through deeper niche struggles than kids, which you can use in your copy.

monetization funnel

here's a high level overview of what one of the monetization funnels looks like:

capture emails with lead magnets

make every video end with your character saying "comment '[keyword]' for my free guide."

when they comment, send them a link that requires email signup to access the guide.

now you've captured them into your funnel.

create your whop community

this is the core monetization.

price at $29-79/month depending on your niche.

inside:

teachings from your character

exclusive guides and frameworks

video lessons

actionable exercises

position it based on your niche:

> spirituality → "master [name]'s 30-day healing journey"

> fitness → "the transformation brotherhood"

> manifestation → "the abundance inner circle"

nurture with emails

send valuable emails 2-3x per week for 1-2 weeks before introducing the community.

follow the same psychological structure as your videos:

call out their pain

deliver genuine insight

position the community as the solution

don't pitch immediately. build trust first.

then when you introduce the whop community, it feels like the obvious next step.

funnel all traffic to one place

create a landing page with lovable.

put this link in your bio on all platforms.

the landing page should:

capture email before redirecting to whop

show social proof (member testimonials, results)

make the transformation clear

every piece of content funnels back to this page.

scale with upsells

once people are paying $50/month and actively engaged in the community, offer premium upgrades:

exclusive video course from [character name] ($297-497)

private mentorship group with weekly teachings ($197/month upgrade)

lifetime access to all content + future releases ($997)

personalized ai tools or assessments ($47-97)

the people already paying you monthly are your hottest buyers.

they've already proven they trust your ai character and see value in what you offer.

upselling them is easier than finding new customers.

everything is engineered for virality → direct revenue

there is massive amounts of money to still be made with this.

i don't think this can ever get saturated because it's the same ideology as a real person making content, except with ai influencers we can add unique things to them that strategically make them go viral that a real person could never do.

we're in the early days of ai influencers.

i packaged the entire system

i created a full system breaking down exactly how i make high quality content and turn those views into direct revenue.

i show literally everything i'm running right now. without gatekeeping a thing.

the complete ai content system includes:

how to create high quality ai videos that look realistic

the exact messaging frameworks that drive conversion

platform-specific strategies for facebook, instagram, yt shorts, tiktok

full monetization funnels that turn views into recurring revenue

the tools and workflows i actually use daily

how to reverse engineer virality in any niche

how to scale from zero to hundreds of thousands of followers

everything i've learned building multiple six-figure ai influencer accounts.
