1- Pain point: Photographing ID photos is a waste of time

Taking ID photos at a photo studio costs 30 yuan or more, is inconvenient, and often produces unsatisfactory results. Users need to retake photos for different specs.

2- Opportunity: AI can generate unlimited variations, multiple formats (passport, visa, ID), and print-ready output

The opportunity is to use AI tools to generate professional ID/passport photos in one minute, saving people money on photo studios.

3- SOP: Using Midjourney/GPT-4o with specific prompts, post-processing, and print templates

The steps are:

  • Step 1: Prepare a clear, well-lit, and plain background photo (mobile selfie is acceptable).
  • Step 2: Generate a professional prompt using Midjourney/GPT-4o (requires image generation capability).
  • Step 3: Arrange the output in a 3x2 grid template using Photoshop or Canva.
  • Step 4: Provide the electronic version and print-ready output.

4- Monetization: Selling on Taobao/Xiaohongshu/Xianyu, offering customization services, and B2B to travel agencies/studios

The monetization models are:

  • Selling on Taobao/Xiaohongshu/Xianyu: single electronic version for 9.9-19.9 yuan, bundled with print-ready output for 29.9-49.9 yuan.
  • B2B: selling to travel agencies/studios at 3-5 yuan per photo, with a monthly supply of 2000 photos generating a profit of 6000-10000 yuan.
