🔧 Workflow

Every morning, scrape popular local content from the past 24 hours via the Douyin Local Life trending list and Meituan Must-Eat list. Use the AI script engine to batch-generate 10 store-adapted short video scripts (including spoken copy, storyboard tips, subtitles, and cover titles). After manual review, deliver them to the merchants. Merchants shoot using their smartphones according to the scripts or edit and publish using in-store footage. Weekly, aggregate data such as short video impressions and group-buying redemption rates across stores, and inversely adjust dishes, copy, and trending directions in the scripts to form a daily update closed-loop, enabling batch delivery without manual monitoring.

🛠 Setup Requirements

Requires mastery of local lifestyle content topic selection logic and script template design capabilities. Use DeepSeek or Claude to batch-produce scripts according to fixed store information templates, and cooperate with Jianying (CapCut) for batch subtitle generation and footage preview. Use n8n or Make to chain the three steps of trend scraping, topic generation, and script output. A complete pipeline can be built within two weeks, operable by an individual without an extra team. The preliminary time investment is about 20 hours to run through the entire process.

🧰 Toolchain

🔧 DeepSeek or Claude for batch copywriting
🔧 Jianying for batch editing and subtitle generation
🔧 n8n or Make for automated workflow orchestration
🔧 Douyin Local Life trending list and Meituan merchant backend
🔧 Feishu or Tencent Docs for merchant collaboration and delivery

💰 Revenue

1. Local physical store content agency monthly package (main revenue): Merchants pay monthly package fees, standard package 2,500 to 3,500 yuan/month (basic package 1,500 to 2,000 yuan/month) x single person managing 10 stores = monthly income of 15,000 to 35,000 yuan, carded at about 20,000 yuan, accounting for about 100% of monthly income (data provided by case study, without independent review); 2. Chain brand bundled package: Chain brands with 3 or more stores are signed as an overall package at 1,500 to 2,000 yuan/month per store, actual number of stores signed is unclear, proportion of total revenue not listed (from case description, independent verification missing); 3. Additional content column add-ons: Deliver weekly Meituan graphics/text 5 items/week, review interactions 20 to 50 items/week, Xiaohongshu notes 5 to 10 items/week, Douyin scripts 3 to 7 items/week. Pricing for these add-ons is not written, actual weekly delivery volume is not tallied, proportion not given; 4. Opportunity item - Store visit script and topic library SaaS subscription: Turn the topic pipeline into a monthly subscription tool, subscription price not made public, earnings not disclosed.

💸 Cost

AI writing API or subscription costs about 100 to 300 yuan per month, Jianying Pro membership about 200 yuan per month, n8n or Make basic version is free. Overall monthly operating costs are controlled within 500 yuan, with almost no other fixed expenditures.

⏱ Time Investment

About 3 to 4 hours per day for generating scripts, reviewing content, and communicating with merchants; an extra 2 hours per week to review data and adjust topics. Time investment is flexible, suitable as a side hustle or full-time operation.

🚀 Getting Started

The first step is to screen 3 to 5 local small and medium-sized catering establishments with a per capita customer spend of 30 to 80 yuan, use AI to generate a week's worth of store-visit short video scripts for free as a sample draft, visit merchants directly to showcase data performance of past similar accounts, start running through the complete closed-loop of script generation, shooting guidance, publishing, and data feedback from 1 to 2 trial orders, then gradually replicate to more stores. Once operational, continuous customer acquisition can be achieved through merchant referrals.

🔑 Keys to Success

✅ Industrialization of script templates, capable of batch production while maintaining stable quality based on store category and dish library
✅ Topics based on local trending lists and real dish information, avoiding empty and homogenous AI content
✅ Establish a data feedback closed-loop, using impressions and group-buying redemption rates to prove delivery value to merchants
✅ Reserve storyboard templates and footage libraries for different categories in advance to reduce script implementation difficulty

⚠️ 风险

⚠️ Platforms may restrict traffic for purely AI-generated content; need to mix in real merchant-shot footage and manual review to bypass
⚠️ When merchants fail to cooperate resulting in interrupted updates, need to pre-design smartphone selfie tutorials and footage library alternative solutions to avoid delivery default
⚠️ When local agency competition intensifies, need to bind exclusive service terms or provide additional group-buying redemption incentives to prevent merchant churn
