This Simple AI Setup Makes Me $8K Every Month

There are 44 million people in the United States who speak Spanish at home. That's 1 out of every 7 people. And I want you to think about the last plumber, dentist, roofer, or gym in your town that had a Spanish version of their ad or of their YouTube channel or the little video on their website. I'll wait. Yeah, nobody. Nobody has a Spanish version even though 1 in 7 people speak Spanish at home. And you can fix that for them for a fee in about 20 minutes and charge $300 per video to do it. And I know this because I've been dubbing my own channel into 13 languages and it took me forever to figure out how to make the mouth match the audio. Today it's just going to be a leaderboard and one upload. I'm going to show you how to do this so you can make money at it. I'm going to build this business for you right here on camera. And by the end of this video, you're going to have the exact prompt that I use. It's in a free doc in the description. You're going to have the 5 types of customers to pitch to first. And the exact text message that I send a business owner to get the first yes. And at the end, I'm going to send that text to a real business owner here in my town and show you what they say back. No audience plants. And if they say no, you'll see the no. It might be a little embarrassing, but whatever. Okay, so the business we're talking about here is Spanish video dubbing for local businesses and creators. What is dubbing? It's adding a foreign language to a video in your native language, and the mouth will actually match. It's magical and only possible with AI.

Singapore has always been a meeting point, not just a destination. 这些瓷器和香料记录的是一条从海上长出来的生活方式。 Disalat Malacca, kapal rempah dan bahasa bertemu perdagangan menghubungkan banyak budaya. Tabi no shinamono wa basho utsus tabini atarashi imi o mochimasu.

I'm going to use a website called OpenArt to do this, and specifically. This is a thing called OpenArt Arena, which is a leaderboard that tells you which AI model is the very best at any specific job. What I'm showing you here is which AI model is the best at lip syncing, not on The Tonight Show, but syncing the language with the lips on the video. Okay. OpenArt is a partner of the show and I use it in my own business. Links below. Okay, let's go. But before I touch anything, here's why this is even a business and why no one's doing it. So dubbing's been around forever. The problem wasn't the translation, it's the mouth. When the lips don't match the words, it looks like a kung fu movie from 1978, and no business owner wants that on their website. So for years, the only option was to hire a Spanish-speaking actor, reshoot the entire video, and pay for a second edit. But nobody's going to do that for a $2,000 a month roofing ad, so they just skip a whole seventh of their market. And here's how the math breaks down. You charge $300 a video, a business posts 2 videos a month, so that's like $500 or $600 a month per client. Get 10 clients and you're at $6,000 a month for something that takes you an afternoon. And the reason that they pay you is that they can't do the mouth syncing part themselves. They've tried or they don't even know that it's possible. If they did try, it probably looked terrible, but you're going to show up with a version that looks real and that is the whole Sale here.

I'm trying shade eleven today. Let's see how it looks up close on the lips. Aujourd'hui, je teste la teinte onze. So, what? Juu ichiban wo tamehishimi. Hoy voy a probar el tono once. Onaren shibiro colorer phala burkeo. Aj me gyeran number shade lagakar dek rahi hu.

Okay, here are the five types of customers to pitch first. Number one, home services: roofers, plumbers, HVAC, landscaping. They're already running video ads in Spanish. They're already serving Spanish-speaking. Homeowners and their competitors have zero Spanish content. Okay, number 2, dentists and med spas, like the white lab coat type stuff. It's high ticket, there's tons of video on their sites, and a huge Spanish-speaking patient base in most of the country. And number 3, real estate agents. There's over 2 million of these guys. They post a walkthrough video every single week, one video 2 languages, twice the leads. And number 4, YouTubers with over 100,000 subscribers like me. There's a lot more of them out there than you might believe, but this is a whole different pitch entirely. You're going to sell them whole new countries, new languages, because YouTube lets you upload extra audio tracks. So one dubbed track can open up Mexico, Spain, Colombia, Costa Rica on a video that they've already put time and money into. And number 5, this is the one I'm going to build for you today. It's the guy at the farmer's market, food trucks, farmer's market vendors, taqueras, small restaurants, because I already have— lazily, I, I already have a farmer's market video that I shot. I don't want to shoot another video. And because those owners are the easiest people in the world to text. That's a very important part of this. Okay, but before I start building, I want to cover one thing. You're going to hear me say the word leaderboard a bunch, and here's all what I mean by that. There's like a dozen AI video models right now, and seemingly a new one every week that says that it solved lip sync. Okay, I don't have time to test them all, and neither do you. So OpenArt has this thing called Arena where a panel of people, experts, look at 2 outputs side by side with their names hidden. It's like a blind test, and they pick the better one. Thousands and thousands of times. It's a taste test with the labels ripped off. Then they're ranking the models by job. There's a leaderboard for ads, for animation, and yes, one for lip sync, which is the one we care about today. Don't overthink it. Look at the board, the leaderboard, run with the top model.

