Regarding rebates, and taking orders, paid groups.

A few days ago, Master Pang's post about KOLs' monthly income sparked a discussion. Many KOLs advised me to engage in rebates and taking orders.

Based on my outer group of 5000 people (I have kicked out 2100 idiots), and an inner group of 150 people, the conservative estimate for income from rebates and taking orders is around 40,000 dollars per month.

I personally oppose engaging in taking orders and rebates:

1. I believe it is more important to establish my own trading system.

2. The high income from rebates is derived from the frequency of your trades, which makes trading subjective.

3. I purely think that my own skills are not sufficient for taking orders.

The most crucial point is: people always have overly high expectations of you.

I often see private messages like these:

Brother Suo, I have been following you for two years, quietly observing your posts, and you have helped me a lot. Can you add me to your inner group? I am a long-time fan.

Brother Suo, I can use your rebates; you can guide me in trading.

Brother Suo, with such a large group, don’t you have group management? You need to provide a clean environment for group members.

What I want to say is: many people do nothing, just frequently watching you and treating it as a big deal, start to kidnap you, and it’s even worse when they have unrealistic expectations of you.

Those who have someone managing the group every day, with beautiful people assigning tasks, and little robots completing tasks, I have no motivation, I won’t do it, and I don’t have the energy to do it.

I am spiritually fragile; trading is my side job, and I just want to calmly print money.

They care about my business; my priority is to trade and print money.

As for the paid group, I do have one.

Initially: charged 300 USD, recommended for those who found my Twitter useful and wanted to systematically engage in trading. I also wanted to recruit some people for trading, setting a low barrier. It was filled within a day.

Later:

Charged one ETH, many people inquired, but I mostly advised them against it.

This group is solely about my trading, my thoughts on trading, and discussions of methodologies.

If you want to refine your trading system in a pure trading environment and feel that spending 1 ETH is worth it, then come; I won’t brag about how great it is to anyone else.

At the beginning, this group was just waiting to be fed.

I spent a year, everyone discussed trading, synchronized trading information, and many group members printed quite a lot themselves.

This feeling is quite nice; I am often fed by group members as well.

No matter what friends, I charge 1 ETH; there’s no swapping back and forth between the same few people, ensuring purity.

Of course, I also brought in many insightful traders, and there are many who share knowledge based on my Twitter in the outer group, continuously improving.

My group, I am very subjective; as long as I’m happy, that’s enough.

As for those rebates and taking orders, my skills are insufficient and my spirit is fragile; I can't earn from that.
