Why this cohort exists
6 months. One question: why do some AI reels actually pop?
In 2025 I got obsessed with that question. I reverse-engineered 59 viral AI reels with 3.9M combined likes and pulled out the 10 formulas that show up in every single one. Same hooks. Same 3-act structures. Same 3 tools. What looked like luck had a pattern.
"What looked like luck had a pattern. The hooks that repeat across viral reels are exact formulas you can copy."
Today I run that system on my own AI operator, Ava Moreno, plus 2 test accounts publishing quietly. All three started from zero. All three use the same 9-day flow you're about to learn. There's no internal version that's different from the version you get.
"There's no internal version that's different from the version you get. What you learn is what's running right now."
Cohort 1 is free because your finished case study is what's going to sell Cohort 2 at USD 297 in September. That's the real transaction. That's why I review every application myself and why tire-kickers don't get in. The 30 people who get in are the ones who'll finish Day 9 with an AI influencer publishing reels.
"The 30 people who get in show up to build, not watch. That's why I review every application myself."

Look, it's happening right now
Ava Moreno, in production.
Ava started in May 2026 from zero followers. Today she publishes one reel and one carousel every day, podcast talking-head format, without me appearing on camera once. On TikTok we publish multiple versions to find the winner, and the winner goes to Instagram and Facebook. The exact stack you're going to set up in 9 days is what keeps her publishing right now.

Building alongside you
3 AI operators in production. Ava Moreno + 2 accounts in private testing. All running the same stack, the same 10 formulas I pulled from analyzing 3.9M of viral likes, and the same 9-day flow you're about to set up. Not theory: it's what's already publishing reels every day.
How it gets built
3 steps. From character to a reel that publishes.
The exact flow for every reel. Same order, same tools, same output you'll be producing from Day 1.
01
NanoBanana Pro · included with Higgsfield
Identity lock
The face isn't yours. It's an AI character you generate in Higgsfield: you pick the face, yours never appears anywhere, ever. Your voice doesn't have to either. ElevenLabs clones it or you use a different one. Ava Moreno doesn't have a real face. You don't need one either.
02
Higgsfield Soul ID
Podcast scene
Soul ID takes your identity lock and builds the podcast scene where the character will speak. Same character, cinematic set, ready to animate.
03
HeyGen Avatar IV + ElevenLabs
Talking head
The Soul scene gets animated in HeyGen Avatar IV with the voice cloned in ElevenLabs. Real lip-sync. You download the .mp4 and upload straight to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
+ For the feed
Lifestyle carousels, so the account isn't just talking heads.
Same character, different content type. You take a viral Instagram carousel and recreate it with your AI character, without the face drifting between slides. Feed ends up with a mix of talking head reels and lifestyle carousels. The account looks human. You learn the exact method inside.
The stack that does 99% of the work
3 tools. One community.
Zero code, zero video editing.
No serious operator runs 12 tools. The whole system runs on 3 + Skool. Each one solves a specific problem in the pipeline. Day 1 you set them all up in 30 minutes.

This isn't a TikTok course
You don't learn to post.
You operate an influencer that didn't exist.
The human creator has a ceiling: one face, one voice, 24 hours in a day, and a body that wears out. The operator of an AI influencer doesn't have that ceiling. A face that doesn't age, a voice you clone in 7 minutes, 5 reels produced in one afternoon, a brand that scales without you leaving the house. This category didn't exist 18 months ago. Today there are 3 tools that make it possible and a 9-day system to set it up. Cohort 1 makes you an operator. Not a student.
Human creator
- 1 face, 1 voice
- 24 hours in a day
- 1 reel a day at the ceiling
- Camera, lights, editing, set
- You get tired, sick, you stop
AI influencer operator
- N faces and voices possible
- Batch production
- 5 reels in one afternoon
- Zero physical gear
- Keeps publishing without you
The program
9 days. One tool per day.
A concrete deliverable every day.
Each day opens with a tool, closes with a deliverable. Day 1 your character exists. Day 3 it speaks. Day 7 you publish your first reel. Day 9 you have a 30-day calendar and a chosen path to monetization. Skip a day, you lose the next one. That's why every day has a delivery deadline in Skool.

