👋 Welcome Back to DG Mastery

This week, I want to show you a simple way to create short-form AI videos — for free — using just your phone.

You can use this to experiment with content, test creative ideas, and start building an audience… even if you’re starting from zero.

We’ll walk through:

• How to generate AI videos using Veo 2 for free

• How to generate traffic from those videos to your Beehiiv newsletter

• A lean setup you can build on — no overwhelm, no overthinking

Let’s dive in! 👇

🎬 Create AI Videos with Veo 2 Inside YouTube Shorts

Veo 2 is Google’s AI video generator, now built into YouTube Shorts via a feature called Dream Screen.

You type a prompt, and it generates a short video based on your input — right inside the YouTube app.

▶ Option 1: AI-Generated Video Backgrounds

1. Open the YouTube app

2. Tap the Create (+) icon → Choose Create a Short

3. Select Green Screen → Then Dream Screen

4. Type a prompt like: “Tropical beach at sunset, cinematic 18mm lens”

5. Pick a thumbnail → YouTube generates the AI background

6. Record your video in front of it → Add text or music

7. Post your Short

▶ Option 2: Standalone AI Video Clips

1. Tap Create a Short → Tap Add → Tap Create

2. Type a prompt like: “A futuristic library being built in time-lapse”

3. Pick your favorite thumbnail → Tap Create Video

4. Add it to your timeline → Edit, preview, and publish

🧠 Keep It Simple: Stack AI Clips, Add Text, and Build Consistency

You can use the Add button in the Shorts editor to keep stacking clips — whether it’s multiple Veo videos or a mix of real footage and AI.

Inside the app, you can:

• Add text

• Record voiceovers

• Add music and effects

• Rearrange scenes

What used to take hours now takes a few minutes — and it’s all from your phone.

Keep posting interesting content this way, and be sure to:

• Add a CTA to your profile or pin it in the comments

• Link to your Beehiiv newsletter so viewers know where to go next

As you stay consistent, traffic starts to flow naturally. People who enjoy your Shorts will want more — and that’s where your newsletter comes in.

This works in any niche: AI, tech, fashion, storytelling, education, productivity.
And it’s 100% free to start.

💡 Example Flow: Short → Email List

Let’s say you create an eye-catching Veo 2 video using a prompt like:

You overlay some text and add a quick voiceover saying:

Then, include a clear call-to-action:

That link can go anywhere — your Beehiiv newsletter, a Notion guide, a landing page, or an affiliate link to a product you use.

It’s a simple way to turn your content into relevant traffic — and you’re not selling anything. You’re just showing something interesting, and letting curiosity do the work.

This flow works especially well when paired with short, helpful content that builds trust over time.
