The AI Opportunity 98% Will Miss
45sThe opening hook promises a hidden opportunity and exclusivity, which triggers curiosity and FOMO in viewers.
▶ Play Clip"Title promises a 'new AI opportunity' but delivers a generic tutorial with heavy promotion of Manus; some value but padded with hype."
The video presents a method for creating audio drama series using AI tools, specifically Manus and Eleven Labs, to build a binge-worthy content platform. The creator, Monique, demonstrates how to generate story ideas, scripts, and audio, then monetize the content through memberships and ads, aiming to capitalize on the growing market for bite-size soap operas.
The video introduces the concept of the 'binge loop'—a cycle of hook, cliffhanger, and repeat—used by platforms like Netflix to keep viewers engaged. This behavior is applied to short drama clips on social media, which have become a $1.3 billion business in the US.
Manus is described as an AI that 'clocks into work' and performs tasks autonomously, unlike other AIs that only help with thinking. It can research trends, generate story ideas, and even build websites.
Using Manus, the creator asks it to research trends on platforms like Drama Box and ReelShort, resulting in a list of 10 high-engaging drama titles, such as 'His Brother's Forbidden Bride' and 'Married to a Secret Billionaire'.
The creator prompts Manus to outline a 10-episode series titled 'His Billion-Dollar Betrayal', with each episode about 2 minutes long, including hooks and cliffhangers to keep the audience coming back.
Manus writes the first episode script with a single female narrator, dramatic tone, and a shocking truth revealed in the first 20 seconds. The target audience is 18-35, and the story is slightly far-fetched but believable.
Manus can convert the script into audio using a female voice. However, the creator finds the emotion lacking and recommends using Eleven Labs for more expressive voice generation.
The creator uses Manus to build a premium website similar to ReelShort, with featured dramas, trending sections, and clickable cover images. The site includes episode listings and uses AI-generated cover art.
The main monetization is through paid memberships, but the creator advises starting with free content to build buzz. Once traffic grows, lock episodes behind a paywall. Alternatively, Google AdSense can generate income from ads.
The site is published with one click. The creator encourages viewers to take action and start building, offering a link for 1000 free credits to test Manus.
The video provides a step-by-step guide to creating and monetizing AI-generated audio drama series, emphasizing the importance of building an owned platform rather than relying on ad revenue alone. It encourages viewers to seize the opportunity before the market becomes saturated.

10:23[00:02] Because if you are watching this right now, you are early. And in the next 6 months, this could put you ahead of 98% of people. And no, this is not just hype. This is a brand new AI opportunity that's already paying. And nobody is
[00:17] positioned for this, nor is anyone teaching it. So, if you know me at all, you know Monique is about to show you exactly what this is and how regular people like you and me can start doing it before the crowd shows up. And
[00:29] because I respect your time, I am not going to drag this out. So, let's go. So, today I want to introduce you to what I call the binge loop. And whether been inside of it. I need you to think about Netflix for a second. And I'm not
[00:43] talking about the shows, but the behavior. They hook you emotionally end on a cliffhanger and then make the next episode effortless to consume. So, that exact cycle, the hook cliffhanger repeat, is the binge loop. Now, before
[00:56] you to go out here and try to build Netflix and become a millionaire by tomorrow. But let me show you what we are building. If you have been on social media at all, I know you have come across one of these short drama clips.
