What It Is
You use AI video tools to recreate the look of expensive brand commercials as portfolio pieces, then find paying clients through Instagram, Behance and direct pitches, and make short commercials for their products.
The Pitch
Sanji says he recreated three big-brand ads in 10 minutes with two basic AI subscriptions, and used that portfolio to make $2,000 in 14 days from a brand-new account with no followers.
Who It’s Best For
Creative people who like video and can handle client feedback.
The Truth (as we see it)
$2,000 in 14 days is his own experiment, shown as one result. Clients need to know and accept that work is AI-made; recreating famous brands' ads for a portfolio can raise trademark issues, so use your own concepts for anything public.
