How a $297 Video Outsold $10K Coaching Funnels
She had burnout, $297, and one shot. Here’s what worked — and why it sold out in 2 days.
Let’s be honest: most small business video ads don’t sell.
They ramble. They beg. They use fancy transitions, throw in some royalty-free music — and nothing happens.
No leads. No DMs. No “sold out.” Just silence.
Here’s what actually works.
👩💻 The Client
A coach came to me mid-launch. She’d spent weeks prepping an offer — but was out of energy, money, and hope.
All she had left? $297 and a hunch that AI could help.
“Can you make something that actually connects?”
I said, “Absolutely. But it won’t look like an ad.”
🧪 What We Built (With AI)
We used just four tools:

ChatGPT – To write the script
ElevenLabs – For a warm, personal voiceover
Kling – To build the visual scenes (use link for 50% bonus credits your first month)
LALAL.ai – To strip music stems for cinematic mood
Here’s the 4-part structure we used:
1. Open with Truth
“You’re not lazy. You’re just exhausted.”

2. Show the Struggle
Quick cuts of burnout moments: unopened emails, cold coffee, mental fog
3. Flip the Script
Reframe: “It’s not your fault. But it is your time.”
4. Invite With Clarity
“Join the reset. 6 spots left.”
📈 The Result?
