Hello, dear mom, I am Tianjieer Xiaoyan, and my main business is operations management. I work part-time as a ppt designer on weekends for about half a year, and my total part-time income is about 15,000 yuan. As a slash youth, there is nothing happier than earning two copies of your own money and spending it on your own, so I would like to share my experience of working part-time as a PPT designer, hoping it can help you~ Layoffs made me understand the importance of a side job

Actually, I have always wanted to have a side job with stable income to contribute to my “wealth freedom”. However, due to 996 in the early stage and promotion to a management position in the later stage, the work tasks were heavy and complicated, and they were never implemented in action. It wasn't until the country introduced the "double reduction" policy in August 2021 that thousands of online education practitioners suddenly received the first layoff notice in their lives, and I was one of them. Being in a job gap period, I had no choice but to understand the importance of a side job, so I made up my mind to find a side job that I liked or was good at, and put it into action.

After reading the videos of various bloggers’ side jobs on Xiaohongshu for a few days, I decided to try a part-time job as a PPT designer for three reasons:

First, I started at the grassroots level of operations To achieve management, making PPT is commonplace. Although the level is relatively basic, it is still relatively easy to get started, and I also want to take this opportunity to improve my design level;

Secondly, I have never worked in Xiaohongshu I have seen a complete PPT part-time science popularization. Most bloggers mentioned this part-time job in one sentence, saying that it can be done, but how to do it and how much money you can earn are rarely mentioned, so I plan to satisfy my curiosity. ;

Thirdly, I am planning to start a self-media business. If I can learn more about this part-time job and popularize it to friends who also need this part-time job, it will be a very useful subject.

Based on the above three points, as well as the urgency to make a short living during the window period, I just jumped in and started doing it. Moreover, I have gained a lot from the whole process, so I want to share this side job with friends who need it, so that we can move towards financial freedom together. ?Industry pricing standards, and how I received the order

The income level of a part-time PPT designer is directly related to the delivered PPT form, so here I will briefly expand the PPT form and present it to you. PPT is divided into dynamic and static categories; according to the degree of exquisiteness, it is divided into standard, exquisite and high-end. There are 6 forms in this combination, namely standard static, standard dynamic, exquisite static, exquisite dynamic, high-end static and high-end dynamic. Generally speaking, income increases sequentially according to these six forms, but in the actual business process, price is often directly related to the comprehensive requirements of the demand side. For example, compared to individuals, if the demander is an enterprise or a party or government group, the overall design requirements of PPT will be more stringent, including the designer's aesthetics, richness of design experience, understanding of customer needs, and various aspects of using PPT. Function proficiency and the scope of unlocking each function are all tests.

(Enterprise-level demand-side delivery case)

To sum up, the unit price of PPT design cannot be distinguished by the specific amount simply by form. Judging from the actual situation, junior designers who pass the interview can deliver standard orders (such as speech papers and work reports) and earn 60 to 120 yuan per order; as the number of orders increases and more skills are unlocked, intermediate designers Designers can deliver exquisite orders (such as courseware, business plans), and earn 100 to 300 yuan per order; senior designers can deliver high-end orders (such as corporate cooperation, party and government education), and earn 180 yuan per order. ~500 yuan. However, I must point out that the above figures are not absolute, but only rough calculations.

(Screenshot of some orders in the order-receiving group)

I received 4 orders in the first month (4 orders per month is the bottom line requirement of the platform), including standard orders and exquisite orders. The total income is 585 yuan, with an average of 146.25 yuan per order. Therefore, the monthly income of this side job starts at 500 yuan, which is quite considerable for leisure friends (especially college students).

In order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm, the platform releases the top 20 monthly salaries every month. The monthly salary of these people basically reaches 20,000 yuan. It can be seen that no matter how hard you work, you will gain something. The most important thing about doing side business is still a common truth: overcome inertia and persist for a long time.

In addition, PPT design is just a general term for design. The platform generally also 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 about delivering results, but also about delivering services. The service process from greeting to communicating design needs, outputting samples, confirming samples, outputting final drafts, confirming and modifying final drafts, and delivery reflects the designer's professional attitude, so customer satisfaction is the most important thing.

Each step of this process requires enough time, so people who are suitable for this part-time job need to have relatively sufficient time. Considering that PPT design is an essential skill in the workplace, I think Stay-at-home mothers who are self-reliant to maintain their working status, as well as students who are preparing for career skills, can all come and give it a try. Of course, there are also young people who are migrant workers who have spare energy and want to earn two incomes. They are absolutely cool and confident. Let’s talk frankly about the advantages and disadvantages of this part-time job

The advantages are obvious. The first thing is to earn food expenses. Talking about money is a bit vulgar, but it is not vulgar to support oneself.

Secondly, through this part-time job, we can push ourselves out of our comfort zone and unlock various practical PPT skills. Take myself as an example. Before my part-time job, I was a PPT novice and could only use basic functions. After my part-time job, I can use PPT cutouts to change backgrounds, design posters, add watermarks, set switching animations, etc.

Furthermore, as mentioned before, good content presented in a good form is a bonus, so learn to use an advanced form to present the content , reflects the level and attitude, and will often be better in actual work.

Last point, through this part-time job, we can learn some new knowledge in new fields, because PPT orders are classified into many categories and cover a wide range of topics, including promotion competition reports, corporate business cooperation, management training, party and government red education, etc. . Therefore, while doing PPT, we can learn from the reporting ideas of people from large manufacturers, understand the current status and bottlenecks of various industries, get in touch with excellent business management methods and experiences, etc., and a free knowledge base will appear in front of us. Of course, I would like to remind everyone here that as it relates to professional ethics and respect for intellectual property rights, all demander information must be kept strictly confidential and must not be leaked.

As for the shortcomings, the third point mentioned the delivery process. Obviously this job is no different from sitting in an office, so there is a problem that the body cannot bear it after sitting for a long time. From this point of view, it is possible that the service time for each order is longer, from three to five hours to one or two days, so the hourly wage is indeed not very high, so you have to weigh it yourself.

Secondly, after all, everyone has different aesthetics. Occasionally, when you encounter customers with tricky requirements, you may give up halfway. Therefore, everyone needs to actively adjust their mentality and not easily deny and doubt themselves because of one or two orders.
