Speaking of this issue, I am a little emotional.
When it comes to making money from strangers, let's talk about what others taught me.
As early as a few years ago, because my cousin told me that websites such as "one yuan cloud purchase" are very profitable recently, I started to look for courses on building a website on the Internet, and then watched a video of a big guy, step by step. Start to learn how to build a website step by step, how to do website SEO, and start to understand the source of traffic and the problems of traffic realization.
After watching his video, I started to build my first website. After three months, I started to add him to WeChat and ask him some questions, all of which were based on experience, such as: "I Is the traffic trend of this site correct?”, “Is there something I can do well enough”, “Why is Shenma’s traffic higher than Baidu” and other questions.
The boss answered me very attentively. He said that it has been half a year since he released the video, and it was the first time someone showed him something decent. Maybe I left a good impression on him. He was more willing to tell me anything I asked him later, and my level began to gradually improve, and I stopped asking those questions about experience. Instead, I discuss (actually guide) the nature of making money on the Internet with him. After I finally got to know him for a long time, I went to his company this year. In reality, the boss was more easy-going and told me more things. After staying for three days, I felt that I really benefited a lot.
Finally I asked him a question, I said, Boss, why are you willing to teach me so much.
The big guy's words made me feel the gap. I can't remember the original words. It probably means
"I have reached the threshold of income, and if I want to go to a higher level, I can only use the "model" (the boss told me that the lowest level of making money is through physical strength, the second level of making money is through brain power, and the higher level is Make money through the model.) After making money, I also have a project I want to do. At this time, I need to start sharing my own information. When someone makes money with your help and generates trust value, then Bring it over to do the project you are doing now, it will be easier."
I summed it up. In fact, what he wanted to say was, "If I bring out a friend who earns tens of thousands in ten months, then my income will definitely be tens of thousands more per month." Maybe this is not his intention, but I can only understand here.
After talking about what strangers helped me, talk about what I helped strangers.
I wrote something on Zhihu on a whim before, and when I had time, I replied to the private message, and I also met a few friends.
Under my leadership, a person named Huizi has built a website. In more than a year, the daily IP has reached 3-4W. I don’t know how much the monthly income is, but there is a saying in the webmaster industry called daily. ip equals monthly income
The other is a public account, and works very hard. After I told him a few cases, the public account of his movie illustration has 20W fans. I don’t think I really helped too much. It’s because he has high savvy He is very diligent, and the number of breaks in two years is less than my fingers.
There are many, many people I don’t answer. I’m a little paranoid. I hate when people ask me if I’m here. I think the efficiency of private message communication is so low. If you ask me if I’m here, I say yes. Is it too low, if you have something to say, I will return if I am happy.
Therefore, in the private messages, I always reply to those questions in more detail, and the number of words is large. I have a habit, that is, when I communicate with someone for the first time, the number of words I reply will definitely not be too small. I usually ask me casually if I have any projects or how to make money, and I usually say, I don’t know either. .
When it is said that strangers teach you skills, I think whether others teach you or not, it is very likely that others have an initial impression of you. If you are like the uncle:
If you ask how to make money or ask for help, I don't think most people will answer you, right?
Maybe because I have a period of cautiously applying other people's projects or technologies, I would be more willing to communicate with smarter beginners. When I am helpless, someone mentions that it feels really good.
There are too many skills to make money, whether it is from the media, PS, Taobao, or making a PPT, you can make money online, and related knowledge is 100% free on Baidu, that is 100% someone will teach you, but the way you learn is different, maybe by communicating with the author, or watching his works (videos, books). Not limited to his hands-on teaching you!
So I think that teaching money-making skills is not about being taught to you by strangers, but about how you absorb other people's knowledge and make use of it.

This answer is written on the car, it is messy, and I will add a little more
Someone in the comments said
"When you go beyond a certain stage or class, when your core strengths are not involved, you will be more willing to help those who have a good attitude."
Indeed, it is good to be helpful when it does not involve your own core interests.
Three shifts:
Recently, Douyin always sees that Andy Lau helped him in an interview with Zhang Weijian by reporters.
Zhang Weijian asked Andy Lau why he was willing to help me, and Andy Lau said:
"Teach people what you learn, and give people what you earn"
I feel deeply
