2018年机器学习从业者
经验与建议 (Experience & Advice)
Income generation is a topic that has become more relevant than ever due to the number of professionals getting laid off from companies that can no longer keep up with difficulties brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.
我 ncome生成是一个主题，变得比以往更具相关性，由于公司从被解雇的专业人员数量，可以不再跟上由冠状病毒大流行带来的困难。
Even without the pandemic, ‘income generation’ was (and still is) a trending topic amongst students, professionals, entrepreneurs…basically everyone.
即使没有大流行，“创收”也是(现在仍然 )是学生，专业人士，企业家……基本上每个人中的一个热门话题。
作为机器学习从业人员，我在本文中特别关注的是经过验证的方法，您可以使用这些方法来产生主收入或副收入。 (What I specifically focus on in this article are proven methods that you, as a machine learning practitioner can use to generate either a main or side income stream.)
Don’t worry I won’t bore you with inspirational quotes or sell you dreams of six-figure income streams.
不用担心，我不会给您带来鼓舞人心的报价，也不会向您出售六位数收入来源的梦想。
Personal accounts and experiences are proven to be more impactful and relatable, so in this article, you’ll find that I share my personal experiences with methods that currently provide me with an income stream.
事实证明，个人帐户和经验更具影响力和相关性，因此，在本文中，您将发现我使用当前可为我提供收入来源的方法分享我的个人经验。
Here are methods of obtaining income I’ll be covering: Career, Medium, Consultancy, Email list, YouTube etc.
以下是我将介绍的获取收入的方法：职业，中型，咨询，电子邮件列表，YouTube等。
1.中📑 (1. Medium 📑)
Let’s start with an obvious income generating method.
让我们从一种显而易见的创收方法开始。
The first article I wrote on Medium was back in 2017. Back then, I was oblivious to the fact that you could earn some form of income on Medium.
我在Medium上写的第一篇文章是在2017年。那时，我没有注意到您可以在Medium上获得某种形式的收入。
Fast forward to 2020.
快进到2020年。
Now writing on Medium provides me with a small amount of income to supplement earnings from my career.
现在在Medium上写作可以为我提供少量收入，以补充我的职业收入。
As you may or may not know, I write articles that are artificial intelligence and machine learning related. Some of my articles are advice pieces such as this article, but largely I write technical articles, here’s an example.
也许您不知道，我写的文章与人工智能和机器学习有关。 我的一些文章是一些建议性文章，例如本文，但是我主要撰写技术文章，这里有一个例子 。
My initial reasons for writing on Medium were:
我最初在Medium上写作的原因是：
- Creating a form of portfolio 建立投资组合形式
- Reinforcing my learning through teaching 通过教学加强学习
Now my reasons for writing on Medium has expanded to include:
现在，我在Medium上写作的原因已经扩展到：
- Creating a personal brand 建立个人品牌
- Educating individuals on machine learning and computer vision topics 对个人进行有关机器学习和计算机视觉主题的教育
Building a side income
建立额外收入
让我们谈谈数字。 💲 (Let’s talk numbers. 💲 💲 💲)
It’s probably important that I mention that writing on Medium won’t create a substantial sum of income within the first month or even the first year.
重要的是，我提到在Medium上写作不会在第一个月甚至第一年内创造可观的收入。
To provide you with a clearer picture, in June only 5.7% of writers earned over $100.
为了向您提供更清晰的图片，6月只有5.7％的作家收入超过$ 100。
Some writers earn enough income from Medium to make it a full-time job, and you can become one of these writers, or at least part of the small percentage that earn over $100.
有些作家从Medium赚取了足够的收入，可以从事全职工作，您可以成为其中一位作家，或者成为收入超过100美元的一小部分作家的至少一部分。
Personally, in 2020 I’ve earned $3,374.19 so far from my Medium articles. In the past seven months, I’ve written at least 2–3 articles a week.
就个人而言，到2020年为止，我的中型文章收入为$ 3,374.19。 在过去的七个月中，我每周至少撰写2-3篇文章。
The hours and effort I put into writing on Medium could probably earn you 3x more in some other career or income-generating method.
