Live, hands-on workshops where business owners, marketers, and creators make AI content, learn how to get it in front of people, and discover ways to turn those skills into revenue.
Bring a laptop — you will be building on it all through the event. We’ll bring the exercises, the prompts, and a team that helps you get the work done.
This isn’t film school.
And it definitely isn’t another sit-there-all-day AI seminar.
Social Profit Academy has been putting business owners in rooms, helping them actually implement, and teaching practical ways to turn traffic and ideas into revenue for years.
These are real attendees from earlier Social Profit Academy events.

Our promise
You won’t go home with notes about what AI might do one day. You’ll go home having done it.
In two days you’ll pick up somewhere between six and fifteen skills you have never used before:
And you won’t just learn the skills.
Throughout the two days, we’ll show you Money Maps for turning those skills into potential revenue — from local-business services and AI products to paid traffic, ecommerce and simple software.
Then you’ll build your own personal plan toward $10,000 a month based on the path that makes the most sense for you.
Learn the skill. See how it could make money. Build your plan.
The $10,000 is a path, not a promise. We’ll show you how people structure the offers, find buyers and deliver the work — but what it earns depends entirely on how much of it you actually do when you get home. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something worse than a workshop.
Why this is different
You know the routine.
Three days. Four to six speakers a day. Everybody has a breakthrough to share and something to sell.
You take notes until your hand hurts. You miss a session because you’re exhausted. You miss another because two speakers you wanted to hear are on at the same time.
Then you fly home with a notebook full of ideas.
What did you build?
What can you open on your computer and show a business owner? What can you use? What can you sell?
That’s the question behind this event.
At the Viral Hijackathon, we’ll show you what to make, demonstrate how to make it, and give you time to build your own version. Jeff, Ryan, and the team will walk the room while you work.
If you get stuck, raise your hand. If your first result isn’t right, we’ll help you improve it. We’ve built time into the schedule to help you finish.
You’ll go home with more than notes about what AI might do.
The format
Russell Brunson made Funnel Hackathons a thing. We’re doing the same kind of roll-up-your-sleeves work with AI content.
We call it a Viral Hijackathon.
You’ll find content that’s already getting attention. You’ll study the hook, pacing, visuals, and idea behind it. Then you’ll use what you learned to make something original for your business, a product, or a client.
You’re not stealing someone’s video and slapping your logo on it. You’re learning from a pattern that works—then making your own.
Don’t spend six weeks staring at a blank screen waiting for inspiration.
Find the pattern. Hijack the lesson. Make your version.
Then learn how to make money with the skill.
The opportunity
Your own business
Create content for your own business.
Local businesses
Walk into a local business with examples on your laptop and offer to make content for them.
Product video
Make product videos with AI characters that present without you on camera.
Ads that run
Develop ads — the angle, the creative, the copy, and the call to action.
Products & software
Sell digital or physical products, or build a simple software tool around a problem a customer needs solved.
Platform monetization
Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and Instagram all pay creators whose content performs. Your AI video is what earns it.
Throughout the workshop, we’ll talk about who buys this work, what you could deliver, and how people price it.
Want to build an AI content business toward $10,000 a month? We’ll show you how people structure the offers and do the work so you can understand the path and choose where to start.
Buying a ticket won’t make you $10,000 next month. Learning to create something useful, finding buyers, and delivering it consistently is the work. We’ll help you get started on that work.
$49,000
in commissions we paid out
Paid to our own affiliates over six months for selling AI products with AI video. This one is our number — we know it because we paid it. No products of their own, no inventory, no face on camera.
$11,000
in three weeks — from 350 followers
A friend of Jeff’s in the UK built an AI model, launched her on Instagram and took donations through Buy Me A Coffee. Three hundred and fifty followers. Not three hundred and fifty thousand.
$150,000
from one faceless channel
Kevis. 2.4 billion views, six monetized channels, around $20,000 a month, and $7,000 from one Short on its own. He is not a client and not a student — his numbers are his own public claims, and we include him because the use case is the point.
The Viral Video Money Map
This might be one of the simplest Money Maps we’ll show you.
