However, when I came in, I found myself "stuck too deep" in this circle. Others can get hundreds or thousands of manuscript fees, and the manuscript you cast out is either rejected or sunk. So far, I haven't received a dime for the manuscript.
In fact, for novice authors, I suggest you don't aim too high. You can regard the contribution of WeChat official account as an upgrade of the BOSS in the game. From the beginning of conquering the trumpet, we can gradually go up to the medium size and then to the large size, and the contribution fee will gradually increase.
Today, I will teach you how to earn your first contribution fee by contributing to the trumpet (the following content is only for the newcomer Xiaobai who has not received the contribution fee, please make a detour).

I have seen several people on the official WeChat account complain that the articles I received are "poor", including diary essays and even love letters written to myself or others. My "poor" here is not that your article is not well written, but that your article does not meet the basic standards of new media and does not meet the platform's contribution type.
Therefore, if you want to contribute to the official WeChat account, you must first understand the types of new media articles.
There are many types of new media articles, including but not limited to parent-child articles, emotional articles, hot articles, story articles, people articles, and opinion articles (you can learn about each type by yourself through Baidu or reading the articles on WeChat official account, so I won't introduce them here).
You can try to write every type of manuscript in the early stage, but in this process, you should combine your own strengths and interests to determine one or two types that you can persist in writing for a long time, that is, to determine your own writing direction.
Here, I suggest you start with your point of view. Why?
First, the number of opinions is small, about 1500-2500 words;
Second, the opinion composition has a fixed writing template. The general structure of the opinion essay is: case 1+ golden sentence summary-case 2+ golden sentence summary-case 3+ golden sentence summary (summary full text). See People's Daily Night Reading Column for details.
For beginners, through learning, imitating and practicing in a short time, they can quickly write and improve their opinion articles.

After determining your own writing direction, you must find the official account of WeChat, which collects papers on related articles. Here are two ways to recommend it to you:
(1) Search for contribution information in Douban group, and search for keywords such as "contribution", "contribution", "contribution", "writing" and "editing" in the search bar. When you enter the relevant group, some contribution information will appear, and you can choose the information that suits you.
② Search and enter related words such as "Call for Papers", "Submission", "Paper Signing", "Writer" and "Editor" on WeChat, and find relevant official WeChat accounts for attention. In these official WeChat accounts, check their essay information and find the official WeChat account that suits you.
After finding the official WeChat account that suits your writing direction, there is a problem that needs attention, that is, to distinguish whether the information of the official WeChat account essay is true and valid. There are two main points:
First, has the official WeChat account updated articles in the last half month? If not, it is likely that this number has stopped operating, and it is recommended to give up the submission.
The second is to check whether the author's signature of an article on the official WeChat account is the same person. If so, then this number either has not received the appropriate manuscript, or it is cheating by soliciting contributions. I suggest you contribute carefully.
In addition, when reading the articles before the official WeChat account, we should also pay attention to the writing style, title selection and recently published topics of the official WeChat account. And judge whether the manuscript in your hand is consistent with its tonality.
However, in order to improve the manuscript rate, I suggest you study the basic tonality of the platform first, and then submit the manuscript.

It should be noted that after the manuscript is written, don't rush to contribute. Be sure to read it several times and change it several times. It's best not to have typos, to ensure that sentences are fluent and there is no language barrier. Don't display more than five lines in each paragraph on the mobile phone, and make the golden sentences as bold as possible.
When submitting a manuscript, you should also submit it in strict accordance with the requirements in the solicitation letter. Most solicitation letters will explain the word number and title requirements of the manuscript, as well as the email title and document title when delivering the manuscript, as well as the typesetting requirements of the text and the main information indicated.
Be sure to read the solicitation letter carefully before submitting the manuscript and submit it as required.

Say the important things three times!
Submitting a manuscript as required and carefully typesetting can't guarantee that the manuscript will pass, but it is the minimum respect for the editor and will leave a good impression on the editor.
I believe that every novice author will be eager to know the review result of the manuscript after submitting it. I once came across a manuscript a minute ago and asked if I had submitted it.
Be careful, don't make similar moves! It will disgust the editor.
First of all, the editor's mailbox sometimes receives hundreds of articles a day, all of which are reviewed in the order of delivery. It is impossible to get the result just after voting.
Secondly, the solicitation letter clearly indicates the audit time. Even if you ask, the editor can only reply you "the manuscript will be replied within X days" or "the deadline for reply has been indicated on the solicitation letter", which is meaningless and will leave a bad impression on the editor.
Be sure to wait patiently for a reply after submitting the manuscript, and don't rush to review it!
If you receive the notice of circulation during the reply period of the solicitation letter, congratulations, which shows that you have taken a big step on the road of new media writing.
But don't be proud. Writing has a long way to go. You must read more, write more and change more. At the same time, we must keep learning and making progress in order to go further.
If your manuscript is rejected or sunk in the sea, don't be discouraged, because any great god has grown into what he is after frequent rejection.
It is important to find out your own shortcomings after rejection, and then do targeted exercises to improve yourself.
Finally, I hope everyone can go further and further on the road of writing and contribute more, which is expensive!
