SEVEN-YEAR-OLD Ryan,a Chinese-American boy,spends his days in primary school and his evenings as an online celebrity.Ryan is a toy tester who unboxes new toys and shares his opinion with millions of his followers on his YouTube channel, "RyanToysReview." Last year,the cute,bubbly (活潑的) — and enterprising (有創(chuàng)業(yè)精神的)— kid made $11 million.
Ryan is just one of the many thousands of young people who have discovered that the internet and its various platforms can provide plenty of money-making opportunities.All that is needed is a good idea and an internet connection.
Young Chinese are also being drawn to the internet as a possible career,or as an easy way to make a lot of money.In 2017,a survey of 13,000 Chinese college students found that 54% wanted to become internet celebrities.No doubt they see it as a good alternative to spending their lives working in an office cubicle (小隔間),but becoming an online celebrity isn't as easy or as profitable as it may seem.According to the same survey,80% of aspiring (有抱負(fù)的)online celebrities can't make enough money to support themselves,and 15% make only a modest white-collar salary.That means you have to be one of the lucky or talented 5% to become rich and famous.
Zhang Kaiyi is one of the 5%.She started posting video clips (短視頻)in 2017 and quickly attracted 4.8 million followers on Weibo.Zhang says, "It is content that can create value,and it is also content that can possibly reshape business." Zhang's advice was to keep your content fun,life-oriented,creative and positive.
What you also need is good communication skills and a good education.Most of the online celebrities you see have at least a college degree.They are smart,creative people.They also have good communication skills which enable them to connect with their audiences.Such things as eye contact and a fluent,direct speaking style are essential.It also helps to have an interesting personality,but that is a gift,not something that can be learned.
Little Ryan was lucky enough to have acquired all those good qualities (personality and communication skills)naturally.But his online celebrity may fade(消退)as he becomes a teenager and is still playing with children's toys.Stay in school,Ryan,and get a good education ...just in case.
