“How will ordinary people use DeepSeek Ai in 2025?”
“One-person company, DeepSeek+ Self-Media Leverage”
“DeepSeek, how can the beauty industry be used to monetize it?”
No one can deny that DeepSeek is becoming more and more popular, and has even gradually spread from B-side applications to C-side users. It seems that ordinary people only need to raise their eyes every day to easily discover DeepSeek through their surrounding contacts and online understanding.
When AI begins to reshape people’s daily lives, what most people think may be that they can make work and life more efficient and faster by using these AI-labeled tools. However, other people feel that they should keep up with this era express train and take the lead in making arrangements to quickly connect with a better “money scene”.
Therefore, aiming at the urgent needs revealed by this group of people behind, many characters on the skills training track came to the news. Live broadcast rooms, Internet communities, offline training classes… these group of “shovels” people continue to recruit people from various channels, borrowing the words “If you miss this opportunity, there will be not much time left for migrant workers” and “Don’t wait for AI to actively eliminate you”, all want to sell classes to ordinary people who are feeling anxious.
From learning materials worth a few cents, to online teaching worth a few hundred yuan, to offline practical operations worth a few thousand yuan, it seems that it has become a big gold mining paradigm for every new field and every new technology after its popularity.
Previously, Zinc Scale had conducted several surveys on skills teaching and training, including personal IP alchemy, writers who made over 10,000 monthly income in 60 days, easy access to high-paying baking training, and hand-made courses that can take orders in 20 days… Compared with this DeepSeek training craze, everyone is actually no different.
Buy classes to take shortcuts
“It’s the most convenient way. Moreover, the teacher teaches hand-by-hand and just follows the instructions.” Asked why Wang Yi was willing to spend 299 yuan to purchase DeepSeek online teaching courses, her reply was very direct.
Wang Yi, who has been unemployed at home since the beginning of the New Year, is glad that she has caught up with the good times.”In the past two years, everyone knows that the future belongs to AI, but other than those industry talents who have been trained in a targeted manner, most people can’t think of any channels to seize this opportunity. Especially for people similar to me, whose previous industry is no longer viable, and if you find the same type of position to work, the results will be the same. Seeing that a more promising industry is about to rise, how can I not be moved?”
In Wang Yi’s eyes, the word AI has actually been hidden from his work for a long time. Only when using application services on the market equipped with AI models can we detect a new wave of changes brought about by the new wave of technology.
Technology anxiety caused by DeepSeek
“For example, if AI was so popular some time ago, if it started from the media, it seems that you only need to think of a script idea, directly use AI to generate pictures and sounds and then combine them, but you must ensure traffic and revenue. You need to continuously output content, and multiple services of this generation technology require a charge.” When Wang Yi was still an office clerk, he considered doing a sideline job, but when he was in practice, he was persuaded to quit due to uncertainties about various inputs and benefits.
As DeepSeek open source breaks the technology monopoly, AI no longer seems to be the exclusive preserve of the big shots.
The most intuitive feedback is that it has begun to lower the service prices of various AI applications. After various industries connected to DeepSeek, when some AI tools began to be announced for free, they broke the stereotype of ordinary people almost instantly, that is, the technologies and costs originally linked to high-end words such as AI and big models were equivalent to layout a new track. The invisible threshold.
After thinking about the possibilities of the future, Wang Yi became even more determined,”You only need to pay a sum of money to buy out the course, and you can try to learn from the teacher how to use AI better. Practical courses will also teach Local deployment is equivalent to cultivating an intelligent assistant that perfectly suits your needs, so you won’t lose money no matter how you calculate.”
DeepSeek Live Selling Classes
“I mainly want to improve my value in the workplace, and I also want to try and see if I can use it to find better job-hopping opportunities in the future.” Chang Lin, a post-90s generation who has been collecting “DeepSeek+” tutorials since the day DeepSeek became popular around the world, is most anxious about being afraid that he cannot use AI tools well.
“AI that cannot solve practical problems is meaningless. The point is that ordinary people simply don’t understand where the crux is.” Chang Lin believes that although everyone can use DeepSeek, if you want to be the first people to keep up with the wave of technology, you must first clarify your needs.
But as a practical layman, as long as it comes to the choice of specific AI application projects and the layout planning of the target market with AI support, all the assumptions in his mind are empty.”To put it bluntly, it is a lack of practical guidance and some specific reference cases.”
Now, he can easily find what he wants through almost every channel. From buying materials directly, to taking classes in the live broadcast room, to finding an offline training class, it depends on how much Chang Lin is willing to pay for this.”At present, I only spent a few yuan to buy a set of materials collection. I studied myself first, and by the way, I figured out my specific needs. The next step will be to see if I should sign up for a class.”
