AI Self-MediaContent EngineeringSocial media operations

When to open: You want to do content distribution for AI self-media / content matrix / independent products, and you want to know Different authors have completely different target positionings—— domestic ordinary person monetization / overseas going-global matrix / non-technical independent products / democratized aesthetic creation / agency team-based comic drama —— the tool stack, rhythm, and monetization model for each path are all different. This wiki does not smooth over these divergences; it explicitly marks them.

One-sentence core:"AI scriptwriting + human planning/on-camera presence" is the only consensus among 5 authors; all other dimensions (platform selection / matrix scale / whether to remove AI flavor / domestic or overseas) differ from person to person, first determine which category you belong to, then choose the SOP.

0. "Target Positioning" from 7 Perspectives

Perspective Source Target users Core model One-sentence positioning
Ordinary domestic people who do not use scientific internet access dontbesilent AI self-media course / 13-lesson systematic methodology(Lao D) No coding skills + domestic 13-lesson complete learning path + DeepSeek/Monica/Openrouter "Able to compete in the domestic market + 2 million views on Douyin"
Overseas going-global matrix operation Wang Kai Going-Global Promotion SOP and Overseas Multi-Account Matrix Practice / Wang Kai 6-platform overseas operation SOP(Wang Kai) Overseas entrepreneurs / independent developers 6-platform SOP + multi-Agent matrix + going-global infrastructure "The domestic market is too competitive; overseas is the high ground we must take"
Non-technical global merchant newtype · Vibe Coding Independent Product Practice(Huang Yihe) 1 person + non-technical + starting with small capital Web + Mac App + Stripe + North America "Turn technical problems into business problems / use your strengths as the framework"
Democratized aesthetic creation Xiaohongshu / Vibecoding Aesthetics + Creator Economy Collection / Xiaohongshu / AI Tools + Skill Tutorial Collection(Xiaohongshu vibecoding) Individual creators / people who want to express themselves Kimi 2.6 / Pretext / Stanford aesthetics course "Models are not important; aesthetics are the primary productive force"
Agency team-based comic drama Yu Zijiang AI Comic Drama Production Course / Lesson 1 Live Teaching Complete Methodology(Yu Zijiang Agency) Creators who join agencies / work in team systems 5-step AI comic drama process + 5x revenue share on Hongguo Theater "Essentially you are the director; AI is just an assistant"
Reverse-engineering platform algorithm source code Reverse-engineering creator strategies from X recommendation algorithm source code (Lao Zhang)(Lao Zhang of AI Learning) Image-text bloggers who want to understand "why traffic doesn't take off" 6-component framework of X recommendation system + 7-item creator checklist "Algorithms are not mysterious; what is mysterious is that no one examines their own content from the perspective of the recommendation system"
Build in public + Inbound school zara Zhang Zala / Content Creation SOP (verified with 260,000 Xiaohongshu followers + 50,000 Twitter followers)(zara Zhang Zala) Office workers who create content in their spare time / introverts / humanities majors 260,000 on Xiaohongshu + 50,000 on Twitter / Learn in public / surface area × probability "Creating content is the most effective way to scale your network, amateur interest,0 ads / ≤30 min per piece"

Key observation:Lao D teaches you to be a domestic self-media ordinary creator; Wang Kai teaches you to be an overseas entrepreneur; Lao Huang teaches you to be a global independent merchant; Xiaohongshu teaches you to be a creator; Yu Zijiang teaches you to join an agency; Lao Zhang teaches you to diagnose "why the algorithm doesn't like you"; zara teaches you to "use content Inbound to accumulate surface area, and job opportunities will naturally come to you". The first 5 items are about "what actions to take", Lao Zhang is about "why actions are rewarded by the algorithm", and zara is about "creating content why it is not for money" — the 7 perspectives each answer different questions about self-media.