Go.

Okay, here's the lip sync leaderboard. The top model is Seedance 2.5. Don't even know what that is. Okay, so we're going to click on that. It opens up this page and we're going to generate a video with this model. Okay, and here's the video I'm going to upload. Looks like this. That makes thousands of dollars a day. Okay, it's just me, talking head. It's in my Google Photos right now. I'm going to download it. Boom. Okay, so I'm logged into OpenArt. I have SeedDance 2.5 because remember that was number 1 on the lip sync leaderboard. I'm going to upload that video that I just showed you. Okay, it's uploading. This is how simple my prompt is. Take the audio from this video and translate and dub it into Spanish. Keep my voice, keep the pacing, and match the lip movement to the Spanish audio. That's it. That's the whole prompt. Don't overthink it. Boom. Generate. Okay, so while this is cooking, here's what I want you to hear. If you don't want to sell this to anyone, it's okay. You can still use it for your own stuff. I've been dubbing my channel, this channel, into 13 different languages for a while now, and it makes me more money because I can sell ads in those other countries. It took me a Ton of work to build that pipeline, but this is the exact shortcut I wish that I had. So if you have a channel, videos, family videos, whatever, podcast course, anything with your face on it, this is free money you're leaving in a language that you don't speak. Okay, here it is. Here's what we got. Hace un año publiqué un video sobre este vendedor de fresas cubiertas de chocolate que gana miles de dólares al día. That's wild. My lips are speaking Spanish. This is literally the first time in my life I've ever seen this. I've ever seen the different dub match the lips. Un video sobre esto. Wild. Okay, took about a minute or two. Okay, we're gonna go back to the lip sync leaderboard. We're gonna go to one of these lower ranked models, MiniMax H3. We're gonna try the same prompt with the same clip to see how they look. I just want you guys to see I'm not like cherry picking the perfect clip with the perfect model. I'm actually quite curious to see what comes out here. Okay, right here, Mini Max H3. There it is, Mini Max H3, and we've got the exact same video. Okay, different model, exact same prompt. We're gonna generate it, and we wait. All right, different model. Let's see what we got. Hace aproximadamente un año, mi vecino de la calle de enfrente abrió un chocolatería y gana miles de dólares al día. Hace aproximadamente un año, mi vecino de la calle de enfrente. Okay, so I don't. I took four years of Spanish in high school. It's been a good twenty-something years since then. But that looks like a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Hace aproximadamente una hora y un filo. That doesn't, yeah, it's not as good. Maybe it's just confirmation bias. I don't think it's as good. Anyway, moving on. And it took about 600 seconds, so 10 minutes to generate. So much slower. And it costs more in credits even. Anyway, that's the whole point of the leaderboard. It told me that before I burned a single token. So if I'd started here, I'd have spent an hour convincing myself LipSync just isn't ready yet. for primetime and I would've been wrong. All right, this is the output differences as well. Okay, now it's time for where the real money is made. I'm gonna take an actual video that could be an ad for a farmer's market business and do the same thing, do the dubbed lip sync as if I were getting paid to make this ad for a farmer's market business, okay? And I took this video myself with my Meta Glasses when I was at a farmer's market in Utah talking to some dudes, BYU students that made candles, so. So we're going to go to upload video, upload video right there. This is kind of a bigger video. It's 5 minutes long, 120 megabytes. But the simple thing is I'm going to leave the prompt the exact same. Take the audio from this video and translate and dub it into Spanish. Keep my voice, keep the pacing, and match the lip movement to the Spanish audio. Then of course, I realized that SeaDance 2.5 is the better model as it suggested. So I'm gonna pick that. Okay. We don't want it to be 5 minutes long because no ad is 5 minutes long. So we're gonna trim it down to 30 seconds and see what comes out.

$10.

Yeah.

