Writing exercise

I have been trying to become an emotional creator in Xiaohongshu in past 2 weeks, because I wanted to have other income resources without salary and want to make a preparation for some situations which is I lose my job in the future probably.
But it was not an easy path from my experiences, because my first blog just had a little view almost 150, even less than my any past tourists review in Xiaohongshu. I think it made me felt very frustrated.
And if you want to show your reviews to more people, include you want to get more traffic to transform the viewers to your fans, which means you not only need to publish your articles through commercial tools, but you need to write your reviews every day in the beginning 3 months. Only you do that, the algorithm will recognize your identity and position in the creator’s hierarchy of Xiaohongshu. So, you know, I need to set a fix time to write the reviews but it’s hard to my situation currently.
So, if I wanted to be a blogger, I need not only creativities and spare time, but I need to learn how to use the short video and photo editing tools. Fortunately, I can find a lot of software from website, and these can be free download to my computer. And among them, I think Jianyin and Meituxiuxiu are best tools because they can be very easy to use.
Even so, I still made a mistake when I write my second review, I used some wrong pictures replaced my original photo and could not withdraw. At that moment, I really felt breakdown and I knew I needed to restart ASAP, because I believed everything is difficult when it is in the beginning.
Not only just that, I think the truly difficulty is you need to create a lot of various and systemic topics because you couldn’t say a same topic every day and you need to keep an attraction to your reader.

Although it is, I still want to persist in this path, because I believe the job always have risk without control, and if I always rely on salary to design my life which means I have an indeterminate risk forever, so I don’t want to consistently to live on this risk.