Analysis across 59 real reels using the same stack you'll use.
Day 5 · Centerpiece
The 10 Formulas that generated 3.9M likes
Viral scripts have a structure. Today you learn the 10 proven formulas with data from 59 real reels, and you write your first 9 scripts. Tomorrow you record them.
Deliverable: 9 scripts written with the right formulas, approved by the submission test.
Day 1
Identity and voice
Your influencer isn't a face, it's an opinion. Today you define who they are, what they believe, what niche they own, and why people will follow them. Tomorrow you give them a face.
Deliverable: Character brief: niche, voice, beliefs, audience, unique angle.
Day 2
The perfect image
You generate the first images in NanoBanana Pro and Higgsfield. You learn the prompt formula that gives photorealism and consistency. You train Soul ID so the face never drifts. Tomorrow you make it talk.
Deliverable: A set of images with no drift, ready for HeyGen.
Day 3
HeyGen: your influencer talks
You set up Photo Avatar IV. For the first time, your influencer speaks on video. Real lip-sync, real face, 15 seconds downloaded. Tomorrow you add your cloned voice.
Deliverable: Avatar IV tested. First 15-second video on your drive.
Day 4
ElevenLabs: the voice
You clone the voice in 7 minutes. Adjust tone, accent, cadence. Connect it to HeyGen. An influencer that sounds robotic doesn't convert. Tomorrow you write the viral scripts.
Deliverable: Cloned voice and first complete lip-sync with real voice.
Day 6
Captions and native publishing
You download the HeyGen video. Native captions for each platform (TikTok, IG, YouTube). The algorithm rewards them more than any external overlay. You learn the 3-second clip that decides reach and the subtitles that hold watch time. Zero editing software. Tomorrow you publish with the engagement system.
Deliverable: First reel exported from HeyGen with native captions made inside the platform, ready to publish.
Day 7
Publishing system
You publish your first reel on TikTok and Instagram. You activate the 4 engagement codes top creators use and don't mention. The first hour decides reach. Tomorrow you produce 5 more in one afternoon.
Deliverable: First reel published with the engagement system active.
Day 8
Batch: 5 reels in one afternoon
You step out of the inspiration cycle and into a system. One theme, 5 variations, all produced in one session with the Versioning Engine. Tomorrow you build the first month's plan.
Deliverable: 5 reels produced and ready to publish next week.
Day 9
30-day plan + path to monetization
Your first month of content gets scheduled. You pick a path: UGC ads, brand deals, clone system or your own course. You leave with a live account, a repeatable system and a clear direction.
Deliverable: 30-day calendar, chosen path to monetization, and a publishing account.
The stack and what it really costs
The tools cost money. That's the best news.
The cohort is free. The tools aren't. Here's what you pay per month, plan by plan, no fine print. And it's the only real filter that decides if this is for you.

ElevenLabs
USD 22/mo
Natural voice clone.
Total real cost: USD 50 to 100 a month. That's what you earn from ONE talking-head brand deal (USD 400 to 2,500). The stack pays for itself with your first paid post. Before that, it's your only investment. Skool free, I cover it.
Your first brand deal pays the year's subscription in one collab.
That's a filter on purpose. If USD 75 a month is a barrier, the problem isn't this cohort. The problem is the business doesn't have working capital to start. When one of your reels brings you an USD 800 brand deal, the tools stop being an expense and start being an investment that pays for itself in 24 hours.
How you make money with this
One mastery. 5 paths.
Zero competition with me.
Some courses teach you to build your own PDF, your own mini-course, your own system to sell it. That turns you into a competitor of your coach. I don't operate that way. I teach you to monetize as a creator and affiliate: you produce content, brands pay you, and when you promote my stack we both win. No cannibalization, aligned from Day 9.
Month 1
Brand
Talking-head brand deals
USD 400 to 2,500 per post
Podcast format has the highest CPM on TikTok and Instagram per public 2025-2026 industry reports. Brands pay more for integrations in a fixed set with a recognizable face than for lifestyle reels.
Your first brand deal covers 4 to 25 months of tools.
Month 2
Brand
UGC for brands in your vertical
USD 200 to 800 per piece
Brands pay UGC creators to make reels using their products. With your consistent AI character, you produce 5 UGCs in one afternoon. The entry barrier is consistent identity, which is exactly what the Day 1 and 2 system gives you.
Volume + speed. 4 pieces per week is realistic.
Month 3
Affiliate
Influencer Bootcamp affiliate
USD 89 to 150 per referral
Once you have your own operator publishing and real results, people will start asking you how you did it. Your affiliate link to Cohort 2 (USD 297) pays you 30 to 50% commission per signup. You don't have to create anything, you use the system you already know.
One referral a month covers the tools.
Month 4
Affiliate
Stack affiliate (HeyGen, Higgsfield, ElevenLabs)
USD 300 to 1,500 recurring monthly
You mention the tools in your reels with your affiliate link. Higgsfield, HeyGen, ElevenLabs and Skool pay recurring 20 to 40% commission for as long as the user keeps their subscription. Your first passive month is built in 30 seconds at the end of each reel.
Recurring. Doesn't depend on you selling actively every month.
Month 6+
B2B Affiliate
CinematicDirector.ai affiliate (enterprise)
USD 500 to 3,000 per qualified lead
CinematicDirector.ai is my other product: cinematic AI production for enterprise brands. Tickets of USD 5K to 50K. When big brands start DMing you wanting more than a reel, you refer them and earn commission. Without having to deliver the project yourself.
One enterprise lead pays 6 months of tools. Zero delivery work.
Realistic potential at 6 months, with consistency and chosen niche
USD 2,000 to 12,000 a month, depending on your publishing rate
Without having to create, sell or sustain your own product. You produce content, brands pay you, my products pay you recurring commission. Aligned, not competing. On Day 9 you pick which one to start with and I give you the specific roadmap.
Two paths. Pick yours.
Cohort 1 (free) or Cohort 2 (USD 297).
The system is the same. The difference is in the price, in my personal review, and in whether you're going to be among the first 30 operators or wait 3 months for the paid version.

