How to earn money from writing articles by order requirements? I believe that I should find three types of people. Today, I’d like to introduce the second type.
Part Two – find a boss
如何通过接写作的订单挣钱?我知道要找到三类人。今天，我先来介绍第二类。
第二部分——找到一个老板
Finding a boss is really, really important, because a boss can give me the most direct feedback from a business perspective.
A boss’s main job is choosing the direction, for example, what will be the theme of the articles, what is the expecting transfer rate ofreaders to be customers, and so on. Bosses judge writers' work by salaries and care only about results. By communication and confliction with bosses, we writers will experience the real world’s need.
找一个老板真的非常非常重要，从商业的角度给予最直接的反馈。
老板的主要职责是选定方向，比如，文章的主题定成什么，目标的客户转化率是多少等等。老板用薪水说话，用结果考量。通过与老板的接触和讨价还价，我们写手更能了解真实世界的需要。
The main problem of new comers in writing is that we hardly gain comments. Since bosses have been in a certain industry of a period of time, they have further understandings and their advices are more useful. Writing missions provided by a boss have the features of limited time and quantified requirements, the articles can be measured and improved more efficiently.
A boss is usually very pragmatic. He is always telling the truth since he pays me not the other way around. Usually, when we ask for advice from family members or friends, they won’t say bad things. As a result, we improve slowly. People who can criticize me are really valuable. So I am pretty proud of having several bosses, and will continue to develop and maintain such "friendship".
写作行业的新手最大的问题是缺少反馈。因为老板在这个特定行业待了很长时间、有比较深刻的见解，所以他们的建议更有用。写作是老板交代的工作的话，就有时间限制、有量化标准，文章就能有效地进步。
老板总是很实际的。他们总是说真话，因为是他们给我付钱，而不是我给他们付钱。而一般我们想要建议，去找家人好友的话，他们是不会说我们不好的。我们进步就很慢。诤友难得，要好好珍惜。所以我还挺自豪有好几个老板的，而且未来会不断地发展和维护这样的“友谊”。
Then the question comes, how to find a boss? Many media companies will put contact information, or job vacancies offered on the Internet, so you can search and find them. Send a CV and former works to a potential boss. If the work they need, they will hire you.
那么问题来了，怎样找到老板呢？很多媒体公司会留有联系方式和职位空缺在网上，自己主动去检索发现这些信息。将简历和以前的作品这些干货发送过去，如果他们需要的话，就很有可能雇你啦。
