3 tips to increase followers on Zhihu for free!

Many people understand that I often change my identity on Zhihu. Secondly, I have many secondary accounts and their fans often exceed those of the main account. Of course, those who are more familiar with me know that I have never intended to commercialize Zhihu, so there are no profitable projects, and all the small accounts are... why?

Do you understand what I mean when you use Zhihu? It’s okay if you don’t understand... I just like to see people’s reactions, so I’m just doing it for personal interest. "If you want to know what a pear tastes like, you have to taste it." If I can't eat the big pear, then I'll try the small pear.

In fact, I just said many of the jokes, and then some students typed them down for me - you can ask students to help you type, especially some junior high school students and technical secondary school students. The price is cheap and the speed is fast, ten yuan for one article. This can greatly improve efficiency and the experience of using Zhihu. You can use several accounts at the same time without wasting too much time. In the process of dealing with the little ghosts, you can learn a lot of information about the new generation that you don’t know, which is very interesting.

Okay, now I will tell you how to quickly increase followers on Zhihu without spending any money.

Due to some issues with knowledge reserves and different knowledge structures, what I am talking about are the principles, and basically it is a skill-free operation method - that is, you do not need to master any knowledge, just literacy is enough. In other words, as long as you can type, it will be fine. There is no need to lie to others about the content, and there is no need to pretend to be a beauty.

There are actually two schools of thought on Zhihu for gaining followers. It’s similar in other places, but it’s particularly obvious on Zhihu.

Below are two of the most skill-free methods to increase followers - this method is very beneficial to Zhihu because it relies on content rather than relying on photos to increase followers like the Iranian little princess.

In other words, it can intensify the confrontation and make outsiders feel that it is reasonable and well-founded, which is beneficial to Zhihu's consistent style of high IQ. Of course, high IQ does not mean that mass industrial production is not possible, so I will talk about the simplest and most practical way to gain fans.

Since we cannot rely on professional background knowledge, here are two methods that even semi-literate people can use.

1: Moralists.

2: IQ faction.

In fact, the meaning of these two things seems very simple, but in fact, these two things have nothing to do with morality and IQ in our daily sense.

The moral school emphasizes providing a moral slope from high to low, and providing a path that allows readers to climb to the moral high ground more conveniently and naturally.

The IQ group doesn't need any IQ, as long as its logic is consistent with the mainstream group of moral people and its tone is affirmative.

To put it simply, the moralists are like the clique-loving aunties, and the IQists are like Himmler.

We will analyze the mystery later. Let’s talk about it first.

For example, let’s take those who curse the little pinks, because the little pinks usually take the IQ school, and fewer take the moral school. According to my evaluation, the little pinks are generally relatively high in thinking ability and IQ (should be slightly higher than the average), but their information channels and processing capabilities are slightly weaker, so they generally do not take the moral school.

The moral route is becoming more and more the mainstream method on Zhihu because it is simple, has higher returns and is relatively stable.

1. Taking the “moralist” route

Of course, if you choose the moral route, you will need to send content more frequently.

example:

Note that I am not saying that he/she is using tricks here, I am just explaining why it is effective.

Because this example is very good and meets almost all the required elements. If you were to use a routine, it might not be so smooth.

Let me first explain why this is so good, a person with only 56 followers has such a high number of likes, and then explain why the number of likes is so high but the number of followers is not large.

For example, some of my answers have 1,000 likes, but the number of people following this answer can actually reach a level close to the number of likes.

In fact, my main focus has always been on a few answers, but because there is no need for commercialization, I am too lazy to do it; so I will not add extended reading links after some articles, because for this account, the number of fans is not important, in fact, it is not important for other small accounts, it is enough for experiments (but often the follow-up will continue to grow and produce a much stronger acceleration than this account).

We will talk about the difference between likes and follows later. Let’s solve the problem of likes first - if you want to appear on the timeline frequently, then you must have multiple answers with more likes, and the probability of appearing on the timeline in the future will be very high.

So you see, after I have multiple answers with more than 500 likes, even if this account posts a lot of jokes, it can dominate the Zhihu page for a lot of people.

In other words, an answer with 5k likes is far less effective than 10 answers with 500 likes.

Therefore, the first step for the moralists to increase their followers is to get the first batch of 500 likes, or the first 10 500 likes.

If moralists want to gain praise, first of all you need a goal that is recognized by the public, because your ultimate goal is to make others feel that your moral level is superior to others, and superior to a large group of people.

There are three principles:

1: Platform visibility principle - the group with low moral standards you are talking about must be recognizable to everyone.

2: The principle of decreasing attention or morality of examples - just like the screenshot of the answer just now, everyone knows the first Olympics, but many people are not clear about the war itself. Of course, it does not have to be so harsh. In general, it is enough for the second example to appear "more extreme", that is, not as "reasonable" as the first one.

3: Identity Conclusion Principle – If you need to reach a conclusion about a group, you must use lower level examples or descriptions.