The real trade
Free isn't free.
It's a deal.
There's no such thing as a free cohort with no commitment. This one is free because your finished case study is worth more to me than your payment today. In exchange for USD 0, you commit to 7 concrete things. In exchange for your word, I give you the full flow plus 6 bonuses that are worth more, in real money, than the Cohort 2 price.
- 1 Complete the 9 days. No quitting halfway. If you start, you finish.
- 2 Show up in Skool every day. Post progress, ask questions, reply to others.
- 3 Submit every day's deliverable. Each day has a concrete output. It's not optional.
- 4 Share screenshots of the process. The good and the ugly. We want the real story.
- 5 Give honest feedback. What worked, what didn't, what you'd change. That feedback improves the system for the next cohort.
- 6 Leave a review and testimonial at the end. What you built, what you learned, what results you got.
- 7 Let us use your process as a case study. Screenshots, progress and testimonial may appear on the next cohort's page.

This isn't for everyone
Apply if your plan is to build.
Don't apply if your plan is to watch.
I review every application myself. That filter is what makes this cohort work. If you see yourself in the left column, write to me and tell me what you plan to build. If you see yourself in the right one, don't apply. Cohort 2 opens in September, it'll be more comfortable, and it'll be paid.
Apply if
- You want to create an AI influencer from scratch, without appearing on camera
- You're a community manager, freelancer, designer or creator and want to add this skill
- You have a business or brand and want owned content without relying on agencies
- You can put in 60 to 90 minutes daily for 9 days straight
- You can spend USD 50 to 100 a month on tools
- You're willing to publish your process as a case study
Don't apply if
- You want to watch videos without participating
- You can't put in 60 minutes daily for 9 days
- You expect 1M guaranteed views in 9 days
- You don't want your process to appear as a case study
- You're looking for a passive course to watch when you have time
- USD 75 a month in tools is a problem
The risk is mine, not yours
If something breaks on Day 3,
I unblock it. Free.
The risk on this free cohort is mine, not yours. I invest 9 days reviewing your deliverables one by one, giving technical feedback, and unblocking every blocker. You invest 60 to 90 minutes a day and USD 50 to 100 in tools. If something in my system breaks, my obligation is to fix it, not yours.
I.
If HeyGen breaks on Day 3
I put you on a private free session until you're unblocked. Zero excuses to quit.
II.
If you reach Day 9 without publishing
I let you into Cohort 2 free so you can finish. Zero excuses not to apply.
My Day 9 promise
If you complete the 9 deliverables and don't publish on Day 9, I get you into Cohort 2 free and we redo it together.
Complete the 9 deliverables, one per day, like the program asks. If you don't have a working published reel by Day 9, I get you into Cohort 2 (USD 297) free and we redo it together. It's not money back: it's me finishing what I started with you. If you don't complete the deliverables, this doesn't apply. This is for people who do the work, not people who watch.
Before you confuse this with other courses
What this is NOT.
A lot of noise is showing up around AI influencers. Pre-recorded courses, "academies" with 900 students, promises of 7 simultaneous income streams, hidden adult content modules. I don't operate any of those models. So you don't apply thinking this is something it isn't:
×
It is NOT a 100-lesson pre-recorded course
It's a 9-day cohort with direct feedback. Each day has a concrete deliverable. I review your progress on Days 3, 6 and 9 personally. No 100 hours of video to procrastinate over.
×
It is NOT a 900-student academy
30 seats. Cohort 1 is Cohort 1. Once we hit 30, I close. There's no "premium" version where you buy extra feedback. Personal review is included because there's only 30 of us.
×
I am NOT promising "7 simultaneous streams"
No real operator runs 7 streams in month 1. That's marketing. I teach you ONE format (podcast talking head) and how to unlock 5 monetization paths in order, with real industry data, not projections.
×
It does NOT include adult content or PPV
There are courses out there that hide a Fanvue / OnlyFans / 18+ module behind a "limited bonus." That's not what I do. If your plan is to monetize with adult content, this cohort isn't for you. No judgment.
×
It is NOT theory or "AI fundamentals"
No "What is an LLM" or "History of generative AI" module. I teach you where to click. Day 1 you install the accounts. Day 2 your character exists. Day 3 it talks. Day 7 you publish. Day 9 you monetize.
×
It is NOT get-rich-quick or USD X/mo guaranteed
I'm not promising USD 2,000 a month in 60 days. I'm teaching you a system. What that system generates depends on your niche, your consistency and your hustle. What I can tell you: the industry rates are published above.
So what it actually is:
A 9-day production system with my personal review, 6 calibrated products (not PDFs), 30 seats per cohort, and an honest transaction: your finished case study in exchange for the full stack. If that fits, write to me.
The questions I get every day
What you're probably thinking right now.
If you're hesitating, it's because one of these phrases just went through your head. I answer them direct, no marketing.
"I have no idea about AI. Is this for me?"
Yes, and it's the profile that gets the most out of it. Cohort 1 is designed for someone who has never opened HeyGen, ElevenLabs or Higgsfield. Day 1 you install the accounts, Day 2 you have an AI character with a consistent face across scenes, Day 3 your character talks with your cloned voice. I'm not teaching you theory, I'm teaching you where to click.
