In the morning, I saw a comment from a friend, and she said "decided not to write anymore".

is also a member of ordinary creators, and I can understand the helplessness in her heart.

is neither a big V, does not have many fans, nor does he have any qualifications in the field, the number of works he writes is low, and the number of readings is "touching......

Without much profit and no direction, it is difficult to have the motivation to persevere.

Actually, how could I not be like that myself?

Looking back on the process of creating Toutiao, I also stumbled along the way, full of ups and downs.

I can still remember it vividly:

Happiness when you see the benefits for the first time;

depression at the time of the first violation of the penalty points;

the ecstasy of writing a small hit essay for the first time;

Helplessness when the first review is not passed;

……

Countless firsts, countless times I wanted to give up, and countless times I kindled the flame of hope.

In the process of repeating and repeating, I really realized that truth: only by persevering can there be infinite possibilities.

Benefits

Creation lasted 153 days, with a total income of 1,382 yuan.

When I saw the number 153, I was also surprised that I had persisted for so long.

I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, but the initial motivation that allowed me to stick to it was nothing more than a few cents a day.

Let me show you some of the journeys I've been through:

On November 18, 2023, I started writing articles in Toutiao, writing 1-2 articles a day.

In the first week of writing, I felt that I was writing on a single machine, with a steady income of 0 as few Morning Star's readings.

At that time, I knew almost nothing about headline writing.

The content of the writing is all spontaneous: what I see, what I see, what I think about the trivial things around me, and what I think about occasionally...... ,

I have never thought about the title of the article, and I have come up with a random one.

The result can be imagined, although the novice support period, but the income has been zero.

However, the freshness of my first attempt at writing has always supported me to keep writing.

On November 22, 2023, the first gain was seen: 2 cents

A breakthrough in earnings from scratch.

It's winter, and the article is based on a report on the price of down jackets.

Although it was only 2 cents, I remembered how excited I was at that time, as if it was just yesterday.

Finally got rid of the illusion of stand-alone writing, and it turned out that you can really make money.

From that day on, a feeling of recognition swelled up in my heart, and I was immediately full of motivation.

On January 28, 2024, the income of the first article exceeded 1 yuan: 1.11 yuan

After achieving a breakthrough from scratch, his own gains oscillated between zero and hair.

About two months later, I wrote an article based on what my wife had seen at work, and the income exceeded 1 yuan.

Compared with the previous few cents, this is the first time I have realized the transformation from cents to yuan.

On February 6, 2024, the income of a single article will reach 5 yuan for the first time

When the Chinese New Year was approaching, he wrote an article about Messi, and the income was 5.01 yuan.

This is already the peak of my single article income in the first 3 months.

On February 29, 2024, the biggest gain at that time: 20.24 yuan!

However, this income does not come from articles, but from participating in Toutiao's "Time Journey" event.

Anyway, it was all gains, and the excitement in my heart at that time was indescribable.

On the same day, he posted a micro-headline, sighing: "In terms of income, maybe participating in the event is the best choice for yourself."

At that time, my own situation was indeed the same.

Although I had the experience of 5 yuan for a single article, it was just a flash in the pan. Soon it became a few cents of ups and downs.

From then until now, I have been concentrating on participating in the "Spring Life Check-in Season".

On March 19, 2024, a new height of revenue for a single article: 41.58 yuan!

At this time, more than 3 months have passed since I started writing.

That is, from this article, I seriously summarized and reviewed it, and slowly found a little feeling, and the situation began to improve.

If it weren't for the precipitation and persistence of the previous nearly 4 months, I would not have been able to get to where I am now.

It's finally April, and it's this month.

On April 1st, he ushered in his first hit, with a single income: 887 yuan!

The article was viewed 2.38 million times and read 260,000 times.

This is also the most read article I have read so far, and it can be regarded as the most glorious moment.

The moment I saw the benefits, I was excited to share the joy with my wife.

It was because of this income that my wife finally recognized my writing in Toutiao and supported my writing.

In fact, she always felt that writing was just a hobby for me, and it was better to do something else when I had time.

From not being recognized to being supported, I also feel that the perseverance of the past four months is worth it.

Write at the end

After the income chapter, looking at the income I talked about, it seems that the sesame seeds are blooming and rising, but in fact it is not.

This can be seen at a glance by looking at the yield curve: the earnings of the previous four months are almost a horizon. The later earnings are also ups and downs.

The most recent January earnings curve

In the total income of 1,382 yuan, more than 95% of the income came from April, and the daily income was basically stable at 10 yuan.

Without the persistence of the first 4 months, there will be no subsequent gains.

So in the face of the question: "Will Toutiao continue to hold on without revenue?"

My answer is firm: if you want to make a profit, you have to stick to it.

Because to give up, it means that everything is zero.

Only by persevering can there be infinite possibilities.

The last sentence is for friends who also insist on creating:

Perseverance, rotten wood does not break; perseverance, gold and stone can be carved!

After sharing the income article, if I have the opportunity, I will share the helplessness and experience in the writing again.