1. Cross-Author Consensus (4 items)

1.1 "AI scriptwriting + human planning/on-camera presence/editing" is the only full consensus

Author Statement
Lao D "Self-media talking-head videos:Let AI write the script, and the person themselves appears on camera + edits + adds subtitles"
Wang Kai "Claude only does translation, not polishing" / "Overseas content 70-point fast generation relies on AI framework + human check"
Lao Huang "AI tools are not yet strong enough for end-to-end SOTA,v0 generates UI / Claude generates architecture / Cursor implements, each handles one segment"
Xiaohongshu vibecoding "Models are not the most important,aesthetics are" — tools rely on AI / aesthetics must be done by humans
Yu Zijiang "Essentially you are the director, AI is just an assistant" — storyboards must be written by humans, AI is responsible for generating images and videos

Variant statement:Never hand over "end-to-end" to AI. Even if you can't write code / can't make videos,depth of thinking and aesthetic control must be human.

1.2 Content matrixization is the new paradigm (per-piece cost approaches 0 → use production capacity to trade for probability)

Author Matrix scale Implementation method
Wang Kai 50 channels operated simultaneously / 500 Shorts per day 10 computers × 5 browsers × 1 Google + 1 channel × Claude 200 USD / 5 themes × 5 languages × 2 styles = 50 channels
Lao D Digital avatars cover 30 languages / per-video output doubled HeyGen one-click translation (Japanese / French / Korean / Spanish / Russian, etc.) / wan2.2 animate face swap / ElevenLabs Voice Changer
Xiaohongshu vibecoding Vibe Marketing Skill batch produces videos Claude Code Skill + FFmpeg local splicing / batch produce only when one type of video formula is very clear
Lao Huang newtype.pro + Substack 200 subscriptions + YouTube + Pro User multiple tools Not matrixized but cross-platform distributed —— cultivate deeply on each platform
Yu Zijiang Single comic drama 100 minutes × 1 person-month cycle Agency team system / Hongguo Theater 5x revenue share / no personal account building (cycle too long)

Consensus = push per-piece cost close to 0, then use production capacity to trade for probability;Divergence = matrix scale differs by 50 times(see §2.2).

1.3 Prompt / Skill-ization is the core mechanism for cost reduction

  • Lao D §L13:"Skill = cross-platform reusable prompt engineering product / Git version management + frontmatter trigger conditions"
  • Xiaohongshu §3:"Advantage of Vibe Marketing Skill over N8N = calling local services + file splicing"
  • Wang Kai:"6000-word translation prompt template" / "PUA Claude to give feedback again and again until it reaches 6000+ words"
  • Lao Huang:Super Analyst Skill / Super Analyst Pro 2.0 packages 12 frameworks + Sequential Thinking into a Skill bundle

Consensus conclusion:Do not use scattered prompts,use a Skill-based structure from the start (SKILL.md + references/ + scripts/) —— Skill is a reusable prompt engineering product. See Claude Skill Engineering (Cross-Author Thematic Synthesis).

1.4 Recommendation traffic > SEO traffic (cold start for innovative products)

Wang Kai Wang Kai Going-Global Promotion SOP and Overseas Multi-Account Matrix Practice §1 + §7:New products spend 90% of energy on recommendation traffic, do not do SEO.

Type Traffic strategy Difficulty
Innovative product Must first do recommendation traffic to educate users Hard
Known category Direct SEO competition + paid traffic Medium

Why:Search is a lagging indicator; users don't know about the thing you are making.First use TikTok / Reddit / KOL to educate the market; SEO is a defensive strategy.

Lao D domestic version:Douyin is the first choice for recommendation traffic, Xiaohongshu is a mix of seeding + recommendation. Lao Huang independent product version:newtype.pro monthly Newsletter + Substack subscription economy(no recommendation traffic, completely relies on SEO + old fans).


