Recently, I was doing a live stream on Douyin about how to write on Toutiao.
As I was talking, a friend asked me how to make a video.
Then I'll share my experience of making videos with you.
If you're not going to make an appearance, there's a really good idea!
In fact, the income from making videos is quite high, but in my case, I wrote faster, but I didn't make videos, and I wasted a lot of popular money in vain
Let's start by showing you the video I made in December.
You see, I didn't do a few, but the number of views of each video was okay.
The content in these videos is based on articles I wrote.
However, I make changes before I make a video, and I remove large sections.
For example, if I write an article of 1800 words, if I make a video, I should try to make the number of words shorter, otherwise it will be too tiring to just change the picture, and others may not have the patience to watch such a long video.
Let's take a look at the income of this article, this one has more than 90,000 views.
You see, the income is 50 yuan.
Don't you think it's nice to have an extra income like this?
I've written too much in the past two years.
But I rarely make videos myself, but I am made into videos by others. (I advise you not to do this, because the system will still recognize it, and sooner or later you will be judged for violating the rules.) For example, if A copies mine, and then B copies mine, B will be convicted of violating the rules, and since A keeps doing this, he may be convicted of violating the rules one day. ）
But why didn't I make a video?
The main reason is that it usually takes more than half an hour to make a video, and it takes more than half an hour for me to write an article, or even less. Then I'd rather write one more article.
Because I always have a lot of topics to write about, and it is rare that I don't know what to write.
Ways to make videos
Let's download a Jianying app first.
After opening, go to this "picture and text film".
Then there will be a place for you to put your copy in.
You enter the copy, which is the article, and click "Apply".
Let's all try it.
The auto-generated videos are dubbed, and if you don't think the sound sounds, you can also choose your own favorite voice.
However, some voices may cost money.
Let's choose those that don't cost money at the beginning, and when we make money, we can choose the voice we like more.
If you don't have high requirements for video effects, maybe you can make a video in a few minutes.
But if you're demanding on video, it's going to take a lot of time.
Because this software gives you auto-generated videos, there must be some pictures in it that you don't like or feel inappropriate.
Personally, I think that since I have made videos, I should try to make them better.
If you want to apply for V or something later, the background will also judge the quality of your video.
So let's either not do it, or try to do it well.
And I just didn't have the patience to change the picture, so I simply gave up.
You see, according to the copy I put in there earlier, the auto-generated video looks like this.
You see, I obviously think there are a lot of pictures that don't fit.
The oral videos I do now are my favorite
In the past two years, I have never thought about appearing on the camera, because I am not confident, have low self-esteem, and because I am afraid of being seen by acquaintances.
Of course, I also feel that I can spend my income from writing.
On January 5th, when I received a call from my mother's family, someone in the family was sick, and I was upset all of a sudden, and it was very stressful during that time, so I started to do live broadcasts on January 16th, and then I had to go on.
Doing oral videos is obviously different from the kind of video above.
Because I don't have to change a lot of images, I find it much easier.
Moreover, I have started to do live broadcasts, so it is naturally beneficial for me to do such oral videos.
The current income is not particularly high, only a few yuan, but I am not in a hurry, take your time, it is not easy to take this step bravely.
Steps to do an oral video
Download a teleprompter, copy your written copy ahead of time, and hit that big plus key.
Then click "Add Script".
Regarding the content of the script, you can also write it now, or even voice type.
Once you're done, click on "Start Teleprompter" and you're good to go.
Then you look at the camera and look at the subtitles.
However, I'm just starting to do it now, and I'm not proficient yet, so I can't help but look at the subtitles, and it's better to say it directly to the video before.
The short videos I have taken before are all spoken to the phone, but sometimes I will stumble, and I have to do it again if I say it wrong, and sometimes I have to shoot a video several times, which is quite time-consuming.
Now watching subtitles, the advantage is that you won't stumble, but the disadvantage is that you can't keep your eyes glued to the camera all the time.
But don't worry, let's practice slowly.
Write at the end
Recently, I've been asked by friends if I'm good at making videos, how to do it, how much I earn, etc., so I have to share it after thinking about it.
Because since I've been teaching people how to write, make videos, and do live streams lately, I naturally have to share that.
I hope no more people say I've made money or anything. [covers face]
In fact, I usually dry it when the income is small, and I don't dry it when I have more.
I myself like to watch others post their profits, and I think it can inspire me.
I also hope that my experience can inspire more friends.
We are all ordinary people, all of whom come to Toutiao to make money, and I hope we can all get along in harmony and work together to create a harmonious and beautiful network society.
