🔧 Workflow

The operator checks paper titles, subject requirements, and deadlines submitted by users on WeChat and Xiaohongshu every day, calls AI tools to generate compliant outlines containing only conceptual frameworks, argumentative logic, and reference directions, and sends them to users via email/WeChat after human review to ensure zero ghostwriting risk. They also update the user demand ledger concurrently to follow up on subsequent paper progress. The input is academic demand information submitted by the user, and the output is a compliant academic conceptual outline and revision suggestions.

🛠 Setup Requirements

Requires preparing an OpenAI GPT-4 API key, a Zeedeep outline generation tool account, and a Notion customer management template. No complex coding foundation is needed; ordinary people can complete the basic setup in 1 to 2 days. At the same time, a set of academic integrity compliance scripts and templates must be prepared to clarify service boundaries and avoid crossing the ghostwriting red line.

💰 Revenue

Basic conceptual outline 299 RMB/session × monthly average of 120-150 orders, accounting for about 94% of monthly revenue (estimated based on 299 RMB × 120 orders = 35,900 RMB ÷ claimed monthly revenue of 38,000 RMB; case study caliber, independently unverified); ② In-depth guidance package per-session premium: 599 RMB/session (including logic breakdown and reference recommendations), a few deals closed without verification, proportion figures unavailable (case study caliber, external check not performed); ③ Quarterly card subscription: 999 RMB/3 months, students subscribe and pay quarterly, subscription numbers unverifiable, single-month peak revenue inside the card exceeded 52,000 RMB (case self-report, independent re-verification lacking), proportion of total revenue also unlisted; ④ Opportunity item - writing templates and data package subscription: benchmarking academic writing platforms' per-article pricing (single article 38 RMB, any 10 articles 228 RMB, public platform pricing caliber), sold to peers via monthly subscriptions.

💸 Cost

OpenAI API is about $35 monthly, Zeedeep outline generation platform membership is 220 RMB monthly, Grammarly academic edition is 140 RMB monthly, WeChat customer service tool is 30 RMB monthly, totaling a monthly cost of about 480 RMB, with a profit margin exceeding 98%.

⏱ Time Investment

Dedicate 2-3 hours daily, including 1 hour processing orders to generate outlines, 1 hour on human review and customer communication, and 0.5 hours following up on user repurchase needs.

🚀 Getting Started

Step 1: Register an OpenAI API account and apply for GPT-4 access permissions, while registering Zeedeep, Notion, and Grammarly accounts, and test generating 3-5 outlines for different subjects to get familiar with the workflow. Step 2: Publish 'Integrity Academic Outline Guidance' service content on social platforms where international students gather (Xiaohongshu, overseas TikTok), offering the first batch of 3 free trials to build word-of-mouth.

🔑 Keys to Success

✅ Strictly distinguish the boundaries between outline guidance and ghostwriting; all outputs provide only conceptual frameworks without generating complete paper content.
✅ Customize exclusive prompt libraries for different subjects such as business, engineering, and humanities to enhance outline adaptability.
✅ Establish a user demand ledger and regularly follow up on paper progress to increase the repurchase rate.
✅ Cooperatate with study abroad agencies and academic tutoring organizations to acquire precise customer sources and lower customer acquisition costs.

⚠️ 风险

⚠️ Upgrades in university plagiarism detection systems lead to increased user sensitivity to AI-generated content; compliance scripts need to be prepared in advance to mitigate risks.
⚠️ Strict reviews of academic tutoring content on overseas platforms may lead to account traffic restrictions or even bans.
⚠️ User misunderstandings of the service as ghostwriting trigger complaints, requiring clear labeling of compliance boundaries in the service agreement.
⚠️ Logical loopholes in AI-generated outlines lead to lower user paper scores, sparking refund disputes.