2. Explicit Divergences (4 items — not smoothed over)

2.1 Divergence 1: Domestic vs overseas, which is the main battlefield?

Perspective Position Key arguments
Lao D(dontbesilent AI self-media course / 13-lesson systematic methodology) Domestic main battlefield "All SOPs work even without scientific internet access" (using DeepSeek + Monica + Openrouter / 2 million Douyin views / one-click publishing to Xiaohongshu)
Wang Kai(Wang Kai Going-Global Promotion SOP and Overseas Multi-Account Matrix Practice §1) Must go overseas "The domestic market is too competitive; overseas is the high ground we must take / after overseas PMF subscription rate is 3-5 times higher / single-user ARPU is 2-3 times higher / but startup cost is 5 times higher"
Lao Huang(newtype · Vibe Coding Independent Product Practice) Overseas independent products North American user base / Stripe / tax compliance / global merchant route
Yu Zijiang Domestic Hongguo Theater 5x revenue share model launched 2026-12 / 100 minutes / 1-month cycle

Real divergences are not smoothed over:These 4 positions are not about "which is right", but about "who you are positioned as":

  • Domestic ordinary person + want fast monetization → Lao D route
  • Want to build startup products + long-term PMF + high ARPU → Wang Kai overseas route
  • 1 person non-technical + starting with small global capital → Lao Huang independent product route
  • Join an agency + share risks → Yu Zijiang comic drama route

2.2 Divergence 2: Single-platform deep cultivation vs multi-platform matrix?

Perspective Position Quantity
Wang Kai(Matrix-ist) Multi-Agent multi-browser multi-account 5+ browsers / 50 channels / 1 set of independent Google + 1 channel
Lao D Single-platform deep cultivation (deeply cultivate 1 account each on Douyin / Xiaohongshu) 1-2 core platforms
Lao Huang Cross-platform distribution but deep cultivation on each platform newtype.pro + YouTube + Substack + X = 4-5 platforms ★
Xiaohongshu vibecoding Primarily personal single platform 1 core (Xiaohongshu) + extensions (Douyin / Bilibili)

Real divergence: Wang Kai makes a probability bet of "production capacity × probability" (out of 50 channels, 1-2 will always go viral); others make a trust bet of "account assets × compound interest" (1 year of accumulation on one account = irreplicable asset).

Judgment criteria:

  • Can you monitor feedback from 50 channels 24 hours a day? If yes → Wang Kai model
  • Do you want to build long-term content assets + trust accumulation? Then 1-2 core accounts + AI cost reduction
  • Overseas startup + cannot afford paid traffic burn → Wang Kai 50-channel probability bet (per-piece cost < $1)

2.3 Divergence 3: Should the "AI flavor" in AI writing be eliminated or retained?

Perspective Position Core quote
Wang Kai(Wang Kai 6-platform overseas operation SOP §2) AI flavor must be eliminated "Claude only translates, does not polish. Reddit users are very good at identifying AI content,they called me out for sounding AI several times. Require short length, no extrapolation, colloquial tone, contractions (gonna/wanna), no em dashes / Furthermore / In conclusion"
Lao D(dontbesilent AI Self-Media Course / 13 lessons of systematic methodology §L04) Keep the AI flavor + keep your personal style "Don't pursue eliminating the AI flavor — make the script sound like you, so people feel it's you the moment they hear the voice"

Genuine disagreement + applied judgment:

  • Overseas community platforms such as Reddit / HN / Twitter → Wang Kai's position (platforms are highly alert to AI content, posts will be downvoted into obscurity)
  • Domestic Douyin / Xiaohongshu / Bilibili personal IP → Lao D's position (what users buy is your personal style)
  • Different platforms, different playbooks —— You absolutely must not post the same script on two platforms

2.4 Disagreement 4: Account warming rhythm

Platform Wang Kai SOP rhythm Risk points
Reddit 8-week cold start / 1:9 golden ratio (1 product post + 9 pure engagement posts) shadowban / multiple accounts on the same IP / emoji + capital letter combinations
HackerNews 8-week account warming / new accounts only comment to accumulate karma New accounts cannot post Show HN / voting from the same IP is guaranteed death
Twitter / X 90-day real-person account / matrix accounts face stricter anti-cheat Same IP is guaranteed death / frequent posting pushes you into the sandbox / cross-account interaction detects coordination
YouTube 90-day single-channel cold start / 50-channel matrix with independent fingerprint for each channel Matrix anti-cheat relies on browser fingerprints + residential proxies + US phone numbers
Domestic Douyin / Xiaohongshu(Lao D) rap.dev one-click publishing / Don't ask again Domestic anti-cheat is more lenient (Lao D did not emphasize account warming)

Genuine disagreement:Overseas platform account warming = credit accumulation (8–12 weeks), there are no shortcuts;Domestic platforms have a faster rhythm but a higher content quality threshold.