Because today, AI can help you build almost every piece of the process.
01
Find the idea
Use AI to research problems people are already trying to solve and identify an information product worth creating.
02
Create the product
Turn that idea into a $27–$97 PDF, ebook, guide, playbook, mini-course or other simple digital product.
03
Create the content
Find viral ideas and angles. Write the hooks and scripts. Create the images, characters, voiceovers and videos.
04
Build the offer
Use AI to help name the product, position it, write the sales copy and create the page that sells it.
05
Get the traffic
Publish the videos to social platforms where the distribution is already built in.
06
Turn attention into sales
The video gets the attention. Your product gives that attention somewhere to go.
And you don’t necessarily need millions of views.
Imagine 500 people watch one of your free videos.
Behind it is a $97 information product.
If 2% buy, that’s 10 customers.
500 views → 10 customers → $970 in sales
Now imagine you have multiple videos working.
Or one catches fire.
Or you build several $27–$97 products around problems your audience already wants solved.
That’s the unlock:
You still have to find the right market, make something people actually want and do the work to get it in front of them. There’s no guarantee 2% will buy.
But the machinery that once required writers, designers, video editors, researchers, developers and a traffic budget?
A hell of a lot of it can now be built from your laptop with your AI agent.
Getting paid
After the exercises, we’ll talk about ways the skill could earn money.
Who could buy it? What would you give them? Could you charge for a project, a monthly service, a license, or ongoing management?
You’ll hear different ways to earn from content, product videos, advertising assets, local-business services, and simple software. You’ll start identifying the kind of offer you want to make first.
We’ll also show you a practical virtual-assistant hiring process for when you need help delivering the work: write the job description, test whether applicants follow instructions, narrow the field, and interview your top three.
The hiring plan: post the job Friday, aim to hire the following Friday, and have your new team member start Monday.
The schedule
The six main teaching sessions are 90 minutes each, for nine hours of guided instruction and practice.
We’re planning roughly 30 to 45 minutes of hands-on work per session, plus a dedicated one-hour Day 1 build and catch-up clinic. That gives you an estimated four to five and a half hours to build, practice, and get help.
There’s also orientation, the Money Map session, questions, and closing time.
Here’s what you’ll work on.
9 hrs
Guided instruction
4–5.5 hrs
Hands-on build time
8
Working sessions
We start by making things.
You’ll explore Viral Hijack’s Prowler to find content that’s already getting attention. You’ll pick a video, study what makes it work, and use the Hijacker to develop an original idea of your own.
Then you’ll make a short video using a master prompt, create an image in Painter, and try making music.
By the end of the session, you’ll have made something instead of watching somebody else make it.
Picture Claude wired directly into Viral Hijack, the two of you kicking an idea around until it’s good.
Then Claude writes the prompts. The video prompts, the image prompts, the lot — and builds the thing with you, inside the platform, while you talk it through.
That’s VH Connect. (The plumbing is called an MCP. You will never need to think about that again.)
No more hunting for a prompt someone posted, pasting it in, and hoping. No more pounding your head on the desk because the result came back wrong and you’ve no idea which word to change.
This is the part that makes AI fun again.
Now we take what you’ve learned and point it at a real business.
You’ll create AI-powered content around an actual offer, customer and message — and learn how to turn those skills into something a local business could actually understand and buy.
Then we’ll give you the Local Business Money Map: service packages we’ve developed ranging from roughly $300 to $3,000 per month per client, how to find businesses to offer them to, and how to deliver the work without doing everything yourself.
And here’s the simple math: 4 clients × $2,500/month = $10,000/month.
You don’t need 100 clients. You need four at that package level.
That’s the kind of math we’ll help you map out.
Don’t sell “AI.” Sell what AI helps you create for the business.
Now we turn AI creativity into things people can actually buy.
First, what UGC is: user-generated content. The unpolished clip of an ordinary person holding a product in their own kitchen, talking to camera. No studio, no crew, no script that sounds like a script.
It outsells polished advertising for one blunt reason — it doesn’t look like advertising. People scroll past ads. They stop for someone who appears to be telling them something.
