How To Go Viral With AI Videos (and monetize)

Create viral Veo 3 videos and monetize them.

June 13, 2025

Welcome back to your weekly AI knowledge bomb!

If your feed has suddenly become a mashup of stormtroopers doing interviews, babies hosting podcasts, and Yetis doing ASMR… you’re not alone.

That’s AI video. And it’s blowing up.

These AI-generated videos are dominating the Tiktok, YouTube and Instagram, and people who are jumping in now are going viral left and right.

Let’s break down:

What’s actually going on
How to make viral AI videos with Veo 3
How to use it without paying $250/mo
How to prompt it like a pro
And most importantly… how to make money from it

The AI Video Boom Is Real

Veo 3 is Google’s new text-to-video model — and it’s a beast. You type what you want, and it spits out a cinematic video. Within seconds.

Some wild examples that are already viral:

ASMR Yeti Vloggers doing 28M+ views
Bible influencer shorts doing 10M+
Street interviews, historical POVs, stormtrooper confessionals — all filmed by AI

And the crazy part? Most of these accounts are under 1 month old.

This is the closest thing to a viral cheat code we’ve seen in years.

How to Use Veo 3 Without Paying $250/mo

Google charges $250/month to access Veo 3 through Google AI Ultra.

But don’t worry.. we have some MUCH cheaper workarounds for you (because who wants to pay that much).

Here’s how to get started for free or close to it:

Use Replicate or FAL.ai
Generate Veo 3 videos directly on these platforms.

Cost: ~$0.75 per second (with free credits on sign-up)

Krea or Freepik
Both now offer Veo 3 integrations via API.

Easy UI, great for beginners.

Flow
Lets you generate and natively upscale Veo 3 outputs to 1080p - perfect for social content.

How to Prompt Veo 3 Like a Pro

If you want your video to go viral, your prompt has to do the heavy lifting.

Here’s the formula:

1. Be descriptive.
Include:

Shot type (handheld, POV, cinematic, selfie-style)
Camera type (iPhone, film camera, drone)
Setting (urban street, snowy battlefield, jungle)
Character behavior (yelling, whispering, smirking)
Vibe (TikTok-style, moody, high-energy)

2. Use ChatGPT to write the prompt
Prompt ChatGPT like this:

“Write a hyper-realistic, cinematic text-to-video prompt of a knight riding a horse through a post-apocalyptic city at dusk, filmed on a drone with dramatic lighting. Include detailed movement and emotional tone.”

3. Keep continuity in mind
Ask ChatGPT to “describe the character in every scene as if it’s the first time” to avoid inconsistencies.

What Kind of Videos Are Blowing Up?

Right now, formats that are crushing on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts:

TikTok street interviews (but with AI people in surreal environments)
Character POVs (Julius Caesar vlogging in modern NYC, etc.)
Selfie-style monologues (Batman in the jungle, Stormtrooper podcasting)
Narrative skits (AI-created characters going through a storyline)

How to Monetize These Videos

You're not just going viral for the fun of it - there are real ways to make money from this:

UGC/brand deals
Brands are looking for AI creators who can produce wild, eye-catching content for their product drops. Show off what Veo can do — pitch a brand after.
Sell prompts + templates
Once you’ve figured out a viral formula (Yeti ASMR, fake interviews, etc.), package it and sell it on Gumroad or a Notion site. People are buying.
Grow fast, monetize later
If you're getting 10M+ views on fresh accounts, you can flip those for shoutouts, affiliate deals, or funnel to a newsletter/course.
Tiktok creativity program and/or YouTube creator program
As many of you know, once you reach the platforms minimum metrics, Youtube and TikTok pay you for every view you generate. With how easy it is to go viral at the moment, you can easily get accepted and start earning in 1-2 weeks of grinding.

Final Thoughts

We’re at the very start of the AI video wave.

Veo 3 is insanely powerful, but it’s not just about tech - it’s about storytelling, execution, and distribution. The people who can combine those three are going to win.

And if you’re reading this…. it might as well be you.

If you make something dope with Veo, send it my way. Always down to feature cool stuff in the next edition.

Until then…. keep building, keep experimenting. 🚀
