00:00Take a look at these creators on Instagram and TikTok.
00:02They're getting hundreds of thousands of views, if not millions, from these short videos that
00:06take them probably five minutes to create. Can you guess how much they're making per month?
00:11Pause the video, drop a comment with your guess, and I'll pin the person that gets it right.
00:16I'm waiting.
00:19We're talking between $10,000 to $30,000 monthly, depending on how they monetize their channels.
00:25What if I told you that you can create 1,000 short clips like these in just 20 minutes and
00:30monetize social media accounts to literally retire yourself from home? In this video,
00:35I'm not only going to show you how to create boatloads of these viral short clips, but also
00:39how you can easily scale your brand and monetize these channels quickly using a secret method to
00:44schedule posts everywhere with one click. I've used it for almost every single one of my businesses
00:49on social media, and it's absolutely crazy. You're watching How2AI, and before we get started,
00:54I've also made an AI tool cheat sheet with 200 plus AI tools categorized after best use case
00:59and prize. It's free, so just grab it in the description below. We're going to use two AI
01:04tools to make shorts and automate the process. The first tool we're using is, of course,
01:10ChatGPT. And don't worry, you won't have to pay for the plus version. I've made sure that this
01:15method can be used by literally anyone, regardless of financial situation or knowledge in online
01:20business. To access ChatGPT, you need to create an account. Once you've done that and logged in,
01:27you'll see a screen that looks somewhat like the one shown in the video. However, if you're using a
01:32free account, you might not see the plus icon, which is visible only because I've paid for the
01:37subscription. But don't worry, you still have access. Our goal is to ask ChatGPT to generate 50
01:43sets of facts that will consist of various topics or facts for the shorts, such as psychology,
01:49motivation, relationships, boy-girl topics, and productivity, to ensure a variety of content.
01:56The main goal is to find topics that are easily relatable and especially shareable,
02:01as many of these platforms push content that folks share with each other. The prompt you will
02:06be using must be refined through testing, because the secret of these AI tools is that when you
02:11enter a perfect prompt, you get the desired result or the closest to it. This might require some testing
02:18back and forth. Once we type in the prompts, we simply click Send Message and let ChatGPT generate
02:26the facts. As a result, we have Column 1 for different types of facts and Column 2 for the starting point.
02:33You can adjust this number as per your requirements, but don't go for too big a number. To create more
02:40prompts, simply copy and paste this second prompt. Generate 20 more using the same specifications
02:48without repeating previous ones. This way, you won't have to worry about creating any repetitive
02:53videos. But now, let's just start with these 20 and proceed. This method I'm going to show you next
02:59will let you automate the whole editing process so that you can create a lot of videos.
03:05First, we just have to copy the entire table and move on to the next tool. With only some few changes,
03:12we'll be able to create 50 videos in no time. Let's visit Canva.com. If you haven't already,
03:19sign up here for a free account. After logging in, you'll see a screen that looks like this.
03:25Once you are on its homepage, click on the search bar in the center and type YouTube Shorts. Select
03:32the YouTube Shorts template and then choose Create Blank Template to create a new template.
03:38For this, we'll just have to make a few adjustments to prepare for automated video creation. First,
03:45you'll need to add a video background. Click on Apps at the bottom left, then scroll down or use the search
03:52bar to find videos. In the search bar, look for something like beach or sunset to find a calming,
03:59ambient background similar to the example. Let's select a video and proceed. If you come across
04:06videos with a crown icon, meaning they require Canva Pro, you'll need to set up a free trial for
04:12the Pro version. This will also be needed for the bulk creation tool. A great tip here is to start the
04:18trial and then cancel it immediately. You'll get one month for free, even if you cancel it directly.
04:23Many videos have crowns because they may not be accessible without activating the trial. However,
04:29if you haven't activated the free trial, you'll find videos like the one we're using that are free
04:35to use. They might not look as good, but it doesn't matter too much for this video. Anyways,
04:40always choose a video that works well as an ambient background and won't distract viewers from the
04:45text. To use a video, simply click on it and expand it to the edge of your editing window,
04:51making it the background for your project. This is what we want to achieve. Release the mouse cursor
04:57to apply it as a background video. Now, the next step is creating the text overlay. First,
05:03let's adjust the video duration to about five to six seconds because longer videos than that might not
05:09be engaging enough for these short form platforms. Just drag the video down here to around the six
05:16second mark. Next, remove any background noise or music from the video. Click on the video, locate the
05:24volume icon up here in the top right corner and drag the volume all the way down to mute it. Now,
05:30let's add text before connecting it to our data for automated video creation. Go to the text section,
05:37add a header, and select your desired text style. It'll get automatically placed on the canvas.
05:43This text is for the topic. Replace the existing text with topic and move it to your desired location.
05:50Now, let's style the text. Double click on the text to select it all. Click on color at the top and
05:58change it to white. Add a background by clicking on effects and then selecting background. It usually
06:04defaults to black, but if not, just scroll down and choose black. This will be your topic text at
06:10the top of the video. So just go ahead and write topic for now. If you prefer, you can also change
06:16the font. Feel free to choose any font that suits your preferences. If you're on the pro trial, you can
06:21even upload your own fonts or explore the Google font library for a wide selection or branding. Next,
06:28let's duplicate the text. Click on it and select duplicate. Drag the duplicated text and put it
06:35below. This will serve as our part one text. So go ahead and write that in there. Just double click
06:42on it to edit and write part one. Remove the background by clicking effects and choosing none.