The catch has always been supply. You either film it yourself, or you pay creators per video and wait on them. And you need a lot of variations, because you cannot tell in advance which one people will watch.
AI UGC removes that constraint. The presenter is generated, the product is real, and you can build twenty versions of the same pitch in an afternoon and let the platform tell you which one works. You will also learn to label them as AI, which the platforms now require.
That is the part of this event that delivers the promise at the top of this page most directly: the face on screen never has to be yours.
You’ll create product videos with AI characters, explore T-shirts and print-on-demand products, and see how AI can handle creative work that used to take days — or require designers, photographers and complicated setups.
Then we’ll open up several Money Maps.
Jeff previously built T-shirt businesses doing $20,000–$30,000 a month in sales. Now AI can create the designs while print-on-demand can make, sell and ship the products without you ever touching a shirt.
We’ll also show you the audience-growth strategy that recently got 34 out of 34 customers to 5,000 Facebook Page followers in under 10 days, and how reaching those audience levels can open additional product-monetization opportunities.
Create the product. Create the traffic. Connect the two.
Great content still needs the right people to see it.
You’ll build a Facebook Page, then learn how to turn an offer into an actual Meta ad — the angle, creative, copy, call to action and campaign behind it.
Then we’ll give you the Meta Ads Money Map with two ways to use the skill: run ads for your own products and offers, or get paid to run them for other businesses.
Jeff recently used this process to help generate more than $55,000 in sales in about six weeks from an offer AI helped create, write and publish.
And if your goal is a $10K/month service business, we’ll show you the client-and-pricing math to map out your own path there.
Learn to buy traffic — and suddenly you don’t have to sit around hoping the algorithm sends it.
By now, you’ll have seen several ways these AI skills could turn into money.
Now we slow down and make it about you.
We’ll give you five questions designed to help you figure out what you actually want, which Money Map fits you best, what you could launch first, what’s standing in your way, and what needs to happen over the next 90 days.
Then you’ll sit down and build your own plan toward $10,000 a month.
No twelve new businesses. No chasing every shiny object.
One target. One path. One first move.
So when Monday morning comes, you know exactly what you’re working toward.
Now we go beyond using AI to create content — and use it to build tools and do actual work.
Viral Hijack itself was built with AI. Jeff and Ryan will show you how to find a problem worth solving and build a simple app or software tool around it — without needing to know how to code.
But here’s where it gets really interesting.
Jeff used to train VAs to handle repetitive campaign work. Now he’s trained AI on his actual advertising process and templates, connected it directly to Meta, and lets AI handle much of that work while he monitors the numbers.
Then you’ll get the AI App Money Map: build for yourself, sell a custom solution to a business, or turn a useful tool into recurring monthly revenue.
Don’t just ask what AI can make. Ask what job you can teach it to do.
This is where we close the loops.
Bring us the thing you’re stuck on, ask us to demonstrate something again, or throw us a real problem from your business and let’s see what AI can do with it.
Jeff and Ryan will answer questions, tackle requested demos, and help you connect what you’ve learned over the two days to what you actually want to accomplish.
You won’t leave wondering: “Okay… now what?”
You’ll leave knowing what you built, which Money Map you want to pursue, and what your next move is.
Two days, a room, and everyone building on their own laptop.
Who’s teaching
So why should you follow either of us?
You shouldn’t.
At least, not because an AI-written sales letter tells you to.
Jeff and Ryan have each spent over 20 years selling. Between them, they’ve done over $40 million in sales.
That’s a claim. Look at the work behind it.
Jeff has been selling since 2003 — more than $25 million in products and services of his own, built across outsourcing, Facebook marketing and ecommerce, with a long run as a top-earning super affiliate along the way.
He launched the first Social Profit Academy a decade ago and held 15 events around the world. People loved those events because they made progress in the room and went home with results that might otherwise have taken weeks or months to create.
Today he runs Smairt AI and builds Facebook pages across dozens of micro-niches — one of them past 1.4 million followers. He tests everything on his own accounts first: his newest page crossed 10,000 followers as the pilot for the methods you’ll be using in this room.