[01:10] And you know exactly what I'm talking about. Drama Box, Real Short, all of them. You get one episode pop up, you click on it and watch it, and then next thing you know you're trying to figure out what Dan did to Sally, even though
[01:22] it makes absolutely no sense. And if you think this only works for video, that is the power of the binge loop at work again. It is doing the exact same thing, except this time is with audio. According to Business Insider, these
[01:36] bite-size soap operas have turned into a $1.3 billion business in the US alone. So, guess what we are going to do today. We are going to focus on creating the audio. And if we being real, this is cheaper to produce, faster to scale, and
[01:50] this is the most slept on side of this market. But we about to wake it up. We way, and honestly, the only way that makes sense using only one AI tool. I need you to meet my good friend Manas. And the easiest way for me to describe
[02:05] And the easiest way for me to describe it is other AIs, they help you to think, but Manas clocks into work and it does the task for you. And even after saying to get you to understand how powerful this is is just to show you. So, if you
[02:20] want to do this along with me, you can click on the link in my description and step inside the world of Manas. So, the first thing that we are going to need on our list is the right story because this is going to be the part that pulls
[02:32] people into the loop. So, to get the best, this is what I am going to type into Manas and I will put this prompt down in the description so that you can copy it. But, I'm asking it to create a site similar to Drama Box and ReelShort
[02:44] to research the trends and provide a list of 10 high-engaging drama titles. And now, watch this. We are able to see its computer screen and we can literally see it opening up the websites, analyzing their trend series. It scans
[03:00] for popular themes, then it reports back to us all of its findings. And this is what I mean by AI clocking in because it is giving us an executive summary because why? We are CEOs. And these are some of the titles that it is giving me.
[03:13] His Brother's Forbidden Bride, Married to a Secret Billionaire, Reborn from My Revenge. You cannot tell me this does not sound like some drama. So, now that going to need to do is structure it. Because the titles definitely will get
[03:28] you some clicks, but the structure will help people coming back for episode 2, 3, and 4. So, here is the prompt that I am going to use next. We are going to go with the title His Billion-Dollar Betrayal. And I'm asking it to outline
[03:42] it, make 10 episodes about 2 minutes. It has to have a hook and must include a cliffhanger. And again, it is working to build the bones for this series. And just like that it pretty much gave us a roadmap. So now we can see in the story
[03:57] where to keep the people hanging, but this is just the blueprint. The episode is going to be the product. So now we must ask Manes to write episode one. We
[04:09] want one narrator only. The point of view is female perspective. We need this to be dramatic. Make sure a shocking truth is revealed in the first 20 seconds because we know the very beginning of anything on social media is
[04:23] extremely important. And we want to make it slightly far-fetched and outrageous because you know those dramas are, but we want it to be believable enough to overcomplicate it and then the target audience is somewhere between 18 and 35.
[04:37] And it is going to take our instructions and it not only has written just a script, but it is the script that we need. Let me tell you something, when I read this thing I was actually trying to figure out how this woman was about to
[04:52] the only thing you will need to do is repeat this process for every episode beginner I'll say you can start with something like 10 episodes. You don't have to be out here creating 20, 30, 40 chapters and wear yourself out. But once
[05:08] you have done this part completely you will have a full drama series. So now the next important question I know that you have is okay Monique, now who is going to read these audio series to the people? I can definitely say it will not
[05:21] be me and it won't be you either. And this right here is where 98% of people miss the opportunity because they think that you need a studio or a voice actor or you have to record this yourself and you don't. That mindset is stuck
[05:35] somewhere in 2024. So good news is Manes is also able to generate the audio directly and all I am typing this time is to convert the script into audio and use a female voice. And just like that, here is what
[05:50] episode one will sound like. >> The man I loved just destroyed my family on live television. One minute, I'm on top of the world standing next to my billionaire fiance. The next, I'm watching my father's company, my entire
[06:02] life's work, flash across a giant screen with the words hostile takeover. Now, you know I always want to just lay it all out there. After listening to this, the audio that it created, it was not quite expressive enough for me. It did
[06:17] not add enough emotion. Now, I can say this is okay, but I'm a extra person and I need to feel what the people are saying. So, I did go ahead and ask Manas
[06:29] to make this more engaging and unfortunately, it let me know that it has limitations with adding more dramatic emotion to it. But, it did not leave us hanging. It recommended using another service with more advanced voice
[06:42] features. So, we are going to take it to place and we will head over to our other friend, Eleven Labs. So, you can create a free account with it, but just know that when you go with free, it's always limited. However, for what we are doing
[06:55] today, this should be more than enough. So, once you are inside, you will click on text-to-speech, paste in the script right here, and then you get to choose one of the voices that they have. And at this point, this is what it generated.
