AI Video for Small Businesses: Product Ads, Daily Posts and Photo Films From One Account

AI video for a small business comes down to three jobs: an ad that sells the product, a steady stream of posts that keeps the account alive, and a way to turn the photos you already have into something people watch. We build ReelMint, and it does all three from one account and one credit balance: Mint Ads makes the ad from your website, Bot Studio makes and posts the daily videos, and Mint Moments turns product or event photos into a scored film. This post shows how each works, what it costs, and where the limits are.

Job 1: a video ad from your website

Mint Ads starts with your website instead of a blank prompt. Paste the address of your home page or a product page and press "Read the website". ReelMint shows what it found (the brand, the description, the feature list and the product pictures) before anything is bought, and reading is free, so a wrong page costs nothing.

Then, optionally, say how you want the ad in your own words: the tone, the audience, the language, what to show. Your direction is handed to the copywriter as the client's brief. If you are not sure what to write, "Write it for me" drafts a creative brief from the website for 1 credit. Pick a length from 10 seconds to 3 minutes, a shape (vertical for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, landscape for YouTube and the web, square for feeds) and a quality of 480p, 720p or 1080p. The credits on the button update as you choose.

What matters for a business: the ad is written only from what your page says. It never invents a number, a price, an award or a guarantee, never names a competitor, and never makes a medical, legal or financial promise. The product pictures from your site ride along as references so the product looks like yours, and your real logo is placed on the final card afterwards. If your website is an app, the App Store and Google Play listings are read too, and their real screenshots appear in a phone in the ad. The AI ad generator page has the full detail.

Job 2: daily posts that run on their own

Consistency is what small accounts struggle with. A Bot Studio bot is a standing recipe: describe the format once ("a 15-second vertical tip about caring for leather shoes, warm tone, one tip per video"), pick a model, a length, the times and the channels, and every firing writes, films, captions and posts a new video. Bot Studio is on every plan.

Before you save, the quote shows one firing line by line and the monthly figure, which is one firing times the firings per day times 30, scaled down if you post only on chosen weekdays. A short clip on a cheap model keeps that figure small: a 10-second 720p clip on the cheaper models is 45 to 90 credits before captions. A 30-second reel on a mid-priced model with music and upscale is much more, around 900 to 1,400 credits a firing. Start small; you can always lengthen the video later. The autopilot page covers bots in two minutes.

A finished Mint Ads video can be scheduled from its Share button too, so the ad goes out on the days you want.

Job 3: photo films from what you already have

Most businesses have a folder of product shots, a shop interior, an event. Mint Moments turns up to 15 of those photos into one finished vertical film with music. Add the pictures in the order the story should play, choose a mood (a product shoot, a wedding, a trip, a match and more) and a length, and the studio writes real movement for each photo, films it from the photo itself, cuts it, scores it with an original soundtrack and mixes the sound. It is not a slideshow: the camera moves and the scene breathes, and the product is yours because the film is made from your pictures.

A short film is typically a few hundred credits, quoted before you confirm. It takes 10 to 25 minutes and you are notified when it is done. Because the music is generated for the film rather than licensed, it does not get muted on a platform. See Mint Moments for examples of moods.

For a single product shot, image to video animates one photo: you describe the motion, and the model films from that frame.

Posting it all from one place

Connect TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and X once, on each platform's own sign-in page. Connecting needs no subscription, and you can connect several accounts per platform. Every video in the library then has one Share button that publishes or schedules it per destination, to the minute, with a caption written for each platform. Publishing costs nothing except an X post at 2 credits. Two notes: Instagram publishing needs a business or creator account linked to a Facebook Page, and Facebook and Instagram are by invitation while our Meta app is in review, so you request access on the card first.

What a small business plan looks like

Plans start at Lite, $9.99 a month for 800 credits, and every plan runs every model. Starter is $29 for 2,600 credits. As a rough picture, a month of a cheap daily 10-second clip (45 to 90 credits a day, times 30) plus a short photo film fits around Starter's allowance; a few ads on top, or longer daily videos, call for more credits or a larger plan. Packs top up an active plan and never expire. Lite and Starter renders carry a small ReelMint badge; from the Creator plan up they render clean.

Lite runs one creation at a time, which is fine for one person; Creator runs three at once.

Can AI make a video ad for my business from my website?

Yes. Mint Ads reads your public page, writes the ad from what it says and films it with a voice-over and music, from 10 seconds to 3 minutes.

Will the ad make claims my business does not?

No. The copywriter uses only what your page says: no invented prices, numbers, awards or guarantees, and no competitor names.

Can I turn product photos into a video?

Yes. Mint Moments turns up to 15 photos into a scored vertical film, and image to video animates a single shot.

Can it post every day without me?

Yes. A Bot Studio bot generates and posts on the schedule you set, with the monthly cost shown before you save, and can be paused at any time.

Is there a way to try it without paying?

New accounts can claim the ready-made example creations at no cost and with no card. Your own videos run on a plan, starting with Lite.