AI won’t replace people. People who use AI properly will replace the people who don’t.
Ryan has spent more than twenty years on the other side of the same problem: what actually makes someone act. He learned it inside a direct-response operation turning over nine figures in profit, and then spent two decades testing it everywhere the answer might change — direct mail, affiliate, SaaS, e-commerce, paid ads, local business.
It did not change. He became a leading JVZoo vendor, launched a SaaS that took more than 10,000 subscriptions in five days, partnered with Kevin Harrington of Shark Tank, and helped build a major Amazon supplement brand.
For the last three years he has been putting AI to work inside businesses he actually operates — content, advertising, video, lead generation, follow-up, automation, software. That is the difference worth caring about: he is not going to teach you AI theory for two days. He is going to show you what he uses, and then help you build with it.
My career went from stamps and envelopes to prompts and AI agents. The technology changed. Human psychology didn’t.
Together, they’ll show you their work, explain the business behind it, answer your questions, and help you make something yourself.
Watch them teach. Then decide whether you want to keep learning from them.

Skill level
Yes. This workshop is built for beginners.
Maybe you’ve tried ChatGPT or Claude a few times. Maybe you’ve avoided AI because every explanation turns into a pile of technical terms. Maybe you’re still skeptical and want to see for yourself what these tools can actually do.
You don’t need to know what GPT or MCP stands for before you arrive.
In each working session, you’ll see the finished result first. We’ll show you the steps, demonstrate the important parts, and give you a tested prompt you can copy from your digital workbook. Then you’ll make your own version with help in the room.
You don’t have to learn all of AI in two days. You need to make a few useful things and learn how to make them again.
Advanced prompters, you’ve been warned: If you already make AI videos, ads, and software all the time, the early exercises will probably feel basic. This workshop is built to get beginners moving.
What you’ll be using
Every exercise over the two days runs inside Viral Hijack. So it’s worth explaining what it is and why we built it.
If you’ve tried making AI video before, you’ve probably met the alternatives. Higgsfield. OpenArt. A dozen others. You sign up, you log in, and you’re looking at fifty choices across nineteen underlying platforms, each burning credits at a different rate, most of them priced for a studio.
Most people close the tab inside a minute. Not because they couldn’t learn it — because nothing told them where to start.
Viral Hijack was built for marketers and business owners instead of for engineers. Fewer decisions, clearer paths, and a lot less money per video. You come in with an idea and leave with a finished asset, rather than spending your first hour deciding which of nineteen engines to gamble on.
That doesn’t make it a toy. There’s enough under the hood to hold the attention of people making genuinely good short-form and long-form AI work — the difference is that the depth is there when you want it, not standing in the doorway on your first day.
Almost nobody has seen this yet.
A small handful of people have been let into Viral Hijack so far. Everyone in the room gets it for both days, with 2,500 credits on the account and the people who built it standing next to you while you use it.
These two days are where we debut it properly. You’ll be among the first people outside that handful to put it to work.
In the room
We’ve planned time for you to work and time for you to catch up.
Jeff, Ryan, and the team will circulate during the exercises. You’ll have a printed workbook and a digital version containing prompts you can copy, paste, and customize.
You won’t need to photograph every slide or piece together half a prompt from notes after you get home.
Raise your hand and someone comes over. That’s the whole point of doing it in a room.
Every attendee receives 2,500 workshop credits to make videos, images, and other assets across both days.
Use them. Try things. We’ll be there to help.
If you use them all completing the exercises, we’ll add 500 more credits.
Your credits switch on the morning of Day 1 and expire the day after the event ends. Everything you create stays accessible inside your Viral Hijack account.
These examples show what’s possible. You won’t become an expert AI filmmaker in two days—that takes practice. You’ll learn enough to start making useful content and discover what you want to learn next.
Made with the same tools
Three minutes, start to finish. The track is AI. Every frame is AI. The human part was the prompts, the direction, and knowing which takes to throw away.
Look at what it is doing rather than how it looks: the same man, in a bar, on a desert highway, under a sunrise, across a three-minute cut, still recognisably himself. Holding a character together across a whole piece is the hard part of AI video, and it is the difference between a clip and a body of work.
