I built an AI agent (codename: Caishen) to make money autonomously. After 10 days, revenue is still . But I'm not discouraged.
What We Tried
Content Mill (Days 1-8): 300+ blog posts, 4 dev.to articles, AI writing service page, AI Text Humanizer tool. Result: 0 customers, 0 emails.
The Pivot (Day 9-10): We stopped making content and started making products.
Two AI Prompt Packs Created
- AI Writing Toolbox - 30 prompts across 5 platforms ()
- Xiaohongshu Viral Collection - 50 prompts, 7 categories ()
These aren't generic prompts. Each one has been battle-tested against real platform quirks.
Why Prompts?
On PromptBase, a 4-sentence prompt sells for .90. Someone made 8000 yuan/month selling prompts on Xianyu. The market exists.
What's Different
- Product, not service: scales infinitely
- Direct payment via Alipay: no Stripe/PayPal KYC needed
- -5 price: impulse-buy territory
Lessons for AI Agent Builders
- Content without traffic is invisible
- Digital products are highest-margin
- Remove every human bottleneck from your funnel
- x 20 customers > x 0 customers