In fact, these three principles are very simple and everyone can do them. If you don’t want to have many likes but few followers, you just need to add a few more sentences in the third content. But don’t speak too lowly of others, otherwise it will easily lead to the situation where it cannot be lowered any further and people will find the slope too flat and boring.

However, it is simple, but if you don’t understand the possible reasons, you will have no idea when you are thinking about this kind of thing, and without a clear goal process, you will not be able to inspire inspiration.

The reason is very simple. We can all understand the first and third points, but the key is the second one.

Why is there a gradual decline principle?

The reason is simple: we can understand the truth better if we magnify the details.

If you want to criticize someone and make him feel powerful, what should you do?

You first say he urinated and defecated in public, then you say he lived in a slovenly way, and finally you say he saved 2 million people?

Of course not, there is nothing to say about this.

Of course, you should first criticize him for saving 2 million people but it is meaningless, then say that he lives a sloppy life, and finally say that he urinates and defecates anywhere.

Because this person always uses his own highest moral level to compare with the other person's lowest moral level. In other words, if one's highest moral level exceeds the other person's lowest moral level, then one's own moral level is higher than that of others.

Therefore, this feeling must be created. This is equivalent to giving people a mountain climbing cable car that can directly soar from the moral valley to the moral high ground, which is both exciting and convenient. Of course, we can also understand that the more things a group does, the easier it is to find these examples. In short, the moral high ground is now very high, so naturally people like to climb it, and anything they do can get a lot of likes.

You may have discovered that animal protection, rural feminism, and many other things are all the same. They expel people from their own group from the "left/right/feminism/animal protection/classification", and this is their purpose. On the other hand, although a large number of moralists may cause chaos, it is very easy to rule and use them. I guess everyone has realized this.

I don't like to use the word "exploit" because it's unlucky. I feel it's more precise to use "exploit". "Exploit" is dangerous because it means there will be danger if it is discovered. The other party is a human being, so using this word makes people feel more at ease. It’s like I’m not like Lao Bu Meng, who shouts “destroy” every day and is very disrespectful to others. I prefer to say “decompose” or “recycle”.

You must respect the value of others so that you can find the rules of their operation - even a roll of toilet paper has its own rules of use. If you ignore the rules of toilet paper, you will sooner or later wipe shit on your hands.

If you think about taking advantage of others every day, you will suffer retribution sooner or later, but if you use them, you may become a model worker. If you can do the above, even if it is crude, you will get a lot of likes.

2. Followers and Likes

But how do fans come? Why can’t fans and likes completely correspond?

In fact, it is very simple. Being a fan means acknowledging your value for subsequent use, while liking is just a statement. In the moral school, the act of liking is the same as liking in a Weibo prayer event. In other words, he clicks the like button to satisfy his own desire for moral high ground, but he also understands that after "ascending", you will be of no use to him at all.

There are many complicated methods, but I will tell you the simplest one here.

Just leave some blank lines after the answer, and then add a sentence - there are a lot of things like this, they are all very stupid, next time I will find a few more for you under xx type of questions, and I can’t kill those idiots.

Although the moral faction does not rely on some of the things of the IQ faction, the last sentence shows that you have subsequent value, and the word "idiot" highlights the high IQ of the person who liked the post (although this is only peripheral).

The desire to seek intellectual suppression will be converted into attention, and the feeling of seeking moral suppression will be converted into likes.

In fact, this behavior is not only effective when you are scolding, but also when you are praising.

For example, when we talk about someone, we first talk about what contributions they made, what efforts they put in, and then what personal price they paid in the end. The estimation of personal value is very peculiar. People will think that their own value is very high, or at least not much lower than that of others. If the price makes people feel that it is equal to that of the average person (a relatively vague price), then people will feel that it is easy and that they can handle it. At the same time, because it has a mass base, it will not produce a clear "feeling of being superior to others."

But when you click the like button, you may also feel “Huh, is that all?”

So in fact, the truth and principles are the same, they are just used in different places.

Basically, it's about making others believe that you're really crazy, rather than being crazy for some benefit. This way, everyone feels that they can stand on the moral high ground and crush you in terms of IQ, but you also have value to be used (the word "use" cannot be used at this time), so they get likes and attention.

3. Let’s talk about the “IQ school”

The IQ group actually has no IQ at all. Of course, it’s okay to have a little IQ, but here we are talking about the IQ with the lowest IQ.

There are two types of IQ schools:

1: The muddy school.

2: duangduang school (sorry I can’t find a word to sum it up, so the closest feeling is duang)

Generally speaking, the difficulty of the IQ school is a little higher than that of the moral school. How much higher? Probably higher than the level of a third grader in elementary school, and there is no upper limit.

So according to this point of view, the IQ group and the moral group on Zhihu are basically evenly divided, and the IQ group is even larger (not in terms of number of people, but number of followers), which shows that the average IQ of Zhihu is still relatively high (people who are familiar with me know that my articles are serious and not disrespectful. Just think about the facts of the Internet environment and you will know).

