Howdy Storytellers 🤠,
It’s Michael, back here with another edition of the Creatorwod Blog.
Today, we will be discussing the recent boom on social media of AI Bible Vlogging. That’s right. Vlogs created using AI featuring characters in the bible racking up millions of views on social media.
Here’s one as an example:
@biblevlogz If eve had an iPhone… #fyp #faith #god #gardenofeden #veo3
Don’t worry, I’m not suggesting everyone go run off and make AI Bible Vlogs to post on TikTok. Instead, we can use the same strategy, psychology, and technology these creators are using to go viral with our own stories.
A Story with 2 Billion Monthly Active Users
Each month, over 2 Billion people interact with the bible in one format or another. There’s attending church, bible study groups, reading the bible on one’s own, prayer apps, and dozens of more ways to be immersed into the story of the bible.
Now, there’s vlogs told from the perspective of characters in the bible – powered by AI.
By my estimates in the last month alone these vlogs have garnered hundreds of millions of views on social media (if not 1 billion+).
With just 9 videos @biblevlogz has nearly 100k followers on TikTok.
This account has racked up close to 1 million followers posting AI Bible Videos
And this account is the @bibleinblackvlogs which has over 10,000 followers and just 4 videos, all of which have performed extremely well
And viewers have loved the diverse representations of bible characters shown in many of the videos:
Wow. First many of the vlogs you see created are using a technology called Veo 3. Google’s release of Veo 3 is akin to the “ChatGPT” moment for film.
With it’s launch just weeks ago, entire new content formats and genres have been going viral on social media (including these Storm Trooper vlogs which racked up 300k followers in 7 days. I’m pretty sure this violates copyright, but it still shows massive viewer demand).
Now how can you take advantage of this as a storyteller WITHOUT violating copyright?
Whether it’s public domain IP (like fairy tales) or tropes in sci-fi, fantasy, and other genres, there are categories of content that hundreds of millions of people love that are extremely undersupplied OR not created at all.
Now is your chance to supply that demand. Next, I’ll show you how.
The Power of Social Native Storytelling
If you study these AI Bible Vlogs, you will notice a trend.
The hooks of the videos are remarkably similar to the language and trends that we see everyday going viral on social media.
Take this Storm Trooper vlog, framed around them enjoying 24 hours of having fun cause Vader is being nice to them.
24 Hour Videos are an extremely popular format on social media. When I worked for MrBeast, Spending X Hours in Y Situation was one of our most popular video formats, and the same is true for thousands of creators.
With AI, there are now unlimited new ways to combine social media trends with new characters and stories that never would have otherwise been economical to create.
Thus, the strategy is simple:
Don’t use AI as a flash in the pain spectacle to go viral
Create social profiles for your characters
Build vlogging formats that connect people deeply to the personal (albeit fictional life) of your characters
Then, the following your characters build can be used to sell anything. Whether it’s films featuring those characters, books, merchandise, or even brand integrations into the social media videos itself (maybe your character has a favorite drink and the drink brand sponsors the video
This is an entirely new category of social content… and it’s already huge.
The time is now for you to create your AI Character Vlog.
Let’s dive into some action steps 😊.
Create Your AI Character Vlog Today
Step #1: Decide what character you want to create a social profile around and what will make them stand out. Is it a character living in an epic fantasy world? A billionaire CEO traveling to Mars?
Step #2: Script hooks and storylines for short 30-ish second vlogs that highlight unique things happening in the fictional life of your character.
Step #3: Use tools like Kling and Midjourney or Veo 3 (note it is very pricy at the time of writing!) to turn your storylines into beautiful videos. You can then edit the generated clips inside CapCut or Davinci Resolve. Note: The Creatorwood Creation platform will be bundling all these AI tools into one easy-to-use platform for an affordable price to help you create amazing AI films AND make money from them.
Step #4: Post your completed vlogs across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Crucially, ensure that you use the same character reference images (you can make these in Midjourney… or all-in-one place when the Creatorwood Creation platform launches 😉) so that each of your vlogs features your character looking consistent.
Step #5: Integrate your character into experiences fans can purchase. Whether it be episodic films on a platform like Creatorwood, books, merch, or more – it’s now time to turn the following your character has built into a business! You can even license your character to be featured in other stories, films, or products that others create 🤯.
So… after learning about the possibilities of AI character vlogs, tell me in a reply to this email, what is one idea of a character you could create AI vlogs for?
As one final note, if you haven’t read Creatorwood yet, you can download the book helping you build a business making movies with AI for free here.
We’ll be back next week with another edition of the Creatorwood blog.
In the meantime, don’t forget…
