Case Title
Monetizing AI-Generated "Electronic Grandchild" Short Videos
Earning Idea
Create funny short videos using AI tools where babies explain workplace principles or life philosophy, and post them on platforms like Douyin and Xiaohongshu. Attract advertising collaborations, platform revenue sharing, or traffic monetization through high traffic. For example, the account "Douyin AI Cutie Society" gained over 460,000 likes for a single video of an AI interview with a baby, and has now accumulated 59,000 followers by using similar methods.
Target Audience
Short video creators, content entrepreneurs, humorists skilled at capturing social hot topics, and beginners familiar with AI tools. No need to appear on camera, but basic editing skills and internet sense are required.
Difficulty Level
Moderate to low. You need to learn AI video generation tools (such as Jiemian AI) and editing software, but the operation is not difficult and you can master the basics within a week.
Operation Process
The following steps are explained in the simplest way (like teaching a third grader):
Step 1: Prepare Tools and Materials
- Turn on your computer and register for an AI image generation tool (Jiemian AI). These tools can make people in pictures speak. Use Jiemian AI to generate a baby's headshot and save it to your computer.
- Step 2: Generate AI Video
Select the AI baby image and click to generate the video. The baby will start moving and speaking! If the expression is not exaggerated enough, try a few times and adjust the parameters.
- Step 3: Script Design and Voice Generation
Think of a funny question, such as "Why do babies work?" Then write a script full of wisdom (for example, "I need to accumulate ten years of work experience").
Import the video and use a text-to-speech tool (such as AI voice in Jianying) to generate the baby's voice, and choose a cute tone.
- Step 4: Editing and Posting
- Use editing software on your phone or computer (such as Jianying or CapCut), add subtitles, background music, and funny tags (such as #WorkplaceSurvival).
- Post the video on Douyin and Xiaohongshu, and publish 1-2 videos per day, maintaining regular updates.
- Step 5: Monetization Methods
- When the video gets many likes, advertisers may contact you for collaboration and pay you to promote their products.
- Or activate the platform creator program (such as Douyin's Mid-Length Video Plan) and earn pocket money directly through views. Case Evaluation
This case successfully utilized social hot topics (workplace anxiety, generational contrast) and the novelty of AI technology. It has low content costs and is easy to mass-produce. The advantage lies in its broad audience (especially appealing to young people and elderly groups), high interaction rate, and potential for viral spread. However, note that content homogenization may quickly lead to aesthetic fatigue, so continuous innovation is needed. Also, avoid sensitive topics (such as racial or national stereotypes) that might cause controversy. In the long run, combining personalized IP operations (such as a fixed "AI Baby" persona) may extend the lifecycle.
