Facebook AI Image Posting

Growing a Facebook profile with high-volume AI image posts and sending followers to affiliate digital products

Video published Oct 30, 2026 by Aaron Chen

Startup cost: Near-zero cost (free Canva and ChatGPT tiers work; a paid AI plan helps) (our estimate; the video doesn’t give figures)

What It Is

Pick a niche such as parenting or business, join large Facebook groups in it and add 10-20 relevant people a day from your personal profile to build an audience. Study successful creators in the niche, have ChatGPT rewrite their best-performing text and image posts into new versions, design them in Canva, and schedule 20-30 posts a day spread across the clock (multi-page carousel posts put the extra pages in the comments). Turn on Facebook's monetization once eligible, but the main income comes from a profile link to a sales funnel that recommends other people's digital products for a commission.

The Pitch

The creator says his page went from about 2,000 to 424,000 followers in a few months and shows PayPal payments from affiliate sales, along with an award for his first million dollars. He argues Facebook's own payouts are small and the real money is moving followers off the platform to products that solve their problems.

Who It’s Best For

Consistent people willing to batch-create many posts each day in a niche they understand.

The Truth (as we see it)

Building an audience and sending it to affiliate offers is a real model, and the creator is upfront that Facebook payouts alone are modest. Remaking other people's viral posts with AI is close to copying and can draw copyright complaints or reach penalties, and sending friend requests to strangers can get an account restricted even at his suggested pace. His income figures are his own and unverified, and his 'free masterclass' is the entry point to his paid training.
