Short video editing can be used as a scam, billions can be scammed.
Short video, you must have tried it.
You should also know more or less that you can make money by becoming a blogger.
But would you believe it if I told you that short videos can also be used as fund scams, scamming you out of billions?
Why? Whether you're editing a video or buying a video (someone else's clipped), it has nothing to do with your capital, right? How did you cheat?
Even bad reviewers who have experienced hundreds of online scams are curious.
The short video editing platform of this "explosive" is called Piggy You. The business model is very simple.
After users purchase material packages (or copyright packages) from Xiaozhu Premium Edition, they edit the second-generation video according to the material package, upload them to Xiaozhu and distribute them to other platforms, and send them back to the creators after receiving the revenue.
In simple terms, users only need to buy the copyright package, then edit the video, and wait to make money. The platform takes care of the rest.
This business model sounds great on the surface, but it's still a big pain point for creators today.
In the past, when creators recreated film and television dramas through narration, mixed editing, stitching, etc., it may infringe the copyright of the content and cause disputes. The model of the lard version solves the copyright problem of the creator.
As early as a few years ago, Chang's short video platform was arguing over copyright issues, and only this year has reached cooperation one after another
that
How did it evolve into capital markets?
To understand the problem, Bad Reviewer approached Ms. Fu, the victim of the little lard version, who told me about her experience.
Ms. Fu's previous two bosses were both on Xiaozhu You, so she came into contact with this platform. At the end of September 2022, Piggy Companion sold the copyright package of the game category.
Her boss at the time often discussed daily income with friends in the company. She was very touched when she heard about the high income, so she found someone from Xiaozhu You, bought her first bag, and began the journey of "earning extra money".
This is a sales chart circulating in their group
Ms. Fu purchased two sets of copyright packages in a row, each priced at 128,000 yuan, but agents at all levels had discounts. Ms. Fu's two packages have discounts of 17% and 20% respectively, so the actual cost of the two packages is about 208,000.
Please note that you will only own some of the copyrighted assets after purchasing the plan, and you will need to edit and upload the second generation video yourself.
Each content pack (or copyright package) contains 10 sub-accounts
, after editing, you can upload it through the sub-account.
Each sub-account can only publish one video per day.
However, you can earn money for every video you post.
How much? Take Ms. Fu as an example when she joined the industry at the end of last year. At that time, the revenue per video was between 90 and 100, and the monthly income of a group of accounts was between 17,000 and 23,000.
This is a great income for many people, especially Ms. Fu. She earns 3,000 a month, her husband has no job, and the family has a debt of 300,000, ranging from 3,000 to 20,000. For her, it's an effective way to make money.
However, income is declining every month.
Ms. Fu told me that when her boss did it, she could get 1,700 yuan a day for a group of 170 people per video. By the time she joined the game, it had dropped to 90~100/video, and by the middle of this year it had dropped to 50~60/each.
In February this year, a post called "Film and television package plummeted, how are you" appeared in the Piggy Premium Bar. Many friends have talked about a sharp drop in income. Some single-video revenue dropped from 80 to 43, and some dropped to 50 or 60.
Let's say a single video is 60 yuan, a set of packages can earn 600 yuan per day, which translates to a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan, which is already very good, but it is a "gap" for them, and they begin to wonder when they are not doing the right thing.
Although the salary is high, it is not easy for them to earn this money.
Ms. Fu told me that the videos they upload will go through several layers of review, including manual review, machine review, and many review rules. Basic rules include no plagiarism, content duration, video resolution, and more advanced ones, adding special effects.
If you don't meet the criteria, you will be deducted points, which will affect your income. The user must then maintain the account/report through the proxy to get the revenue back.
Under the strict review rules, Mr. Fu has also put a lot of effort into video production.
Ms. Fu is middle-aged, and the digital age often seems strange to her. She taught herself editing skills through Bilibili videos. If she really didn't understand, she asked the others in the studio. After a year in the studio, she can only gradually edit independently, but each video still takes a long time.
