Why does Taobao art give people a very cheap feeling?

I have been working in the e-commerce industry for more than 7 years in Wuhan, and it is really painful. There are many wholesalers in Wuhan, and small bosses are learning to open online stores, so some of them are small companies. There are also big companies, but since I live in Hanyang, the jobs I find are all in small companies.

After staying for a long time, I am afraid of this so-called company, which is not really a company. Basically, the boss installs a few computers in his living room to do drawings at work. There is no need to think about the computer configuration. I think they are not very suitable for design. If you do a little more content, it will be easy to get stuck or the PS will automatically shut down. It’s useless even if you say it, and you won’t be given a computer suitable for design. There are basically no benefits. , it’s just a dead salary, and at most it includes lunch, which is basically nothing. The most shocking thing is that there is no lunch break, and they say they can arrange it by themselves. After basically eating, they say they want to start making something, and they don’t digest it at all; hehe. , I know it’s not easy for you to start a business, but you really can’t retain anyone like this

As an artist, let me talk about my feelings. A few years have passed, and the wages of artists are still the same, and they have basically not increased much. ; But there are a lot of requirements every year. An artist must have graphic design + Taobao design + customer service, etc. There are also many strange requirements. . . . Those who earn 4000-8000 will actually only be given a salary of 4k, and a salary of 4k is given. I hope you have the ability to tens of thousands. . Is this kind of pathology common now?

Large companies basically don’t value your experience. If you have experience or not, you will be given a salary starting from 4k, saying that the salary will be increased later depending on your ability; the salary is low and the benefits are ok. ;Working in an office building

Small companies look for experience and ability, and the salary is a little bit 5-6k. After all, you only need an artist to work, but there are no benefits, so the salary is dead; Working in the living room of the community

Many people actually understand this principle, but they still have to answer multiple-choice questions every time they look for a job. They want the benefits of a big company but also want the salary of a small company, so it becomes difficult to make a choice

They feel that art is lower than design, but it is also a position with great demand. I don’t want to talk about part-time art recently. One picture costs 5? 5 yuan for a picture? I don’t understand, there are still many artists competing to do it; I don’t understand when did art become so cheap? In the past, the lowest price I charged someone for a picture was 5 yuan, okay?

I think as artists, if we stabilize our prices and have some principles, we should not change the price just to make money. One drop after another; then will customers no longer think that artists are cheap labor?

Recently I was working part-time as a hand-painting artist, and I earned more than 1k in four days. I didn’t know until I was paid that tax would be deducted, which means that several of the pictures I made were given away for free. This feeling is not very satisfying; But unfortunately there is no customer source. The advantage of others is that there is a large number of customer needs, so I feel that the customer source is really important

People and relatives around me think it is good to be a Taobao artist. In fact, only the artist himself knows whether it is good or not. , I have wanted to change careers in the past few years, but I am reluctant to give up the skills I know. Once you change careers and don’t practice for a long time, all the knowledge you have will be forgotten, and it will be difficult to pick it up again

Now I have a new learning goal, which is hand-painting. I feel like I have found myself. I want to express what I want and what I think and feel through comic strips. This may be the state I want to reach. I will continue to work hard to achieve it.
