Why Your Nephew Charging $200 for Videos Is Robbing You Blind | ContentProHub

Last Thursday at 2:47 PM, I walked into my nephew's room unannounced.

What I saw on his computer screen made my blood boil.

There it was, clear as day: An AI video editor doing ALL the work while he played Fortnite on his other monitor. The same videos he charged me $200 each for. The AI? It cost him $12/month.

I'm 58 years old. Built my landscaping business from nothing. And here's this 22-year-old kid—my own sister's son—taking me for a fool.

The Conversation That Changed Everything

"How long does it really take you to edit these videos?" I asked.

He minimized Fortnite. Stammered. Then admitted: "About 10 minutes with the AI tools."

10 minutes. For $200.

That's $1,200 an hour he was making off his uncle who "doesn't understand technology."

Here's the truth bomb: EVERYONE editing your videos is using AI now. They're just not telling you.

The Industry's Dirty Little Secret

I started digging. Called other business owners. Posted in my industry Facebook groups. The responses poured in:

"My social media manager charges $1,500/month. Found out she spends 2 hours total using AI tools." - Robert, 61, Phoenix
"Been paying a 'video expert' $300 per video. Caught him copy-pasting my script into an AI tool that did everything automatically." - Barbara, 54, Dallas
"My web designer's 'custom graphics'? All AI-generated. Still charged me $5,000." - Mike, 49, Seattle

We're not stupid. We're just busy running real businesses. And they know it.

The Math That Made Me Sick

What I Was Paying (Monthly)

  • Video editing (Jake): $800
  • Thumbnail design (Fiverr): $400
  • Social media graphics: $300
  • Blog post formatting: $250

Total: $1,750/month

What They Were Actually Paying for AI Tools

  • AI video editor: $12
  • AI thumbnail maker: $8
  • AI graphic generator: $10
  • AI content formatter: $7

Their Total Cost: $37/month

They Were Keeping 98% Profit

While telling us "video editing is complex" and "good design takes time."

The Day I Took Back Control

That Thursday afternoon, I made a decision. If a 22-year-old playing Fortnite could create professional videos in 10 minutes, so could I.

I found an all-in-one AI system. Set it up in an afternoon. Created my first video that evening.

My wife couldn't tell the difference. Neither could my customers.

BEFORE (The Nephew Era)

  • 4 videos per month
  • $800 cost
  • 2-week turnaround
  • Guilt trips about "supporting family"

AFTER (The AI Era)

  • 20+ videos per month
  • $37 cost
  • Same-day creation
  • Complete independence

Here's What Nobody Wants You to Know

Those "creative professionals" charging you hundreds? They're middlemen. Nothing more.

They prey on business owners who:

But here's the thing:You're not taking away their income. They're taking away yours.

The Only Question That Matters

How much longer will you let them?

Every month you wait, you're handing over $1,700+ to people using $37 worth of AI tools.

That's $20,400 a year. For what? So your nephew can buy a new gaming PC with your money?

P.S. I didn't fire Jake immediately. I gave him a choice: Teach me everything or lose the gig. He chose Fortnite.

Now I create better videos than he ever did. In less time. For 98% less cost.

Your move.