While taking care of her children at home, she stayed up late every day editing videos, even at one or two in the morning.
So for her, this income is more of a 'salary', which is earned through hard work, and there are many people like her.
Ms. Fu makes game videos, but she can't play games, let alone commentary. She often doesn't know the game characters, so she only makes mixed-cut videos that stimulate killing, and only does the glory of the king ↓↓
In the middle of this year, Ms. Fu made the mistake of repeatedly uploading the previous day's video. She was judged a video plagiarist and deducted points, and her income was immediately reduced to 3.5 per video.
Coincidentally, the Piggy Edition has also launched an improved version. After the upgrade, the account will be upgraded from version 1.0 to version 2.0, and the points deducted can also be restored, after the upgrade
No payment required
, you only need to register and link 11 platform accounts such as Douyin and Kuaishou.
This wave of escalation is very subtle. Ms. Fu told me that she used to make ten videos a day. After the upgrade, she only produces one video per day and distributes it to 11 platforms with one click. The cost of the time invested is significantly reduced.
What's even more interesting is that the income actually increased. Before the upgrade, Ms. Fu often earned more than 600 yuan, and after the upgrade, she earned more than 900 yuan per day.
In short: it's very attractive. After the upgrade went online, a "pig farmer" in Henan upgraded multiple groups of accounts at one time↓↓
Many smart internet surfers see this and see something wrong.
One
Short videosThis is a good trend, but can you earn 20,000 a month by going to someone else's house to cut and cut videos?
YouTube should be one of the video platforms with the strongest traffic incentives on the entire network. YouTube 10,000 active views typically range from $120 to $160. However, on Piggy You, videos that have been viewed more than 2,000 times can also make money. There are more than 900, what kind of traffic incentive is this, isn't this random coin . . .
Secondly, as long as you have looked at a series of online scams in the past, you know that there are low-risk, high-reward ways to make money in this world, but
Low risk, high reward?
This is a Ponzi scheme that will crash sooner or later.
If you forget the word material package and simplify the facts, Xiaozhu's business model is basically like this: after investing 128,000 yuan, you can get 17,000 to 23,000 yuan per month.
Does it look familiar again?
Under the packaging of "entrepreneurial project" + "short video bonus" + "high return", it is difficult to say how many people have been scammed.
Individual "creators" like Ms. Fu are basically at the bottom of the Piglet pyramid. Under the investment promotion and working methods of Xiaozhu Youban, many people eventually participate in profits as the main body of the company and become provincial and municipal agents of Xiaozhu Youban.
They mainly have two ways to make money. One of them is to expand Creators in the region, earning money by selling copyright packs. Secondly, they also buy copyright packs to clip videos. In addition to uploading the edited videos to the backend for profit, the perks can also be sold at a low price.
There are many people who sell videos directly in Tieba .
Ms. Fu has two sets of accounts, one created by herself and the other purchased and uploaded videos from the agency, each video is 17 yuan.
In addition, according to Ms. Fu's photo, the victim found that the actual price of the copyright package may be as low as 60,000↓↓
"They deserve to be hurt."
Some people have no sympathy for victims of Ponzi schemes;
They believe that the victims are fully aware of the tiger in the mountain and believe that the Ponzi scheme is a "Russian wheel." They bet they won't be the last. If they win, they will take huge profits. If they lose, they pay the loss while making a profit.
But the excellent version of Piglet is just a show, which deeply affects people's belief in "working to get rich".
, using a piece of cake called a "startup project" to increase credibility, not only asking for money, but also staying up late to work, which attracts the second category of people.
These people get lost in the various rare words of today's internet. They don't understand new memes every day like internet surfers do, nor do they understand the business logic of complex vocabulary. Simply put, "everyone makes money". "Deposited into the account every month" and "I also earn money by labor", thoughts filled the dark jungle of the digital age.
After the explosion of the Piggy version, the victims quickly gathered and began to talk about the topic.
But when you open the message bar of Piggy Post, you will find that the hottest news in the message bar is not the rights protection news, but the news about new scams.
History always repeats itself in cycles.