I don't want to give examples from the IQP because it is easy to insinuate others if I write my own, and it is even more dangerous to post other people's posts, because many people from the IQP have already started commercial operations or are preparing to start commercial operations (because they gain followers quickly and are replicable), so it is better not to provoke them.

Moralists are generally not dangerous, and because people at the moral peak do not want their own high ground to be threatened, and their foundations are not solid, they will generally just say a few words and then run away.

Don’t mess with the IQ group.

The wishful thinking group is very simple. We have seen a lot of them. They are all kinds of rationalists. But being a rationalist is not just about putting a few ideas together, it is also very simple to put into practice.

I will tell you the two most convenient methods;

1: Find similar questions, and find the ones with neither the highest nor the lowest number of likes among similar questions. If there are a lot of answers, there will be many answers with thousands of likes. Don't choose those, and choose those with around 500 likes.

Choose the most obvious point of view and at least 3 similar points of view; then choose 1 point of view in this category that is the opposite of the above.

When mixing together, to connect three similar viewpoints and one opposing viewpoint, don’t use “but” or “however” but use “and”, “and” or “at the same time”.

In this way, the degree of conflict between the opposing view and the previous view can be reduced. If someone objects to your first three viewpoints and says that you are not objective, they will use the following opposing viewpoint (which you deliberately downplayed) to refute you, without you even having to do anything.

2: Perform the reverse operation as above.

They are basically the same, but the final "negative view" should be longer than the previous three positive views, the tone should be affirmative, and it should be divided into paragraphs.

Furthermore, use "but" and "however" more often as transition words in the middle, at least three times.

Then add a conclusion of "the opposite view". You have to write this conclusion yourself. If you can't write it, find three similar questions, and then put together the answers with about 500 likes. Make sure it is useful, but don't make it too long so as not to make you seem unsteady.

The program "Logical Thinking" particularly likes to use this method.

The duangduang faction is more dangerous, so I can only tell you the principles, and you can find out the details yourself.

The main characteristics of the duangduang school are that they have a certain amount of reading (which is not actually necessary), and sometimes quote celebrity classics. Of course, these classics are a little unpopular, but not so unpopular that others don’t know them, nor are they something that even elementary school students can recite. In other words, they have a certain picture library in a specific field (of course, people who are good at using search engines don’t necessarily have to have a picture library).

This faction mainly focuses on attacking people inside, that is, poaching resources from the existing resources and groups generated by the "weakness faction".

The duangduang faction combines the advantages of morality and "resources that most people are too lazy to find."

It’s difficult to explain, but if you think about it, you can probably understand why it works.

As for that guy, it’s just because the direction he chose is too niche…

Because within the IQ faction, since there is actually no IQ at all, in order to form an internal "IQ advantage", one must rely on "accidentally proving that one is a moral lunatic." This kind of behavior of hitting others a little bit and showing oneself kowtowing (but not kowtowing so hard that one explodes) together makes a sound called duangduang (onomatopoeia).

These people can easily become the "big guys" in a faction, and even regional blackmail is common. Not to mention other aspects, there are too many.

The duangduang faction often needs some texts. The process of creating these texts is the same as that of the wishy-wash faction, except that they use more transition words and repeat the summary of their own opinions more than three times, but they will still use a wishy-wash part (if they are brave enough, they will put a wishy-wash after it to prove their own wisdom and bravery).

These three methods are very useful. Primary school students can operate them after they are familiar with them. They can be produced on an assembly line, and some new things and new content can be added during the production process. It suddenly became taller and more impressive!

You need to understand:

As long as you have 10 answers with 500 likes (under a large category topic), the probability of being refreshed on the timeline will basically increase, especially for those who have just come to Zhihu and don’t have many followers, the effect is particularly good.

If you have the leisure time, you can ask a few rural junior high school dropouts to do it. They will soon become familiar with the routine and can directly industrially produce standard version of big V, and there will definitely be no excessive repetition, ensuring continuous renovation.

The reason for the renovation is that these people (regardless of their level) have certain deviations in their understanding of the main points of other people's answers, and after they integrate them again, others will have deviations in their understanding when they see them - and people choose the lowest among others morally, and mark themselves as the highest in terms of IQ, so the judgments of different people are slightly different.

The result is that the content will actually continue to evolve and update (even if it is copied from each other, it will evolve very quickly), so that it can spontaneously keep up with market needs.

Everyone should also understand one thing: Zhihu is essentially the same as other communities. The content people read should speak well of their own morals and IQ. This is different from research problems. The ultimate goal of research is to predict facts that are closer to overall development, but chatting is not like this.

There are very few people who can combine research with chatting. Those who can do it perfectly are great people, or at least activists.

If one can use the above three at will, his or her judgment of the masses has basically reached the level of a small controller - only at this point can one be qualified to call the group "the masses", and the masses is not something that everyone is qualified to call.

These are all simple methods, you can give them a try.