Selling classes is all about “cutting leeks”
“Go online and search for some relevant information. Many of them are shared for free. Just pack them and put them on the car for sale.” Shen Liu is a standard second-track information dealer.
When zinc scale asked, wouldn’t this mean that consumers were dissatisfied and complained? Shen Liu’s reply was meaningful,”When selling information, we didn’t promise to provide teaching and meeting. It was equivalent to just paying for sharing resources.”
He gave a specific explanation: General virtual goods do not support returns. Even if someone can’t understand and wants to return it, or can’t return it, they still write a bad review, which will not actually affect the next person who needs it. If the platform removes product links due to complaints or reports, it can also distribute data and information everywhere to divert demanding users to social platforms for one-on-one transactions. Other people simply think that it’s just a matter of one or two yuan, and even if they don’t use it, there is no need to chase after them to return the goods.
Zinc Scale found that as long as you search for keywords such as “DeepSeek Tutorial” on major social platforms, you can find links and channels to sell courses, with prices ranging from a penny to tens of yuan.
A quite magical plot is that a professional document “DeepSeek: From Beginner to Proficiency” was written by Yu Menglong’s postdoctoral team at the Metaverse Culture Laboratory of the New Media Research Center of the School of Journalism and Communication, Tsinghua University some time ago. It was originally shared for free, but now it has become the most widely spread source for “applicants” on the Internet.
Among them, a small store hangs a product link with a unit price of 1.12 yuan, and 22,000 units have been sold so far. The link also comes with another option containing the above documents and a full set of gameplay. It is worth 6.88 yuan and indicates that there are tens of thousands of people buying it. So a rough estimate, even using the lowest price of this link, without deducting the platform share, it has already brought a turnover of 24640 yuan to the merchant.
This no-cost business was handled very smoothly by the “applicants”. After all, on relevant shopping platforms, the paid link to this document has long been uploaded. Even if it is only sold for a dime, it will be a good thing for the merchants behind it.
Originally free resources are placed on shelves
For the group of people who couldn’t understand it after reading the information, but still wanted to eat this bowl of rice as soon as possible, skills training courses worth several hundred to several thousand yuan would become a better choice for them. It only depends on how much consumers are willing to pay their own budget.
ButDue to the “cutting leeks”, relevant skills training classes have received large-scale media exposure during this period。A survey report from “Dawan News” stated that some offline training institutions have unclear specific training content and lack of qualification certificates for teachers ‘professionalism.
Regarding online training classes, Zinc Scale even saw many consumers expressing doubts on the Internet: “The so-called skills have no pertinence, and they can still be applied to other technologies and other tracks.””If you compare them a little, you will find that these so-called professional courses, teachers ‘unique guidance, and searching keywords online can almost find corresponding content.”
Paying for knowledge is not a panacea
Previously, Zinc Scale had conducted several surveys on skills teaching and training, almost all of which followed the same routine: exaggerating and promoting the possibility of making quick money through technology in the future → attracting consumers to pay for learning → discovering during the learning process or seeking to realize when being cheated → Training classes do not cover after-sales services and consumers have no way to seek help.
At this stage, this overwhelming trend of “DeepSeek making money” still starts with marketing talks such as “DeepSeek15-Day Tutorial: From Entry to Proficiency”,”Ten Thousand Character Long Essay teaches DeepSeek”,”DeepSeek explodes, and a large number of Internet celebrities are about to die out”. It all revolves around issues such as technical anxiety, doubling performance, and freedom of wealth.
In the short term, course sales will exceed 10,000 yuan
Their ultimate goal is to make users who don’t understand AI but want to learn willing to pay for courses. The result is that this serious utilitarian approach of technology will make users short-sighted.
When the entire skills training track began to embrace new hot spots, they only wanted short-term benefits, so the entire course content design was filled with contents and concepts such as “how to realize quickly”. Teaching only focused on the surface and not on the core, which brought not only the high price fees did not match the actual value of the course content. In the process, the students who received this education also actively or passively increased their utilitarian desire for new technologies, completely thinking about how to find a high-paying job. Even using this to achieve wealth freedom, their imagination of the future of new technologies has been completely imprisoned since then.
The people involved in the entire skills training chain have never really understood the internal logic and technical charm of new technologies like DeepSeek, nor have they thought about expanding and innovating on this basis.
As a result,These so-called AI education have all been reduced to face-saving efforts。
Everything is as Gai Hong, general manager of Xuanrui Fund, said,”From the rise of ChatGPT to Sora to DeepSeek, the reason why it can be used by speculators is that they are actually using information gap, anxiety and traffic to harvest consumers. When everyone is discussing it, consumers should have an objective understanding of new technologies and remain rational.”
Unfortunately, some people easily trust those who sell courses before they even start using DeepSeek.
