Taking stock of the articles I published in online media in the past year, how much did I earn in total? Say it and you won't believe it!
Most of the articles I have written over the past decade or so have been published on Facebook. Since last year, I have planned to submit my teaching experience, knowledge, comments and other articles to multiple online media. Later, I joined Fanggezi's content cooperation reprint plan, and they took the initiative to help me screen articles and submit them to major platforms in order to increase their popularity. Here's a look at the number of articles published this year:
- Key Review Network: 8
- Wind Media: 6 articles
- Independent Reviews: 2
- Parent-child world: 2 articles
- Future Family: 1 article
- Report Orange: 1 article
- Business Week: 1 article
- 104 Workplace Power: 1 Article
Originally, I planned to use the power of online media to help me deliver articles to the audience accurately and build my personal brand. However, this year, to be honest, the effect is not significant. Although a few articles have extremely high click-through rates, and even reached the top three of the media's weekly ranking list, and some readers commented that they were quite useful, but -- these sites will not help you hang up your signs. Some even the author's name is not easy to find, it is difficult to start a name.
As for how much money I made from these 22 articles published in the online media? the answer is:
0 yuan
You read that right, I didn't miss any numbers in front of the "0", that is, 0 yuan is correct. Moreover, among these 22 articles, there are two or three articles written by editors to invite manuscripts or request for reposting, of course, they are all free of charge. Besides, you can make some extra money with LikeCoin by posting articles on Fangzi or Matters, but how can these online platforms be so merciful to help you install the clap button? In the end, there is really nothing...
I know there's nothing to complain about this, after all, I knew it was free when I authorized it, and I also earned "a little" fame from them. However, I still regret that Taiwan's online media generally lack the concept of " creation has value " - even if we are just unknown writers, these works are written by us after a long period of accumulation and painstaking efforts!
I sincerely hope that these well-known online media can uphold the principle of " creation is valuable " to treat contributors. After all, since the work has passed your screening, it means that it has a certain level, which can attract the attention of netizens and contribute to your website. bring traffic. So, is it possible to establish a profit sharing mechanism and give some feedback to the author according to the click-through rate? (or at least help install LikeCoin)
In this way, won't it also stimulate the creative atmosphere and harvest more high-quality works?
How many writers who originally had creative enthusiasm, because they did not get substantial benefits, over time, their enthusiasm was extinguished, and they stopped writing? I have no idea. But as far as I am concerned, I have long ceased to actively submit articles to online media, and let Fang Zizi reprint for me; when I saw that the article was inexplicably submitted, I just closed the page with an "oh" sound-- I see , or to manage your own writing platform is true!
Like my work? Don't forget to support and clap, let me know that you are with me on the road of creation. Keep this enthusiasm together!
