2022 has set sail, and many things should also have new plans, especially writing and public account operations.
Doing the public account, I was a failure, quite a failure.
Since its registration in January 2018, it has published more than 700 original articles and more than 4,000 fans in four years. The average reading is only 200-300, and even some articles have only a few dozen reads.
In July this year, I read many articles in a row, which really surprised me, thinking that the spring of the public account had come.
However, it turns out that those "brilliant moments" are just luck, short-lived, and fleeting.
In the months that followed, reading continued to slump, and now it is getting worse. I reflect day and day, I can't sleep at night, always thinking, what is the problem?
I want to do a good job, but I still can't do it, and I must be in a lot of pain and physically and mentally exhausted. I didn't spend a day wondering how to make the public account quickly increase its fans and achieve profitability.
To do public accounts, the vast majority of people are for making money, which is equivalent to an entrepreneurial project.
Unfortunately, I understood a little late, I have only used the public account as an article distribution platform, never seriously thought about what the public account should be like, blindly updated every day, and then eclipsed by the dismal data.
I don't want to do this again!
Something must change in 2022, otherwise no matter how long it persists, there will be no breakthrough.
There is no road in life, every step counts
In four years, the public account has not been done, which is my biggest failure, and I should reflect on it well. In addition to reflection, we must also affirm our four-year persistence.
I still remember that I first learned about self-media writing, groped wildly, spent a whole year to try and make mistakes, and did not find a clear direction until 2019, so I opened the daily change mode.
In other words, the time I write full-time is actually three years. In these three years, the effort and the gain are directly proportional.
At present, the total number of fans I have on major self-media platforms is 200,000+, realizing the dream of writing and making money while taking care of my family.
Therefore, these four years have not been wasted, and every step taken has meaning.
2022 will be different from previous years
No one doesn't want to get better. To get better, you have to put in more effort.
In the circle of self-media, there are too many excellent people, and many of them are very young.
I envy them for having passion, talent, self-discipline, deep cultivation in their own field, and finally reaching the peak of life.
I want to be that kind of person. Although it was a little late to start, I still had to have a dream.
In 2022, I want to do two things seriously.
First thing: operate the official account
In fact, I have always known that the public account needs to be operated, but I just didn't do it. One is limited energy, the other is not confident.
Limited energy, let alone, really want to do something, there will always be time and energy.
I am ashamed to say that I am not confident enough, I always feel that the articles I write are not good enough, shallow, and have no depth, so I dare not promote it, and even the fans who pay attention to me do not dare to expect it.
I almost never call on everyone to like, leave a message, forward, tip, is afraid that everyone will resent, so it has always been a natural state.
Many public account owners will give fans some benefits from time to time, such as sending gifts, lottery, sending red envelopes, etc., but I have never, why?
Because I am afraid that no one will hold the scene, after all, I can't afford to send expensive gifts, nor can I afford to give big red envelopes, and I always feel that everyone will look down on them.
There are many concerns and the road ahead. From now on, I want to throw away all these concerns.
In the near future, I will reposition the official account, including article content, typography style, function settings, fan benefits, etc.
Second thing: keep writing articles
When I first started writing in self-media, my signature was: "Freelance writer, focus on the emotional essay." ”
Emotional texts, there are many kinds. For example, spiritual beauty, emotional stories, emotional views, etc., I mainly write about these types.
In the new year, while insisting on creating in the emotional field, I am ready to write about the mental journey of freelancing, as well as some personal writing experience, hoping to give some help to friends in need.
Writing is a lonely thing, but words can also soothe loneliness.
I am very fortunate to be able to turn my childhood hobby into a lifelong career. The rest of life is still very long, and the future is full of infinite possibilities, as long as you persevere in exploring, discovering, learning, and improving.
I don't know if I can succeed in the true sense of the word if I keep writing it. But no matter what, only by doing it and insisting on it can we know the result.
Even if I persisted to the end, I still failed to achieve the goal in my heart, but at least, I have worked hard and have no regrets in my heart.
Many friends who used to write together are not many who are still insisting. In fact, it is a pity, in my opinion, the writing thing is worth a lifetime.
Write at the end:
Thank you for your attention, because with your company, my writing path will not be alone.
I hope you will continue to support me, and I will try to write a good article.
I hope that one day, my public account can also rise to tens of thousands of fans.
I know that this is a distant dream, but it is always good to have a dream, and there is a dream to have direction, motivation, and hope.
In 2022, may we meet a better version of ourselves together.
