Original title: 19-year-old college students personally experienced the gray production of content: it takes only 1 hour to create 10w+ explosive articles, and an article earns 1.8 yuan
Editor's note: The assembly line operation mode of the new media content industry has long been no secret, and behind the prosperity of the gray business economy is the support of a large number of cheap labor, including many part-time college students. The author of this article is one of those who have experienced it firsthand. The experience of working as a part-time writer in the media during school brought her a small but self-supporting reward, and at the same time exposed her to the other side of the explosive code. Today's push will take the perspective of this senior student and tell how she sees the experience and the industry.
I don't know how everyone was when they went to college, I was a particularly active classmate who "did part-time work", to what extent?
Handed out flyers, asked for the phone numbers of roadside people, worked hard in the sun at the auto show, went out in the early hours of the morning to queue up for "shoe sellers" and "liquor sellers"...
These part-time jobs are not easy at all.
Anyone who has worked part-time as a "flyer" or "need quantitative contact" knows that it really doesn't feel good to be rejected or "disliked."
(Commemoration of the May Day Auto Show to do part-time to the tube of the meal)
My part-time college path was also painful:
80 yuan / day of "telephone customer service", to put it bluntly, is telephone sales, about the 50th person sitting in a small room, crazy "language output", the other side of the phone vicious language, behind the supervisor roaring and scolding, there are 20 task targets in the mind. Can't stop, can't rest, can't have a negative attitude...
100 yuan / day of "leaflets", said that the good no responsibility into 30 telephone numbers, basically no one to give the real phone, but also by the security guards like chasing animals to evict away, after the completion of the can not immediately pay wages, to wait to verify the "validity" of the information. If you don't qualify, you will be deducted / directly no money...
40 yuan / day "primary school student homework tutor", work 4 hours a day, no need to prepare lessons, explain homework, a class of 15 children, there are always one or two students how to talk can not understand, homework tutoring can not finish work, every day is basically delayed until more than 10 o'clock in the evening to leave work...
This also responds to the saying on the Internet: "A salary of 3,000 yuan cannot recruit migrant workers, but can attract a bunch of college students."
Later, listening to the teacher, no matter what internship or part-time job you are doing now, you must find a job that can "improve yourself" or "help you in your future career development".
In the past, it was "it was good to earn some money to eat", but now it is "it is good to be able to improve yourself".
After determining which part-time job you want to find, you start to act, and the resources in the campus part-time group are basically the kind of jobs that "do chores, work, and self-esteem is trampled..."
Influenced by a variety of Internet ads, I chose a recruitment app.
Since I have always liked to "write", there are quite a few such positions that I have searched for, and I can do it at home, so that it is just right and will not delay the school curriculum.
Here's a look at my part-time job:
"Original Article Writer"
Xiaobai can do it!!!
For a "literate" person, this job is simply "just do it with your hands", don't believe it!
The requirements are simple:
More than 1200 words, guaranteed originality, self-drafting content, any subject matter can be, the content "can be seen on the line"...
The content of this article is not difficult, right? Then there's typography:
An article can be divided into 5/6 paragraphs, insert a picture in the middle of each paragraph, and find the picture yourself.
Word document layout, really simple. One article of 20 yuan was equal to the money for a day's meal when I was studying at that time, which was cool and crooked (and I could write two articles a day hahahaha), and I didn't have to ask my dad for food.
But come to think of it, what is the use of them wanting such a low-quality article, it seems that there is no value at all.
Here's the point!
There is a requirement that the title is the most important!!! It must be "title party"!
You don't need any training, just look at a few titles "Find a Feeling", and then imitate the "easier to fire" title to write.
Did you find something strange?
Open a platform like a browser, which article is it easiest for you to click on?
Do you like this:
Shocked! Hundreds of sows jumped collectively in the middle of the night, and after knowing the reason, they were stunned!!! Netizen: It's amazing. 》
And this:
"A certain line of female stars lost 3 days of loss of love and lost 20 pounds! After knowing the truth, netizens shed tears, really want to hug her..."
More this:
"Doctor's Message: These 3 Foods Must Not Be Touched!" If you don't want to get cancer, quit it as soon as possible! 》
Don't explain, after reading it, you will find that only boiled water is safe.
Where are these keyboard man netizens, I am afraid that the author of this old surfer said it...
People with a certain reading experience should be able to understand that text segmentation and pictures look less stressful, the title party can improve the open rate and click rate, and then take the "original text" to cast a wide net on various platforms, and minutes of those 10w+ articles that are known as "mass production"...