3. Lao D's complete domestic-adapted tool stack (exclusive)

dontbesilent AI Self-Media Course / 13 lessons of systematic methodology The most complete "no scientific internet access needed in China" tool stack from the 13 lessons:

3.1 Domestic models / wrapper stack

3.2 Content production chain (13-lesson SOP integration)

0. 元提示词 → 系统提示词 → 智能体 → 用户提示词(L00 心法)
1. 模型选用 → DeepSeek + Monica + 元气 (L01)
2. 文字仿写 → Markdown 结构化提示词 + 反向提问 + 迭代修订 (L02)
3. RAG / 知识库 → ima知识库 / 元气(本质是提示词被加强) (L03)
4. AI 口播稿 → AI 写稿 + 真人出镜 + 保留个人风格 (L04)
5-7. AI 视频 / N8N / 多模型对比 → 即梦 + Vidu + OpenRouter Playground (L05-L07)
8. Claude Code 零代码 Agent → Openrouter Key 接入 / Don't ask again (L08)
9. LobeChat 高级 → Artifacts 白板 + 对话分支 + 模仿博主 (L09)
10. HeyGen 数字人 → 豆包白底图 + wan2.2 animate + ElevenLabs + 剪映 + HeyGen 翻译 (L10)
11. 一键发布小红书 → rap.dev + Playwright + Claude 4.5 + 小红书 MCP (L11)
12. AI 解读商业案例 → 多维度提示词 + 自己做总编辑 (L12)
13. Claude Skill 工程化 → SKILL.md + references/ + Git 版本管理 (L13)

3.3 Practical case: HeyGen digital human 5-tool combination

1. 豆包生图(白底图 ★ 关键)
2. 真人录视频(你自己拍)
3. 阿里通义万相 wan2.2 animate(角色替换 - 视频换脸)
4. ElevenLabs Voice Changer(音色替换 + 29 国语言)
5. 剪映合成(音频替换 + 响度统一 + 字幕)
6. (可选)HeyGen 翻译视频(一键 30 国语言)

Lao D's real test: the video posted on Douyin yesterday is approaching 2 million views; after the digital human covered 30 languages single-video traffic doubled.


4. Essentials of Wang Kai's overseas 6-platform SOP (exclusive)

Wang Kai 6-platform overseas operation SOP Core rhythm of the 6-platform SOP:

4.1 Universal ironclad AI writing rules (7-item self-check list)

Go through this before posting:

  • Average sentence length < 12 words?
  • No em dashes (—)?
  • No "In conclusion / Furthermore / Additionally / It's worth noting"?
  • No perfect grammar? (moderate colloquial errors actually sound more like a real person)
  • First person used more than 3 times?
  • Paragraphs < 4 lines?
  • Overall reads like a Slack message, not an academic paper?

4.2 6-platform rhythm quick reference

Platform Cold start period Core strategy Red lines
Reddit 8 weeks niche subreddits / 1:9 golden ratio / 4 types of plays (research/material/product idea debate/public sentiment) Multiple accounts on the same IP / posting the same link across multiple subs within 24h / emoji + capital letter combinations
HackerNews 8 weeks of account warming New accounts only comment / can only Show HN after 8 weeks / 4 high-upvote paradigms Asking friends to vote / frequently refreshing your own post / Re-Showing the same product in the short term
Twitter / X 90-day real-person account 50% project progress / 30% industry observations / 20% personal life / reply to 50–200 reposts that haven't gone viral Same IP is guaranteed death / 7-day shadow review after registration / cross-account interaction coordination detection
YouTube Shorts 90 days per single channel 5 topics × 5 languages × 2 styles = 50-channel matrix / the first 3 seconds decide everything Channel consistency / completion rate / matrix anti-cheat relies on fingerprints
ProductHunt 12-hour anti-chart-rush One-time promotion / real user operation Domestic vote solicitation does not count
Dev.to cross-post matrix Long-form articles + SEO friendly Coordinate with Medium / Substack

