How to Create a VIRAL Animated Avatar and get MILLIONS of Views (tutorial/proof)

I've made hundreds of thousands of dollars on social media by following the best Trends and capitalizing on what works lately I've noticed that some of the most viral content on the Internet is using AI generated mascots like these and since I decided that my new YouTube channel would use an animated Avatar and got fully monetized in less than 45 days we know it worked in fact by far the biggest request I get on my small channel is to show people how to make an animated character like mine going with an animated character character is great

for people like myself who have quality information to share but also have no interest in becoming an influencer or putting my face all over the Internet so today I'll be showing you the three best ways to create animated characters online including exactly how I design the one you're seeing right now that way you can improve your content and increase your chances of going viral before we get into method one we should understand why having an animated character is important let's say you finally decided to start a YouTube channel or an Instagram account but you really

don't want to have to show your face on it trust me I get that comment sections can be brutal and being an influencer isn't for everyone if that sounds like you then creating a faceless account is a great option in fact some of the most viral accounts online today are actually faceless and I've personally made hundreds of thousands of dollars from faceless channels and accounts but look if you just post boring information then you're probably going to grow slower than the guy who does decide to put his face all over the Internet so without further

Ado let's get into method one first we're going to come to Mid Journey now mid journe is paid but stable diffusion or Leonardo are also great free options once you join mid Journey you can come into the Discord server here we can prompt it to create our Avatar when you're prompting you want to be thinking about what your character looks like what they're wearing the lighting and you want to be as specific as possible because the more specific you are the better result you'll get you can copy and modify the same exact prompt I used

here by just signing up for my newsletter in the description I want my avatar to look like this guy because he feels pretty friendly step two now we're going to bring this over to a tool called Studio this AI software is going to blow your mind and you're able to make up to 20 animations for free so after you sign up we can come into the studio they have some super basic options to choose from but with our custom avatar we're going to make a masterpiece select your avatar image and upload them into the studio

now we're going to be telling it what to say I'll just give him a basic YouTube introduction from here we can click generate video and let's see what we came up with hey my name is YouTube man subscribe to my channel for more pretty cool but obviously that voice doesn't really match the vibe at all so for step three we're going to make a better voiceover for this we'll use 11 Labs now I know I've mentioned this tool before but again in my opinion this is by far the best AI voice generator in the game

right now you can clone your favorite actor's voice there's power in looking silly and not caring that you do courage is not the absence of fear but simply moving on with dignity despite that fear but for this I actually like one of their pre-made selections it's going pretty viral and you've probably heard it on the internet somewhere by now I'll paste over the same prompt we used before and add some dot dot dots at the start you'll see why later and here's how it sounds hey my name is YouTube dude subscribe to my channel for

more if you don't like it you can continue to adjust the pitch and stability until it's exactly how you want it step four once we're happy we will save this and come back to studio now we can upload the voice I noticed that when we do this Studio did cuts out about a half second off the front which is why I added the dot dot dot just to save you some time once it's uploaded we can click generate and see how it turned out hey my name is YouTube dude subscribe to my channel for more

to be honest I'm really happy with this but just in case this isn't really the vibe you're looking for I also made an example of Marcus aurelus hi my name is Marcus aurelus and welcome to my channel I'm showing you this to hopefully ignite some creativity because there are really endless opportunities here think about it now you just need to upload your script or audio file into studio and you'll have an animated Avatar just like this you'll be able to use this for all your future projects moving on to the second method we're going to

use a tool called hey Jen once you sign up for a free trial you can browse some of their examples in all honesty some of these blew my mind a bit and sparked up so much creativity to start our project we'll come in and select the video size we want to use for this landscape mode for YouTube videos and portrait for reals shorts or Tik toks for this example I'll just do landscape but this works great for either first we will enter our script here or add our own audio file I tested both and either

way works but for now I'm just going to enter this script next we will select an avatar now haen actually already has tons of real options everything from old ladies to Santa Claus to this guy who looks like a sleazy lawyer you'd see on a billboard on the side of a highway but in my opinion these are a little cheesy and probably wouldn't do very well long term but if we come into the talking photo section these are a bit more interesting the disneyl looking characters are awesome and really cute but you could even do

something with the Mona Lisa so these are great but it got me thinking how we could use this tool even more creatively one of the biggest drawbacks to being the face of a YouTube channel is having to look good on camera and getting your film set up and the lighting right and maybe having to do your makeup the best people on YouTube do this super well but obviously it would cost a fortune to create a room like this in your house that looks like these but this is where hey Jen comes in you can make

yourself into to an animated character super easily to do this just take a good quality photo of yourself and come back to Mid Journey we're going to ask it to animate the photo and create a cool volumetric lighting background I used a photo of my friend and here's what mine came up with now we can come back to hen and upload our new animated Avatar so we can start using him we can upload our own voice over if we want it to be ourselves or you can just use one of the pre-made voices that sounds

somewhat legit since I already showed you how to use 11 Labs I'll just use a simple one for this video so here's what it sounds s like welcome to the new era of video Creation with hey Jen simply type your script to get started so those two methods were great and obviously light yours ahead of any animated platforms we've seen in the past but the biggest question I get on my channel is how to create an animated character like the one I use now in full transparency I've thought a lot about whether or not I

should share this process but when I started this channel I made a commitment to myself that I would do my best to always be real with you guys and show you what actually works so finally I've decided I should share so we can all continue to push each other creatively with that said please hit subscribe if you're new here because I have a lot more information to drop soon but for now let me show you how I created this animated character so to get started you'll need to have an iPad and an i pencil we're

going to be downloading a software called procreate procreate is one of the most advanced painting apps ever designed for a mobile device it was created to work in harmony with iPad Pro and apple pencil and essentially gives you the feeling of a real world drawing with the power of digital art people create all sorts of masterpieces with this app but today I'm going to show you how to draw a sketch of our character you'll want to choose a brush size and really think about who your audience is and what kind of character they would vibe

with like for example my channel is all about ways to make money online with AI in the future so I decided to make my avatar look like this and this is what I came up with as a sketch to start once you're happy you'll be coloring in your avatar you can go with a cartoon look and keep it super simple but I wanted to optimize mine to be futuristic so I made it look like this first we'll have to separate the objects that we want to animate with Adobe Photoshop then we'll import all of them

over to After Effects and animate the objects on After Effects by playing with the key frames to give it life in After Effects we can make the fan spin we can make our character speak and move his head slightly but you'll have to play with the key frames and adjust the timing and easing which can be a little complicated but if you're already good with After Effects you should be able to get started in no time now look I know what some of you are probably thinking and you're right this is complic stuff for context

it took me about 3 weeks in total to make my animated character given the results I've had it was definitely worth it so if you have the patience I think it's worth giving a shot for your content but if all the video editing and procreate stuff does go way over your head and you'd prefer someone should just do it for you my design and editing team is ready and able to fulfill orders but I will just let you know that these take time and are not cheap I'll drop our email below if that's something you

want to talk about again the whole purpose of having an animated character is to make your account better than the average Joe it's cool because it allows your audience to connect with a character rather than just delivering boring information basically you'll get all the perks of having a face without actually exposing yourself this will all ultimately get you more views reach and followers so you can build a sustainable income online again guys if you found this video helpful please drop a like and a comment it means a lot every time you do and I do

my best to read all of them so I can continue to improve and deliver what you're looking for thanks for watching watching and please subscribe for more ways to make money online
