The path

11 steps. Each one tells you exactly what to do + drops you in the right place.

AVMint hands you off to the matching surface at every step — Stage 1 niche search, Stage 2 Blueprint creation, the editor, the marketing-plan generator, and so on. You follow 1 → 2 → 3 → done.

  1. Set your profile

    Brand voice = the cause's voice. Authentic, not corporate. Authenticity is the most important asset.

    • Brand voice can be a short phrase: "measured, literary, no clickbait".
    • Primary platforms drives the default video format suggestion.
    In the app → Open Profile →
  2. Set your default video format

    Reels for emotional storytelling + Brand Story (60-90s) for the about page + Customer Testimonial format for beneficiary stories.

    In the app → Pick default format →
  3. Find your niche

    Search around your subject area. AVMint returns 5 audience-evidenced niches with competition notes and revenue paths. The right niche is the single biggest predictor of whether the channel works.

    • Use the topic you're passionate about + a market angle (e.g. "Bitcoin storytelling for retail investors").
    • Depth doesn't have to be Deep Dive — Standard reveals the same 5 niches.
    In the app → Search niches →
  4. Review and pick a niche

    Open past searches, read each niche's audience evidence and competition notes, pick ONE. This is the most consequential decision in the whole process — the niche you pick determines who you reach and how you monetise.

    In the app → Browse past searches →
  5. Create your Business Blueprint

    Turn the chosen niche into a full kit — channel brief, content plan (30 calendar items), AI prompt starters, monetisation plan, ethical disclosures. This is the document everything downstream references.

    • Click the niche you picked in Past Searches → "Create Full Blueprint".
    • Pick the tier that matches your seriousness — Deep Dive is the most thorough.
    In the app → Create Blueprint →
  6. Generate the brand story

    Pick "Brand Story" format. Founder/origin → why this exists → who it's for → how to engage. The brand story video lives on the homepage and donation pages.

    In the app → Open Blueprint →
  7. Capture beneficiary stories

    Use the Customer Testimonial format (interview guide). Real stories. Signed releases. Final-cut approval. This is the most powerful asset a non-profit has.

    In the app → Mark captured
  8. Edit your first video

    Open one of the generated items in the editor. Drop the video clips on the timeline, narration on the audio track, render to MP4. Free editing; 1 credit per substantive new render.

    • Use the format chip to confirm the per-item format before rendering.
    • Editing as much as you like is free — only the render is charged.
    In the app → Open editor →
  9. Ship your first video

    Upload the rendered MP4 to the platform. Use the generated title, description and hashtags from the script artefact. The chapter paste-block (long-form formats) auto-builds the YouTube chapters UI.

    • Don't over-edit the AI copy — first videos teach you the platform; ship more, polish less.
    In the app → Mark as shipped
  10. Generate a marketing plan

    Non-profit marketing plan focuses on: donor segmentation, recurring vs one-time giving mechanics, seasonal campaigns, partnership/sponsorship outreach.

    In the app → Marketing Plan →
  11. Plan the next 30 days

    Look at the Blueprint's calendar — pick 10–15 items to ship this month. Mark them in progress. Aim for a consistent cadence (2–3 per week beats a burst of 10 and silence).

    • 2-3 ships per week for the first month — the algorithm needs cadence signal.
    • Mark items "in progress" / "done" so you can see your own momentum.
    In the app → Open calendar →
After

When you finish this journey, you'll have…

  • A documented Business Blueprint covering your niche, content strategy and monetisation.
  • Ready-to-publish video assets for the first 3+ items in the content calendar.
  • A repeatable production system you can run on cadence (the journey teaches the path; the cadence is yours to keep).
  • A marketing plan + (where relevant) a first ad campaign — paste-ready into the matching ads manager.
