Sharing Insights on Niche Comic Tracks: Can AI and Robotics Vertical Accounts Thrive with Simple Lists?

In recent years, have you felt that public accounts have become so “competitive” that there is hardly any space left? I once thought the same. Writing lifestyle essays went unnoticed, and discussing hot topics couldn’t compete with larger accounts, leaving me questioning my purpose.

However, I later focused on some “niche vertical accounts” and discovered that opportunities have always existed, just hidden in inconspicuous corners.

For example, today I want to share a case with you: a small account focused on artificial intelligence and robotics, with each article consistently receiving over 5000 views, and the content format couldn’t be simpler. To be honest, this account has inspired me greatly—during the second half of public accounts, being small and precise is actually an opportunity.

🔖 · Why Focus on Niche Tracks?

During my journey of running an account, I fell into a major pitfall: always thinking that content should be “broad and comprehensive.” Today I talk about side jobs, tomorrow about life, and the day after I jump on a hot topic.

The result? Readers simply cannot remember who I am.

Later, I observed that while larger accounts can cover a broad audience, if a new account wants to break through, the best way is to delve into a vertical niche.

Why? Because niche accounts have several inherent advantages:

1. More Precise: The audience immediately knows what you are writing about, without hesitation.
2. Lighter: The content format doesn’t need to be complex; lists/collections can suffice.
3. Easier to Form Barriers: If others want to copy, they need to understand the niche better than you.

So, when I saw the case of artificial intelligence + robotics, I instantly understood: this is a typical “niche track small account.”

🌲 Today’s Case: AI + Robotics Vertical Account

This account has a clear positioning: focusing on artificial intelligence, robotics, and emerging industry-related company reviews. Opening its articles, the format is almost the same:

• The title directly names the track, such as “Artificial Intelligence: The 5 Most Authentic Companies” or “Humanoid Robots: 7 Companies with Increased Mid-Year Reports”.
• The content consists of a company list + establishment time + brief description.
• The illustration style is uniform, clean, and simple.

In such a “simple” format, each article’s view count can consistently stay above 5000, with some even reaching over 30,000. Moreover, the number of likes is also decent, indicating that it is not just “clickbait”; there are indeed people willing to read through and then give a thumbs up.

I initially wondered: isn’t this just “listing companies”? Why can it be popular? But after careful consideration, I discovered the key.

🕗 Why Can It Succeed?

1. Accurate Track Selection: Artificial intelligence + robotics is one of the hottest tracks right now. The hot topic is large enough, yet it is narrow enough, focusing solely on the corporate level. For readers, each article has clear value: if they want to follow the industry, they can quickly grasp the key companies.

2. Extremely Simple Content Format: No lengthy discussions, no complex logic, and not even fancy packaging. Just lists + images. The lightweight format ensures the possibility of daily updates. For creators, the threshold is very low.

3. Stable Rhythm: Almost daily updates, and at relatively fixed times. Once readers develop a habit, they will form an expectation. Many even wait to see which companies it has reviewed today.

4. Traffic Leverage: The audience for this track—investors, industry practitioners, and ordinary people interested in hot topics—has a strong motivation to share and discuss. Once the article enters a group, it will naturally spread.

In other words, this account is not successful because it writes in a “high-level” manner, but because it follows the three formulas of “vertical + simple + stable“.

🔖 What Can We Learn?

After watching this, I wrote down a few points in my notebook:

1. First, Find a Subfield: Don’t try to write about everything. Choose a corner that you can continuously observe, no matter how small; as long as it is vertical, there is an opportunity.

2. Keep Content Extremely Simple: Don’t think every article needs to be a thesis. A list, a chart, or a brief comment can effectively convey information.

3. Data + Emotion: If you just list companies, readers might find it boring. However, in addition to the list, adding some keywords like “most authentic,” “mid-year report increase,” and “the companies behind it” brings emotion, making readers more inclined to click.

4. Fixed Rhythm, Stable Output: The key point for this account’s success is that it truly delivers daily updates. Many people can write, but they write for two days and stop for three, breaking the rhythm. Continuous stability leads to compounding.

In fact, applying these experiences to the comic track or short drama track follows the same logic.Niche + Vertical + Simple + Stable is the way forward.

🌲 Conclusion · Riding the Trend

When I saw this account, I felt particularly emotional. It turns out that opportunities for public accounts have not disappeared; they have just moved to a different place. While larger accounts compete for traffic, smaller accounts can quietly accumulate their audience through vertical tracks.

If you are still struggling with topic selection, consider whether you can find a “small and precise” angle in your own track. To those still confused about starting an account: don’t rush to chase hot topics; first, secure a corner.

I will share a case of a niche comic track every day, revealing the opportunities and breakdown methods I see. If you also want to avoid detours, perhaps you can observe along with me and slowly find your vertical point.