What you do need: to be able to put in 1 to 2 hours a day for 9 days, and to be willing to publish on the last day. If you can't do that, don't apply.
"Is it really free? Where's the catch?"
Really free for the first 30. Zero payment today, zero payment at the end. No hidden upsell, no unlockable "premium" module, no closing coaching call.
The real reason: I need 30 English-language case studies to sell Cohort 2 at USD 297 in September. Your work, your screenshots and your Day 9 result are what I pay in exchange for teaching you. That's the transaction. It's written above in "The trade" section.
The only cost on your side is the tool subscriptions, which run USD 65 to 80 a month and you cancel any time. The tool charges you, not me.
"What about the free plans on HeyGen, ElevenLabs and Higgsfield? Can I do the cohort without paying?"
Short answer: no. I'd be lying if I said yes. Let me walk you through exactly why, tool by tool, with the current 2026 limits:
HeyGen free. 3 videos a month, max 1 minute each, exported in 720p with a HeyGen watermark you can't remove. Photo Avatar IV is only "trial access" on the free plan, not for real production. For the 9 days + what comes after, you need the Creator plan (USD 29/mo) to remove the watermark and use Avatar IV for real.
ElevenLabs free. 10,000 credits a month (roughly 10 to 20 minutes of audio). Instant Voice Cloning (Day 4 of the cohort) is not available on the free plan. And most importantly: the free plan does not include commercial usage rights. That means any reel you publish with ElevenLabs free voice can't be legally monetized. For USD 5 a month (Starter plan) you unlock voice cloning and commercial rights.
Higgsfield free. 150 credits a month, split across all models. NanoBanana Pro on the Basic plan gives 70 credits/mo (about 35 Pro images). Free works for Soul ID with limited credits, but it's not enough to produce daily content at the pace we need.
The real floor to do the cohort and legally monetize: HeyGen Creator USD 29 + ElevenLabs Starter USD 5 + Higgsfield Basic USD 29 = USD 63 a month. That's the honest price. If that number is a problem, wait for Cohort 2, or the business doesn't have working capital to start yet.
"Why only 30 seats if it's async?"
Because I review every application, every Day 3, 6 and 9 milestone, and answer every question in Skool. 30 people × 9 days is the limit of human hours I have in August. At 31, my review quality starts dropping and I'd rather close.
In Cohort 2, that same work gets distributed to the 30 Cohort 1 alumni acting as coaches, which is why that cohort can grow and why it costs USD 297.
"I have no audience. Does this work for starting from zero?"
It's exactly for that. Ava Moreno started at zero followers a few weeks ago. The 3.9M likes I quote aren't from a profile of mine with existing audience, they're from an analysis of 59 viral reels from external creators that I studied to extract the 10 formulas you'll apply.
The Day 9 deliverable is a publish-ready reel. You upload it to a new account, with zero followers. The system is designed to reach the algorithm, not to lean on an audience you don't have.
"Do I need to know video editing or prompts?"
No. The 3 tools (HeyGen, ElevenLabs, Higgsfield) do the heavy lifting. You don't touch CapCut, Premiere or After Effects. The prompts come written in templates, you adapt them by changing 4 words.
The tools have English interfaces and the templates and my feedback are 100% in English. If you can follow a YouTube tutorial, you're set.
"What happens if I don't reach Day 9 with a publishable reel?"
I reply personally in Skool and we figure out what slowed you down. If it was about time and you want to finish later, I leave the material open for an extra 30 days at no cost.
What I don't do is a refund, because there's nothing to refund. Cohort 1 is free.
"Is my AI character going to look fake?"
In 2024, yes. In 2026, no. Ava Moreno passes the "this is a real person" filter on platforms and in comments. HeyGen Avatar IV lip-sync is indistinguishable in vertical 9:16. ElevenLabs cloned voice has nuances, breaths, natural pauses.
What I do teach is honest bio disclosure following each platform's current policies. I'm not teaching you to deceive, I'm teaching you to publish a legitimate AI creator.
"Can I apply if I'm outside the US?"
Yes. Cohort 1 is open to the entire English-speaking market. US, UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, English-speaking Europe and Asia-Pacific. Templates are in clean American English and the community is async, so timezones don't block participation.
The tool stack works from any country. HeyGen and ElevenLabs payments process in USD with international cards.
"What if I decide not to apply right now?"
Cohort 2 opens in September 2026 at USD 297. It will have more seats, an already active community, and Cohort 1 case studies as proof. The content is the same 9-day flow.
The only thing that doesn't repeat is the zero price and my personal review of every milestone. This is Cohort 1.
The cohort closes August 1, 2026
30 seats. Hard close.
After that, price goes to USD 297.
This isn't a marketing trick. August 1 is the real date I need to start the program the following Monday and hold my review schedule. I can only give one-on-one feedback to 30 people across 9 days. Once we hit 30, I close applications even if there's time left on the clock. Cohort 2 opens in September, will cost USD 297, and will sell itself with the case studies we build together in August.

