How lucrative is Internet "fortune telling"? Some people can earn four figures in half an hour
If you want to ask, is one thing that young people do today when they encounter difficulties.
The Internet "fortune telling" must be on the list.
Going to school, looking for a job, finding a partner, and even breaking up with your ex, you have to find someone to count. And up to the constellation tarot, down to the I Ching eight characters, the main thing is that everything can be sought.
really responds to that sentence, between going to work and being motivated, young people would rather choose "incense".
From time to time, the world will also swipe some tarot card analysis videos on the platform.
But after talking to the relevant practitioners, I found out that the water here is quite deep...
According to Xiao Li, a friend of Shichao who specializes in divination, divination belongs to the occult system, and there are even so-called "official" institutions, such as the Royal Academy of Astrology in the United Kingdom.
However, I learned that this Royal Academy of Astrology is not a university in our traditional understanding, and their diploma recognition is more in a fixed circle.
Including before, Harry Potter by J· K· Rowling's alma mater, the University of Exeter, announced that it would offer a master's degree in "Magic and Occultism", which is actually a study of history, not a teaching you how to learn Xi magic.
Therefore, in Shichao's view, all kinds of divination should be taken as a psychological comfort.
If you really believe that metaphysics can change your life against the sky, then you will be deceived if you can't keep it.
At the beginning of this year, an Internet celebrity was arrested for this.
In the past two years, Shichao found that divination on the Internet has put on the shell of an app again.
Like Quiz, Astrology, and Accurate, these apps monetize by offering paid consulting services.
It is equivalent to moving the previous offline divination and private domain divination to the platform.
Earlier, these apps were particularly popular in the capital markets.
According to incomplete statistics from the investment community, from 2014 to 2019, nearly 20 divination and numerology products have received financing.
For example, the test app also received financing from Tencent in 2021.
It's just that after these metaphysical products were attacked by the state, there was no longer any sound.
Most of the apps that can still be seen on the market today are frantically trying to be on the edge of regulation.
However, in Xiao Li's opinion, several divination apps on the market are quite pertinent in terms of content, which is completely enough for divination enthusiasts.
But most divination practitioners are still focused on their own private domain.
Because the revenue on the app is not an order of magnitude compared to the revenue of the private domain.
For example, the price of a paid divination built into an app is basically 50 yuan per hexagram, and the soothsayer will get 20-30 yuan.
In this regard, his original words were, "The hourly wage is low, I might as well start a live broadcast." ”
But to do your own private domain, generally speaking, an hourly salary of 100-300 is relatively normal, and there is no cap, and it is even possible to charge four figures for half an hour.
According to Xiao Li, Tencent used a monthly salary of 15k to recruit occult researchers to make content for APP development, and was ridiculed by the crowd in their circle.
If you still don't know the salary level of divination intuitively, you can take a look at this price list.
The fortune of a year is 218, and a one-to-one half an hour is 168, and if there is an extension problem, you have to add money.
And if you have to charge a fee, there are many more names.
Like candles and magic rituals, there is a fee, and the price ranges from 88-1888, and the price of each soothsayer is different.
Therefore, when everyone is working for a salary of thousands of yuan every month, some people have already relied on divination to earn five figures a month.
But what I didn't expect the most was that divination has now developed to the point where it can be called an "industry".
It not only has practitioners, but also a mature industrial chain.
Moreover, one person can be a complete industrial chain.
Including divination, selling transshipment products, doing rituals, and after-sales consultation, basically one person can make a circle, or several people can open a studio together to operate.
Even some people with qualifications can earn a lot by teaching people divination.
According to Xiao Li, if you really want to do deep cultivation in the occult industry, it is no different from doing scientific research, and it is generally required to be able to use Latin.
Nowadays, most people either do their own private domain, or turn to new media platforms to do content output, such as Tao Baibai's constellation analysis.
And, in their circles, there is also a saying of "research".
Like the American ATA Tarot Association, the Chinese Tarot Association, these non-governmental organizations can issue certificates, and what Taoist conversion certificates.
It's just that in our opinion, it's a bit of a layman's sense of being lively...
Anyway, after learning about it, I think the development of this industry is a bit beyond imagination, whether it is the various doorways in it, or the high and somewhat scary hourly salary.
The reason why I wrote this article is that Shichao doesn't want everyone to change careers to do this, and he won't justify any divination.
It's just that there is still some chaos in simply showing you the development status of the divination industry.
If you expect metaphysics to change your life, it's better to wake up as soon as possible.
We can regard this kind of Internet "fortune telling" as a kind of psychological counseling, and we can forget about psychological comfort.
But metaphysics is still metaphysics after all, and if you want to solve problems, you have to rely on yourself.