我在Medium上投入的时间和精力可能会为您带来其他职业或创收方法带来的3倍的收益。
Writing on Medium can be said to be a long term investment. More importantly, you have to couple the monetary benefits with other incentives, or you probably might quit very early on.
在Medium上写作可以说是一项长期投资。 更重要的是，您必须将金钱利益与其他激励措施结合起来，否则您可能很早就退出。

Consultants/Contractors usually have their own limited company and are paid based on hourly rates, or day rates.
顾问/承包商通常有自己的有限公司，并根据小时费率或日薪来支付费用。
The main caveat of consultancy is that the duration of a job is set. Some machine learning engineers are hired to drive an AI initiative within an organization for six months to a year. And a lot of them are compensated handsomely.
咨询的主要警告是确定工作的持续时间。 雇用了一些机器学习工程师来在组织内推动AI计划六个月到一年。 其中许多人得到了丰厚的报酬。
Other consultancy or contract-based roles could last days, weekends or even hours.
其他顾问或基于合同的角色可能会持续几天，周末甚至几个小时。
Personally, I’ve acted as a consultant on a couple of occasions:
就个人而言，我曾担任过几次顾问：
Providing guidance on deep learning and computer vision techniques for unique problems
为深度学习和计算机视觉技术的独特问题提供指导
Technical author of a ‘yet to be released’ Computer vision book.
“尚未发布”计算机视觉书的技术作者。
让我们谈谈数字。 💲 (Let’s talk numbers. 💲 💲 💲)
The income I’ve made from my consultancy gigs is not a life-changing sum of money. However, the financial upside and potential of becoming an expert machine learning consultant or contractor are still appealing.
我从咨询工作中获得的收入并不是改变人生的总金额。 但是，财务上的吸引力和成为专家机器学习顾问或承包商的潜力仍然很有吸引力。

4.建立电子邮件列表📪 (4. Building an Email List 📪)
I’ve known about email lists for a while now, and I’m subscribed to a few individuals email listing.
我已经了解了一段时间的电子邮件列表，并且我订阅了一些个人电子邮件列表。
Having your email within an email list means you are providing a gateway of frequent communication between yourself and whosoever’s list you are subscribing to.
将您的电子邮件包含在电子邮件列表中意味着您可以在自己与所订阅的任何列表之间提供频繁通信的网关。
The subscription content tends to be newsletters that are sent out frequently. You could receive a newsletter daily or monthly.
订阅内容往往是经常发送的新闻通讯。 您可以每天或每月收到时事通讯。
Although I’ve known about email lists for a while, I haven’t always realized their potential to be monetized.
尽管我已经了解了一段时间的电子邮件列表，但我并不总是意识到他们可以通过货币化的潜力。
After spending some time researching methods in which email lists can be monetised, I was able to compile key findings and include them below:
在花了一些时间研究可以通过电子邮件列表货币化的方法之后，我能够汇总关键发现并将其包括在下面：
Selling a product: You could sell machine learning courses or tech devices to your audience.
销售产品：您可以向受众群体出售机器学习课程或技术设备。
Affiliate links: A lot of machine learning practitioners purchase books on platforms such as Amazon. Amazon has a decent affiliate program that is easy to set up. In effect, you could earn a portion of referred book sales.
会员链接 ：许多机器学习从业者在诸如Amazon之类的平台上购买书籍。 亚马逊有一个易于建立的体面会员计划。 实际上，您可以赚取一部分推荐图书的销售。
Selling ad space: If you build an email list with 6,000+ individuals, then you potentially have a valuable social net worth. You can monetize advertisement space within your newsletters.
出售广告空间 ：如果您建立一个包含6,000多个个人的电子邮件列表，那么您就有潜在的宝贵社交资产。 您可以通过时事通讯中的广告空间获利。
Charging for premium content: Providing exclusive content at a reasonable price has always been a method of generating income. By building an email list, you have a direct audience to promote premium content to. Premium content come in many shape and sizes; it could be exclusive information or in-depth courses.
