How can we as a self-media person receive and complete more orders?

In general, I think, first of all, you must dare to take orders, dare to realize cash, and have a heart that dares to make money. Secondly, you should develop more business models, open up more financial avenues, and all roads lead to money. In addition, you should make good use of some tools and platforms. Finally, you must persist and fight hard. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to have your own core skills, resources and routines when playing self-media , otherwise you can't realize cash.

Recently I have been trying out various monetization methods, which have caused a lot of controversy. I don’t know if it’s because the more I’m criticized, the more popular I become, but it seems that I’m receiving more and more orders, and I also have many ways to monetize.

Warm reminder: when running a self-media, you cannot just rely on writing to make money unless you are an expert.

Just yesterday, within one day, someone paid to join the group, someone paid to ask me to promote his article, someone paid to place an advertisement, someone paid to buy mass mailing software, and someone paid to ask me to write a soft article, and there was more than one person. Actually, what I sell are my own resources. I don’t know what resources I have. I just sell whatever I have and whatever I can sell, except my idle girlfriend (who needs to be inflated).

Sometimes there are some considerations on how to sell.

Yesterday a boss asked me out for dinner. At first he found me on WeChat and asked me to help him write a soft article. At first I felt that I was not very familiar with the field he was working in and it would be difficult to start, so I started to trick him and said, why don’t you treat me to a meal, so that we can have a story to write after we meet and talk. In fact, I was not sure at first and just wanted to get a free meal. What a life. . .

He sells cars, and his way of selling is interesting, which is renting instead of buying. What does it mean? Simply put, it is installment payment. You can buy the car while you are renting it. Many mobile phone sellers are also using this routine. The brand he created is called Oak Car. You only need a 10% down payment to own a new car, and then you can make money by connecting to Didi and Uber . When the car is fully leased, you will own the property rights of the car. You can pick up the car with a driver's license and normal income. If you don't believe it, you can ask him (WeChat ID: zhuoyan1980).

When we met for dinner, we didn't talk much about cars. I went there wearing just slippers. He said it gave him a great contrast and he found me very interesting. He had imagined me to be an intellectual, but I turned out to be a gangster who would be stopped by the police to check his ID card when walking on the street.

So we spent most of our time talking about how to be an interesting person, how to create various surprises, and various ways to build a personal brand. After he came back, he sent me a private message on WeChat saying, "Nice to meet you, I gained a lot." He then transferred 1,000 yuan to me and said, "Let's be friends, you can write the article anytime." Well, this is the least urgent order I have ever encountered.

What I actually want to say by saying this is that sometimes offline face-to-face conversations are still necessary for closing a deal. When we were chatting, I learned that he started out in traditional offline sales and should be more accustomed to this method. In fact, when we first started chatting on WeChat, he was not willing to offer this price. It might be because we didn't trust each other enough, or maybe my professionalism was not worth the price. After all, the soft articles I write are generally lousy and diary-like, but what makes me valuable is my personality, right?

However, there are so many people doing self-media, but not everyone has brand endorsement or personal charm. Not every deal requires a face-to-face meeting. Most of the time, customers must be acquired and transactions must be conducted online. So how can media owners and advertisers build more trust and a sense of security?

At this time, it is usually right to hand it over to a third-party platform, for example, Aixinxun:

Anyway, I have registered. On a platform like this, those who run their own media can become media owners, and advertisers can accurately choose their own media to place advertisements based on the conditions. The platform is responsible for guaranteeing the transaction.

The current market situation is that advertisers basically pay money directly to media owners in advance. Generally, media owners are more powerful, which is actually not very fair. Although I do this too, I usually collect the payment first and then start working. However, the world is so big that it is inevitable that there will be media owners who commit fraud, fail to post advertisements on time or even not post them at all. So through transactions on a third-party platform, advertisers can pay the money to the platform first, and the platform will only release the money after the media owner has posted the advertisement as required. This ensures the transaction security for both parties.

For media owners, this is also a reliable way to receive more orders.

As a media owner, I also want to say something for myself. Sometimes it’s not that the advertisement is not published on time, but because of unexpected circumstances.

Yesterday an advertiser approached me to submit a soft copy. We had agreed to publish it that evening, but the WiFi played a joke on me and my home internet was disconnected. Every time I asked the network administrator, he said that the optical fiber was cut and it could not be repaired until the next day. I had no choice but to publish it the next day. However, the advertiser said that it was not necessary as the class had started today and that we could work together again next time if there was a chance, because his traffic generation was timely and for the purpose of starting the class.

The cooked duck has flown away, which of course I will not allow to happen, so I started to trick him. At first, I pretended not to see the message. The next day, which is today, I rushed back to the company early in the morning and sent a tweet on the computer. The company opens at 9 o'clock (I just found out about this today), and I arrived at 8 o'clock. It was definitely the most proactive, active and earliest time for me to arrive. After sending the message, I replied to him and said that I just saw the message now (with an embarrassed expression), and I sent it as soon as I got back to the company. The Internet was down at home last night and my phone was stuck. He responded with a crying expression and didn't say anything else. After all, he was an old customer and was easier to bully.

Some people may ask, can’t I send it using my mobile phone or in an Internet cafe? This is a secret that cannot be told. You will never know how I survived without the internet.

Anyway, I really want to move recently. Does anyone have any recommendations?
