Speaker A
I’ve surpassed 200,000 yen in monthly ad revenue. But this video isn't just about me hitting 200,000. Impressive, right? That’s not really what I want to talk about. What I’ve realized in these five months is that there is only
Speaker A
one difference between those who struggle and those who break through. It's not about increasing volume, but increasing the impact of a single video. The main reason for going from 100,000 to 200,000 wasn't increasing the number of uploads. It was
Speaker A
increasing the views per video. That’s everything. Today, I’ll reveal the evolution of the AI tools behind this and everything I changed to boost video quality. So, let’s get right into it. To be honest, my production time is almost the same as
Speaker A
it was five months ago. So what changed? The quality I can output in the same amount of time has clearly improved.
Speaker A
Why? Because the AI tools themselves evolved. Five months ago, I was creating images one by one manually, cutting every clip, and arranging them on the timeline. Honestly, that was pretty exhausting work. But things are different now. The evolution of these
Speaker A
tools has compressed the manual work, letting me spend more time on thinking. This is the key. Many people who struggle are so caught up in the production process that they lack the time to consider if their video is
Speaker A
truly what the viewer wants. By properly adopting these tool advancements, you create that breathing room. So, I’d like to introduce three specific tools I’ve been using. First is Flowbar. It’s a tool that automates image generation. Previously, image generation meant writing a prompt
Speaker A
, then generating. If it wasn't good enough or if you didn't like it, you’d tweak it and generate again. It was a constant cycle of that. Retaking the same image multiple times took a significant amount of time. Flowbar's
Speaker A
auto-generation handles that entire process in one go. Once you set the style, it generates multiple images at once. And the consistency in quality is also quite high. For me, I input the script and generate images in one go.
Speaker A
Then, I use that as a framework to build and create additional images from there. What used to take 45 hours just for material prep can now be done in an hour to make a 4-to-8-minute video. And with the time saved, I can focus on
Speaker A
video generation, adjusting prompts to drastically improve video quality. This is a major change compared to five months ago. The second point is Kling's multi-cut feature. Those who have made AI videos know that you usually create one video for one cut. That was the
Speaker A
typical process. But with Kling AI's multi-cut feature, you can create multiple cuts from a single image. This is quite revolutionary for the production workflow. For example, you can consistently create scenes from walking in a forest to arriving in a
Speaker A
city. What changes because of this is that the flow of the entire video improves. When generating cuts separately, the atmosphere or color grading would often drift, lowering the quality, but multi-cut creates a sense of unity and cohesion that boosts
Speaker A
quality. This directly impacts viewer retention, so it's a subtle but very effective feature. And the third point is Flux's consistency. This tool is a total game changer for image generation. AI images used to have a lot of
Speaker A
telltale AI artifacts. Fingers would look wrong or the eyes would be depicted unnaturally. With Flux Pro, the quality of generation has been taken to the next level. Especially for creators generating people or characters, this difference in consistency and accuracy is a major
Speaker A
factor in viewer retention. In the world of Shorts, viewers swipe away the second they realize a video is AI-generated, so whether or not you can hide that "AI look" significantly impacts your view counts. The evolution of tools has certainly improved
Speaker A
production efficiency and quality. However, this alone isn't enough to increase your views. I’m going to introduce three specific things I’ve changed over the last five months. The first is the improvement of character consistency. When I was making videos
Speaker A
five months ago, I could keep characters consistent, but the quality would drop as soon as they turned around or were shown in profile. Trying to force it would take a huge amount of effort and time, so I’d end up giving
Speaker A
up and compromising on the video quality. Well, that’s how it was. But now, we can set character references.
Speaker A
That worry is almost gone, allowing me to generate videos without those issues. This is also why the "AI feel" has disappeared. And second, I’ve been creating videos with SEO in mind so they show up in search results. My
Speaker A
recent posts now appear at the top when searched. Users who find videos by searching for terms they know have a strong desire to watch, which tends to lead to higher viewer retention rates.
