Why I built an AI Video Generator with no-reg access and why I have to let it go now
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share the story of my latest project: MakeVid.me.
The Idea: I built this because I was frustrated with how complicated AI generation can be. Most platforms force you through long registrations or have very strict creative limitations. My goal was to build a tool where users could generate images from text and videos from images almost instantly, with a minimal barrier to entry.
Key Features & Progress:
Freedom of use: I implemented the ability to generate images without registration and platform restrictions.
Monetization: There is a simple "pay-per-generation" system already in place or payment system through your personal account.
Results: In a short time, the project gained ~194 registered users and secured its first paid customer.
Tech Stack: The architecture is fully functional, production-ready, and supports multiple languages (EN/RU/ES/CN).
The Situation: I’m being transparent here: I faced a difficult situation recently. A major client from my other project backed out right before the New Year. This unexpected change has left me without the planned budget for the marketing campaign MakeVid.me needs to grow.
The Offer: Because I need to focus my resources on my core business now, I’ve decided to sell the project. I’m looking for $2,999 (open to offers) for the domain, full source code, Deployment setup and environment handover.
It’s a stable, live product that is ready for a new owner to take over the marketing and scale it. I’d love to see it in the hands of someone who has the time to give it the attention it deserves.
Happy to answer any questions or top up your balance in the service.
