Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 69 The Last Day

"See you tomorrow, Brother Xiao!"

"Okay, get some rest, goodbye!"

The group chatted until 10 p.m. before going to rest.

Xiao Kai benefited greatly from the exchange over the past few hours.

He not only learned how to buy traffic to promote his videos, but also knew some related knowledge about video operation.

It has to be said that they are indeed professionals in this area, and Xiao Kai felt that he had grown a lot.

Back in the tent, Xiao Kai took out his phone and opened the text message interface. Looking at the message showing his bank card balance, he kept thinking.

He currently only has a little over 10,000 yuan left in his bank account, all of which he earned by fishing recently.

He originally had quite a lot, but he spent almost all of it on buying and modifying cars and preparing supplies for this fishing trip.

As things stand, this amount of money is definitely not enough to buy traffic for all his videos for promotion, so a decision needs to be made.

Prior to this, he had posted a total of eight videos, three of which were from previous competitions, and the other five were videos he had recorded and uploaded over the past month.

In terms of overall quality, the video from that competition is definitely better.

However, following Xu Lili's advice, it would be best to concentrate most of the resources on one video.

The advantage of this is that it allows for more focused promotion, attracts more passersby to watch, and makes it easier to retain viewers.

The three competition videos all belong to the same series, so it would be inappropriate to separate them and promote only one of them.

If all three are promoted, the promotional traffic will be scattered, and the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

Another issue is that those three videos are too long, making it difficult to keep viewers engaged for those who lack patience.

The five videos that followed were short but had some viral moments. Although they didn't seem to get many likes yet, they were perfect for concentrated promotion.

The reason short videos are called short videos is naturally because they are fast-paced and, most importantly, have something to offer.

Unless you're someone with an existing fan base, it's not advisable for newcomers to post very long videos.

In conclusion, Xiao Kai ultimately chose a video of him catching mandarin fish in the Bang River during a later trip.

This video is good in all aspects. It mainly tells the story of his successful fishing trip in the Dabang River and the scene of him buying his catch.

Overall, apart from the somewhat lacking background music, the quality is quite good.

Xiao Kai transferred most of the money in his card to WeChat. Apart from keeping 2000 as a reserve, he used the rest to buy promotional traffic and invested it all in this video.

As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your life; Xiao Kai is really going all out this time.

He didn't know if doing this would ultimately be effective, but since he had made the decision, he wouldn't regret it.

After finishing, Xiao Kai stopped thinking about it and quickly went to sleep.

The next morning, Xiao Kai got up early as usual to have breakfast.

It wasn't until he had been fishing for over an hour that the three of them got up.

After greeting Xiao Kai, they returned to the waterfall where they had filmed the day before.

According to Xu Lili and her companions, because they arrived late yesterday, they were unable to capture many of the light and shadow effects that could only be found in the morning, which is why they stayed overnight.

Fortunately, the sun came out today, so barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should be able to finish.

Sure enough, they returned in less than an hour.

"Xiao Kai, we'll be going now. I'll tag you in my next video, so remember to reply then!"

"Okay, thank you!"

"Don't mention it, you helped us first, bye~"

Bye-bye~

After saying goodbye to Xiao Kai, the group packed their luggage and drove away in their SUV.

After the others left, Xiao Kai was left alone on the riverbank again.

Xiao Kai fished like that until noon before returning to his car to start cooking.

After lunch, Xiao Kai lay on a camping chair scrolling through his phone.

"Wow, it's definitely worth the money; the effect is that obvious?"

Looking at the video data on his phone's Douyin backend for the video he had paid to promote yesterday, Xiao Kai was somewhat surprised.

In just one night, the number of likes on that video skyrocketed from 1276 to 6378.

Not only that, but the number of followers has also increased from more than 700 to more than 1200, which meets the minimum requirements for Douyin's mid-length video plan.

Keep in mind that most of this takes place at night, with only a few hours during the day. What kind of effect is that?

hiss~

"I wish I had bought it sooner!"

Looking at the changes in the data on his phone, Xiao Kai felt a pang of regret for not knowing this method sooner; otherwise, he would have done it much earlier.

"Fortunately, it's not too late!"

.....

Time flies, and the day is over in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Kai caught even more fish today than yesterday, but mainly common fish like crucian carp and common carp. He didn't even catch the few green bamboo carp he caught yesterday.

Xiao Kai was somewhat disappointed, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, this kind of fish is rare, so catching a few is already considered pretty good.

The next day, Xiao Kai fished all day again.

On this day, Xiao Kai gained even more.

What's worth celebrating is that Xiao Kai finally caught a green bamboo carp again that day, and luckily, this time a whole school of them came at once.

In less than two hours, Xiao Kai caught a total of 14 green bamboo carp, some big and some small. The largest one weighed about ten pounds, and the smallest one weighed three or four pounds. In total, they weighed about fifty or sixty pounds.

Xiao Kai was very satisfied with what he had accomplished that day.

The date has arrived: November 5th.

This was Xiao Kai's fourth and final day at the river.

Over the past four days, Xiao Kai has caught no less than 500 jin of fish, but he released most of them, keeping only the most precious green bamboo carp and some crucian carp and grass carp with intact skin.

Actually, Xiao Kai originally wanted to release all the crucian carp and grass carp, but he didn't because he was afraid that the fish storage space in the carriage would be wasted.

After all, we're here to make money, so it's always better to carry as much as possible.

Some might say that if he wants to make money, he can simply sell all the fish and make more trips.

But Xiao Kai didn't want to do that. First, he was already very tired after fishing for four days in a row and didn't want to torture himself anymore. Second, he didn't want to go too far.

His original purpose was to make money and travel on the side.

But now that we've caught the most valuable green bamboo carp, there's no need to kill off the other fish.

He knew very well how terrifying his aura was; if he wanted to, he could fish here for a few months and the resources in this river would definitely be reduced by a lot.

He wouldn't do, and didn't want to do, such a short-sighted thing.

This is one of the reasons why he chose to leave his hometown to go fishing in other places. Otherwise, with his aura, he could have bought a house and a car by spending some time fishing in all the rivers around Ping Shun City.
