Mhm. What the actual? In this video, we're going to be making a onetoone clone of Hicksfield, a $5.4 billion company. And it's much easier than you think because a couple of weeks ago, Hicksville open-sourced a big

0:15

part of their code. And there are a bunch of open source versions of Hicksville that we can take a lot from when we build our own version. And this opens up a massive opportunity because we can create our own AI video generation platform that's more

0:29

specialized in one niche and then we can resell our services and profit on every single request. In this video I'll show you the entire process of cloning a billiondoll startup. And stick around because at the end I'm giving you the code so you can just take it, specialize it into your own niche and sell it as

0:43

your own. If you don't know me, my name is Albert. I've sold over a million dollars of AI to businesses. Now we are making AI education free for everyone. So, if you haven't already, make sure to hit subscribe. Let's not waste any more time. Let's get into it. The most important thing is that we understand

0:57

how we can profit. And the business model is very similar to what Hicksville is doing that makes them worth 5.4 billion. We can create our own copy of Hicksfield. Then we can set our own prices. So, let's say one generation for us costs $1. We can set the price to,

1:14

let's say, $13 or $1.5 and then resell that video generation on our platform. And this means that on every single request that someone generates on our platform, we are profiting let's say 30 50%. So how many users do we need to make let's say $10,000 a month in profit? Well, let's say that each

1:29

user is spending $50 a month on our platform. And let's say that we have 50% margins, which means that we are profiting $25 per customer. This just means that we need 400 users in order to profit, which is very doable. And if you have a software company that's generating $10,000 a month in profit, if

1:44

you calculate with, let's say, a 5x multiplier, that company is worth $600,000. I hope you see how big of an opportunity this can be if you execute it the right way. But then you might think, Elbert, this is so hard. There's no way we can clone a $5 billion company. Well, I'm

1:58

about to show you how we can clone it onetoone. It includes this prompt right here, which instructs Claude in how to build out an entire platform that's a onetoone clone of Hicksfield. So, all we need to do is just copy this entire prompt. And I'm going to leave a link right below this video so you can copy it as well. Then we're going to go

2:13

inside of Claude. I'm going to set it to Opus 5.5 because I absolutely love that model. It's so cheap. It's so good and it can create this entire platform in one shot. And then I like to set it on extra because that's the sweet spot of it being pretty fast and really good. So, when we have this entire prompt now,

2:29

we can hit enter and it's going to build out our own version of Hickfield. And building this out is probably going to take 1 to two hours. and then I'll show you the exact price for how much in API credits this has cost me. But the great thing is I'll give you my code at the end of this video so you can just take it and build from there which is going to save you a lot in tokens. And

2:43

now it's done. You have a preview right here. But we're going to go through the entire platform in just a second. But I can write /cost and you can see how much this has cost us. In total, this session has cost us 100 bucks. It took 3 hours to build. But remember this is the straight API cost. When you are on a

2:58

cloud subscription, you of course have way more usage. This is the price it would be if you ran it directly through an API key, which no one does. And on top of that, you're lucky you're watching this video cuz I'm going to give you the code to our platform completely for free. So you have a really good starting point when you build out your own platform. The first
