Is online part-time training reliable?

Unreliable.

There are many names for "side job training", many of which are not worthy of the name. The real purpose is to make profits through "advertising to attract traffic-students joining the group-fooling to realize cash-selling courses at high prices". The content of courses purchased by students at high prices is of poor quality and most of them have no practical value, which is a waste of money and time. Some of the students were also defrauded by criminals. Advertising advertisements for side hustle training can be seen on many well-known online platforms

Training skills are not positive, but part-time jobs are particularly positive

There are many names for "side hustle training" on Internet platforms.

First, video editing. After the reporter signed up for a video editing training course by scanning the QR code, he entered a WeChat group of about 150 people. In this group, there are content posted by course administrators advocating various "monetization methods". The live broadcast course was taught by a film and television blogger who claimed to have 20 million fans. In addition to briefly introducing the recommendation rules of some video platforms, he spent most of the time "showing off" his performance in selling goods and monetizing through the platform, claiming that "recently The minimum daily income is 19,000.”

At the end of the course, the "lecturer" said that he could give "one-on-one" lessons to 15 students. He could not only "step by step" teach various monetization techniques, give away fans for free, and connect with supply sources. It is also promised that if students work full-time, their monthly income will be no less than 10,000 yuan from the second month, but they will need to pay a course fee of 2,990 yuan. Some students paid.

The "lecturer" in a certain editing training course mainly focuses on promoting part-time jobs to make money

Second, short video platform content transfer. There are such advertisements on multiple social platform accounts, claiming that "you don't need to speak English, you don't need to know how to shoot and edit, you just need to master the 'transportation' rules" to "transport" the videos released by the domestic short video platform to the overseas version and wait for the "traffic" Cash out” and make big money.

Thirdly, "Learning to be a 'psychological listener' can not only receive a professional certificate but also be assigned a part-time job to make money." In order to persuade reporters to pay for the course, the staff of a training institution repeatedly emphasized that after the training, After giving the certificates, the institution will "dispatch" part-time jobs for students to make money. However, when the reporter asked about "what certificates" can be issued, the frequency and method of "dispatch" for part-time jobs, the staff member was vague. Other trainings such as "dubbing monetization" and "data analyst" also have problems that are not worthy of their name.

Many job seekers participate in such training courses. The multiple online live classes attended by this reporter have more than 1,000 participants, many of whom are eager to find jobs or are not finding success at the moment.

The Internet "side job training trap" has many routines and great dangers

The Internet "side job training trap" has some distinctive "routines."

First, most of them use "1 yuan tuition fee", "0 yuan tuition fee" and "can make a lot of money" to attract traffic. After that, they frequently send messages and make phone calls to induce students to buy courses at high prices. Relevant course fees range from several thousand yuan to more than 10,000 yuan.

Second, training institutions often "promise" students that after paying high tuition fees to purchase courses, the institution can recommend or "dispatch" them to provide part-time money-making opportunities. However, reporters found that most of these promises could not be fulfilled at all. “The promised 20 days to earn back tuition fees have not been fulfilled even after 40 days,” said a student in a short video editing class. Many experts from the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said they had never heard of the profession of psychological listener.

The so-called "psychological listener" position is expensive to train for.

Third, the training effect is not worthy of the name and the quality is low. According to reports from many students, the content of some training instructors' lectures is very superficial, or even pasted and pieced together from the Internet, with almost no practical value; some training instructors ask students to spend hundreds of yuan on dubbing software to make film and television explanation videos but cannot publish them; Some training course instructors have faked their identities. The reporter contacted a well-known film and television blogger who allegedly taught editing courses, and he said that "someone online is pretending to be me and selling courses."

Faced with such traps, once students fall for them, their legitimate rights and interests are often not protected. The reporter searched a number of online complaint platforms and found that there were hundreds of complaints against the above-mentioned institutions, and the reasons were mostly "no refunds".

In addition, the large "student group" also faces a huge risk of being targeted by fraudsters.

Luo Junhao, a police officer from the Yangqiao Police Station of the Fengtai Public Security Bureau in Beijing, told reporters that after Ms. Li, a Beijing citizen, recently signed up for such a side job training class, she was tempted by a "lecturer" to make money part-time through "large cash rebates" for shopping, and she was defrauded and lost tens of thousands of yuan. Yuan money.

The difficulty in governance lies in clarifying the legal responsibilities of the traffic diversion platform

Zhao Jingwu, associate professor at Beihang University Law School and deputy director of the Beijing Science and Technology Innovation Center Research Base, said that the key and The difficulty lies in how to cut off the chain of illegal institutions or platforms using well-known online platforms to attract traffic, clarify the legal responsibilities of traffic-draining platforms, and consolidate the platform's responsibility-bearing mechanism.

Some trainees who were victims told reporters that online platforms often shirk responsibility afterwards on the grounds that they are unable to take responsibility for the training content.

Zhao Jingwu believes that in practice, platform operators cannot give up their obligation to review exaggerated and false elements in such training advertisements. In addition, according to the relevant regulations on Internet advertising, platform operators, as Internet information service providers, are obliged to monitor and inspect the advertising content displayed and published using their information services. For "sideline training trap" advertisements that clearly pose a risk of fraud, the platform The operator shall also be liable for compensation for some of the user's losses.

If some platform accounts insert propaganda content about “sideline training traps” into their live broadcasts, short videos, etc., the account operators shall bear joint and several liability with the training institutions, and the platform operators shall be obliged to report The victim user informs the actual identity of the relevant account operator.

BOSS directly hired security experts remind that "side job training traps" often take advantage of job seekers' eagerness to find a job, and some job seekers who are not currently finding a job are easily deceived. Job seekers are advised to pay attention to several points: first, reject the temptation of "high-paying part-time job", focus on whether the salary is significantly higher than the average level, and keep in mind that there will be no pie in the sky; second, there is nothing wrong with the idea of ??improving skills to assist job hunting, but it must be Carefully screen the qualifications of training institutions, and be especially careful with institutions that are "not active in training skills, but particularly active in part-time jobs." Third, you must adjust your job-hunting mentality. Don't be discouraged or overly anxious when you encounter unsatisfactory results. Calm down and adjust. strategies or seek professional support.

The police stated that they will give full play to the role of the joint anti-fraud working mechanism at all levels. If there is an increase in police reports that people are introduced to third-party chat tools from a certain platform to commit fraud, they will promptly cooperate with the market, Internet information and other relevant departments. Departmental interview platform to supervise and ensure the "entry gate".