Oh yeah.

What does an average market look like for you? Kind of the same. This is actually also, this is like my third and it's usually like around the same amount. We do like between 15 and 20 sales. Okay. All right. So I'm gonna use this clip because he's talking about his business and how markets typically go for him and how many sales he does. But I like it because you can see him talking, you can see the logo in The video, you can see his mouth moving because what's the point of this cool lip sync technology if you can't even see that these lips are synced to the Spanish? It's not like overtly selling his product; it's kind of talking around his product, so it's not too obvious. So I think this thirty-second segment would perform better than the average. I'm gonna hit confirm here. Okay, it's generating. Let's see what comes out. All right, here we go. Let's check. Es más o menos lo mismo. En realidad, esta es mi tercera vez y normalmente vendemos entre quince y veinte unidades. Freaking awesome. Love it, love it, love it. This is the real thing. Now pricing is everything, okay? You really want to play around with the pricing of these videos until you find equilibrium, AKA what people are willing to pay. From the outset, you have no testimonials, you have no reviews, no case studies, no credibility, nothing. So it's even worth it to do these for free just to get a testimonial. But after that, I think low to mid-hundreds per video, or even charge by the minute or by the second because some videos might be long and you wanna charge extra for those. Okay, now I'm going to record my iPhone screen and show you my DM to some farmer's market vendors here in my area in North Texas, and let's see if we can get a response. All right, I'm gonna say this. I was at the farmer's market and loved it. I made a Spanish version of one of your videos for free, no catch. Want me to send it over? If it brings in customers, I can do 2 a month for $500. And now we wait. And the magic of this DM is the word free. No one's gonna say no to a free thing that's already made. Keep in mind, I'm not trying to hedge already. I don't know how this is going to play out. I'm only sending one DM. Okay. The response rate on a DM could be in the single digits, maybe low double digits. So statistics are not in my favor, but you got to shoot your shot regardless. Okay. So obviously here is my YouTube channel and I want to show you how this works on YouTube anyway. You click settings on any YouTube video you're watching as a viewer and you go to audio track, right? So when I go to Arabic on this video, watch our lips and listen to what you hear. سي ولي لجراء الأعلى كيف ستسير الأمور حينها في الثالثة والعشرين فعلاً؟ لماذا اخترت الغسلات والمجففات؟ عم، من ذاك كان عمري 21 عاماً تقريباً صاير كنت. You can clearly see that the lips do not match, right? So if they did, these would perform even better. But I want to show you, I want to show receipts here of what this means to someone that publishes videos when you publish them in other languages. So. I'm going to go to this breakdown right here and look up audio track, and we're going to go last 365 days. And you can see exactly when I started dubbing. Look at that, right around there. That's Russian, Spanish. I did this late April 2026. Turkish. These are all views that I would not have received otherwise. And I make about— on my foreign views, I make like $8 per 1,000 views. So I'm getting over a million views per month. So That's $8,000 extra a month that I would not have gotten otherwise. So this works. It works because I built a custom app for myself using duct tape, but OpenArt will do this with just a couple clicks, and your token costs will be a tiny, tiny percentage of what you're able to charge for these. 10 clients, $500 a month each is $5,000 a month. Pick a niche, something you are familiar with. If you delivered pizzas, do this for pizza shops. If you were a server in a restaurant, Do it for restaurants. Worked in an oil change place? You get the idea. You don't need a college degree. You don't need a bunch of experience, but preferably you work in an industry that either you have experience with or you like or you have some knowledge in. Doing this on OpenArt is an insane asymmetric bet, right? The potential reward is much, much greater than the potential risk of a few tokens. Obviously, OpenArt supports this channel. I support and use them. It is a great tool. I've got a free doc in the description with the prompts, all of these instructions, the models you want to use. Go send a text to someone, go send a DM, shoot your shot over and over and over again. Sadly, maybe not a surprise to most of you, I did not get a response to that DM, so I got to send more DMs. I'm not going to fake anything. If you don't want to put in a bunch of work just to tell them that you already made a video for them, then tell them that you will make a video for them, or send them the actual video proactively if they don't respond to you first. In fact, I think I'm going to try that now. One DM does not a business make. Maybe 1,000? 100? Cold text, LinkedIn messages. Guys, I have so many videos on cold outreach. You have so many tools in your tool belt right now. Thanks for hanging out on the Koerner Office.
