Recently, many friends have asked me how to be a self-media and how to start a business. I want to quit my job and become a full-time self-media creator. If you want to start a business from the media, I think you should first understand the following basics. 1 Don't be fooled by high income. Everyone who wants to be a self-media must be attracted by high income. I used to be like this. First of all, I tell you, if someone tells you that in this era, you can make money by doing self-media processing, you should be careful. Beware of leeks being cut. In this era, even if you edit a movie, you have to edit it yourself. It is definitely impossible to recite it. Behind every high income is either routine or hardship. Don't think it's easy to be self-media. Actually, it's boring to be a self-media. For example, I answer questions, write articles and conduct drainage in various places every day. There are many business matters to deal with. After all, you have to live. Therefore, I also suggest many friends who want to resign from the media. If you want to resign from the media, I personally suggest that you can start from a sideline or part-time job now. Do it from the media and see what you will do. Many friends are asking me, it's okay. What should I do from the media? First of all, let me ask you what your job is now. For example, a friend I taught before was just a small security guard in Xi 'an. Every day, he shoots some houses in Xi 'an in the headline position. When shooting, he will write some words or make sounds, and sometimes he will take pictures of what he eats. Sometimes the broadcast volume is only a few hundred or thousands, but sometimes it will be hot. Earn hundreds of dollars. Because he has already written the original work, and he often answers many questions in Wukong Q&A, which attracts many fans. For example, I can shoot funny dialect jokes on the short video platform. I played with my friends before, but I regret it most. I tell jokes every day. These broadcasts are all about 2W, so I didn't direct the traffic to the official WeChat account platform. So when you joke about dialects, you can find ways to bring traffic to the official WeChat account platform. Having said so much, it is actually a sentence. Being self-media can start from life, if nothing. Then film your own life. What is your life like? Then you can film it. 3 There are many media platforms to choose from, such as WeChat official account, Today's headline, Baijia number, Penguin number, Weibo and so on. In fact, a lot of content can be published to various platforms. For example, if you write an article, you can send it to various self-media platforms. Of course, you have to unify your name, so it is convenient to build a personal IP later. Like some self-media platforms, they have their own traffic. For example, headlines, hundreds of numbers and so on, as long as you send an article, the system will expose it to you. And the headlines in the early stage are all profitable. Although it is not many, it is original and has many fans. Income will increase. The same is true for short videos. After shooting a short video, it can be released on multiple short video platforms. Maybe this short video platform doesn't give you much traffic. The other one will be more popular. You can try it yourself. 4 From the media income part, the last paragraph told you a little about the media income. For example, some platforms are profitable. For example, headline numbers, as long as you send text or video, are profitable. Like a hundred schools, big fish and so on. Only when you become a full member can you gain something. The headline income is generally1w. Reading 1 almost 2 yuan. The cost of reading 10000 books is about 10 yuan. Of course, the income from the media in the early stage is very low, so it is not recommended that you resign from the beginning. If the short video is realized, I suggest how to realize the layout from the beginning. As long as it is popular. You will be broadcast live. It depends on your short video in that field. Let's call it a day. If you don't understand anything, you can leave a message or write to me privately. Let's study together and make progress together. Thank you for paying attention to my official WeChat account. Thank you.
