🔧 Workflow

Launch automation scripts daily: input web novel genres, tags, and audience preferences; AI automatically generates serialized chapters and adapts them to each platform's style. Extract high-impact clips from chapters to rewrite into short video voiceover scripts, call text-to-image and digital human tools to synthesize 15-60 second promo videos, append platform trending hashtags, and automatically distribute to Douyin, Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, Zhihu Yansuan, and other platforms. Monitor completion rates and redirect link click-through rates in the backend, feed data back into the prompt engine, and optimize genre selection and clip editing the following day.

🛠 Setup Requirements

Requires basic proficiency in AI writing toolkits and video editing software like Jianying (CapCut), using n8n or Python scripts to chain the entire workflow. No professional programming experience required, but at least 2-3 weeks are needed to familiarize oneself with each platform's traffic rules and banned-word filtering standards. Multiple open-source novel creation tools (such as ainovel-cli, AIWriteX) are already available on GitHub as a starting foundation, and prompts can be self-modified later to adapt to promo short video scenarios.

🧰 Toolchain

🔧 DeepSeek or Doubao LLM API
🔧 Jianying Professional or Bilibili Videocut
🔧 n8n Workflow Automation Platform
🔧 Chanmama or Feigua Data

💰 Revenue

① Novel promo CPS revenue sharing (main revenue): After readers subscribe or top-up via video links, platforms pay commissions to the promoter based on CPS. A single viral video driving thousands of downloads yields 3,000-5,000 RMB in commissions × 3-5 medium viral hits per month = monthly revenue of 0.9K-25K RMB, with comprehensive monthly income reaching 20K-30K RMB. The proportion of this channel in total revenue is not publicly disclosed (case study benchmark, unverified by secondary sources, as of 2026); ② Short video platform traffic revenue sharing: Douyin, Kuaishou, and Xiaohongshu settle accounts based on view counts and completion rates. The settlement price per thousand views is not publicly disclosed, and its share is unspecified; ③ Brand sponsored single ads: Brands pay per placed ad. Quotations per single ad are not disclosed, the number of accepted orders cannot be verified, and its proportion is not listed separately; ④ Opportunities: Promo writing tools and template subscriptions—charging peers on a subscription basis. Pricing and subscription counts have no public data, and the proportion is also unclear.

💸 Cost

LLM API calls cost about 500-1500 RMB/month, Jianying membership is about 300 RMB/year, and digital human video tool subscriptions are about 200 RMB/month. If free open-source alternatives are fully adopted, single-month tool costs can be squeezed under 500 RMB.

⏱ Time Investment

2-3 hours daily: 1 hour in the morning to review AI-generated chapters and adjust prompts, 1 hour in the afternoon to check video editing and copywriting quality, and 30 minutes at night to monitor the data backend and manually intervene in low-view videos.

🚀 Getting Started

Register and warm up 3 test accounts first (one each on Douyin, Xiaohongshu, Kuaishou), use AIWriteX or free open-source AI writing tools to batch-generate 20 promo texts, manually edit them into videos to test traffic feedback across different genres, and expand to a 10-account matrix after validating a single content pipeline.

🔑 Keys to Success

✅ High-impact clip extraction precision; a three-second hook determines the completion rate
✅ Multi-platform distribution rhythm differentiation; individually adapt copywriting styles for each platform
✅ Data feedback-driven prompt iteration; eliminate low-conversion genres weekly
✅ Multi-platform account warming strategies differ; avoid batch distribution during the new account launch phase to prevent triggering traffic throttling

⚠️ 风险

⚠️ Platform traffic throttling or banning of AI-generated content; necessary to control the 'AI feel' and incorporate manual review. 36Kr data shows that the profit-making ratio of mindless mass-production of AI comic-dramas is less than 1%
⚠️ Copyright dispute risks; AI-generated content may resemble existing web novels or infringe on literary copyrights, leading to takedowns or claims
⚠️ Revenue-sharing policy fluctuation risks; adjustments to platform promo CPS ratios, traffic sharing rules, and content review standards could cause revenues to plummet

📌 Real Cases

📌 Reports from the first half of 2026 by 36Kr show that platforms launched a total of 220,000 AI comic-dramas, but creators successfully monetizing accounted for less than 1%, proving that the crude mass-production model is unsustainable
📌 SegmentFault's in-depth analysis points out that top novel promo accounts utilizing short video matrix distribution can achieve monthly CPS revenue exceeding 50,000 RMB, with core barriers lying in product selection matching and traffic operation capabilities
📌 Individual creator practical case: By building a Wenxin Yiyan fully automated writing pipeline, achieving a daily output of 10 WeChat Official Account viral contents plus 1 serialized novel, realizing monthly earnings of 30K+ (Source: Efficiency Recording Practical Review)
