Preface
It’s been two weeks since I last updated my blog.
Twenty days, to be exact.
During this time, there have been almost no new visitors to my blog, as my phone hasn’t received any visitor notifications.
The notifications I’ve received are almost exclusively from search engine crawlers, Google Ads providers, and some inexplicable hackers trying to exploit my blog by scanning for vulnerabilities.
Why am I updating my blog again today?
Because I’m planning to try long-form YouTube videos again, primarily technical blogs that combine text, images, and video.
I’ll start by organizing hot news and technical documents on my blog, then optimizing them into video content to complement each other.
The following are my blog statistics for this month.
It seems like no one is reading my blog, except me.
Unexpected comments
The comment essentially expressed a desire to subscribe to my blog so I could stay up-to-date on updates.
However, due to the prevalence of bots these days, I haven’t logged into the blog backend to check messages in a while.
So, this comment has been shelved. I don’t plan to reply or comment at this point, as I don’t know when I’ll update the blog again.
Talk about making money
In an economic downturn, people no longer care about other, less important things.
People are solely focused on making money and minimizing costs, leaving them with no time to learn technical details. The more they immerse themselves in technology, the more likely they are to end up working for a living. It’s better to learn more about finance and find more ways to make money—a more practical approach.
Only when people have enough food and water and enough money can they avoid anxiety.
I used to share a lot of techniques and ways of thinking. While these are useful now, they’re not essential. We need a variety of ways to make money, and I’m constantly researching them myself.
In summary, if you’re a self-media creator, you must learn to choose the right platform. Choose whoever pays you and is most friendly to you. Choose a world-class platform that won’t play tricks on your small income or throttle you, with unlimited traffic.
Secondly, before being user- and visitor-friendly, you must first be platform-friendly. Describe the platform’s excellence and profitability, regardless of the platform. This way, you can achieve a smoother and more balanced experience. Only when a platform pushes traffic to you, because pushing traffic to you is actually advertising itself. This applies to both YouTube and TikTok.
I’m currently planning to follow official YouTube news and compile relevant YouTube-related monetization methods, as well as other YouTube-related content, such as AI-powered long and short video production, AI-powered YouTube video title optimization, AI-powered video script writing, AI-powered video content summarization and optimization, YouTube’s strategic direction, how YouTube collects payments, how YouTube applies for monetization, and the current mainstream trends on YouTube.
Having said all this, my point is that many people lack independent thinking and need timely and effective news updates to stay informed about market trends. Therefore, I plan to compile news on topics such as AI, open source software and hardware, official YouTube policy updates, and other monetization strategies.
automation
I’m turning darker.
I’m increasingly tired of dealing with people, the bad weather, the low-quality crowd. You want money, but they want your life.
Working is like that, and so is going to work. Here’s a terrifying thing: grueling work is actually chronic suicide. You’re hanging on for life, but your life is worse than an animal’s.
Some people in poorer environments can easily lose limbs or get leukemia or pneumonia due to chemicals. Others get varicose veins or heat stroke from standing in the sun for too long. In short, the capitalists don’t care about your life or death, and your salary is completely unprofitable, even demeaning.
So, compared to the drudgery of real life, I prefer to explore automated ways to make money online.
Although there are many scammers and malicious people online, they won’t easily harm you. As long as you’re mentally strong and in control of your emotions…
As long as you’re good at using technology and have a business mindset, and just need internet and electricity, you can earn unlimited income online (which is almost impossible in a real-world job).
The worst-case scenario is… Instead of paying for internet, electricity, and time, you gain a continuous income stream.
Take YouTube, for example. Countless people can earn a living from a single video or channel. Take Tk, for example. Countless people rely on livestreaming to earn a living, earning income in addition to their jobs.
Without the internet, many people would spend their entire lives at the bottom of society, never able to achieve wealth, forever hungry and cold, and subject to constant bullying.
The internet’s significance lies in its ability to transcend time and space, geography and race, gender and class, and even the laws of physics, enabling automation.
For example, traffic from blogs and YouTube videos continues to flow even while you sleep. For example, automated sales courses generate a constant stream of transactions even while you sleep.
Livestreaming and commission-based promotions, for example, allow you to earn income without having to build a factory or open a store.
Factories have workers, companies have employees, and you have automation software, robots, and AI.
I’ve already implemented interactive live streaming.
I’ve also been live streaming my printer and aquarium, and have been generating a steady income.
As I mentioned before, I’ve been earning around $2 a day from short YouTube videos.
I only have one long YouTube video left. It doesn’t have a lot of traffic, but if a video suddenly becomes popular, it can generate significant revenue.
The income from a single video can potentially exceed what I earn from a month’s work.
Tips
I haven’t decided on any long-form videos yet.
I’m currently planning to start with content related to technology and monetization through YouTube.
After all, technology is all about making money, and using it to make money on YouTube is even better. Updating YouTube content will be officially recommended, so at least there won’t be malicious blocking.
I’ll probably start by updating the draft blog posts, then create videos based on the blog content. This will allow the blog and YouTube to complement each other.
This way, some people will come to the blog because of the videos, and some will come to the videos because of the blog, satisfying the different content needs of different audiences.
I’ll generate a certain income based on traffic and advertising from both platforms.
