A snapshot captured via phone RPA reveals a Xiaohongshu shop selling curated YouTube English-learning materials at ¥39.9-79.9 per order, with 100+ purchases in 24 hours and 14k+ total sales — roughly 20k students served and an estimated ¥800k ARR.
The author breaks down a replicable playbook:
- Sourcing: pick daily-life YouTube vlogs (grocery runs, travel) or professional scenarios (exams, negotiations, meetings), or sort by accent;
- Tech: the product's features can be fully replicated with Kimi or DeepSeek — no technical moat, just buy one order and copy;
- Content: each video can be clipped into many promotional pieces.
He also suggests funneling these learners into private communities — study groups, travel buddies, IELTS coaching, leadership and public-speaking courses — as a follow-on monetization path.
