Last year, I was stuck in a ₹35,000/month job, struggling to pay bills. Today, I earn ₹75,000-1,00,000 monthly using just 3 AI video tools. No fancy equipment, no team—just smart automation. Here’s everything you need to replicate my success.

How I Discovered AI Video Tools Changed Everything

Six months ago, video editing felt impossible. Every client project took 8-10 hours. I was burning out for ₹35K/month while freelancers with AI tools were making triple.

Then I discovered AI video tools. Within 90 days:

  • Client delivery time: 8 hours → 45 minutes
  • Monthly income: ₹35,000 → ₹75,000+
  • Client capacity: 3-4 → 15-20 per month

The secret? These 3 AI tools that do 95% of the work.
