I built and scaled an app to five random months of revenue only using AI-generated social media content and in this video I’m going to do a complete end to end guide on how exactly I do that entire process to market my apps I’ll show you all the sauce all the models the exact workflow that we use I’m truly going to do a tell all the video here so hopefully this is the only video you’re going to need to figure out how to make AI-generated social media marketing content that actually get a lot of use to market your app on social media but before we do that you already know I got to show you the proof that I’m not lying to you so let’s get into that. So first thing first this is the tool that I marketed with AI-generated social media marketing content it is called your be and it is an AI content script writer It’s essentially a tool that lets people go through and search through a viral content database and then they can then remix and write scripts better with AI are very opinionated AI to help you write better scripts optimize your videos to get a lot of views on the internet and we also have a feature that lets you spy on different accounts so like let’s say you want to spy on competitors and get alert whenever one of their videos are going viral and doing well And this is your account that we use to market the app it’s grown to over 7,000 followers and every single piece of content posted on this page is AI This person is not real does not exist and will show you what the videos are like this is what 99.99% of the content on this page is is what we call a hook and demo format essentially we have an AI-generated person here The sum type of juicy hook in the beginning right here then we put a demo of the product showcase it in action to kind of sell the user on that product and last one of these last most important piece of proof Let’s go to the revenue so right now you can see that our total gross volume of the last four weeks over 7,000 dollars and our MRR is currently hovering around mid 6,000 but I’ll be honest right now We’re no longer exclusively doing AI-UGC but that’s still a huge chunk of our marketing budget But pretty much up until like the five-random month mark we were exclusively doing only AI-UGC AI social media content and now let us get into the actual sauce The actual guide of how to do this all so if the first step of any type of social media marketing it doesn’t matter whether it’s AI or human or anything You need to warm up your accounts These are multi-trillion dollar companies that have huge teams dedicated to security and fraud and bought detection and spam detection and your goal right now Whenever you make a new account you just need to prove to the platforms that you’re a real person You’re not a bot you’re not a spammer and the best way to do that is by warming up your account And what does that really mean that really means just scrolling and on the account and using it like a normal person because you are a real person You’re not a bot scroll watching videos like comment share all that good stuff just prove to them that you’re a normal person We typically at least internally myself and my co-founder We typically warm up our accounts for maybe three four or five days until we start beginning to post content But it’s an imperfect science. We know some people that do really well without any type of warm-up We know other people that do well only when they do warm-up doesn’t matter just for us I think for like our little tin foil hat conspiracy theory We feel a little bit better and more confident when we do do some account warm-up ourselves So then after you do the warm-up now it’s time to actually go off and start making your AI-generated social media marketing content And before I show you the actual and end-to-end workflow of how we make our content Let me just give you some tips on what type of content does well with AI-generated content in our opinion Videos where the person is not talking are the ones where AI can really excel I at least right now at the time of filming which is in May of 2026 AI and talking videos Like they’re a little bit easier to does to tell whether that thing is AI or not and at least right now There’s a visceral anti-AI sentiment on the internet people are hate watching AI-generated content But interestingly, I think people are okay with watching AI-generated content when it’s so clearly AI I mean right now at the time of filming there the current trending account and account where fruit are talking to each other in like a sitcom parody show And that is 100% purely AI-generated but people still watch it because they’re in they know 1 billion percent This person is not trying to lie to them and fool them that it’s not AI when it clearly is they just own up to it It seems like right now most people hate that AI where it’s so clear that it’s fake and they’re trying to come off as real Which is kind of what we’re doing, but we can do it in a much better way because once again We did make a talking head video here, which I’ll play it back for you right now It’s not bad, but definitely it’s not as good as these videos where it’s legitimately almost impossible to tell that this is AI-generated right? Just because they’re not talking and I think it’s a talking portion that is really tough to pull off with AI at least right now I think in due time we’ll get there, but right now That’s that’s kind of the downfall with AI-generated content. This is a format We like to call the hook and demo format where we hook it hook the user with something juicy text hook in the beginning Then we plug in a demo of whatever product or app that you are building to solve whatever problem that the hook poses And just for some other proof this is another separate account that I’m running for actually someone that wanted to pay us to run AI Social media marketing for them or running it for them and we made the same types of videos Hook and demo videos and you can see that they are gaining a pretty good amount of views 6k views 16k views and here are some other Like content that we just flagged and say that some good content inspiration of content that has no talking involved that can probably be Recreated with AI in an effective way like this right here This is literally a still photo. There’s no video. It’s a still photo with text on the screen This is kind of what we call text on the screen content. I’d a little bit less converting because it’s harder to plug a product inside of it But this is so simple and it has gone a ton of views like look it has gone I guess you don’t even know but 167,000 likes probably multiple millions of views another one It’s just a simple photo with some text over live on top of it. This one isn’t actual video I believe it’s just not playing right now, but it’s a video I’ve just a dude laying in the rain with text over late on top of it So this is basically another really good format that you can probably recreate with AI so in general AI generated content our personal strategy is I just don’t think that talking content is quite there yet. It’s only really really worked right now when it’s like no talking involved just the image just a video with some type of text on the screen So now let me show you exactly how we generate content ourselves So now that we went over how to warm up your account setting it all up and talked about some of the formats that AI really excels at Now I’m gonna kind of walk you through the actual sauce all the models the entire workflow of how we actually make high Performing AI generated solution media content to market our tools on the internet So we’re gonna walk you through the exact tool that we use which we actually are offering as a product that people do want to use You can find it as socialq.ai on food link right here as well as a link in the description of this video So we do sell this as a product as a tool as well as a little bit of consulting service with our social media marketing team myself and my co-founder to help you you know really do well and get expert advice on how to make a good content to market your app But you literally do not have to use our tool because you can just vibe code this entire tool yourself if you really want to because we’re gonna show you step by step All the sauce all the models everything that we do to make this type of content yourself All right, so first off for us we create a brand new run So our approach to making AI social media marketing content is rather than trying to create a brand new video from scratch Our whole idea is remix content that already works Sign existing videos on the internet hook and demo videos text on screen videos on the internet that has gotten a lot of views and then We’ll just remix it ourselves so for example. We can use this post as an example I need someone to explain why I’m finding this after three years of making content So this is an example post of a post that’s done really well that we can then just copy and use ourselves But actually within our tool socialq. We actually have a viral content database feature Where we’re literally sourcing all of this content ourselves and the help of our team to find other really high-performing viral marketing content That follows it’s hook and demo format right now So you can see right here. I just type show me viral hook and demo videos and you can see it shows it right here here Our a ton of videos about the hook and demo videos just endless endless endless amounts as well I dedicated accounts that do hook and demo really well as well. You get the gist So yes, this is an advantage of using socialq. We find all these high-performing hook and demo videos for you But for yourself once again, just find something that works So we’ll just use this video as an example, right? So the way that we work within our tool socialq you come in you enter in a URL and then when you enter in the URL We scrape it and then we source all the information here So now that we have this URL right let’s add our source video. We’re gonna paste that URL and we’re gonna begin scraping it and analyzing it So we downloaded run a whole bunch of analysis on it extract the hook from it and then we return the entire hook clip right here as a reference And this is a hook text. I need someone to explain while I’m finding this after three years