Due to the heavy workload of the final exams, I quit my part-time job.
That's not all, what's the faster money than words now?
Video.
Doing video content is the fastest to bring in traffic.
"Pseudo-original video work"
My second part-time job was also found on that recruitment app, and the job post was titled: Article Writer.
The conditions are also very attractive: zero basic, online part-time, minutes to get started.
Yes, it is really simple, Xiaobai can do it, and the requirements are less than the previous one:
150-200 words, 1.8 yuan / article, to ensure originality (regular spot checks).
I can write 20 articles a day, which is 36 yuan, satisfied!
This kind of online zero-based part-time job is really too suitable for "ignorant" college students like us, and there is also a "baoma" suitable for bringing a baby at home, which is much better than the "cheating part-time" who pulls people into the group, ensuring that you will not enter the pyramid scheme nest or lose money.
Now that you know the general requirements of the job, what does this company do?
The other party gives 10 videos a day, generally all of which are ready-made videos that have been fired on the Internet, extract the text or understand the approximate meaning, and then write it out in their own words (pseudo-original), the title remains unchanged directly with other people's, each written into a word to hand over, the file name is named with the title of the original video.
Then this is not more simple, all save the need to use your brain to choose materials to match the picture!
This part-time job also does not require training, and you can describe the content and form of the work to get started.
The most time-consuming thing here is: you need to watch the "understand" video text yourself, and the life class can directly get started after reading it, but those involving politics or popular science need to change the original words, and the politically sensitive words stipulate that they cannot be written in...
The person in charge said that there are many people doing this work, so if there is something on any day, I will say in advance, give the video directly to other people to do, and the person who docked with me is also responsible for adding voice, so I receive the manuscript before 5 o'clock every day, otherwise she said that she had no time to match the voice.
Where did our work go: the other party used the content of the article I "wrote", the robot with the voice, and then spliced together several "related" videos, and then the "original" video could be released.
Finally, these contents are sent to major traffic platforms...
I thought that such a mechanized process and sloppy work procedure could produce a "blockbuster" work, and now it is easy for video to generate traffic and gain revenue...
After more than two months of doing it, there was a little bit of a week, and the person in charge would come every morning and ask "20 today or 20?" Do you want to challenge a little more? Because I did not take the task for three or four days in a row, I was told to "terminate the cooperation."
I don't know when to start, even content creation can form an "assembly line" operation, "original" has become something that Xiaobai can complete, 10w+ depends on not the heart but the routine, with a template or wash manuscript can easily create a hit, and only need a few hours of "training", we can become such a "master".
I have also done my own public account before, and I need to chase hot spots, conceive, select materials, and shoot live scenes every day... Then promote and drain from other platforms, adhere to the original, it takes a lot of energy to do, but it is also difficult to fire.
When they have worked hard to make content and have no traffic, the assembly line agency of "monthly income of more than 100w, Nissan 'original text', minutes of 10w+" has already profited.
Plain vulgar plots, deliberately flattering vulgar content, short text that captures emotions for a short time, works with seductive but unnourishing titles, small videos that are forgotten by sight...
How many people are taking money out of these seemingly good-looking industries?
Although such a production of 10w+ work has a great demand for manpower, most people are not willing to stay in this kind of company for too long, either feel that "life is meaningless", or feel that such work is "ugly", but college students who do not know anything are willing to do it, not only do not think that their labor is cheap, but also do it happily.
……
These are all things that my senior female classmates have really experienced, although the process is a bit difficult, fortunately, "more knowledgeable" is not a bad thing.
Some time ago, I read the tweet posted in the "new list" public account - "Monthly income of millions, 3 days fast, write 1,000 explosive articles a day, the gray business of the content factory".
"Received 3 days of training, one day of writing, and most of the time using crawler software to collect content on the whole network, achieving a monthly income of more than one million."
As a female classmate who is still in her "senior year", I said that I have experienced a lot of such "gray economy", but I also understood the reason after reading that article.
Today I asked the teacher:
"There is a company in Shanghai that let me go to an internship for three months, with a daily salary of 100 yuan, no matter whether I eat or live, I have a chance to turn positive when I behave well, do I want to go?"
"Don't go!" Regardless of whether you eat or live, the salary is still in Shanghai, can you go to that little money? ”
"But internships at big companies are rare..."
"Such a cheap labor, you go to do this, it is better to use this time to see more companies and learn more!" What do you think! ”
It seems that as a "senior old school sister", I have not yet learned to weigh the pros and cons...
