When Twitter just started, it was also confusing about how to monetize.

Charging for groups, commission returns, deep project cooperation binding, consultants, one-time promotions, monthly packages, etc.

Charging is exhausting and not suitable, commission returns are risky, most projects want to take advantage of consultants, one-time promotions can easily encounter a wave of backlash.

Many efforts can be counterproductive.

In the past, projects that were heavily promoted often made others feel like the project was mine.

But in reality, it was all money that I spent myself, and I truly believed in it without any vested interest before I dared to invite my brothers to join for long-term promotion.

However, if one is not careful, it can also hurt oneself and others.

The ones that can really make money are those who collaborate with powerful players in conspiracy schemes.

Initially, followers can make money, and I can make money and gain a reputation. Of course, later on, there will definitely be people who suffer big losses.

The essence of the industry is a zero-sum game; entering early with strong players means making money.

Entering late means losing money; there’s no situation where everyone makes a profit.

If you want to make money in this circle, it’s about improving your own understanding.

Don’t attribute all profits to your cognitive strength, and don’t blame your losses on trusted friends and bloggers.

If someone can deceive you out of your money with sweet talk and grand promises, then their skills are superior.

Instead of blaming the world, it’s better to enhance your understanding, do more practical operations, and refine your strategies.

Avoid pitfalls and reduce loss rates.

Over time, profits will naturally come.

In simpler terms, those who can make money are smart, and those who consistently lose are foolish.

The words may be rough, but the reasoning is sound.
