Grassroots writers are struggling to survive. Why are some people willing to invest in online literary creation?
After reading the previous answers carefully, in fact, it is still largely seen by outsiders. Although they have their own reasons, they don't really understand the hearts of online writers.
If you use occupation as a metaphor, writing online is not that different from other occupations. Selling labor to earn remuneration, any profession is pyramid-shaped, and net writing is no exception.
What you see, three little, three uncles and leaves, is just a point on the tip of the pyramid.
Before I left my job, my income added up to the top 3% in the country, but so what? I know there are countless rich people above me. Even if they are not Rainbow Jianlin, their lives are beyond my reach. Just like the community I live in now, others live on the island in the middle of the lake and go in and out under the same building! There are even several hundreds of millions of castles!
To put it bluntly, you only see the names of several net authors at the top, but you don't know that in real life, most people can't even see you at all, because compared with the rich people like Buffett, Bill Gates and Wang Jianlin, your class is smaller.
Without this group of people devoted to the creation of online texts, online texts will not develop better. It is true that the online text industry is already an operated industry. Without a large enough content provider, readers can't be satisfied. There will always be a group of talented online writers who will invest in it, and with hard work, they will gradually grow into a new mainstay. After all, some people are old, and what they write can't keep up with the tastes of fresh readers.
To make up for it, many people are also a pattern, thinking that they are a small white-collar worker, living in a general Stan industry and enjoying themselves? When the author of the net reached the extreme, Stan looked at it and lamented his misfortune? (Wait, maybe they don't even know the limit Stan and the average Stan? (Laughter)
Do you know that many people in the online writing industry are still students?
Do you know that people are not as busy making a living and paying off loans as you are?
Do you know that only a few people can still regard it as a career after the washing of time (crazy dumping)?
People who write online articles only earn pocket money, and only those who are truly immortal will regard it as a lifelong career, okay?
(Oh, it's not heavy again, covering your face)
In recent years, some people I know have become popular in their first novels, and some have only written seven or eight novels before they began to soar. Of course, there are many small transparencies that will never be known.
Take myself as an example. When I wrote my first novel, on the one hand, I liked reading it when I was in college, and on the other hand, I thought I had something to brag about to my children and grandchildren when I was old (yes, that's what I did).
Who hasn't had the first time? Looking back at what I wrote at that time, I want to apply to the editor for withdrawal. But I persisted at that time and earned tens of thousands of dollars by the way. To tell the truth, the money is nothing compared with the time and energy I spent. I don't like it at all.
But I really like it.
Step by step, I used my spare time to learn other people's writing methods, accumulated various materials, and began to try to transform after writing several novels. Although I didn't make a lot of money writing online articles, I got more things: good self-discipline habits, witty laughter and scolding, good reputation in the editor's mouth, and recognition from other platforms ... Maybe for some people who take money as the standard, you think so.
However, I must emphasize again that satisfaction is not enough for outsiders.
You will be satisfied when readers urge and discuss with you in Weibo's private messages, comment areas and QQ groups.
You will be satisfied when you receive the ticket for the first time and are recognized on the list;
Even when you look back at the immature articles, you will be satisfied.
Among the authors I know, those who have persisted for more than five years have made small achievements. Although they can't earn 300 thousand a day or10 million a year, it's okay to earn tens of thousands of pocket money a year. Diligent people have more other benefits, and some even quit their jobs to open a shop at home or Taobao shop. They write novels, sell department stores and make hair accessories when they have nothing to do.
So, don't say that these people fantasize about getting rich. Their fantasy is no different from most people's desire for promotion and salary increase to marry Bai.
You have to work overtime on weekends from nine to five, and they have days when they never give up.
I really don't understand how anyone can hold the old-fashioned view that this profession can't engage in life today when the Internet is extremely developed. Who told you this is the only way we can make money?
Well, speaking of which, I summarize two points:
1. People who write online articles have no problem even if they want to make money. It is also a career planning and pursuit.
Don't say anything that is unreliable and unrealistic. How do you know that it will be realistic to want to get a promotion and raise in your present career and reach the peak of your life? No one is more noble and awesome than anyone else, right? (doge? Face)
2.? As time goes by, the authors who refuse to spend their time and energy on learning and progress will be expelled, those who don't make money will be expelled, those who don't have dreams will be expelled, and those who stay will either make money or have dreams like me (Jiao Jiao, don't bite me).
So, don't worry about us network writers (code writers).
If you really think how good your industry is, how reliable and realistic you are, please-
Is KPI overfulfilled?
How about a promotion and a raise?
There are hundreds of thousands of year-end awards, right?
Have you written the summary of 20 16?
Have you made the plan for 20 17?
How many houses did you buy in the north?
Have you found a future wife and husband?
Has the child's key primary school degree been solved? ...
Ha ha ha ha! I seem to be unkind again, right?
