### **Case Study: Applying the Universal Prompt**
**Prompt**:
“I’m a female office worker. How can I use DeepSeek to launch a self-media account and achieve a monthly profit of $1,000? Please provide a detailed, actionable plan.”
**DeepSeek’s Response**:
Here’s a step-by-step plan to efficiently launch and monetize a self-media account using DeepSeek, tailored for a busy office worker:
#### **Phase 1: Quick Positioning (Days 1-3)**
1. **Niche Selection**: Use DeepSeek-API to analyze trending content (e.g., workplace, beauty, or home-related topics).
– Input: “Analyze the top 50 female-oriented viral posts on Xiaohongshu/Douyin over the past 7 days and suggest low-barrier, replicable niches.”
– Recommendation: Focus on “workplace outfit transformations” or “budget office gadget reviews” (low production cost, clear monetization path).
2. **Account Setup** (2 hours):
– Profile Picture: Use DeepSeek-Vision to generate a professional yet approachable female avatar.
– Username: “@WorkplaceAmy’s Treasure Drawer” (memorable and value-driven).
– Bio: “From ordinary office worker to go-to product guru | Daily tips for working women to look great and work smarter at 6 PM.”
#### **Phase 2: Content Production (Days 4-20)**
3. **Viral Content Pipeline** (2 hours daily):
– 5:00-5:30 PM: Use DeepSeek to generate 10 content ideas (e.g., “Generate 20 budget office product review topics, including keywords like ‘must-see for office workers’”).
– 6:30-7:00 PM: Shoot 3 video clips (workspace scenes + product close-ups).
– 8:00-8:30 PM: Use DeepSeek-Sora to generate 3 voiceover scripts (input product specs for auto-generated copy).
– 9:00-9:30 PM: Edit videos using Jianying (upload clips and auto-match templates).
4. **Posting Strategy**:
– 8:00 AM: Share knowledge-based content (e.g., “5-Minute Makeup Fix for Commuters”).
– 6:00 PM: Post product review videos (e.g., “The Keyboard My Boss Keeps Asking About”).
– Use DeepSeek to generate 6 variant titles for each video to test performance.
#### **Phase 3: Monetization (Days 21-28)**
5. **Enable E-commerce Features**:
– Select 5-10 high-commission office/beauty products (use DeepSeek to analyze “2024 Q3 high-repurchase items for women on Douyin”).
– Create “pseudo-collection” videos (e.g., “What’s in My Bag from $500 to $30,000 Monthly Salary”).
6. **Private Domain Conversion**:
– Use DeepSeek to generate a “Workplace Efficiency Toolkit” as a lead magnet.
– Pin a comment: “Click the link below to claim your free guide” (redirects to WeChat).
#### **Phase 4: Data Optimization (Daily)**
7. **Daily Review**:
– Use DeepSeek to analyze performance data (input: “Diagnose account issues based on attached data and suggest specific optimizations”).
– Remove underperforming videos (hide if ROI < 1, e.g., less than 3 sales per 1,000 views).
**Key Tools**:
– Product Selection: Chanmama + DeepSeek cross-verification.
– Editing: Jianying AI avatar for voiceovers.
– Analytics: Xindou + DeepSeek for real-time monitoring.
**Risk Management**:
1. Prepare a $200 sample budget (negotiate with suppliers for free samples).
2. Start live streaming by Week 3 (1 hour daily, 7-9 PM, using DeepSeek for script generation).
3. Focus on maintaining 3-5 high-performing videos with daily ad spend of $50-$100.
**Expected Outcome**:
By following this plan, you can expect to achieve a monthly GMV of $3,000-$5,000 (at a 15% commission rate). Focus on optimizing high-performing products and scaling your best content.