收费优质内容：以合理的价格提供独家内容一直是创收的一种方法。 通过建立电子邮件列表，您可以直接将优质内容推广到其中。 优质内容具有多种形状和大小。 它可以是专有信息或深度课程。
让我们谈谈数字。 💲 (Let’s talk numbers. 💲 💲 💲)
I haven’t monetized my email list, so I can’t provide you with first account detail of income potential.
我尚未通过电子邮件列表获利，因此无法为您提供具有潜在收入的第一帐户详细信息。
Success with an email list is driven by several factors that can be subjective.
电子邮件列表的成功取决于几个主观因素。
Nonetheless, there are several success stories on the internet of individuals generating four-figure monthly revenue and in some cases, six-figures. Some of the potential and upside to creating a high income generating email list is based on the niche and industry that’s targeted.
但是，个人互联网上有一些成功案例，每个月产生四位数的收入，在某些情况下还产生了六位数的收入。 创建高收入电子邮件列表的一些潜力和上行空间取决于目标市场和行业。
I want to provide some official stats here, but unfortunately, the world of revenue through email lists is filled with individual selling marketing and sales courses and providing income figures that are not necessarily verifiable.
我想在此提供一些官方统计数据，但不幸的是，通过电子邮件列表获得的收入世界充满了个人销售营销和销售课程，并提供了未必可验证的收入数字。
动作🔥🔥🔥 (Action 🔥🔥🔥)
The first step to generating income from email lists and newsletter is to have content that people are willing to subscribe to.
从电子邮件列表和新闻通讯中获得收入的第一步是拥有人们愿意订阅的内容。
For example, in my newsletter, I provide subscribers with the following:
例如，在我的时事通讯中 ，我向订户提供以下内容：
Links to my Medium articles, which include article friend links so that non-Medium members get access to my articles behind the Medium paywall
链接到我的中型文章的链接，其中包括文章好友链接，以便非中级会员可以访问我在中型付费墙后面的文章
Links to other articles that provide current and relevant information within the artificial intelligence and machine learning industry
链接到其他文章，这些文章提供了人工智能和机器学习行业中的最新信息和相关信息
Links to interesting AI/ML YouTube content that I believe are worth sharing.
链接到我认为值得分享的有趣的AI / ML YouTube内容。
Links to new machine learning research papers and more.
链接到新的机器学习研究论文等。
Content is king.
内容为王。
Once you are sure you have content that individuals will be more than happy to subscribe to, then you can build your email listing subscription form through service such as MailChimp, ConvertKit etc.
一旦确定您拥有让个人满意的内容，便可以通过MailChimp ， ConvertKit等服务构建您的电子邮件列表订阅表单。
5. YouTube📺 (5. YouTube 📺)
This is the last income-generating method for machine learning practitioners I’ll be including in this article.
这是我将在本文中介绍的针对机器学习从业人员的最后一种创收方法。
Generating video content on YouTube has provided thousands of people with an additional income stream, and many have made YouTube content generation their full-time job.
在YouTube上生成视频内容已为成千上万的人提供了额外的收入来源，并且许多人已将YouTube内容生成作为其全职工作。
Tech-based YouYube channels are quite popular, especially channels that focus on education and tutorials.
基于技术的YouYube频道非常受欢迎，尤其是专注于教育和教程的频道。
Personally, I’m subscribed to channels such as Two Minutes Paper, Daniel Bourke, Sentdex, Deep Lizard, 3Blue1Brown, Yannic Kilcher, Abhishek Thakur etc.
就个人而言，我订阅了诸如《 两分钟报》 ，《 丹尼尔·伯克》 ， Sentdex ，《 深蜥蜴》 ，《 3Blue1Brown》 ，《 Yannic Kilcher》 ，《 阿比舍克· 塔库尔》等频道 。
I have no indication how lucrative the earning of the listed channels above are.
我没有任何迹象表明上面列出的渠道的收入是多么有利可图。
Still, one thing I can say is that the channel owners above did not start on YouTube with the sole intention of generating income or some form of revenue.
不过，我可以说的是，上述频道所有者并非仅出于创收或某种形式的收入而在YouTube上创业的。
Generating income on YouTube is similar to Medium in the sense that you have to create quality and consistent content to generate some form of income. In most cases, YouTube channels don’t make any stable form of income for a while.
