🔧 Workflow

Every morning, automated tools collect local trending topics and industry-specific keywords. These are fed into large language models to generate batch content for store visits and product recommendations. After a 5-minute manual review, a workflow triggers the Jianying API to automatically edit and generate unique, localized short videos, which are then scheduled for distribution across the merchant's Douyin and Video Account matrix. The system automatically monitors comments and private messages for leads, filters out invalid information using AI, and exports qualified contact details for the merchant to follow up. A single operator can manage 8-12 accounts for 3-5 merchants simultaneously.

🛠 Setup Requirements

Requires basic skills in building low-code workflows, familiarity with API integration for tools like n8n and Dify, and proficiency in prompt engineering for LLMs. You must register Douyin and Video Account enterprise accounts for local merchants, apply for content publishing API permissions, and set up a content library, lead database, and anti-ban account matrix. The system takes about 7-10 days to fully operationalize. The core challenges are maintaining account weight while avoiding platform restrictions and ensuring short video uniqueness to prevent traffic throttling.

💰 Revenue

① High-ticket industries (Medical Aesthetics/Home Furnishing/Education) monthly agency (Primary income): Merchants pay 12,000-15,000 RMB/month × 5 clients = 60,000-75,000 RMB/month, accounting for ~75%-94% of monthly revenue (estimated; based on merchant self-reporting, not independently verified); ② Mid-to-low ticket industries (Dining/Entertainment) monthly subscription: Merchants pay 8,000 RMB/month × 3 clients = 24,000 RMB/month (this segment's percentage is not separately listed); ③ Renewals and peak season premiums: Existing clients renew monthly (retention rate >80%), with peak season monthly income potentially exceeding 100,000 RMB; ④ Opportunity (Productization): Packaging the automated process into an AI Lead Agent with a setup fee + monthly maintenance fee: Benchmarked against overseas pricing of 800-1,500 USD setup fee + 200-400 USD monthly fee (public rates on overseas platforms), the share of this revenue has not yet been calculated.

💸 Cost

LLM API costs (DeepSeek-V3/Tongyi Qianwen commercial version) + automation tool subscriptions (n8n Cloud + Dify Cloud) total ~800 RMB/month. Cloud phone/proxy IP services for the multi-account matrix cost ~600 RMB/month. Short video cloud storage and stock material licensing cost ~200 RMB/month. Total fixed monthly cost is ~1,600 RMB, with near-zero marginal costs.

⏱ Time Investment

3 hours per day to monitor automated workflows, review generated content, and sync leads to merchants. Half a day per week is spent on visiting local merchants, negotiating renewals, and updating case study data.

🚀 Getting Started

First, identify 2-3 local high-ticket industries with strong lead generation needs (e.g., medical aesthetics, used cars, home renovation). Provide a free 7-day short video matrix trial to one merchant, producing at least 30 pieces of localized content. Once verifiable lead and in-store conversion data are obtained, use these screenshots to pitch monthly services to similar local businesses. Price the first order slightly below market rate to build volume quickly. After successfully running 3 clients, you can achieve a monthly income of over 10,000 RMB.

🔑 Keys to Success

✅ Focus on high-ticket local industries to ensure per-client profit
✅ Capability for automated short video matrix distribution
✅ A genuine closed loop between online lead generation and offline manual negotiation
✅ Lead verification model using free initial trial samples
✅ Building a local merchant case study library to lower the barrier to closing deals with real data

⚠️ 风险

⚠️ Algorithm changes on short video platforms leading to a sharp drop in traffic
⚠️ Poor offline lead conversion capability by merchants resulting in low ROI
⚠️ Automated videos flagged as low-quality content and throttled
⚠️ High merchant expectations for lead quality, leading to potential refund disputes if conversion rates fall below expectations

📌 Real Cases

📌 AI entrepreneur Zhang started providing monthly short video agency services to 5 local medical aesthetic clinics in March 2026. Producing over 400 localized videos per month, each client received an average of 180 valid leads, resulting in ~30 conversions per client. With a monthly fee of 12,000 RMB per client, serving 5 clients generated 60,000 RMB/month with a 100% retention rate.
📌 HaoKeSou agent Li's team used an AI short video matrix in the first half of 2026 to provide lead generation for 12 local dining merchants. Each merchant averaged 15 in-store conversions per month with an average transaction value of 1,800 RMB. The agent's monthly service fee income was 96,000 RMB, with AI automation accounting for over 70% of the process.
📌 Shenzhen independent developer Wang used a dual-account matrix starting in April 2026 to provide monthly lead services for 4 local home furnishing merchants. Producing 300 renovation-related videos per month, they generated 180 valid leads and 24 conversions. With a monthly fee of 10,000 RMB per client, serving 4 clients generated 40,000 RMB/month, requiring only 2 hours of daily automated maintenance.
