Common Questions
Do I need any special skills or equipment?
No. You only need a phone or computer. Everything is done with free tools (CapCut, ElevenLabs free tier, ChatGPT).
How do you avoid copyright strikes from Reddit stories?
Always rewrite the stories in your own words using AI (ChatGPT/Claude) before turning them into videos. This makes the content original and much safer.
How much can a beginner realistically earn?
You can make $200–$1,200 within the first few months. With consistent posting (3–10 videos/day), you can reach $1,000–$3,000 per month by month 3–6.
