Layoffs made me understand the importance of sideline business. In fact, I have always wanted to have a sideline with stable income and contribute to "wealth freedom". However, due to the heavy and complicated task of being promoted to management posts in the early 996 and late 996, it was not put into action. Until August of February1year, the state issued the "double drop" policy, and thousands of online education practitioners in Qian Qian suddenly received the first notice of layoffs in their lives, and I was one of them. Being in the window of work, I have no choice but to understand the importance of sideline, so I am determined to find a sideline that I like or am good at and put it into action.
After reading the videos of various blogs and sideline businesses in Xiaohongshu for a few days, I decided to try a part-time job as a PPT designer for three reasons:
First of all, I manage from the basic operational level. PPT is a common occurrence. Although my level is relatively basic, it is relatively easy to get started, and I also want to take this opportunity to improve my design level.
Second, I haven't seen a complete PPT part-time science popularization in Xiaohongshu. Most bloggers mentioned this part-time job in one sentence, saying that they could do it, but few people mentioned how to do it and how much money they could earn, so they planned to satisfy their curiosity.
Third, I plan to start from the media. If I can have a deeper understanding of this part-time job, it will also be a very useful subject to give popular science to friends who also need this part-time job.
Based on the above three points, and the urgent mood of making a living for a short time during the gap, I plunged into it and started to do it. And I have gained a lot from the whole journey, so I want to share this sideline with friends in need, and let us move towards wealth and freedom together. ?
Industry pricing standards, and how do I take orders?
The income level of PPT design part-time job is directly related to the PPT form delivered, so here I will simply expand the PPT form and present it to you. PPT is divided into static and dynamic parts. According to the degree of exquisiteness, there are standard, exquisite and high-end points. In this way, there are six forms, namely standard static, standard dynamic, exquisite static, exquisite dynamic, high-end static and high-end dynamic.
Generally speaking, the income increases in turn according to these six forms, but in the actual employment process, the price is often directly related to the comprehensive requirements of the demand side. For example, compared with individuals, if the demander is an enterprise or a party and government organization, the overall design requirements of PPT will be more stringent, which will test the designer's aesthetics, the richness of design experience, the understanding of customer needs, the proficiency in the use of PPT functions, and the unlocking range of various functions.
(Enterprise Demand Side Delivery Case)
To sum up, the unit price of PPT design can not distinguish the specific amount by table alone. According to the actual situation, junior designers who have passed the interview can issue standard forms (such as speeches and debriefing reports), each earning 60- 120 yuan; With the increase of orders and the unlocking of more skills, intermediate designers can deliver exquisite orders (such as courseware and business plan), and the income of each order ranges from 100 to 300 yuan; Senior designers can deliver high-level orders (such as enterprise cooperation, party and government education), and the income of each order ranges from 180 to 500 yuan. However, I must point out that the above figures are not absolute, but only approximate calculations.

In the first month, I received four orders (four orders per month are the bottom line requirements of the platform), including standard orders and exquisite orders, with a total income of 585 yuan, with an average of 46.25 yuan per order/kloc-0. Therefore, this sideline monthly income started in 500 yuan, which is still considerable for leisure partners (especially college students). In order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, the platform will release a monthly salary of TOP20, and the monthly salary of these people has basically reached 20,000 yuan. It can be seen that the most important thing to do sideline business is a cliche: overcome inertia and persist for a long time.
In addition, PPT design is just a general term for design, and the platform generally provides orders for copywriting, poster design, translation, logo design, etc. Therefore, friends with the above skills can also choose to deliver such orders.
This part-time job is not only to deliver results, but also to deliver services. The service process from greeting to conveying design requirements, exporting samples, confirming samples, exporting final drafts, confirming and modifying final drafts, and delivering reflects the professional attitude of designers, so it is most important to satisfy customers.
Every step of this process needs enough time, so it needs relatively enough time for this part-time person. Considering that PPT design is a necessary skill in the workplace, I think full-time mothers who are self-reliant and maintain their workplace status, as well as student parties who preview their workplace skills, can give it a try. Of course, migrant workers with spare capacity may also be slash youths with two incomes. Absolutely cool, very confident.
It is obvious to talk frankly about the advantages and disadvantages of this part-time job. The first is to earn food expenses. Talking about money is a bit vulgar, but making a living by yourself is not vulgar.
Secondly, through this part-time job, you can push yourself out of your comfort zone and unlock various practical PPT skills. Take myself as an example. Before taking a part-time job, proper PPT is limited to basic functions. After part-time, I will use PPT to change the background, design posters, add watermarks, set switching animations and so on.

Furthermore, as I said before, presenting good content in a good form is a plus item, so it is often better to learn to present content in an advanced form and reflect the level and attitude in practical work.
Finally, through this part-time job, you can learn some new knowledge in new fields, because PPT orders are classified and cover a wide range, including promotion, competition, business cooperation, management training, party and government red education and so on. Therefore, while doing PPT, you can learn the report ideas of big manufacturers, understand the current situation and bottlenecks of various industries, and get in touch with excellent enterprise management methods and experiences, so that the free knowledge base will come naturally. Of course, I would like to remind you that all the information of the demand side must be kept strictly confidential and cannot be leaked, which is related to professional ethics and respect for intellectual property rights.
As for the shortcomings, the third point is about the delivery process. Obviously, this job is no different from sitting in an office, so there is a problem that sedentary body can't eat it. From this point of view, the service time of each order may be relatively long, from three to five hours to one or two days, so the hourly wage is really not very high, so you have to weigh it yourself.
Secondly, after all, people have different aesthetics. Occasionally, they meet demanding customers, and sometimes they give up halfway. So we need to actively adjust our mentality, and don't deny and doubt ourselves easily because of one or two orders.
