What you see is what others want you to see. Maybe in your opinion, the media industry is an industry that is easy to get rich. Writing articles and sending videos every day means earning more than 10,000 yuan a month and realizing financial freedom, but you may not know that there are still many people who sink into the sea after writing articles and sending videos. We can also understand this as survivor bias, that is to say, people who earn 300 yuan a day in 400 yuan will share their experiences of making money online, while people who don't make money rarely say these things online, which may create an atmosphere of "making money from the media". No matter what industry, there is no good way to make money. 20% people will always have 80% wealth.
Moreover, the income of the media industry is actually very unstable. Unless you are a big V or an online celebrity, or a full-time well-known writer, you are likely to earn three or four hundred dollars today, but you can't afford it tomorrow. Moreover, it's not that simple to earn a few hundred dollars in many big V or online celebrity days. You also need to read many other people's articles and analyze the daily data of your own articles or videos.
Then let's talk about why so many people are willing to work for thousands of dollars. The first is stability. A job with a monthly income of several thousand yuan, although physically a little tired, is an "iron rice bowl" compared with the media. There won't be a situation where one hundred dollars will be paid today and none will be paid tomorrow. Since the media is like stock trading, if you make money today, you may not make it tomorrow. It is a minority to make three or four hundred dollars a day easily, just as it is a truth that people who make a lot of money in stock trading are a minority. Secondly, I didn't know you were talking about thousands of dollars, and seven or eight thousand dollars was also thousands of dollars. Take myself as an example. I am the boss of a housekeeping company, and my employees, nannies, babysitters and even hourly workers can get an average of seven or eight thousand yuan a month. Seven or eight thousand dollars may seem lower than three or four hundred dollars a day, but if they are asked to be self-media for three or four hundred dollars a day, I am sure they are not willing.
However, this does not mean that people are not encouraged to join the media industry at all. It's good for students' parties or office workers to be sideline workers, but opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Usually read more books, learn more about other people's ideas of writing and shooting videos, and the most important thing is persistence. I believe that one day the student party can earn pocket money from the media, and migrant workers can get double income from the media and work, which is also good.
So if it is a student party, I think we can contact the media without delaying our studies. Maybe we can earn some pocket money at the right time and place, even if it suddenly becomes popular, it is good luck. The most important thing for migrant workers is to have a stable job. They can increase their monthly income through the internet, but they can't rely entirely on the internet.
