When I was writing an article a few days ago, a news of participating in the "Article Launch Challenge" popped up on the Toutiao platform, and I didn't even look at the specific activities, so I clicked on it by the way when I posted it.
After the article was published, the title and title of the article appeared in blue font "Article First Release Challenge", indicating that my article successfully participated in the essay contest.
After posting the article, out of curiosity, I clicked on Toutiao's "Activity Square" and browsed, and it turned out that Toutiao had launched a new activity: participate in the first article challenge and win a cash prize of 200,000 yuan!
I have to say that in order to encourage the author to publish the original debut, the headline platform is really full of tricks and tries every possible way! Investing 200,000 yuan in bonuses is also willing to spend money!
But judging from the requirements for the first release of the article and the detailed rules of the challenge, it seems difficult to win the award.
The people who write articles are nothing more than expressing personal feelings, earning some pennies and cents, chatting and communicating with like-minded people on the Internet, and passing the free time.
Last year, I participated in many car essay contests and TV drama essay contests, and won a total of nearly 2,000 yuan three times.
What I didn't expect was that after burying my aunt, the article I posted because of my feelings was actually favored by the platform and readers, and in a day or two, the platform showed hundreds of thousands of times, and the number of reads reached more than 30,000, and the people who liked and commented were also extraordinarily active.
At first, I replied seriously one by one, but then I really didn't have the time and energy to read and reply, so I gave a thumbs up to the friends who commented one by one to show my gratitude.
Despite this, I didn't think that this article would get any reward, after all, the number of articles read last week was there, and it was not easy to exceed a lot.
What I didn't expect was that in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, I actually received a system notification: Hello, dear creator. Thank you for actively participating in the release of the "First Article", and congratulations on winning the 12th Time First Launch Subsidy ......
I opened the total income in a sleepy haze and took a look, and there was really a income of 16.45 yuan in the account, although the reward is not much, but after all, it is the reward of Toutiao, and it is the affirmation and encouragement of Toutiao to one of my original creators, much better than the leader of my unit, no matter how good I do, I am reluctant to award me an extra dime!
After reading it, I was excited and didn't feel sleepy for a few hours in the middle of the night.
I thought that this article received a total of 16.45 yuan in rewards, and there will be no more later, but what I didn't expect was that in the second half of yesterday night, I received another system notification: Dear creators, hello. Thank you for ..........
I opened the total income again in the dark night and took a look, wow! There was an income of 41.51 yuan in the account, which was more than yesterday! I was excited and I didn't feel sleepy, I used to sleep poorly on weekdays, but now it's better, and I can't sleep anymore.
Sometimes it's ridiculous to think about it, I spend five or six hundred yuan to treat sleep, but I often get excited about insomnia for a few cents and dozens of dollars.
Acupuncture has just improved my insomnia, but the reward of dozens of yuan has pulled me back to my original biological clock.
In addition to thanking Toutiao for this platform, I am also very grateful to the people who read my articles, everyone is my "food and clothing", which gives me the enthusiasm and motivation to create in addition to my tedious work.
Today, a new fan sent me a private message:
"It's so well written, I've read a lot of your articles. ”
"After reading it all day, the writing is very good, fascinating, flesh and blood, and I especially love to read articles like this. ”
I replied to him twice: "Special thanks!" "Thank you again, maybe you and I have a common language!"
Seriously, I am especially grateful to someone who is willing to read my articles, although I don't know which of my articles he reads, but anyway, his affirmation of me made me decide again: keep writing!
Another friend, I can see from the trajectory of her likes, she read my articles and micro-headlines one by one from morning to night every day for a week, and I was particularly moved! I never thought that my words could bring enjoyment to others.
I also know that many friends and friends are looking forward to me continuing "Those Things in the Township", and I really want to continue to write, but my health in the second half of this year is too unsatisfactory, and I sit for less than half an hour, either the unbearable back pain, or the dizziness, which disappoints friends again and again.
In any case, I believe that I will definitely complete the creation of "Those Things in the Township", after all, the spiritual wealth left to me by those years, as well as the many people and things that changed my personal destiny, I need to commemorate and thank them through articles.
It's too much, it's far away, it was originally about writing rewards, and it's been pulled to other places.
The reward of the platform has made me see the determination of the platform to support original works, and now, the self-media is chaotic, and the phenomenon of plagiarism and handling is endless, it is indeed time to govern and govern, but at the same time of governing plagiarism, we should also treat and reward the original creator, so that the platform can be hopeful and competitive.
As creators, we should continue to insist on originality, insist on writing with heart, and prefer lack to excess.