Zero risk · Day 9 guarantee
Complete the 9 deliverables. If you don't publish on Day 9, I get you into Cohort 2 (USD 297) free and we redo it together. It's not money back: it's me finishing what I started with you.

The cohort is free. The tools aren't. Higgsfield (with NanoBanana Pro included), HeyGen and ElevenLabs add up to USD 50 to 100 a month. That's the only cost, and it's the filter that decides if this cohort is for you.
P.S. If you made it this far
Here's what matters in 6 points.
1
Cohort 1 is free. 30 seats. Closes August 1, 2026, even if we hit 30 before that. Cohort 2 opens in September and will cost USD 297. There's no third shot at this price.
2
9 async days in Skool, not 100 pre-recorded lessons. I review your progress on Days 3, 6 and 9 personally. You won't be alone in a Discord with 900 students fighting for feedback.
3
The system is running right now on Ava Moreno (my own AI operator, in production) and on 2 more test accounts. Not theory. It's the exact flow you're about to learn.
4
I teach you to monetize as a creator and affiliate, not as a competitor of mine. 5 paths: brand deals, UGC, Influencer Bootcamp affiliate, stack affiliate, CinematicDirector.ai enterprise affiliate. Your first brand deal covers 4 to 25 months of tools.
5
The risk is mine, not yours. If something breaks on Day 3, I stop everything and unblock it with you. If you complete the 9 deliverables and don't publish on Day 9, I get you into Cohort 2 (USD 297) free and we redo it together. Not money back: I finish what I started with you. Cohort 1 is the only one with that guarantee.
6
The trade is honest. Your finished case study (screenshots, progress, published reels) is what's going to sell Cohort 2 at USD 297. That's the real transaction. That's why it's free, and that's why only 30 people who show up to build, not watch, get in.
If this fits, you drop your email above and I reply personally in less than 48 hours. If you fit, we start in Skool the Monday after close. If not, I tell you with respect.
