🔧 Workflow

Every morning at 9:00 AM, raw materials uploaded by clients the previous day—including personal experiences, industry trends, product information, and references to past viral content—are collected. Based on the client's platform (Xiaohongshu/Official Accounts/Channels/Douyin), the corresponding large model prompt templates are matched to generate a draft that fits the platform's tone. Subsequently, manual calibration is performed on each piece to ensure natural phrasing, brand persona consistency, and to check for factual errors and sensitive words. Once confirmed, the content is formatted and delivered to the client. Weekly content data feedback is collected to optimize the prompt library for specific niches, and at the end of each month, service performance is reviewed with the client to adjust the content direction for the next phase, with service fees billed monthly.

🛠 Setup Requirements

First, proficiency in at least two mainstream large models (such as DeepSeek, Doubao, or Kimi) is required, along with mastery of prompt engineering techniques for different platforms to accurately replicate the client's tone and brand persona. No professional programming skills are needed; an average person can get started after 1-2 weeks of practice. Second, mastery of Notion or Feishu multi-dimensional tables for managing client materials and delivery progress is necessary, along with basic layout tools like Canva or Gaoding Design. Finally, one must build a personal case study portfolio on platforms like Xiaohongshu, Jike, or industry communities to validate the full process from lead acquisition to delivery. The initial preparation time is about 20-30 days, with no additional hardware investment required.

💰 Revenue

Based on a monthly service fee of 3,000-8,000 RMB per client, a single operator can stably serve 10-20 clients, resulting in a monthly net profit of 50,000-200,000 RMB after costs. By focusing on high-ticket niches (such as real estate, medical aesthetics, or corporate executive IPs), the monthly service fee per client can increase to 10,000-20,000 RMB. Serving 8-10 clients can generate over 100,000 RMB in monthly income, and top practitioners can exceed 300,000 RMB per month by building sub-teams for scaled service.

💸 Cost

Monthly fixed costs consist of three parts: premium subscriptions for large models (approx. 200 RMB/month) to unlock batch generation and advanced prompt features; large model API batch call fees (approx. 100-300 RMB/month) for high-frequency content generation; and subscriptions for content layout and material tools (approx. 50-100 RMB/month). Total monthly fixed costs are approximately 350-600 RMB, with almost no other marginal costs; serving an additional client only requires a negligible increase in API fees.

⏱ Time Investment

3-4 hours per day: 1 hour for client communication and material collection, 2 hours for content calibration, error checking, and formatting delivery, and 1 hour for optimizing the prompt library, updating lead-generation content, and following up with potential clients. Weekends can involve 2-3 hours for weekly reviews and planning for the following week. The schedule is flexible, making it suitable as a side hustle or a lean startup project.

🚀 Getting Started

Step 1: Select 1-2 vertical niches where you have resources or familiarity (e.g., real estate agents, beauty salon owners, career bloggers). Use AI to batch-produce personal branding content samples in these fields and publish them on platforms like Xiaohongshu or Jike. Achieve at least 3 viral cases with over 1,000 likes to validate the content model. Step 2: Organize these cases into a standardized service package, clearly defining service scope, delivery cycles, and pricing. Post service offerings in industry communities and social media platforms. Offer the first client a 20% discount on the market rate to accumulate testimonials and case studies. Step 3: Gradually increase prices to 1.5-2 times the market average while building a client referral mechanism to achieve stable lead acquisition.

🔑 Keys to Success

  • ✅ Standardized order intake and delivery SOP to reduce communication costs
  • ✅ In-depth manual calibration to ensure content matches the client's persona and avoids rigidity
  • ✅ Accumulation of vertical industry cases to build a differentiated trust barrier
  • ✅ Continuous iteration of prompts to adapt to the client's evolving brand needs
  • ✅ Establishing a client referral mechanism to lower customer acquisition costs

⚠️ 风险

  • ⚠️ Increased competition in low-barrier niches leading to price wars and lower profit margins
  • ⚠️ Misalignment in capturing the client's brand tone leading to high churn rates
  • ⚠️ Homogenization of AI-generated content reducing the client's brand distinctiveness
  • ⚠️ Changes in platform content moderation rules potentially causing non-compliance and client complaints
