Projects that use information asymmetry to make money in 2021: group fission + freight to be paid

Information asymmetry will always exist, and people who are greedy for bargains will always exist. Today I will tell you about a relatively old-fashioned project. Although it is relatively old-fashioned, some people are still making a lot of money from it. And because it is an old project, I believe everyone can easily understand it after reading it.

Let’s first look at the picture below. These are two links that my friend posted on WeChat Moments. At the time, I thought she was getting married because at first glance it was a wedding invitation.

Then after I clicked in, I found out that this was a fission routine shared to groups and friends circles.

At this point most people would choose to click away, but I thought I hadn’t seen it for a while, so I wanted to see if their tactics had changed.

As shown in the picture, after I clicked "Don't share", I found that some novels that are more borderline novels began to pop up. It seems that if you want to continue reading, you need to follow his public account below.

After following the official account, I paid to read the content. This was obviously a novel official account. Afterwards, I didn’t click out directly, but kept clicking on the page. I found that as long as you don’t click the X on the side, the official account will continue to be pushed to you.

In fact, everyone can think of this. This is basically a way to attract attention without getting any money, but there will still be people who will spread this thing. This is a mentality that basically everyone has, which is to take advantage of others. This reminds me of an older way of playing. It is to earn freight by utilizing group fission + freight payable on delivery.

Today I will tell you about the general process:

1. First, a customer service QR code is sent from some communities, saying that you can get something for free.

2. After someone adds customer service, he is told that he needs to send the picture to his circle of friends or three groups, and how long he needs to keep it before he can receive it.

3. After you send the order, the customer service will tell you that you have met the requirements and it can be delivered for free, but you need to pay the express fee yourself. However, this fee will be relatively expensive, usually around 20 to 30 yuan. It doesn’t matter if you find it strange, there are ways to deal with it.

4. When you think the value of this item is much higher than the shipping fee, you will basically place an order, provide an address, and wait for the goods to arrive.

5. Pay on delivery.

Maybe everyone still doesn’t know why? Take YSL lipstick for example. As we think, even if the shipping cost is so high, the price itself is not cheap, so many people will place an order even if the shipping cost is high, thinking they have got a bargain.

There are too many wholesale platforms on the Internet now. Let’s go to the most common one, 1688. If we go in and look for YSL, we can see that the cost is only 5 yuan. If you go to other platforms to look for it, there may even be various certificates and so on. Then just calculate it based on our 25 yuan express fee.

Cost: 5 yuan for lipstick + 5 yuan for express delivery + 4 yuan for labor = 14 yuan.

I have also added the labor cost above. You can also ask someone to help you. And if it is the express delivery fee, as long as your quantity is large, you can continue to negotiate with the people at the express station. In this way, your profit is 25-14=11 yuan.

Because your thing is a physical object and has its own fission effect, it actually spreads very quickly. You just need to find a few people to help you pack things and do group fission every day, and let them see if it is being shared.

Don’t say that no one will do this, because the simplest way is that even my friends who don’t have anything can do fission, not to mention that this is really giving away things for free?

Is this a high-end project? Not high-end actually. Is it fresh? In fact, this routine has been around for a long time, but there are still people doing it. As long as there are people doing it, it means there is still profit to be made. So sometimes when you find a project, don’t just give up after learning about it. At least you have to work hard at it first. If you can’t work hard enough, then consider whether to change your path.
