As an ordinary practitioner in the Internet industry, I feel more and more pressure. Since the booming Internet industry in mainland China, our lives have undergone earth-shaking changes. However, with the boom in the industry, we should also be aware that from July onwards, if nothing else, these major industries will become more and more difficult.
Here, I would like to talk to you about this topic with my personal experience, and I hope that you can prepare in advance for the challenges ahead.
First, I would like to talk about the education and training industry.
In recent years, with the rise of "online education", more and more parents choose to let their children participate in online training courses. But as time goes on, the industry becomes more competitive, and many training providers are fighting price wars in order to gain market share. In the long run, quality educational resources will be weakened, and it will become increasingly difficult for parents to choose. As a former educator, I know how hard it can be. At that time, I had to run around every day to recruit students and improve the quality of courses, but seeing the vicious competition in the industry, I finally chose to leave. I believe that the future education and training industry will become more and more difficult if there is no effective regulatory policy and a standardized market order.
Second, the e-commerce industry.
Since the rise of e-commerce, our lives have become more convenient, but at the same time, it has also brought many problems. One of the most notable is the proliferation of counterfeit and shoddy products. Although e-commerce platforms have been cracking down on counterfeits, the results have not been satisfactory. Many consumers often abandon e-commerce platforms because it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake when purchasing goods. As an e-commerce practitioner, I am deeply saddened by this. I have witnessed a high-quality e-commerce company whose business plummeted due to the problem of counterfeit goods. If this problem cannot be effectively solved, the development of the e-commerce industry will be seriously affected.
Third, the Internet finance industry.
In recent years, the rapid development of Internet finance has allowed us to enjoy convenient financial services. However, with the gradual exposure of industry risks, incidents such as the explosion of P2P platforms and the bursting of digital currency bubbles are not uncommon. These risks not only cost investors huge losses, but also plunged the entire industry into a crisis of confidence. As someone who has been exposed to the internet finance industry before, I know the pros and cons. At that time, I was working hard every day to manage the risk of the project, but it was still difficult to avoid the trough of the industry. I believe that only by strengthening supervision and improving the transparency of the industry can the Internet finance industry get out of the predicament.
Finally, I would like to talk about the self-media industry.
With the popularization of the Internet and the rapid rise of self-media, many people have thrown themselves into it to seek their own "voice" platform. However, with the intensification of market competition, the homogenization of self-media content is becoming increasingly serious, and the quality is uneven. In order to pursue clicks, many self-media even do not hesitate to touch the red line of morality and law. As a self-media practitioner, I am deeply concerned about this. I've struggled to survive because of content innovation and quality issues. I believe that only by returning to the essence of content can the self-media industry find a way out.
In short, in the face of the rapid development of the Internet industry, we must not only cherish the opportunities in front of us, but also remain vigilant and ready to meet the challenges. As the saying goes, "In times of change, no one can stay out of it." ”