06:48However, it's good to add an outline to make it a little more noticeable. You want to click on outline,
06:53set the color to black, and increase the thickness to around 75 to 95. This is completely up to you to
07:01decide. Now we also need the part two text. Just duplicate the part one text like before by clicking
07:08on it and selecting duplicate. Now listen carefully because this is important. You want to place the
07:14text right a little bit under the part one text. We're going to want the text later on to show up in
07:20the same spot all the time, but this step is necessary later on for the automation process,
07:25as you'll see soon. Since the part one and part two text can vary in length, and most of them will
07:31probably be a lot longer than just this little box, click and drag from the edges of the purple boxes of
07:38part one and part two text, aligning them with the purple outline around the entire video. If you don't
07:45do this, longer text that gets inserted later on will not fill out the screen in the right way.
07:50This ensures that text wraps within the box and doesn't overflow the video's edges, making it
07:57unreadable. Now let's change the timing for when our two sets of text appear in our video. We don't
08:03want both part one and part two to display at the same time. To manage this, right-click on part one
08:09and select show timing. This will bring up a timeline view at the bottom, allowing you to adjust when
08:16each part of the text appears. For a six-second video, it's a good idea to have part one displayed
08:22for most of the video's duration and then have part two appear for a shorter period. This encourages
08:28viewers to re-watch the video, leading to longer retention and higher watch rates, which is super
08:33important in order to make your video go viral. You can set part one to show for, say, three and a half,
08:39seconds, which you can also adjust as needed and do the same for part two, having it appear at three
08:46and a half seconds into the video. Now we're finally at the crazy part. Not many people know of this
08:51feature on Canva, and it's called Bulk Create. It's time to link our text with the data which we'll be
08:57using the tool for. Click on Apps at the bottom left of your screen, and you should find the tool there.
09:04If not, you can also use the search bar to find it. The feature will prompt you to input your data,
09:09because we let ChatGPT create the facts in a table format, we can copy and paste it directly. So just
09:17go back to ChatGPT, copy the data, return to Canva, click Enter Data Manually, and select the top left
09:26cell in the first column and paste your text. It will automatically format the text into Topics,
09:32Part 1 and Part 2, just like we wanted. Now, click Done. Next, let's connect the data to the specific
09:40elements in your editor. Here, right-click on the Topic text and choose Connect Data. Then select Topic
09:48once again. You'll see these clams around it, which means your data has now been connected. Just repeat
09:55this process for Part 1 and Part 2, but with the right source. With everything connected, you need
10:01to move the Part 2 text and put it over Part 1, because we want both sets of text to display one
10:08after the other in the same spot. Part 1 should be shown for the first 3.5 seconds, followed by Part 2
10:15for the remaining 2.5 seconds. When it's lined up correctly, click on Continue down to the left.
10:21Now, when you hit Generate, it will bulk create all your videos that ChatGPT provided. You might
10:28encounter some weird glitch that it only generates 49 videos, but it won't affect the actual videos,
10:33except you lose one video. I don't know why this happens, to be honest. Once it's finished,
10:38you'll be able to quickly export these videos by clicking Share in the top right corner, and then
10:45Download. Make sure to select Download Pages as Separate Files. Pretty self-explanatory,
10:51you get all these videos downloaded as separate files. And that's pretty much how you can create
10:56these videos. And if you want to go the extra mile, use some online software to bulk edit these
11:02videos and add a trendy sound to all of them. This will boost the engagement of these videos a lot
11:07and make them more captivating than before. It's probably possible in Canva, but we gotta keep
11:12going so the video doesn't become too long. The result will look something like this.
11:23However, for these short clips, the most important part is not how you create them,
11:27but what you do with them. Many creators will just leave you here and let you proceed on your own,
11:32but I'm gonna show you how to utilize this method to the max and easily grow several accounts to over
11:37100,000 followers in one month. We'll want to use a very special website called Buffer.
11:43This is every content creator's dream tool. It's the easiest way to schedule all your posts
11:48on all social platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, but with one click,
11:54meaning you don't have to do it manually on every channel. What you want to do is sign up for their
11:59free trial as well and create an account. After that, connect all your social media accounts to Buffer
12:05so that it ends up looking like this. It's a pretty repetitive, straightforward process so I won't show
12:11that now. Anyways, now you just want to go to your calendar and click on Create Post. Simply choose
12:18which channels you want to upload to and insert your clip. Fill out some captions and then you are
12:24literally ready to publish it this easily on all your platforms. I won't be able to post something now
12:31for obvious reasons, but you just press share now and it automatically does it for you.
12:37And congratulations. If you got this far, you've just automated your whole content creation process
12:42and will now be able to surpass your competitors super easily. If you post a lot of these videos
12:47every day on every platform and actually stay consistent, you'll without a doubt get incredible
12:53amounts of traction and views. The video has already gone too long now, but if you want to learn how to
12:58monetize these channels later on when you've gained a decent following, like the video and leave a
13:02comment to let me know. I've linked all the websites you use below so you can access them quickly. If
13:07you want to, join my discord and share your results. I'll also help you if you have any questions. Have a great one.
