🔧 Workflow

Every morning, feed client store backend screenshots, competitor links, and new product materials into Manus, issuing unified instructions: competitor price and selling point audits, title and bullet point rewriting, new product spreadsheet and asset list organization. Manus automatically scrapes data across browsers and generates a first draft. In the afternoon, manually review item by item, correcting prohibited words, infringing images, and factual errors before sending back to the client, or uploading to the store backend with client authorization. The input is product materials and competitor links, and the output is a ready-to-list product package and a daily audit report, with a fully traceable and reviewable process.

🛠 Setup Requirements

Requires familiarity with listing rules, category reviews, and prohibited word red lines on platforms like Amazon or Shein, as well as the ability to orchestrate multi-step tasks using Manus and write acceptance checklists for each task type. Hardware requires only a computer and a browser; no programming is needed, but you must know how to design prompt templates and proofreading workflows. Cold start takes about 2 weeks: first, run a complete week for one store for free to accumulate case studies and data comparisons, then use the results to pitch monthly retainer services.

💰 Revenue

① Company level (Manus platform itself): Users subscribe monthly, with official tiers at Pro $20/mo, Plus $50/mo, and Pro+/Team up to $200/mo (tier prices taken from the platform's public pages). The exact revenue share from this is unknown; ② Repeater level (cross-border store product listing and competitor audit outsourcing, main revenue): Cross-border sellers pay a monthly retainer fee of 3,000 to 4,000 RMB/store/month × managing 4 to 6 stores = monthly income of 12,000 to 24,000 RMB. During peak seasons and holidays, single-store rates increase to 5,000 RMB, accounting for about 100% of monthly income (calculated based on card data, sourced from case studies, without independent verification); ③ Upload service add-ons: Extra charges when clients request upload assistance. Upfront cost for Dianxiaomi's advanced tier is about 100 RMB/month, but the markup pricing and actual number of transactions are not publicly disclosed (source is also case studies), with no data on the proportion of total revenue; ④ Opportunity item - Multi-store competitor audit data dashboard subscription: Monthly subscription per store with unclarified pricing; the revenue potential remains to be verified.

💸 Cost

Manus subscription is about 300 RMB per month; Dianxiaomi basic plan, Feishu, and Canva total about 200 RMB per month, bringing total costs to about 500 RMB per month. If clients request upload assistance, Dianxiaomi's advanced tier adds about 100 RMB per month.

⏱ Time Investment

In the early template-building and adjustment period, it takes 5 to 6 hours per day. Once the workflow runs smoothly, it takes about 3 hours per day, with manual review and communication taking the lion's share, while AI execution runs unattended in the background.

🚀 Getting Started

Beginner's first step: Use Manus to run a free round of competitor audits and title rewriting for your own or a friend's store, turning the before-and-after comparison screenshots and conversion rate changes into a case study report. Step 2: Take the case study into cross-border seller communities and local merchant circles in Yiwu and Shenzhen to pitch monthly retainers per store. Step 3: Start from a single store, lock in the instruction templates, and then replicate them to the second store.

🔑 Keys to Success

✅ Final manual review to guard against prohibited words, infringing images, and category red lines; AI is only responsible for first drafts and repetitive labor, with boundary of responsibilities written into the service agreement
✅ Monthly subscriptions per store to lock in recurring revenue rather than picking up scattered one-off jobs, making income predictable and word-of-mouth referrals easier
✅ Break down each task type into standard instruction templates and acceptance checklists so Manus can reliably reproduce results, allowing newcomers to take over
✅ Deeply cultivate one or two niche categories to accumulate competitor corpora and prohibited word libraries, forming proprietary knowledge assets that others struggle to copy

⚠️ 风险

⚠️ Changes in platform rules leading to AI-generated copy violating policies, resulting in product removals or even store bans. Liability falls on the service provider, requiring advance signing of disclaimer clauses
⚠️ General-purpose agents occasionally showing execution bias or scraping errors, requiring manual intervention as a safety net. The upper limit of orders is constrained by individual review capacity
⚠️ Changes in Manus subscription policies, pricing, or availability directly impact the cost structure, and reliance on a single platform creates lock-in risks

📌 Real Cases

📌 According to official Stripe disclosures, Manus achieved $90 million in annualized revenue just 4 months after launch, serving over 200 countries and regions within 30 days of release, proving the real existence of general-purpose agent task volume
📌 According to CSDN and various public evaluation records, Manus has continuously iterated since its release in early 2025, supporting multi-agent collaboration and context engineering by early 2026, leading domestic toolchains in Chinese language task processing capabilities
📌 On the individual player side, operators in domestic cross-border seller communities are already using Manus to handle Amazon store listings and competitor audit outsourcing, with single-store monthly fees in the 3,000 RMB range, managing 4 to 6 stores simultaneously as a solopreneur
