[Experiment Start] The Secret Story of the Birth of Dark Mihiro: A Cold-Blooded Analyst Appears Before a Struggling Creator

Prologue: The Wandering Days of 'I Can't Sell Anything'

'Only one person bought my 100-yen article again...'

I stare at my smartphone screen and sigh.
Even with 530 followers, my total sales are only 300 yen.
Honestly, it's painful to face this reality.

But then, an opportunity to change this situation arrived.

The Shock I Received from Nao Kurosaki's Article

Just recently, I purchased this article.

'Beyond "Enjoying and Continuing": The Nao Kurosaki Style Monetization Strategy'

Reading it felt like being struck by lightning.

'Enjoying and continuing' isn't enough.

Her article had a solid 'strategy'.
Clarification of the target, the rationale behind pricing, and concrete steps toward monetization.

Meanwhile, what about my articles?

'Vaguely interesting'
'Vaguely 100 yen'
'Vaguely continuing'

Everything was 'vague'.

What Was Decisively Missing

What I lacked was'strategic thinking'.

• Deciding prices based on emotion (Is 100 yen easy to buy?)

• Ending with personal anecdotes (failing to reach analysis)

• Vague targeting like 'I want to be loved by everyone'

But fundamentally, I am an 'emotional person'.
It's impossible for me to suddenly become a cold-blooded strategist.

If so...

I should just create 'another me'.

Experimental Project: The Birth of Black Mihiro

The idea that was born this way is 'Black Mihiro'.

The Purpose of This Experiment

1. To have my naive strategies analyzed objectively

2. To balance my emotional self with a logical perspective

3. To have readers learn from both perspectives as well

In short, it is an experiment of 'Subjectivity vs. Objectivity' and 'Emotion vs. Logic'.

The Role of Black Mihiro

When I am feeling down, saying 'I failed again today...', she will likely say, 'Let's analyze why it failed using numbers'.

If I say, 'I'm so happy someone bought it, even for 100 yen!', she will surely press me, saying, 'Please provide the basis for why it is 100 yen'.

Value for the Readers

I believe this experiment holds value for you, the readers, as well.

1. As a Textbook of Failure

• You can read articles that objectively analyze my failures

• You can logically understand 'why that strategy failed'

2. Dual Learning Effect

• You can learn from the same experience both emotionally and logically

• Deep understanding through the flow of empathy on the surface and analysis behind the scenes

3. Real-time Growth Story

• You can watch my growth process in real-time

• Verify the effectiveness of improvement measures with numbers

In other words,you get both the failure examples and the improvement measures as a set.

Black Mihiro's Self-Introduction

Black Mihiro has already written her self-introduction article.

[The Birth of Black Mihiro] I calmly analyzed that girl on the surface: An anatomy of sweet strategies

Reading 'my problems' from her perspective was honestly scary.

But it was so accurate that I couldn't even argue back...

Especially regarding pricing, I was completely refuted.
The point that '100 yen lowers the value' left me speechless.

Future Developments

From now on, we will proceed like this:

Surface Mihiro (Me)

• Real-life experiences and failure stories

• The process of trial and error as it is

• Emotional reactions and realizations

Black Mihiro

• Calm analysis and data verification

• Presentation of concrete improvement measures

• Problem-solving through strategic thinking

To all the readers

• Read both articles and learn from multiple perspectives

• Exchange opinions in the comments

• Grow together

First Experiment: Price Improvement Challenge

At Black Mihiro's suggestion, the next paid article will be priced 10 times higher than usual.

100 yen → 1,000 yen

Honestly, I'm scared.
Because until now, even at 100 yen, only one person bought it...

But this is also an experiment.
Black Mihiro will analyze the results for me.

Epilogue: Won't you grow with me?

I cannot do this experiment alone.

The comments, likes, and sometimes harsh feedback from you, the readers, are all fuel for our growth.

White Mihiro's challenge and Black Mihiro's analysis

With this duet, I aim for better note activities.

Please be sure to read Black Mihiro's articles as well.
Her loving strictness toward me will surely be a learning experience for you all too.

Let's grow together.
