Making Money Ideas
Transform animal science knowledge into catchy Chinese rap using AI tools like Suno V5, and combine it with real documentary footage to create videos on Douyin. Attract targeted fans, and then monetize through ads and product sales. Take the Douyin blogger "Nanxi Yinan" as an example, who used the "AI rap + animal science" approach to gain over 1.25 million followers and millions of likes.
Target Audience
Short video creators who love animal science, have creative expression desires, and are willing to try AI tools. Beginners can also get started easily, without needing professional music or editing skills.
Difficulty Level
Low to medium. AI tools lower the barrier to music production. The core challenge lies in selecting scientific content and matching it with video clips. It takes 1-3 days to get familiar with the tools initially.
Operation Process
Step 1: Determine the Science Topic and Collect Materials
Choose animals or natural phenomena that people are interested in, such as “Legendary Tigers,” “Salmon Migration,” or “Pufferfish Toxin,” ensuring the information is accurate and has a story.
Find copyright-free documentary materials (such as film clips or free video libraries), and ensure the visuals match the topic (e.g., use tiger activity videos if talking about tigers).
Step 2: Use AI to Generate Rap Songs
Open the AI music tool Suno V5 and select the “Custom Mode” (like choosing a custom character in a game).
Write lyrics: Turn scientific knowledge into rhyming short sentences, for example, “Pufferfish toxin is hidden in its body, eating it is dangerous and must be remembered.” You can also ask ChatGPT for help writing lyrics.
Choose the style: In Suno, input “Chinese rap, catchy rhythm, cheerful / exciting” (choose the mood based on the theme), click to generate the song. Free users can generate up to 10 songs per day.
Adjust and optimize: Listen to the generated song. If not satisfied, modify the lyrics or style prompts until the melody sounds good.
Step 3: Create the Video and Publish
Use editing tools (such as CapCut) to pair the rap song with the collected materials. When the lyrics talk about tigers, show tiger footage; when they mention migration, show salmon swimming.
Add subtitles: Make the rap lyrics into eye-catching subtitles so people can learn while watching.
Post on Douyin: Add popular tags (such as #AnimalScience, #AIRap, #LearnSomethingNew), and improve the title (for example, “Discover Pufferfish Science Through Rap, It's So Catchy!”). Post 3-5 videos per week.
Step 4: Monetize After Gaining Followers
After reaching 1,000 followers, activate the product showcase and sell animal-related products (such as science books or pet accessories).
When reaching 100,000 followers, join the Star Map platform to take ads, promoting animal brands or science apps.
Monetize through live streaming: Sing science rap during live streams, letting fans tip you or selling animal-themed products.
Case Analysis
The core highlight of this case is “AI technology + content innovation.” It turns boring science into catchy rap, lowering the creation barrier (AI replaces professional composition) and solving the problem of science content dissemination. It meets Douyin users' needs for easy learning. From the data, it shows the huge potential of this niche, with over a million followers gained in three months and 310 million views in the collection. The monetization path is clear, from product promotion to ad collaborations, suitable for long-term development. However, attention should be paid to copyright issues, avoiding the use of copyrighted documentary clips. At the same time, content accuracy must be maintained, as errors in scientific knowledge can affect the account's credibility. As AI tools become more common, competition in this field may increase. Further optimization of content creativity (such as adding interactive topics and series themes) is needed to maintain competitiveness.