[07:09] >> I loved just destroyed my family on live television. One minute, I'm on top of the world standing next to my billionaire fiance, Damien Blackwood. The next, I'm watching my father's company, my entire life's work, flash
[07:21] across a giant screen with the words hostile takeover. So, we are almost done, y'all, but let me first stop you from making a mistake that will leave money on the table. Some people will take this and just throw it on YouTube
[07:35] and try to get AdSense, and yes, that is cute when it comes to this, but we need to stop trying to build for views and we need to build for ownership. The real money does not lie in people just watching your content, but where it is
[07:49] is in owning where the content lives. And this is where Manifold is going to change the game. I am going to get it to create a platform just like one of those that's making millions of dollars. And all I'm going to do is enter this prompt
[08:03] asking it to build a premium site similar to ReelShort, research what's working on the platform, and create a modern binge-worthy audio drama website with a featured drama and trending section. We also want it to have
[08:16] clickable cover images of the books on the homepage and a dedicated book page for each one. And again, it pulls out its computer, does some work for you, something that's about to change some lives out there and bank accounts. Look
[08:31] at the featured drama section. It created a trending section. It's hover to play, and then when you click on it, you can see the episodes, the cover art that it used Nano Banana for to create it that way, and all of the episodes are
[08:48] listed on the site. Now, it did take the audio that it created and added it here, but remember, we went over to our friend Eleven Labs for that. So, we are going to get it to replace the one it originally created by just saying to
[09:01] replace the audio for episode one with this new audio, then just drag and drop it into there. And just like that, it made the swap. And you'll notice it also added placeholders for you to add more drama series, which all you will
[09:14] have to do is just come back and complete this process inside of it, and you are wondering, the most important question that any of us have. How do I actually make money from this? And the honest truth about it is the biggest
[09:27] apps all make their money the same way, and that is with paid memberships. Now, would I start with paid memberships from day one? No, absolutely not, because You are not known, your site is not known. So, the most important thing
[09:43] right now is to just create some buzz around your site. You can create five to 10 books and let people binge it. Let people talk about it. Give the site a little room to breathe first. But when the traffic comes in, that's when you
[09:56] flip the switch. And this is where things really get crazy because again, I didn't have to figure this out for myself. I literally told Maness, "Can users listen to the first two episodes for free, but locks the rest of the
[10:10] episodes for members only?" And Maness said, "I got it." And it did let me know that it has to upgrade the project. And of course, you know I said, "Do whatever you have to do." But this is the psychological trigger that you will
[10:23] need. You will give them the momentum, then you're going to put a gate right at the cliffhanger. So, that means that episode one and two can be free, but right when they become emotionally invested, you lock it. And this is not
[10:35] because you are just being greedy, but this is how binge behavior works. And as created the entire membership system. So, now the site shows which episodes are free and which ones are locked. And when someone clicks unlock, they're
[10:50] prompted to subscribe. And Maness even priced it for us. The membership is set at $9.99 a month. Of course, you can always get it to adjust their price as well. But I need you to really understand what we just did. We built a
[11:03] binge-worthy content platform, recurring monthly revenue, and a real digital asset. Now, like I said, I wouldn't rush this part at first. Everybody's so eager to just like make money tomorrow. It's a process. It takes
[11:17] time to build into something great. But if you do want a zero-pressure way to start making money while you are growing before you start doing those paid memberships, then you can just add Google AdSense to your website. And that
[11:31] will allow you to have ads added to your site, and then you will get paid per every thousand views a set amount of money. And it's also free to sign up for Google AdSense. I'll put a link to it down in the description so that you can
[11:44] is something that's no cost to your audience, so it won't run them in the beginning. There is no subscription required. It's just traffic turning into income. So at this point, there is literally only one thing that's left to
[11:57] do, and that is to publish this masterpiece. And that's done with one simple click. And now it is live and ready. And this is really the part that most people never get to. Most people are just going to watch this video and
[12:11] then scroll past it and continue to be the consumer. But there is a very few amount of you that's going to realize that this is your moment. So if you are still watching this right now, you already know which one you are. So
[12:25] comment still here down below so that I can know which one you are, too. So you can stop waiting for permission and start building today. And if you want to actually try this for yourself, I did put the link down in the description
[12:37] that will get you a thousand free credits so that you can test Manifold out and see what it can build for you. Other than that, I thank you so much for watching, and until next time, go be great.
