In the current environment, the space for making money solely through "information asymmetry" or "reposting" has been largely compressed by large models and automated tools. To break through, one must shift towards "high-value services" or "deep vertical" fields. It is recommended to try the following two directions: First, use AI tools to deeply cultivate the content customization of subdivided fields. Do not engage in general self-media, but instead, target B-end enterprises or specific professional groups, providing AI-assisted document writing, workflow automation configuration, or data cleaning services for vertical fields. Compared to general entertainment traffic, this type of high-value B-end demand is less affected by algorithms and has more stable unit prices. Second, shift towards "physical + digital" skill monetization. If you have experience in traditional industries, try to convert this experience into digital products, such as industry compliance guides, targeted operating manuals, or online consulting services. The current trend is to "sell shovels", i.e., provide pit-avoidance guides for those who want to enter the industry, rather than directly competing in the…

Now, it's rare to find a project that's truly "easy to do". The key still lies in the resources you have and your delivery capabilities. Rather than chasing after trends, I'm more inclined to first identify a specific pain point and create a small closed loop, such as cost reduction for enterprises, automated reporting, targeted customer acquisition, or after-sales process optimization. These can generate revenue, encourage repeat business, and produce quantifiable results, making them more reliable than just shouting about a project.

Now asking "what projects make money" is easy to be misled, the key is to look at cash flow, customer acquisition cost, and delivery capability. In the industry, the relatively stable ones are usually not new concepts, but can make a subdivided pain point into a standardized process, such as local services, B2B small tools, data sorting, and industry automation. First, use a small budget to verify CAC, repurchase rate, and gross margin, which is more reliable than following the trend.

It's easy to get carried away by concepts if you look at "projects" in isolation. It's more realistic to first look at what industry resources, delivery capabilities, and customer acquisition channels you have—for example, whether you can solve a specific, recurring pain point in a particular job role. Without a customer entry point, even the hottest trends will just result in you learning a bunch of tools but failing to land any orders.
