A year ago, I would have laughed at myself calling a video “cinematic”. Yet here I am, producing jaw-dropping, scroll-stopping content for clients—and doing it nearly on autopilot using Manus AI and Google VEO 3. And here’s the kicker: I never thought I’d make my biggest commissions not from editing, but from automating. If you’re tired of chasing the next big tactic or simply want to turn cool AI tools into steady income, come along for my (sometimes bumpy) journey and see what makes this combination not just powerful, but actually profitable.

From Prompts to Profit: The Manus + VEO 3 Creative Machine

I’ll be honest—when I first discovered Manus AI, I thought it was just another ChatGPT wannabe. Boy, was I wrong. Think of Manus as ChatGPT’s overachieving sibling who actually went to business school and knows how to make money. This agentic AI specializes in multi-step creative tasks that go way beyond simple conversations.

Discovering the Ultimate Research Assistant

What caught my attention wasn’t just Manus’s ability to generate content—it was how it approached AI video creation with the precision of a seasoned marketing professional. Unlike traditional AI tools that give you generic responses, Manus digs deep into research, understanding your target audience, and crafting cinematic video prompts that actually convert. The real game-changer came when Google VEO 3 support was integrated directly into the platform. Suddenly, I didn’t need to juggle multiple accounts or deal with the awkward platform-hopping that used to eat up half my day. Research shows that VEO 3 is capable of producing cinematic scenes and short-form marketing videos for businesses, supporting video generation from 8 to 60 seconds with stunning quality.

Crafting Client-Worthy Video Scripts

Let me walk you through a real example. I recently worked with a Dallas dentist who needed Facebook ads that would actually stop people from scrolling. Instead of spending hours researching dental marketing trends, I simply prompted Manus: “I want to make a video that I can sell to a local dentist in Dallas that they can use as a Facebook ad to get clients. Create a prompt that I can use to make this in Google VEO 3.” What Manus delivered wasn’t just a prompt—it was a comprehensive marketing strategy wrapped in cinematic video prompts. It understood the local market, the pain points of potential dental patients, and crafted scenarios that would resonate with Dallas residents specifically. The ability to customize prompts for niche industries or locations like this is where the real money lies.

“Think of it as a machine that can create content on autopilot and auto schedule it for you.”

The Seamless Integration Advantage

Before this integration, creating professional videos meant having separate accounts, switching between platforms, and dealing with compatibility issues. The seamless Google VEO 3 integration changed everything. Now, Manus integrates with VEO 3 to automate AI video creation for commercial use, eliminating the technical headaches that used to slow down the creative process. The beauty of this setup is in its simplicity. You input a business challenge, Manus researches and develops the perfect video concept, then automatically generates the cinematic video prompts optimized for VEO 3’s capabilities. The result? Professional-grade marketing videos that businesses are willing to pay $500 to $2,000 per month for.

My First Prompt Disaster (And How Manus Saved Me)

I have to share this because it perfectly illustrates why Manus became my go-to tool. Early on, I was working with a local restaurant and created what I thought was a brilliant prompt for their promotional video. It was generic, boring, and completely missed their unique selling proposition. The client wasn’t impressed, and I was scrambling to fix things. That’s when I discovered Manus’s research capabilities go beyond simple prompt generation. I fed it the same restaurant information, but this time let Manus do its thing. It analyzed the local competition, identified the restaurant’s unique positioning, and crafted a video concept that highlighted their farm-to-table approach in a way that connected with their specific community. The difference was night and day. The final video generated through VEO 3 wasn’t just professional—it told a story that made people care about this particular restaurant. That client renewed their contract for six months at $1,200 per month.

The Commercial Potential

What makes this combination so powerful for business is the commercial application. With the ability to produce 8s to 60s cinematic videos for business marketing, you’re not just creating content—you’re solving real business problems. Local businesses desperately need video content that stands out, and most can’t afford traditional video production costs. The Manus + VEO 3 combination fills that gap perfectly, delivering high-quality video content without the

Closing the Loop: Lead Generation and Automated Content Scheduling

Creating stunning videos with VEO 3 and Manus AI is only half the battle. The real magic happens when you connect this video production capability with smart lead generation and automated content scheduling. Let me walk you through my exact process for finding clients and scaling this operation.

Gemini: My Secret Weapon for Ultra-Targeted Leads

I discovered something incredible about Gemini that most people overlook. It’s not just a chatbot—it’s a lead generation powerhouse. Here’s the exact prompt I use: “I am a digital marketing agency that helps create professional videos for local dentists. I want to get more leads, create a detailed list of forty leads. They need to be local to Dallas, Texas. I want their business name, email address, phone number, and website address.”

In under sixty seconds, Gemini delivered forty Dallas dental practices with complete contact information. Research shows that AI tools like Gemini streamline lead sourcing for service businesses, making what used to take hours happen in moments.

The Research Phase That Seals Deals

Getting the leads is just step one. The real value comes from research. I always check their current social media presence before reaching out. Take Bear Creek Family Dentistry from my search—I immediately visited their website and social accounts.

Most small businesses lack regular, high-quality video content on their social platforms. They might post occasionally, but it’s inconsistent. Some don’t even have social media accounts set up properly. This gap represents your opportunity.

When I find businesses posting sporadically or using low-quality images instead of engaging videos, I know they need video marketing services. I’ll often create a free sample video for their business using VEO 3, showing them exactly what their content could look like.

