The beginning of 2024 is my fourth year of doing self-media, thinking back to 2020, I just stepped into Shanxi Province to do self-media with joy, and the small circle has never been in contact with video editing, let alone copyediting.
Overcoming obstacles all the way, doing batches, doing second creations, doing originals, and the quality that is about to be made, I have been fighting with video for three years, and the video has abused me thousands of times, and I am like my first love for video.
In the last year, because of the earth-shattering advent of ChatGPT, he stepped directly into copywriting from the video industry, and since then, he has been out of control, and he has overcome obstacles all the way, and he didn't have time to take a breath.
It's been all the way, it's finally time to take a breath, it's not that the media can't do it, but it's time to calm down and think, this article is not written by chance, I may have looked forward to it three years ago, but I just forgot it, therefore, this review and outlook, I just want to say a hard truth, that is, follow the awesome people, do awesome things.
01
The first cattle company
As the saying goes, in an industry, three years to get started, five years to enter the industry and ten years to be king, this sentence has always been in my heart, so in the process of these three years, no matter what achievements I have made in the media, I will use this sentence to remind myself that in fact, I am just getting started, and there are still many things to learn.
Because three years ago, when I had been relying on manual repetitive editing, I didn't expect that now many operations can be completed automatically, although I also achieved small semi-automatic through software or coding three years ago, but in the final analysis, it is a huge gap in technology and a huge change in self-media.
Let's talk about the brief experience of the past three years, the first year just started to step into the self-media, found a small company, did the second video cut, and after a few months, I went to a well-known self-media company in North China, the name is inconvenient to disclose, but the fame is really very big, here I have my eyes opened, and there are a lot of projects, although I have been exposed to the second creation of the video, but it is much better than the previous one, the work is very serious, the first day I went to the supervisor and asked if it would be PR editing software.
"Yes, yes, but not too esoteric!"
"It doesn't matter, as long as you know C/V (shortcuts). ”
It can be seen that at that time, it was still a simple second creation, but the amount of tasks every day was a lot, and I basically had to work overtime every day, but the hard work paid off, I did a lot, I had a lot of inspiration, people said that there was no way to go in vain, every step counted, and the inspiration accumulated in the first small company was all right here, and the video exploded every day, and soon became the team leader, leading more than a dozen employees to make profits for the company.
02
The second cow man
That's 25 years old very young, I just want to learn from the media, get in touch with the core, and earn enough "steamed buns" to spend, and I don't think about how much I pay a month and how much I get, because I heard that the self-media is very popular, as long as I learn it, I don't have to worry about making steamed buns at all, so in a big company for a year and a half, I learned a lot and contacted a lot of cores, but I don't earn much steamed buns.
So, later by chance, I met a like-minded cow friend of the same age, he is very powerful, before I met him, he has been deeply involved in the media for about three years, and very hard, so he encouraged me to resign and start a business together, we hit it off, after starting a business, there have been great achievements, there have been downturns, but in the past two years, it is okay.
Although I know a lot of things myself, I have learned more about self-media operations with him, including diversified fields, although we have been doing video, copywriting is rarely contacted, either because the circle is still small, or because the video income is not bad.
But then I learned that the beginning of 2020 was the time when the self-media began to lose the title of "making money", and now I often think that it would be good if I could go a year earlier, and I often hear them say that 2018 and 2019 are the golden period of self-media.

The third bull man
In 2023, AI will be rampant, and it will not only bring impact to self-media, which is only a niche, and now artificial intelligence has been widely used in all walks of life.
However, it brings us not only impact, but also many opportunities, and how to control it is the key!
Since I came into contact with AI writing last year, I have more and more control over self-media, first of all, I am doing self-media, I definitely can't just know how to video, copywriting must also be learned, why?
With the birth of more and more high-quality authors, the platform content is also dazzling, the first impact is the older generation of TOP list accounts, and they don't understand the change and are finally harvested by the platform, even if you have more fans, the platform can't get profits from you for a few years, it will definitely not work.
Soon, I came across "He Xiang Says Writing", I had encountered a lot of writing camps before, but I don't know why, this time it was like a magnetic, I was directly attracted by Mr. He's AI writing camp training, and after a call with Mr. He Xiang, I decisively chose to sign up for the camp.
When I came in, I found that I had opened up a new world, and here, I dispelled some of my self-media anxiety, it turned out that it was not that the industry was not good, but the technology was not good.
In the past few months, my writing skills have improved a lot, and I can be pleasantly surprised to feel that I can also try to write high-quality articles.
So, in a word, follow the awesome people and do the awesome things!
My choice is very right, here, there are many like-minded friends, so that I am not alone on the road of self-media!
