Trust me when I say we have entered the future! The era of artificial intelligence is here, and the influencer industry will change upside down. It's time to witness and be a part of the change.

AI influencers are revolutionizing content creation and influencer marketing. Whether aiming for TikTok stardom, Instagram reels, YouTube fame, or even a dedicated OnlyFans following, AI influencers can help you build an audience and boost your earnings. The potential for financial gain is substantial, making this an exhilarating opportunity for content creators, OnlyFans Managers, and marketers.

What is an AI influencer?

So what do we understand from the word 'Influencer'? A personality or a social media entity that creates content around a specific niche. Each creator has their own set of unique qualities or talents.

AI influencers are the same, but the catch is that you can turn your imagination into reality with the help of AI influencers. You can create your AI influencers as you want, with customizable physical characteristics, voice, knowledge, etc.

The best part is that you can create multiple AI influencers of different niches and platforms, giving you complete control over your content creation.

Influencer marketing global market size

Just 2 years from now, the Influencer marketing industry was valued at $16 billion. The number has been climbing since then, standing at $24 billion (today).

But AI influencers make a LOT of money

A Spanish AI influencer, Aitana, reportedly bags around $11,000 monthly. This is bonkers! The photos that she posts are entirely AI-generated.

It’s surprising and not surprising at the same time. People found an opportunity, took action, and created a whole new genre of AI-made content. Soon enough, we will see a rise in AI models in OnlyFans and a number of OFM (OnlyFans Managers), generating millions of dollars in revenue.

Now, let's address the question that's on your mind.

How to get a face for my AI influencers?

The process might seem complex, but I'll guide you through multiple ways to create your own AI influencer and create content right away.

Get ready because I've saved the best for last. Let's explore the exciting world of AI influencers!

First things first, let's talk about the face you want to use for the swap. You have a few possibilities.

1. Use your own face

If you want to use your face, I recommend getting a clear picture. Just one picture is enough! Make sure your face and facial features are clearly visible like in the above picture.

2. Use generative AI tools to create a face

Secondly, if you want to go with AI-generated images, you can use MidJourney, Dall-E, stable diffusion, or ChatGPT. Give a descriptive prompt to generate images. However, there is still a possibility that the images that you generate will have a bit of a cartoonish touch to them.

I would highly recommend you watch this video for generating hyper-realistic images with Midjourney.

3. Use Random Face Generators

Lastly, you can download an image from the Random Face Generator that will give you a random picture of a person who doesn't exist.

So now we have a face with us. Let’s move to the next step.

How to create content for my AI influencer?

The AI content you see mainly on X (Formerly Twitter), Threads, Instagram, and YouTube is created by face swapping. The term itself is self-explanatory. The first stage is to create a model utilizing Midjourney, stable diffusion, Dall E, and others. Addressing the challenge that these Gen-AI tools may fail to make a model with the same face. That's when face swapping or face locking comes into play.

AI generated videos to create content

Let's have a look at AI video generators. There are multiple options to pick from. Just a heads up, some tools may claim it’s free but there might be some restrictions. So, be careful before picking the tool.

Heygen will help you create long-from and short-from content. Let's do a demonstration. So, I have used the free plan of HeyGen, and here’s here's have got:

  • The free plan only gives me 3 videos per month. I cannot create my own avatar, but use the free ones in the library
  • I used the face swap feature, but it doesn’t fit perfectly with the free avatar that I picked.
  • The lip-sync issue that I mentioned above occurred, and the overall expression and tone are quite robotic.
  • You cannot download the video directly in the free plan.

However, it's important to note that this method works better for images than videos. Creating content with fully AI generated videos with the same face and physical features is not as satisfactory and may not keep the audience’s interest. The overall body movement and the possibility of different video poses are not as realistic in a dynamic or real-life background.

Remember, I said, I have saved the best for the last. So here it is. Introducing Ultraswap, one of the most advanced AI face swaps and AI content generators. Before we move ahead, allow me to showcase what you can expect from Ultraswap.

All the above features are in one tool. It works exceptionally well regardless of the platform or niche. Here's a sample of me creating my own AI model with a dedicated tutorial.

Ultraswap does a great job at keeping the quality of both pictures and videos. You don’t have to wait in long queues to get your pictures generated. The wait is barely 10 seconds, and the images are generated in bulk with top-notch quality and face locking.

So, I am a gym guy, and I want an aesthetic body. So first step is choosing a picture and video where I want my face to be swapped.

FYI: I picked some pictures from Pinterest. Each picture has its own complexity. At the same time, I clicked a picture of myself. So, let's check the results we get.

I think it would be unfair if I brag about the photos. Instead, you should be the judge and see whether it’s up to the mark or not. Until then, let’s take another challenge: how well will Ultra Swap perform in terms of videos?

So, I have uploaded a video along with my face. Let’s see if we get a high quality Faceswap video! Huge shout out to Casey Kelly. Bro, you have such a great physique. So I picked one of his Short videos and face-swapped it with mine.

Conclusion

Let me clarify a few things as well. If you want to create 100% AI-generated face-swapping videos, you have to keep a few things in mind.

  • A 10-second video usually takes 60 seconds to faceswap. If we look at short-form content (reels, TikTok, YT shorts, etc.), they are around 30 seconds on average. If we do the math, it will take 3 minutes to faceswap a 30 seconds video, which is insanely fast.
  • Lastly, it’s the lip-sync. If the voice, expression, and lip-sync are not aligned well, then the performance will have a very uncanny feel. That’s why Ultraswap is so great, the lip-sync faceswap follows the lips perfectly.

Now, let’s come to the main question: Is it expensive? Well, let’s do some math. I generated five images with 1 Ultra Swap coin and a video with 3 coins. So, with 60 coins, which will cost me $6, I can generate over 300 images or 20 videos, which I believe will be enough for a social media account for one month (If we pick the best pictures)!