在YouTube上产生收入与中型相似，因为您必须创建高质量和一致的内容才能产生某种形式的收入。 在大多数情况下，YouTube频道暂时不会产生任何稳定的收入形式。
让我们谈谈💲 (Let’s talk 💲 💲 💲)
YouTube channels generate income through the portion of ad revenue that YouTube shares with the channel owners. There are strict criteria that channels have to meet before videos become eligible for monetization.
YouTube频道通过YouTube与频道所有者分享的广告收入部分来产生收入。 在使视频有资格获利之前，必须满足严格的标准 。
But once they do, the sky is the limit.
但是一旦这样做，天空就是极限。
Now to provide some arbitrary income potential figures, I used a ‘YouTube Money Calculator’ from Influencermarketingbub to estimate the total earning of a few machine learning practitioners’ channels.
我们提供一些任意的收入潜力的数字，我用从“YouTube的货币计算器” Influencermarketingbub估计一些机器学习从业者的渠道总收入。
Do take note that these figures are simply estimation provided by a tool that has no direct association YouTube platform.
请注意，这些数字只是由没有直接关联YouTube平台的工具提供的估算值。
Let’s start arguably one of the most popular YouTube channels that focuses on AI topics.
让我们开始讨论可能是AI主题的最受欢迎的YouTube频道之一。
Lex Fridman’s YouTube channel is a gold mine and the majority of his videos are interviews with highly reputable individuals in AI or related fields.
Lex Fridman的YouTube频道是一座金矿，他的大部分视频都是对AI或相关领域知名人士的采访。
According to the calculator, his channel earns $229 per video and has earned a total of $106, 677. These estimated earnings figures are impressive.
根据计算器，他的频道每个视频可赚取229美元，而他们总共赚了106、677美元。这些估算的收入数字令人印象深刻。
The next two estimated earing are of YouTubers Yannic Kilcher and Abhishek Thakur. These are two machine learning practitioners that are equally respected in their own rights.
YouTube频道的Yannic Kilcher和Abhishek Thakur预计将获得另外两个收入。 这是两位机器学习从业者，他们在自己的权利中同样受到尊重。
动作🔥🔥🔥 (Action 🔥🔥🔥)
- Create a YouTube Channel 建立YouTube频道
- Upload quality machine learning-based content 上载优质的基于机器学习的内容
- Repeat step 2 until internet fame. 重复步骤2，直到互联网成名。
你做到了最后 (You Made It To The End)
Most of the earning generating strategies presented in this article require a lot of time of effort even to notice minimal income potential.
本文介绍的大多数创收策略都需要花费大量的时间，即使注意到最低的收入潜力。
You probably have only to pick one or two to ensure that you give enough energy to a method to realize its earning potential.
您可能只需要选择一两个即可确保您为一种方法赋予足够的能量以实现其盈利潜力。
To be able to stick to any of the income generations for the long run, I would highly recommend finding an incentive besides monetary gain. Some of the individuals in the top percentile of the mentioned income generation methods did not notice any substantial earning for years.
为了能够长期坚持任何一代人的收入，我强烈建议除货币收益外还寻求一种激励措施 。 在提到的创收方法中，处于最高百分位的一些人多年来没有发现任何可观的收入。
To put it bluntly, be ready for the long game.
坦率地说，为漫长的比赛做好准备。
Below is a summary of ways machine learning practitioners can generate income in 2020 (and beyond):
以下是机器学习从业者在2020年及以后可产生收入的方式的摘要：
- Career 事业
- Medium 中
- Consultancy / Contracting 咨询/签约
- Email list 电邮清单
- YouTube 的YouTube
There are other notable income-generating methods such as: releasing and selling video courses, writing and self-publishing books and even selling machine learning applications.
还有其他显着的创收方法，例如：发行和出售视频课程，编写和自行出版书籍，甚至出售机器学习应用程序。
The best advice I’ve probably received when it comes to income generation is to pick a method and just start.
关于创收，我可能已经收到的最好建议是选择一种方法， 刚开始 。
