From the current point of view, this wave of striving for self-media has indeed made some people successful. With their keen vision and excellent production, they provided a number of articles and videos that attracted netizens very much, which quickly gathered a lot of popularity in a short time and brought them considerable income. After seeing this phenomenon, many migrant workers' friends, especially many farmers, rural areas and farmers, have succeeded in self-media, and they have the idea of quitting their jobs and not going back to their hometown to specialize in self-media. For this matter, the author must advise migrant workers to think twice before acting.
First, are you sure you can hold on?
You should be fully psychologically prepared before you start working from the media, and consider whether you have enough courage and confidence to face difficulties and setbacks. Choosing to quit your job and start working from the media should be the result of careful consideration, not a hot-headed decision.
Second, what kind of content can you provide?
If you want to attract the attention of netizens and accumulate your own fans, you must have content that everyone is interested in. In the era of "content is king" from the media, if you can't provide your favorite content continuously and efficiently, even if you get a lot of fans and considerable income at first, you will lose more than you gain with the disappointment of netizens. Self-media people in the fields of agriculture, rural areas and farmers can continuously update the videos and articles of rural life, attract the attention of netizens for a long time, and even some self-media can gather popularity through live broadcast. Therefore, when you plan to be a self-media, you should think about your future direction and plan what kind of content to provide.
Third, do you have the support of the team?
As the saying goes, a hero has three gangs. Except for a few outstanding talents, if we ordinary people can have our own team to help ourselves behind the media, it will get twice the result with half the effort. Judging from the successful farmers, rural areas and farmers from the media, they are basically not doing it alone, but more or less with the assistance of others, either shooting, planning or post-editing. Therefore, if you can unite your friends to be self-media, then you will be more successful than going it alone.
Does your present situation allow you to resign?
As you are friends of farmers, your family conditions are generally not very rich. Does quitting your job and working in the media at home have a big impact on your future life? Will it make your living standard plummet? Because you have to consider the worst before you do anything. At present, most media are not very successful. Their income is very low, or they just have enough to eat and wear. If your conditions are unacceptable, you should make a careful decision.
The main reason for writing this article is that I have seen many farmers' friends on the Internet express their ideas of starting from the media, and some even want to quit their jobs and go back to their hometown to start from the media. In order to let everyone have a clear understanding of this decision, I am here to help analyze it. If a friend really wants to engage in self-media, then I also advise him not to resign and try it in his spare time. After trying for a while, he will decide whether to engage in self-media full-time. Please comment on this matter below and discuss it with me.
