- B2B enterprise: 2-3 customers x customer price of 30000 yuan=60000 to 90000 yuan/month revenue
- Local service: 2-3 customers x unit price of 5000 yuan=1-15000 yuan/month income
- E-commerce brand: AI recommended traffic of about 2000 times/month x conversion rate of 2% x unit price of 200 yuan=8000 yuan/month