If AI music or AI music videos are your thing — or you have been curious whether this is really possible yet — this is the kind of thing you'll learn to build in the room.
Plan your travel
The night before
Join us at the bar for snacks, drinks, and introductions. Meet the people you’ll be working beside. Don’t hide in your room.
Day 1 and Day 2
The workshop days. Meals during the event are included.
Night of Day 1
The optional VIP dinner. Swap Day 1 stories and successes with Jeff, Ryan, and other attendees who want more time together. The VIP dinner is priced separately.
The day after
Fly home. That way you’ll get both full days, including the software build and final demos.
A working laptop is required — not optional. Every session is hands-on, and without one there is nothing for you to build on for two days. Bring its charger, and check your charging port before you travel rather than at the venue. A tablet will not do the job.
The season
Fall finds. Halloween. Black Friday. Cyber Monday. Christmas.
This is the stretch ecommerce creators wait all year for. The feeds fill with products, buyers start shopping, and the people who are already positioned take swing after swing while the opportunity is hot.
Session 04 is where we cover it: how people find products worth selling, how an AI character presents one without you on camera, and what the offers around it look like. Session 05 is how you get it in front of buyers.
Then look at the dates on the buttons below.
Tampa is October 2nd and 3rd — the front edge of the quarter. Learn this that weekend and the entire holiday run is still in front of you.
The later stops teach exactly the same skills, and this season comes round every year. But if it’s Q4 of 2026 you want to be ready for, the October rooms are the ones that leave you the runway to use it.
The skill is the same in October and in January. The calendar is not.
Nobody can promise what your content will earn, and we won’t. You don’t need an earnings guarantee to understand that the holidays happen whether you’re ready for them or not.

The offer
Two-day business events regularly run $2,000 to $5,000. Most of that money buys you a seat facing a stage: six speakers a day, a notebook that fills up, and a flight home to a to-do list you never start.
We priced this at $997 because what we are selling is not stage time. It is the two days, the exercises, the prompts, the credits, and a team walking the room while you build — so the thing you take home is on your laptop, not in your notes.
Compare it to the cheaper option, too: months of watching other people make AI content while you wait to feel ready.
One seat · both days
$997
Up to 3 team seats at $497 each
Your $997 seat includes:
The value is what you can do when you get home.
You can keep watching other people make AI content and telling yourself you’ll start when things slow down.
Or you can put two days on your calendar, bring your laptop, and start with help in the room.
Before you book
No. The exercises are designed for beginners. If you’ve barely used ChatGPT or Claude, you’re in the right room.
No. We’ll explain the parts you need while you’re using them.
Probably not. If you already create AI content and software regularly, the early exercises will likely feel basic.
Yes. We’re planning roughly 30–45 minutes of hands-on work in each 90-minute teaching session, plus a one-hour Day 1 build clinic.
Raise your hand. The team will be walking the room, and there’s dedicated catch-up time built into the schedule — a full hour on Day 1 on top of the practice time in each session.
No. The software exercise starts with a business problem you describe in plain English and follows a guided process.
We can’t promise that. We’ll show you how people structure offers and work toward that goal, and you’ll practice making things you could use or sell. Your results depend on what you do afterward.
Meals during the two workshop days are included. The optional VIP dinner is priced separately.
A working laptop and its charger. This one is not negotiable — every session is hands-on, and there is nothing for you to do for two days without one. A tablet will not do the job. We’ll send an account-access checklist before the event.
Get one before you come. It does not need to be new or powerful — everything we use runs in a browser. A basic machine from Walmart or a second-hand shop, well under $500, will do everything you need in the room. If you can’t sort one out, tell us before you travel and we’ll talk it through rather than have you sit through two days unable to join in.
They switch on the morning of Day 1 and expire the day after the event ends. Your Viral Hijack account stays open — everything you created in the room stays accessible inside it.
We’ll present an optional way to keep learning and getting help after the workshop. You’ll hear the scope, price, and terms, and choose for yourself. You’ll receive the workshop training and exercises whether you join anything else or not.