Case Study: The Free Sample Video Strategy

Here’s my proven approach for wowing local businesses. After identifying a prospect with weak social presence, I create a thirty-second promotional video featuring their business. I use their existing photos, add professional transitions with VEO 3, and include compelling text overlays.

Then I reach out with something like: “I noticed your dental practice could benefit from more engaging social content. I created this sample video for you—no strings attached. If you like it, we can discuss creating regular content for your practice.”

This approach works because you’re providing immediate value before asking for anything in return.

Funnel Freedom: Your Automated Content Empire

Now comes the scaling part. Managing ten, twenty, or thirty clients manually would be impossible. That’s where automated content scheduling transforms everything.

I use Funnel Freedom’s social planner to handle all client posting. You can connect Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and YouTube accounts. The magic happens when you realize:

“It looks like you’re posting every single day, but you’re simply adding it to this social planner automated poster.”

Your clients see consistent daily or weekly posts across all platforms, but you’re not manually posting anything. You batch-create videos, schedule them out for the month, and the system handles everything automatically.

The “Forgot and Still Landed” Moment

I’ll never forget my first automated success story. I had scheduled a week’s worth of content for a local restaurant, then completely forgot about it while I was traveling. The posts went live perfectly on schedule. When I returned, the restaurant owner called to praise the “amazing consistency” and immediately upgraded to a higher-tier subscription plan.

That moment taught me the true power of automation. Studies indicate that automated posting increases perceived value and helps secure higher client retainers. Your clients see professional, consistent output and assume you’re working around the clock.

Setting Up Your Multi-Platform Posting Strategy

The setup process is straightforward. Create a new post in Funnel Freedom, select which platforms to target, write your caption, upload your VEO 3 video, and choose “schedule post” instead of

Scaling Up: Services, Packages, and the Wild World of Reselling AI Courses

Here’s where things get really interesting. Once you’ve landed those first few clients with your stunning AI videos, you’re sitting on a goldmine that most people completely miss. What started as a simple $500 monthly video package quickly transforms into something much bigger when you understand how to properly scale and package your services.

The Pricing Evolution: From Starter to Premium

I always tell my clients to start with a modest $500 monthly retainer for video creation services. It’s enough to get your foot in the door without scaring prospects away. But here’s what happens next – and this part still amazes me. Once they see the quality of your work and the engagement their videos generate, they inevitably ask for more.

This is where upselling becomes effortless. You can gradually increase to $1,000, then $2,000 monthly packages by adding complementary services. The beauty lies in the fact that you’re already creating content for them, so expanding into SEO optimization, paid advertising management, and social media strategy feels like a natural progression. Research shows that utilizing the same client list for multiple services significantly accelerates business growth compared to constantly hunting for new prospects.

The Ultimate Wild Card: AI Course Reselling

Now, let me share something that completely changed my business model.

“There is now an AI program called AI freedom launchpad, which allows you to resell at a hundred percent commissions.”

This isn’t just about creating videos anymore – it’s about building multiple income streams from the same client relationships.

With commercial usage rights and AI course reselling opportunities, you can literally turn your newfound skills into passive income. The AI Freedom Launchpad program enables you to earn 100% commissions on course sales while maintaining your video creation services. It’s like having two businesses that feed each other perfectly.

The Ripple Effect That Surprised Me

I’ll be honest – I didn’t believe this would happen when I first started. But almost every client who begins with video services eventually asks about other digital marketing needs. They start seeing results from their videos and naturally want to expand their online presence.

This ripple effect creates incredible opportunities for service expansion. Your clients trust you because you’ve already delivered results with their video content. When they need Google SEO services, Facebook ads management, or comprehensive digital marketing strategies, you become their go-to solution. The Funnel Freedom coaching program and Freedom University provide all the training you need to confidently offer these additional services, even if you’re starting as a complete beginner.

Why DIY Fails and You Win

Here’s my honest opinion after working with hundreds of local businesses: 99.99% of them struggle tremendously with DIY video creation. They lack the time, technical knowledge, and creative vision to produce content that actually converts. Most business owners can barely keep up with their daily operations, let alone learn complex AI video tools and maintain consistent content creation schedules.

This creates a massive opportunity for those willing to master these tools. While business owners fumble with basic video editing software, you’re creating cinematic-quality content in minutes using Google VEO 3 and Manus AI. The gap between what they need and what they can realistically produce themselves is where your business thrives.

Building Your Scalable Package System

Smart packaging equals recurring revenue and client loyalty. Start with video creation services that include commercial usage rights and priority support. Then layer on additional services as clients see results. The key is positioning yourself as their complete digital marketing partner rather than just a video creator.

The subscription-based AI tools support ongoing learning and service expansion, making it easier to stay ahead of client demands. With proper training from programs like Freedom University, you can confidently expand your offerings without the typical learning curve that stops most service providers.

What began as a simple AI video service becomes a comprehensive digital marketing solution. The same client relationships that started with $500 monthly video packages can easily grow into $2,000+ monthly retainers when you understand how to package and scale effectively. That’s the real power of this approach – turning initial video clients into long

TL;DR: I show you how to leverage Google VEO 3 and Manus AI to easily create cinematic videos, land paying clients, automate postings, and even branch into AI course reselling—all with real-world prompts, practical tips, and a bit of entrepreneurial grit.
