There's a new type of video taking over
Instagram, Tik Tok, and YouTube Shorts.
This page has gained over 1.3 million
followers in just a few months. When you
watch these videos, they feel like
they're speaking directly to your
subconscious. Fast-paced, visually
addictive, driven by dark psychology,
but backed by real science. And the
craziest part of all of this is that
they're using AI for around 70% of the
work. Now, whether you're a faceless
creator, theme page, personal brand, or
a business, if you're able to master
this formula, it could change everything
for you. Here is the full process step
by step. Don't sleep on this. Now, for
this video, we're going to be diving
into the psychology niche, and the page
we're looking at is the Zolon page,
which has grown over 1.3 million
followers in a few months. There are
also other niches or topics for your
page and videos that also work really
well in this style that we're kind of
looking at today. We've got philosophy,
masculinity, wealth, psychology, body
language, relationships, hidden history,
subconscious mind, and dark
storytelling. And these are just some of
them. There's probably tons more. Okay,
so it's time to make a script that works
super well. And you can essentially do
this with any niche and any topic for
any account, but this is going to be
specific for this. And let's break it
down. So the first thing you want to do
is finding real information. We don't
want to make up stories and lie about
psychology and stuff like that. You want
to actually have verified information.
So if you go to
scholar.google.com, you'll access
Google's academic search engine.
Essentially what it does is it pulls
research papers and studies from
verified sources like universities,
scientific journals and professionals.
So in this case, you know, we want to
search something like dark psychology,
um, cheating. And here are all the
articles. And let's say we're going to
open this fourth one, but it wasn't
really cheating. So this is kind of gold
mine for viral scripts. Now we're going
to copy all of this information into
chat GBT. create a new project under
instructions. Use this prompt so that
chat will only provide you information
from the verified article rather than,
you know, grabbing it from elsewhere.
Now, all of the prompts and a bunch of
stuff that I use will be in the
description of this video, but I
recommend going to get that at the end
of this video so that you understand
everything that's in there and so that
you can actually apply it to your videos
and to your accounts. So, let's move on
to the next part. So now that we have
our information, we need to add some
more context. And for this, we need to
basically tell chat GBD, okay, this is
kind of the information that I'm giving
you. But now, we need to actually turn
this into some viral scripts. And for
this, we're going to download, in this
case, Ziums. We're going to download the
scripts for their three best performing
videos. Okay? And that's simple. You
know, you go on Instagram, grab the
links, but we're going to use this free
AI tool called Riverside FM. Now, these
are always changing. Riverside FM works
really well right now. Download the
script and then we can head over to chat
GBT and basically add that information
or those transcripts to our project.
Now, it's time to give the GBT the
prompts for the script, which will also
be in the description of this video. But
it looks something like this. Now we
have essentially a high potential viral
script with legit information from
verified professionals. Okay. And now
this step is done. It's time to bring
this to life. Now this next section is
super important because one of the most
important aspects of Zion is their voice
without a doubt. So let's move over to
start. Okay. So the next part is the
voice over. Now this is super important.
As I mentioned, this can literally make
or break your video. So, for our voice
over, we're going to be using an AI tool called
called
Hume.AI. Now, what makes this tool
different to many of the other ones out
there? Hume can actually understand and
act the emotion behind your script.
Okay? and it sounds far more human,
which really matters when you're trying
to stand out, be unique, and when you're
going to topics like, you know, the
topic that we're kind of going for in
this video, it's super important for us
to have a non kind of robotic voice. You
know, if people suddenly watch a video
and think, "Oh, that's just AI." You
know, it's not going to work well for
you. So, this is Hume AI's landing page.
Let me show you how to get started and
how to use it. So go to app and now you
can create a free account like on every
other platform. You can either sign up
manually with your email and password or
just sign up with your Gmail. Now let's
skip all of this part. Now as soon as we
log in we have our account. By the way,
it does give you 10,000 free characters
every single month and the link will be
in the description of this video. So
Hume is great. Definitely get exploring
once you've watched this video. Now, as
soon as we log in, we can either explore
the voice library or create our own
voice. On the voice library, we have
loads and loads of free voice actors
suitable for our needs. Today, we're not
going to be creating our own voice or
doing anything too complicated because
we want to kind of make this as simple
as possible. So, here's how we're going
to be generating the voice. Paste the
script chatbt gave us here. You can look
for more voices here as well. If you
click on change, I ended up choosing a
deep voice. Now, for this niche, I think
that kind of suits it. If I spend more
time exploring, I know some of you are
going to find some really, really good
voices and really match kind of the
scripts that you're creating. But
basically, I think it matches kind of
this video, the one I've picked. Now, on
the bottom right, I'm going to click
generate. And here we go. Beautiful.
Download the file and voice over. Done.
This video is sponsored by Hume.ai. And
now it's time to bring this all together
and start to create our video. Now, in
terms of your audio or like your
background music, you've got numerous
options for this. You have some in-built
ones on Cap Cart. You can grab some from
Instagram. Just pick something that
matches the tone of your script and
video. It's that time. It's time to edit
and put the video together. Remember all
that work we've done so far in terms
setting up our Chat GBT? Well, this is
going to come in super useful for us
right now. Trust me. Let's open up Cap
Cut, create a new project, and name it.
