The income from self-media is higher than the salary. Should I quit my job and focus exclusively on self-media?

With the development of the Internet and electronic communication equipment, the popularity of computers, mobile phones, cameras and other equipment is now increasing. Even in remote rural areas, many people use mobile phones and computers. Thanks to these changes, everyone can now easily post their texts, photos, and videos to the Internet for viewing and discussion by netizens across the country and even the world, so that everyone can become a reporter. Because of this, some people exclaimed that “everyone is a self-media” and “self-media is the next trend”.

From the current point of view, this wave of self-media has indeed made some people successful. With their keen vision and sophisticated production, they have provided a number of articles and articles that are very attractive to netizens. The video quickly gained a lot of popularity in a short period of time and also brought them considerable income. After many migrant workers saw this phenomenon, especially the success of many self-media related to agriculture, rural areas and farmers, they all had the idea of ??quitting their jobs and returning to their hometowns to focus on self-media. Regarding this matter, the author would like to advise migrant workers to think twice before taking action.

1. Are you sure you can keep doing it?

Before working in self-media, you must be fully mentally prepared and consider whether you have enough courage and confidence to face the difficulties and setbacks involved. Choosing to resign from your job and engage in self-media should be the result of careful consideration rather than Hot-headed decision.

2. What kind of content can you provide?

If you want to attract the attention of netizens and accumulate your own fans, you must have content that everyone is interested in. In the era of self-media where “content is king”, if you are not able to continuously and efficiently provide everyone with your favorite content, even if you gain a lot of fans and make considerable income at the beginning, you will end up being disappointed and disappointed by netizens later on. If you take it off, you will still lose more than you gain. For example, self-media people in the field of agriculture, rural areas and farmers can continue to update videos and articles about rural life, attracting the attention of netizens for a long time, and some self-media can even gather popularity through live broadcasts. Therefore, when planning to do self-media, you must think about your future direction and plan what content to provide.

3. Do you have the support of your team?

As the saying goes, a good man has three gangs. Except for a few outstanding talents, if we ordinary people engaged in self-media can have our own team to help us, we will get twice the result with half the effort. Judging from the successful self-media of rural areas and farmers, they are basically not doing it alone. They are more or less assisted by other people, either filming, planning, or post-editing, etc. Therefore, if you can get your friends to work on self-media together, it will be easier for you to succeed than if you work alone.

4. Does your current situation allow you to resign?

Since you are a farmer, your family is usually not very wealthy. If you don’t quit your job, you can engage in self-media at home. This will be beneficial to you. Will it have a big impact on your future life? Will your living standard plummet? Because we have to consider the worst-case scenario before doing anything. At present, most self-media are not very successful. Their income is very low or just enough to meet the needs of food and clothing. If your conditions cannot accept the consequences of failure in self-media, then you must make a decision carefully.

Writing this article was mainly because I saw that many farmer friends on the Internet expressed the idea of ????engaging in self-media, and some even wanted to quit their jobs and return to their hometowns to work in self-media. In order to give everyone a clear understanding of this decision, I will help analyze it here. If a friend really wants to engage in self-media, then I would also suggest that he should not quit his job and use his spare time to try it out. After trying for a while, he can decide whether to do self-media full-time. Regarding this matter, everyone is welcome to discuss it with me in the comments below.
