Today’s Lao Gao’s view:
In the industry of self-media, it is actually quite hard. It is either losing hair, baldness, beer belly, or getting up in the middle of the night to catch up on the hot topics. There are only a few types of money: either they are awesome and sell advertisements like Mi Meng, or they are doing training like socket academy. At present, only these two paths are smoother. As for content e-commerce, if you don’t have a professional team, you should try it less. Those with stronger abilities may have a personal IP, and those who write articles over the year can be pieced together into a book at the end of the year and published them. Those with weak abilities may be either aligned or a grip.