  • Real browser activity: pure lurking for 7 days after registration

5. Lao Huang's independent product Unit Economics (exclusive)

newtype · Vibe Coding independent product practice §1 Three mental models for non-technical indie developers:

Mindset Content
Assess your ability and resources One person + non-technical + spending a little money → do not touch large/complex projects
Approach from a business angle Can you turn technical problems into business problems/arithmetic problems? Wholesale APIs then resell them retail
Start from your strengths If marketing, operations, and product are your strengths, use those as the backbone to architect the entire project

Why this is the moat for non-technical indie developers:

  • Customers don't pay for beautiful code; they pay for "hitting the need precisely + reasonable price + smooth experience"
  • The limitations of non-technical people actually force the discipline of "figuring out the business first, then using AI to write code"

Lao Huang did 4 full-stack things for the web version of Prompt House(Cursor wrote code the rest of the time):

  1. Register accounts on various platforms
  2. Configure Google OAuth
  3. Configure Supabase database
  4. Configure Stripe (API Key, Webhook Key)

6. Yuzijiang AI comic drama 5-step workflow (exclusive)

Yuzijiang AI Comic Drama Production Course / complete methodology from Section 1 live teaching —— Agency small-team model + Hongguo Theater revenue-sharing path:

小说 / 文章
    ↓ 1. AI 生成 → 动态漫剧本(标准格式)
    ↓ 2. AI 转换 → 分镜表(9 列)+ 资产库提炼
    ↓ 3. 即梦生图(三视图)→ 角色 / 场景 / 物品资产库
    ↓ 4. 即梦融图 + 文生图 → 分镜图(单帧)
    ↓ 5. 即梦/Vidu 图生视频(可加首尾帧)→ 分镜视频
    ↓ 6. 剪映拼接 → 成片

Core mental models:

  • Visuals first —— "Don't write one segment then look at it; first carefully list and write out all the storyboards completely, then generate images with that visual sense in mind"
  • AI is an asset library —— The more detailed the description, the fewer choices you leave to AI, and the higher the hit rate of your draws
  • Director's mindset —— "Comic dramas are essentially stitched together from different storyboards; as a drama maker you are essentially the director, AI is only an assistant"

6 major camera movements: push in / pull out / pan / track / follow / orbit + subjective perspective.

Monetization path:

  • In 2026 Hongguo Theater will heavily promote AI comic dramas
  • Launching in 2026-12 5x revenue-sharing model
  • Full episode ~100 minutes / solo creator ~1 month
  • Not recommended for individuals to start accounts,Join an agency small-team system

6.5 zara Zhang Zala Build in public + Inbound path (exclusive)

Details zara Zhang Zala / Content creation SOP (validated by 260k Xiaohongshu followers + 50k Twitter followers). The biggest difference between zara's perspective and the previous 6 schools:Self-media is not a job, it's an interest; no fees charged, content is an Inbound engine.

6.5.1 Numbers to back it up

Dimension zara's data
Xiaohongshu 260k+ followers
Twitter 50k+ followers(grew from 0 in 2025)
LinkedIn 14k
Internal company blog 150 posts / read by 24,000 colleagues
Rhythm 300+ posts in 600 days / 1 post every 2 days / persisted for 4 years

Anti-consensus intensity: she has never taken a single ad / never earned a single cent, but has gained 6 more valuable returns (details in §6.5.4).

6.5.2 Lower the output threshold to ≤30 minutes (7 downgrades)

Dimension Common approach zara's approach
Time budget 1–3 hours ≤30 minutes, posted on the go
Scriptwriting Write a script Never writes a script, speaks off the cuff
Recording environment Makeup + lighting + recording studio No makeup / no lighting / recorded on phone
Video editing Polished editing in PR / FCPX Jianying AI subtitle editing, done in 10 minutes
Background music / transitions / sound effects Add all of them Add none of them
Cover image Exquisitely designed Casual screenshot, no retouching
Topic selection Research hot topics / ride viral posts Jot down thoughts from daily study and life in notes

Core mental model: treat content as entertainment (a substitute for scrolling short videos), not as work.