And now, we're about to upload the voice
over. And we're going to choose the
music enhancement filter, which is on
Cap Cut, which makes it sound a bit
better. Turn it up slightly. Now, the
hardest part with a lot of these videos
is finding the clips. So, how are we
going to do that? Well, this is what I
meant when Chad GBT is about to come
into play. I still really think that
Pinterest is one of the best places to
get B-roll, video clips, whatever you
need for your editing. But a lot of the
time, what the struggle is is, you know,
what am I going to type in on Pinterest?
You know, how am I going to make this
work? Well, here's the final prompt. So
after we've taken into consideration
where the cuts happen in the Zolon
videos and what kind of footage they
have, we can craft a final prompt which
looks something like this. So
essentially what IGBT will do now with
this prompt is analyze the script and
then start to give me key words for
certain parts that I can just type on
Pinterest. Over the last 6 months, we've
gained over 3 million followers on my
school community. If you're interested
in building a social media business in
the faceless world, be sure to check the
link in my description. Okay, so I'm
going to go dark surreal character art.
Now, always make sure in the settings
section on Pinterest, you filter it to
video as video is what we want.
Although, if you don't want videos and
you're using images, which also work
great right now, just leave it how it
is. But I'm going to press video. And
you can see immediately there is a bunch
of different stuff that comes up that
honestly I would have never found if CHP
didn't give me the right keyword. So you
can see that this has opened up a whole
different world of clips. I don't know
who is making this but thank you. And of
course when you can definitely credit
people it's the best thing to do most
ethical as well. You can use a Pinterest
downloader. There is tons available on
Google. I'm using this one right now.
And essentially what you want to do is
start to kind of flow into this process
and you can upload them on Capcot. Now
for the intro for this style of video,
sound effects make a big big difference.
So I'm going to use the scary intense
riser which you can hear and it just
adds that kind of dramatic, you know,
capturing someone's attention right at
the beginning of the video. There's more
than just text hooks. There's more than
just visual hooks. There are also audio
hooks. So once you start to kind of
incorporate layering your hooks, that's
how these videos do. Well, now let's
create a filter. I'm not going to sit
here and be like, you need to turn this
down 30% minus 12 blah blah blah blah.
Again, it will be in the description of
the video. But essentially, when you're
creating your filter, it is another
angle that makes your page unique. So
don't be afraid to try different things.
And this is essentially just an
adjustment layer. You play around with
it and you make those changes. The one
I've used will be available again as I
said in the description. You can use
that and play around with it or create
your own. But for example, if you look
at pages like Zultium, even influencers,
businesses, etc., a lot of the time they
do have certain filters that they use
over and over again. And it just is
another tool in their box to make them
stand out. Now, the next thing is the
vignette. And we're going to essentially
add three of these to our video for the
dark look. Again, you want to play
around with this, but I do think for
this style of video and a lot of the
niches I mentioned at the beginning, it
works super well. Now, the next thing is
the captions. Captions are super
important as you know, again, that adds
context to the video. One of the reasons
I like Cap Cut is because of the auto
captions feature. I know it's paid, but
that if there was anything that I would
pay for, it's probably that feature
because it's just makes life so much
easier. There are potentially other
tools out there which are free which you
can use. If anyone has any suggestions,
let us know in the comments section.
Help some people out, but you know,
we're using Cap Cut. Now, I'm going to
go and pick the Thrive font, which I
think suits the video. You can copy my
text shadow settings right here. Now,
you can edit this however you want, you
know, line by line, manually. You can go
on to captions, fixing them manually,
whatever you want to do. Now I wanted to
add a small effect to my captions. So I
went on to animations and I choose the
fade in. I'll turn this down to 0.2
seconds. And this is how they look now.
Now essentially this next process is
just literally rinse and repeat. You
know, now we have chat GPT as our
essential kind of co-pilot telling us
what clips to find, how to make our life
easier and so forth. And it makes things
so much so much easier when we're
leveraging AI the right way. Now, if you
think that, you know, you're suddenly
going to go to an AI tool and be like,
"Please make me a video and get me 20
million views, I'm sorry to burst your
bubble, but that's not real life." There
is no AI tools that is going to do
everything for you and you're just going
to sit back and do nothing. You really
need to understand that AI when used
well is about improving your workflow.
In this case today, we've used it to
create our script to enhance our video
editing and you could even use it to
create thumbnails etc. And that has
saved us so much time by leveraging AI
even in the creative process by us
utilizing it correctly here. It gave me
keywords that I would have never typed
ever. You know, dark surreal character.
I don't think I would have typed that.
Here's how the video looks. They didn't
accidentally cheat on you. Cheating
isn't clumsiness, it's strategy. Here's
the truth no one wants to admit. The
moment they started fantasizing about
someone else, the betrayal had already
begun. But not all cheaters are the
same. Although I won't upload all of it
as the video is probably a bit long and
if you want to see it again, I'll put it
in my vault. Should I turn this into a
series where I create these tutorials on
different videos that are trending, that
are performing well? If so, let me know
in the comments. And if you have any
suggestions in terms of videos or ideas,
also let me know. If you're serious
about building your social media, then
check out the playlists on my channel.
They are full of the information that
you need to succeed. I haven't been
posting for a while, but I'm back and I
have multiple videos in production. So,
get ready for the next one. Make sure
you drop a like and a comment so that I
know you like this style of video. Until
