Monetization Angle

The use of AI technology to create idiomatic story content, combined with the communication power of short video platforms, attracts a large number of fans, and monetizes through ad deals, product sales, paid knowledge products, commissioned work, and other methods. Take the following small red book account "Sailing Shihai" as an example. His approach is mainly to focus on children's fable stories, use AI to restore the pictures of fable scenes, and easily gained 47,000 followers.

In fact, on the Xiaohongshu platform, there are many accounts with similar accounts that use AI to restore pictures of idiomatic story scenes, which have gained 10,000+ followers this way. For example, the two accounts in the figure below are this practice.

So how do you, as an ordinary person, use AI to quickly create this kind of idiom story video? AIbase will continue to share with you the steps of the hands-on tutorial, which will teach you how to make such works.

Monetization actions:

• Create or adapt a story using AI tools such as GPT. Let's take the idiom "tortoise and rabbit race" as an example, let Kimi generate a short story copy for children to watch at any time. In order to prevent the copywriting of the generated story from being too long, it is best to limit the length of the generated copywriting in the instruction word. In the following figure, the copy length is limited to about 150 words, and the instruction part can be extracted with pictures.
• After generating the text story, you will then design the story's split-screen, including a visual description of each scene and AI drawing prompts. Next, we will continue to use the idiom "tortoise and rabbit race" as an example to generate split-shot shots.
• This operation is also very simple. First, enter the storyboard instruction words in the Kimi dialog box. The specific instruction words are as follows:
• After entering the instruction word, then enter the idiom story copy of the tortoise and rabbit race to generate a split-screen. The result is as follows:
• Use tools that can generate AI images (such as Midjourney, Jimeng (Dreamina), Tencent Yuanbao, etc.) to generate images based on sub-shot prompts.
• In this case, directly choose to use Tencent Yuanbao to generate 3D cartoon-style pictures, which is faster and has a good effect. Below, let Tencent Yuanbao generate a series of images directly based on the generated text cues.
• It should be emphasized that in order to ensure a more uniform style for the characters, it is best to fix the image of the animal and the style type of each prompt. For example, the editor always asks for white rabbits and green turtles in the prompt, and requires 3D cartoon style. The generation effect is as follows:
• Import AI-generated images into video editing software, add background music and voiceover, and make short videos. The following operation is very simple, that is, import the series diagram generated above into the clip, and then add text subtitles, soundtracks, etc.
• Choose the right short video platform to post content, such as TikTok, Xiaohongshu, WeChat Channels, etc.
• Realize the commercial value of content through advertising cooperation, product sales, and tipping.

Case Review

This content format not only stimulates children's interest in learning, but also provides cultural enjoyment for adults, and has high market potential and social value.

The image step can run in Jimeng (Dreamina), ByteDance's AI image and short-video creation platform, which handles consistent cartoon-style output well. One current datapoint from ChatGPT's official page: Page metadata references the iOS ChatGPT app (Apple app id 6448311069) (https://chatgpt.com).