Speaker A
This is another factor contributing to my growth. And third, being conscious of the asset value of your videos. As I mentioned in my last video, horizontal videos become assets. The horizontal videos I've made over these five months are still getting steady views and
Speaker A
continue to build up revenue. In other words, the current 200,000 isn't just from new posts; it's the accumulation of revenue from past videos combined with the new ones. Once you understand this, your approach to each individual video will change. It’s not just
Speaker A
about getting views this month. It’s not just about hoping a video goes viral. Instead of that approach, I started to consider whether a video would still be watched six months from now. I believe that having this perspective is a major factor in the
Speaker A
way you approach long-form video content. And it is precisely because I considered that, that I was able to build up my channel and grow from 100,000 to 200,000 subscribers. So, I have talked about how I have changed and about the tools I use. Finally, I
Speaker A
have something I want to share with those who are currently struggling to grow. During these past five months, things haven't always gone well for me every single time. There were videos that didn't gain any traction at all.
Speaker A
But I didn't quit. I kept testing every single video and worked based on hypotheses, which is why I am where I am today. AI tools are evolving every single day. Things that were impossible six months ago are now possible. In
Speaker A
other words, whether you are just starting out or struggling to grow, I want you to know that if you use the evolution of these tools to your advantage, there are still plenty of opportunities ahead. What matters is not chasing quantity, but raising the
Speaker A
quality of each video, and I have discussed the necessary mindset and tools for that today. Now, I would like to conclude by sharing what I want to convey to you all. From here on, the evolution of AI will continue to level
Speaker A
up rapidly. The number of things AI cannot do will keep decreasing, but there is one thing I know that AI still cannot do. That is the judgment of what kind of video you should create. And determining what kind of editing style
Speaker A
and level of quality is necessary to complete it. In short, it is the strategic marketing aspect. What kind of videos do viewers actually want to watch? This judgment must be made by a human being. Therefore, while those watching this video certainly need to
Speaker A
improve their technical skills in making AI videos, I believe it is extremely important to level up your strategic perspective so you can decide what kind of videos you should be making. To do that, you first need to acquire the basics of video production,
Speaker A
scriptwriting, and mastering AI tools; doing so will broaden your perspective on which videos you should be creating.
Speaker A
And I believe that if you try to hone those skills by making decisions and producing everything on your own, it will take a significant amount of time.
Speaker A
You must borrow others' strength.
Speaker A
I have been involved in video production for about eight years. If there were a way to condense those eight years into just a few months, I wouldn't hesitate to learn it. If we assume the value of what you're
Speaker A
thinking of investing in now increases your income by 100,000 yen a month, that’s 600,000 yen in six months and 1.2 million yen in a year. Many of you might think this sounds ridiculous, but I started my company at 25. When I
Speaker A
started seeing results, there were people who had told me the same thing before I turned 25. At the time, I also thought it sounded fishy or ridiculous.
Speaker A
However, at 25, I was able to achieve my goal of a 1 million yen monthly income. Eight years have passed since then. Calculating 12 months times 8 years times 1 million yen per month, that equals 96 million yen. Of course,
Speaker A
I’ve achieved even better results than that over the eight years, but what I want you all to understand is that skills become assets. Acquire skills that earn money and keep polishing them relentlessly. The view you see now and your way of thinking
Speaker A
will inevitably change. I suspect that 90%of the people watching this video don’t know what they should be doing right now. I truly understand that feeling. Because I was the same way.
Speaker A
However, even if I were to lose my Instagram followers, my members, my consulting clients, my assets, and my savings—to be left with absolutely nothing—I could immediately determine my priorities, clarify what needs to be done, and take action. This is also a
Speaker A
skill. I believe this skill is worth thousands of times more than the money you currently have in your bank account . Well, if just 1%, or even just one person, hears this and realizes something or takes action, or if it
Speaker A
resonates with someone, I’d be very happy. If you are currently struggling with your own channel, your social media, how to increase your income, or what skills you should be acquiring.
Speaker A
For those people, I offer paid courses and one-on-one consulting services. I propose the best plan based on your situation and we move forward week by week, so it is quite easy to progress and feel your own growth; if you are
Speaker A
interested, please check the description box. As for me, my own results keep improving, so I will continue to work hard, and I hope to provide various types of content to give courage to those of you watching as well. I look forward to your
Speaker A
continued support. Let’s work hard together so that you all can achieve results. With that, this concludes the video. Thank you for watching. This was Mame.