6.5.3 Inbound > Outbound (suited for introverts)

Outbound (traditional) Inbound(zara)
LinkedIn / cold outreach emails asking them to promote you Write work / publish publicly
Go to networking events to force awkward conversations Host your own events(ask each person to bring 1 friend)
Most people don't reply People who read your content and agree with your views reach out to you proactively
Mostly ineffective socializing Self-filtered, high quality

Real incident: zara wrote 2 English blog posts and posted them on LinkedIn → got 100+ connection requests overnight."100 times more efficient than forcing awkward chats at networking events".

6.5.4 The 6 returns from content that are more valuable than money (exclusive)

zara has run 4 years of content with 0 ads, but it has brought:

  1. Job opportunities(every job came from bosses who saw her content and reached out)
  2. Connections(founders / VCs / PMs reaching out inbound to meet)
  3. Friends(people who agree with her views → real friends)
  4. Knowledge(turning unfamiliar experts into advisors)
  5. Users(early seed users for products / feedback)
  6. Candidates(hiring = attracting people who have seen the content and agree with the views)

"If you think making content is only for money, you are thinking too small about it."

6.5.5 Luck = surface area × probability (exclusive formula)

运气 = 你的曝光面 × 单次事件命中率

3 ways to expand surface area:Create publicly / expand your circle / Show up. Details zara Zhang Zala / North America career development SOP (liberal arts graduate → VC → ByteDance → AI indie developer) §1.

6.5.6 Dual feedback loop of Build in public + Build to learn

做产品(Build) → 写帖子分享(Public) → 26 万粉看到 → 数据飞轮(16k+ star)
   ↑                                                          ↓
   └──── 粉丝当种子用户 + 反馈 + 招人 ←──── 内容反向 inform idea

Details zara Zhang Zala / Skill & indie product portfolio (strategy retrospective) §1.2 / zara Zhang Zala / PM & VC career trajectory + docent at the Computer History Museum §7 Intersection of Builder + Influencer.

6.5.7 Differentiation from the other 6 schools

Dimension Lao D / Wang Kai / Lao Huang / xhs / Yuzijiang / Lao Zhang zara's 7th perspective
Goal Monetization / matrix / algorithm Inbound job opportunities + friends + users
Investment Heavy (full-time / majority of time) Light (amateur / ≤30min)
AI proportion AI-written scripts / AI videos Almost never uses AI to write(speaks off the cuff + posts on the go)
Business Ads / in-app purchases / revenue sharing 0 ads 0 charges
Style Matrixized / standardized opinionated / unplanned / mood-driven

7. Xiaohongshu vibecoding aesthetic philosophy (exclusive)

Xiaohongshu / Vibecoding aesthetics + creator economy collection —— "Models don't matter, aesthetics are the primary productive force":

7.1 Stanford aesthetics course 5 units

Unit Content
Fundamentals Give the courseware PPT directly to the large model → the large model generates visual designs based on the foundational framework
D3 tools Web-based interactive data visualization
Color design Color extraction websites → select color palettes → give to the large model
Animation usage Consider carefully(improper use may confuse readers more)
Data visualization Network data / relationship graphs / NLP / text-based

7.2 3 Tricks to Refine Vibecoding Aesthetics (Xiaozhuang + Kimi 2.6)

Trick What to do
1-1 Precise replication Screen recording → feed to Kimi 2.6 → "Please replicate the visual website UI design style in the attached video"
Learn 3 front-end terms Place video in the Hero section(immersion)/ Shader animation effects(dynamic upgrade)/ Three.js / 3D json(three-dimensionality)
Make good use of high-quality templates Kimi 2.6 template asset replacement + patient fine-tuning

7.3 The Democratized Creation "Pretext Phenomenon"

  • Works at an AI company + mother of two → homepage flooded by Pretext → 21 million+ views
  • Using PreteX + AI StarChild → 2-minute Demo APP / 10-minute storytelling visualization

"The benefit AI brings to ordinary people is that it democratizes the act of creation, which can bring money and opportunities,and can also let everyone find something that defines their own position. "
