Welcome to our step-by-step tutorial on how to create short marketing videos quickly/easily and make online profits using an AI software product called Pictory.ai. This tutorial will walk you through the entire process, from selecting a product or service to market to promoting your videos and earning commissions. Let’s get started!
Select a Product or Service
If you already have products and/or services that you are sell, then you are all set. If not, you will want to perform the following steps:
Define the Product or Service You Want to Promote: Start by identifying a product or service that you are passionate about or that has a high demand in the market. I market Amazon Best Seller products, my business coaching skills and the Pictory.ai affiliate program (more on that later).
Identify Your Target Audience: Determine who your potential customers are and what they are looking for. This will help you tailor your marketing efforts effectively. This was easy for me because everyone shops at Amazon, and everyone wants to earn extra money!
Research Popular Niches: Look for trending products or services in various niches such as technology, beauty, fitness, and more.
Analyze Market Demand: Use tools like Google Trends, Amazon Best Sellers, and social media platforms to gauge the demand for different products or services.
Consider Your Interests: Choose something that you are genuinely interested in or have knowledge about. This will make it easier to create engaging content.
Pictory.ai
The application I use to produce short marketing videos is Pictory.ai
I have found it to be easy to use and highly customizable. I will explain more about Pictory.ai below but here is a link to get a free trial.
And if you enter the coupon code ShortVideoProfits you will get a permanent 20% discount through my link.
There are several ways to create videos with Pictory.ai. You can use a text script, a URL, a blog post, even a Power Point presentation. Below is a video about how to use a text script to create a video.
I thought it would be useful for me to provide a real example. First, I need a script. I think a lot of people would watch a short video titled “What are the Aorora Borealis.” So, I asked Microsoft Copilot to answer that question Below is the script Copilot gave me.
Use AI Applications to Write Your Video Script. There are several AI chatbots that can help you generate engaging scripts for your videos. Some popular options include OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, and Meta.ai. I use the Microsoft Edge browser which comes with Copilot but any of the chatbots listed above will work.
Here is how Copilot responded:
The aurora borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, are mesmerizing natural light displays that appear in the Earth’s sky, mainly in high-latitude regions around the Arctic.
They are caused by interactions between charged particles from the sun and the Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere. When these charged particles collide with gases like oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth’s atmosphere, they produce stunning colors, typically greens, pinks, reds, and occasionally blues and purples.
The best times to view the aurora borealis are during winter months when nights are long and skies are clear, in locations like Norway, Sweden, Finland, Canada, and Alaska.
So, I copied that text, went to Pictory.ai and pasted it in and pressed the Proceed button. Below is the video Pictory.ai created.
I added the first “Turn Sound On” scene (and I didn’t give it enough time). And I added the Golf Rangefinder ad at the end as an example.
If I were going to post that video online, I would make some changes to it but for just a few minutes’ worth of work, I think it did a pretty good job, don’t you?
I mostly promote Amazon products AND of course the Pictory.ai software affiliate program. You can promote almost any product or service with short videos.
The beauty of the Pictori.ai affiliate program is once a referral is making money with Pictory.ai videos they will never stop paying the membership price and you will continue to earn for the life of their membership.
The Pictory.ai Starter Plan is $25/month that comes with 200 video minutes per month, access to 2 million royalty-free videos, and basic AI tools. Use the coupon code shortfreeprofits for a lifetime 20% discount.
I prefer the Pictory.ai Professional Plan which costs $49/month. This plan includes 600 video minutes per month, access to 12 million videos, advanced AI tools, and 5 brand kits. Use the coupon code ‘shortfreeprofits’ for a lifetime 20% discount.

Posting Videos:
Once you have created and downloaded your video you will want to post it to as many social media sites as possible. I post videos to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Pinterest, and Vimeo. I use a tool called Sendible.com to auto post to most of these sites. The Sensible.com single user price is $29/month currently, and they too have an affiliate program which can give you a second source of passive income.
