🔍 So what is Veo 3 and why is everyone talking about it?
Veo 3 is Google’s newest AI video model, and it’s easily one of the most powerful AI video generators out right now.
It lets you turn text or image prompts into cinematic, animated, or realistic video clips — with built-in sound effects and voiceovers that feel studio-quality.
Some quick highlights:
📹 1080p native quality
🎧 Auto audio (yes, even voiceovers + ambient sound)
🙌 No filming. No editing. No on-camera work.
Now, it’s not completely magic out of the box — you’ll still need to experiment with prompt wording to get great results. But for creators willing to experiment a little, it’s one of the lowest-lift ways to make scroll-stopping content right now.
And when you pair that with TikTok’s Creator Rewards Program?
You’ve got a real shot at building a faceless, monetized channel — fast.

💡 The Strategy (It’s Simpler Than You Think)
Step 1: Use Veo 3 to create a scroll-stopping AI video. Use this guide to master VEO 3 prompt creation: Mastering Prompts for VEO 3
Step 2: Stitch together multiple Veo 3 generated clips into a 1-minute+ compilation so it qualifies for monetization using a simple editing tool like Capcut or Canva.
Step 3: Upload to TikTok. Get traction by publishing content consistently → qualify for TikTok’s Creator Rewards Program
Step 4: Monetize as your views climb
To qualify for TikTok monetization, you’ll need:
10,000 followers
100,000 video views in the past 30 days
Be 18+ and in an eligible country (or use a VPN)
NOTE: You could also cross-post your content to YouTube to qualify for Shorts monetization.
That’s it.
You don’t need fancy editing skills.
You don’t need to be on camera.
And best of all — you can start experimenting with this for free (ways to access VEO 3 are covered below).

📺 Real Examples (That Are Working Right Now):
These are actual channels I came across — all active, all monetized or on their way, all powered by AI:
@planeta.surreal – food eating food 🤯 (21M views on 1 vid)
@planeta.surreal
@crunchandcalm – glass fruit ASMR ✂️
@crunchandcalm
@averagemcdonaldscustomer – hilarious fast food skits 🍟
@averagemcdonaldscustomer
@yetivloglife – POV vlogs from a yeti (yes, really)
@yetivloglife
@aigamerdailybasis – martial arts vs. boxing showdowns 🥋
Other honorable mentions:
@asmr.ai_smr – wooden fruit cutting ASMR videos 🪵 (different sound compared to cutting glass )
@jazmmmmmmmm – AI mukbang 🍜
All of them are leaning into micro-niche, entertaining, or oddly satisfying content.
And they’re winning. You can use the above ideas to craft your own micro-niche channel.

🛠️ Sample Veo 3 Prompt
To create an ASMR volcano lava eating video in Veo 3 like the one I reviewed HERE, you need a detailed, structured prompt that captures the surreal visuals, immersive ASMR audio, and cinematic quality of the scene.
Below is a carefully crafted prompt based on best practices for Veo 3 and insights from ASMR video trends:
Prompt:
Create a hyper-realistic 4K ASMR video in a close-up shot featuring a young woman with soft makeup, glossy red lipstick, and long, flowing dark hair, wearing a black silk top. She is seated at a smooth obsidian table in a dimly lit, smoky volcanic cavern with glowing red embers in the background, creating a warm, surreal atmosphere. The camera focuses tightly on her face and hands, capturing every detail with a shallow depth of field (40mm f/1.4 lens, cinematic lighting). She delicately holds a pair of sleek, metallic tongs and slowly picks up a piece of molten lava rock, glowing orange and red, from a stone plate. The lava rock gently bubbles and sizzles. As she takes a slow, deliberate bite, the audio captures crisp, immersive ASMR sounds: a soft crunch as her teeth break the surface, a subtle gurgling of molten lava, and faint sizzling as the lava oozes slightly. Her lips move slowly, emphasizing the texture of the lava rock, with occasional soft chewing sounds and a gentle hum of satisfaction. The camera occasionally shifts to a 45-degree angle to highlight the glowing lava texture and her glossy lips. Background audio includes a low, resonant volcanic rumble and faint dripping sounds, with no music or dialogue. The video is 8 seconds long, with no on-screen text or subtitles, maintaining a dreamy, immersive vibe.
Key Tips for Prompting Veo 3:
Visual Details: Specify the subject (e.g., young woman), setting (volcanic cavern), and camera work (close-up, shallow depth of field) to ensure cinematic quality.
Audio Elements: Explicitly describe ASMR sounds (crunch, gurgle, sizzle) and background ambiance (volcanic rumble, dripping) to leverage Veo 3’s native audio generation.
Surreal Focus: Highlight the impossible nature of eating lava rock to align with viral AI ASMR trends, like glass fruit cutting.
Consistency: Keep descriptions precise and consistent to maintain character and setting continuity, as Veo 3 generates similar outputs for similar prompts.
Length and Style: Veo 3 typically generates 8-second clips, ideal for short-form platforms like TikTok or YouTube Shorts. Specify no subtitles, as Veo 3 may produce inaccurate text.
💰 The Monetization Angle
Once you're eligible, TikTok pays you for qualified views on videos over 1 minute.
Here’s the typical range:
$0.40–$1.00 per 1,000 views
So if your video hits 1M views → you’re looking at $400–$1,000+ per video
The more engaging your content is, the higher your payout.
And honestly, we’re seeing creators with videos just 2 weeks old crossing that 1M mark — with zero editing background.

🧠 Final Thought:
Veo 3 is just one of many ways to create viral, faceless content right now.
But the real opportunity? It’s not just the tool, it’s the style of content that’s working.
If you understand why it’s going viral, you can recreate this format using other AI tools too.
I’ll break that down in an upcoming tutorial so keep an eye out.
In the meantime, the best thing you can do?
Test, post, and start building your momentum.
You’ve got this.
