Manis AI Tutorial: Build a $1,000 Monthly Social Media Business

Key Points:

• Manis AI is a general AI agent that doesn’t just think, but takes action
• It can automate over 50 complex tasks simultaneously
• The system researches, writes, schedules, and summarizes without human input
• You can watch Manis work in real-time on a virtual desktop
• Currently, Manis access is invitation-only (with some people paying thousands for codes)

My Take:

What makes Manis particularly interesting is its ability to operate autonomously. While chatbots like Claude or ChatGPT are powerful, they require constant prompting. Manis takes full tasks and executes them from start to finish, potentially saving hours of manual work.

Key Points:

• When applying for Manis access, in the “What use case would you like Manis to execute?” field, write: “To help me with digital marketing”
• For your profession, write: “I teach people to make money with AI”
• Multiple viewers reported gaining access within 2-5 hours using this method
• The creator emphasizes this method has worked for numerous people

My Take:

While this access method seems to be working currently, these types of workarounds often have a limited lifespan as companies adjust their verification processes. If you’re interested in trying Manis, it might be worth attempting sooner rather than later. As always, be honest about your intentions when applying.

Key Points:

• Manis created and deployed a complete, functioning website for the creator’s YouTube channel
• The website included properly researched content, design, featured videos, and even Google reviews
• Manis also created a complete 30-day email sequence about Hawaii with location-specific knowledge
• The creator notes this type of work typically costs $500-$12,000 when outsourced

My Take:

The website creation demonstration is particularly impressive because it combines multiple skills: research, content creation, design, and deployment. Most AI tools can only handle one or two of these tasks, but Manis appears to manage the entire workflow from start to finish. This significantly lowers the technical barrier to entry for digital services.

Key Points:

• Manis AI identified small business pain points: time constraints, keeping up with algorithm changes, content creation challenges
• Social media management emerged as an ideal service because:
  • Clear pricing benchmark at $1,000/month
  • Recurring revenue potential (subscription-based)
  • Scalable service model
  • High demand among small businesses
  • Leverageable with AI tools
  • Relatively low barrier to entry
• The ideal client profile: businesses with 5-50 employees, $250K-$5M revenue, with existing but inactive social accounts
• Important distinction: This is an activity-based service (posting regularly) rather than performance-based (generating leads)

My Take:

The distinction between activity-based and performance-based services is crucial here. By focusing on the activity (regular posting) rather than promising specific business results, you create a more sustainable service with clear deliverables. This approach sets proper expectations and makes fulfillment much more straightforward, especially when leveraging AI tools.

Key Points:

• Prospecting methods:
  • Use Google Maps to identify businesses in target industries
  • Visit their websites and social media to assess current presence
  • Score businesses on need and ability to pay
  • Focus on suburban/smaller areas with less competition
• Look for businesses that understand social media’s value but haven’t posted recently (3-6+ months)
• Maintain a weekly prospecting schedule: research 20 new prospects and contact them
• Creator’s recommended approach: Create 30 days of free social media content as an irresistible offer
• Alternative strategies: social media audits, industry benchmark reports, local business features

My Take:

The free 30-day content strategy is particularly brilliant because it: 1) demonstrates immediate value, 2) requires minimal commitment from the business owner, and 3) creates a natural transition to a paid relationship. By delivering value upfront, you establish credibility and let the results speak for themselves. This approach is far more effective than cold pitching with no immediate value offer.

Key Points:

• High Level’s Social Planner feature generates AI-powered social media posts
• You can create industry-specific content with proper tone and length
• The tool can generate professional images to accompany posts
• Content can be scheduled across multiple platforms simultaneously
• Posts can be sent to clients for approval before publishing
• Creating 30 days of content takes approximately 30 minutes
• Suggested pricing: $750-1,500/month depending on platforms and content volume
• Following the outlined process could generate $4,000-8,000/month with just 4-8 clients

Sample pricing tiers suggested by Manis AI:

Basic Package: $750/month
- 2 platforms
- 8 custom posts per month
- Basic content calendar

Standard Package: $1,000/month
- 3 platforms
- 12 custom posts per month
- Professional graphics
- Account monitoring

Premium Package: $1,500/month
- 4 platforms
- 16+ custom posts per month
- Premium graphics
- Full engagement monitoring
    

My Take:

The combination of AI-powered content generation and scheduling creates incredible efficiency. What would have taken days of work just a few years ago can now be accomplished in under an hour. The key to success with this model is consistency and systematization – create a repeatable process for finding clients, onboarding them, creating content, and maintaining the relationship. With each client representing $750-1,500 in monthly recurring revenue, this approach could potentially replace a full-time income with just 5-10 clients.
