Topics
Rachel Martin: 本期节目探讨了网红经济的兴起,以及成为网红对年轻一代的吸引力,以及如何通过网红行业赚钱。 Waylon Wong: 网红是指通过线上内容赚钱或渴望赚钱的人,平台可以是TikTok、Twitch、Instagram等。现代网红产业起源于2008-2009年经济衰退时期,当时博客兴起,人们利用免费的社交媒体和智能手机相机进行创作,并尝试将其货币化。许多人渴望成为网红,即使还没获得品牌合作,也在努力建立受众。网红行业已经发展成为一个完整的产业,拥有经纪公司、培训课程、会议和社交活动等。 Beth Monsell: 通过博客“Budget Bites”将对节俭饮食的分享变现,说明早期网红变现模式。网红需要持续努力并进行团队建设才能生存和发展。 Onyx Clark: 成为网红需要冒险,但放弃机会更糟糕。 Leah Haberman: 成为网红就像创业,需要像经营企业一样对待,考虑产品和客户。 Kendall Hoyt: Kendall Hoyt 是一个拥有 50 万粉丝的时尚网红,她的案例可以说明网红的收入和支出情况,年收入约为 15000 美元,说明网红收入并非总是很高。 Ryan Hilliard: 只有少数网红能获得高收入,百万粉丝是关键门槛,竞争非常激烈。 Jalen Baden: 网红工作量很大,需要处理内容、品牌关系、合同和财务等,工作中,60% 是有趣的部分,40% 是枯燥的文书工作和税务。 Lydia Keating: 网红工作与生活界限模糊,工作内容会影响个人生活选择,网红工作很孤独,即使拥有众多粉丝,也可能缺乏归属感。 Charlotte Stavrou: 网红行业的竞争激烈,成功难以持久,新人不断涌现。 Ronald Michelle: 网红行业存在种族歧视,有色人种网红收入普遍低于白人网红,有色人种网红需要付出更多努力才能获得与白人网红同等的待遇。
