I'm a webmaster who doesn't understand technology (maybe it's too early to tell because the website is still under construction), and I don't understand all the terminology of the website. The website I am working on is called Liaocheng Decoration Network. I write down some of my personal thoughts and personal experience summaries. I hope that the text written below will be of some inspiration to those who are preparing to invest in the Internet industry. To be honest, I didn’t know there was Jack Ma, Robin Li, or that websites could make money. I'm just an ordinary interior designer. The idea of running a website started three years ago.
Three years ago, that is, in 2007, I was working outside and preparing to go home to develop my career. It was the end of 2006, because of my own unwillingness and the unique and positive fighting spirit of young people. I rented a house in downtown Liaocheng to start a personal design studio. Mainly to make renderings for others. At that time, I was not even familiar with the streets of Liaocheng and could not tell the difference between east, west and north (I was directionally blind, and still am now. Not to mention the hardship of finding a house during this period, it has nothing to do with the website.) How do people know about my studio? Which? I feel really helpless when I am unfamiliar with the city. Others don’t know me, so I thought of the Internet. I first posted a large number of my works from a well-known local forum. After all, Liaocheng is a small city. It really played a big role. Let others know about your design abilities by posting your works. I also learned about the charm of the Internet for the first time. But I didn’t receive any jobs at that time. In order to survive, I couldn’t just rely on design. After all, I didn’t have much fame. Because I have skills, I thought of recruiting students. But advertising is not allowed in the forum. I made my first website, a purely static website. Originally, I asked my high school classmates to do it, but it’s really better to ask for help than to ask for help from others. My friend’s work was very slow and unsightly. I spent a week teaching myself to build my own website. (I’m not afraid of people laughing at me. I didn’t do it myself. I saved other people’s websites page by page and modified them using DW and PS). Just such a static website that has never been modified once allowed me to take on two students. I also began to receive design work. I won’t tell you how hard it was to build this website. I started by registering a domain name, so you can imagine. From then on, I knew that no matter what I do, I must have a website.
In order to make a living, I have to engage in interior design work, and I have never done anything about the website. But I have never forgotten to pay attention to the local Internet. I discovered one thing that is also the main reason why I want to create "Liaocheng Decoration Network". That is, I couldn’t find any similar website using Baidu. I'm crazy, I feel like I've discovered a new world. I immediately registered a domain name www.liaochengzhuangshi.cn . (Every viewer will know that I have many names by looking at the domain name. Of course, it is no longer needed now and has been changed to www.0635zs.com ) At that time, the "Liaocheng Decoration Network" only made static connections, except for my personal exquisite indoor and outdoor effects. There is nothing else except the picture. I don’t know what promotion is, and I don’t know what website maintenance is. At the same time, my interior design studio also made some progress. For the sake of living, I have not bothered with my "Liaocheng Decoration Network" and I am still doing interior design. But a chance phone call changed my mind.
A strange woman called me and met with me. She claimed to be a salesperson from 114 Company, and she was talking to me about cooperation with "Liaocheng Decoration Network". (To be honest, I was confused at the time) She also said a lot of things that I didn’t understand. The marketing plan, operation plan, and profit model are all... difficult for me to describe in words. Fortunately, I had many years of social experience and I was calm until she said that the way to cooperate was for me to provide part of the funds. Their company provides part of the funds and so on. I forgot how many thousands it was, but it was a number I couldn’t come up with. I politely said that I was not interested in this, and besides, it was simply unrealistic to run a website in Liaocheng. (Of course, I didn’t say everything I said against my will). After this person left, I immediately went online to find what 114 was. (Because I only knew the phone number 114) I was shocked, "China Yellow Pages" (she also introduced it at that time, and took a lot of company information. She also showed her work permit. But I was so excited at the time that I was completely confused). After learning about the Chinese Yellow Pages, I couldn't eat or sleep well for two days. I identified my own idea - I must start "Liaocheng Decoration Network".
I have summarized a few points about this matter:
1. It is absolutely okay to operate a website, otherwise the China Porn Network will come to you to discuss cooperation?
2. It is okay to operate local industry websites for the same reason as above
3. Running a website requires funds, and according to the woman, it’s quite a lot.
4. Local industry websites will definitely be a piece of meat in the future, and we must attack first.
5. If you don’t do it now, a company with more strength than you will do it in the future. Okay! Don’t do it again for the rest of your life
6. Do it right now. When someone talks to you about cooperation in the future, quickly choose a good partner to cooperate with immediately. Otherwise, there are only two ways to go, either to be acquired, or to be killed by someone else's strength.
From then on, the only thing that bothered me was where to find start-up funds, and things were delayed for another year. During this period, I thought a lot about how to build this website with the least amount of money, and I started looking for someone who could build a website for me. I have realized that my website is not called a website at all. I've looked for companies and people. Quotes range from one thousand to ten thousand. I was stupid again and didn't know what to do. Finally, I found a local Internet company and sold the deal for 1,200 yuan, with a down payment of 800. After working on it for a whole year (I can’t blame them entirely, I will mention it later), I built an ASP website, which was full of loopholes. , cannot run at all. It was a waste of my space, domain name and 800 yuan for a year. At present, I have found someone who I am very optimistic about, and I hope he will not let me down again. But I have summarized the following points from my experience of finding someone to build a website:
1. There must be a very complete and reasonable website framework, including functions and details. You must use a form of expression of what you want that designers can understand. The most important thing is not to just have ideas, but to let the designers know what functions you want to use to achieve them. Otherwise, the design cycle will be shaky. (This is also the reason why I haven’t finished it in a year)
2. What is your goal when building a website? You cannot plagiarize others. You must analyze carefully to find your own breakthrough point, and don't use the same things to compete with others. Both sides can only suffer losses. The function should be as simple as possible, so simple that you can manage it yourself and people can operate it. I find that the only feeling most websites give people now is that they are big. It’s so big that people don’t know where to start. You don’t even know where to start or what the viewers will think (since the website is still under construction, I won’t write down my ideas before it is completed, because during the year of website construction, I am There are already 4 websites in this industry in the area, and the competition is too fierce. I have also found my breakthrough. Here is my personal opinion. The idea is not the most important, but how to do it when the time comes. Continue to post my breakthrough and how I did it.)
3. The planning of the website must involve the participation of industry professionals. The so-called industry professionals refer to the industry professionals of the type of website you want to build. I am not a person who makes websites. For example, if I want to make a decoration website, I am a person in this industry. I know the needs of the industry inside and out. Otherwise, the website will not be targeted at all.
4. Find someone to build a website. If you have money, find a big company. If you don't have much money, just find someone. When looking for a company, you are also looking for someone. I spent the 800 yuan a year working with technicians all day long. The boss of the company doesn't care about anything. And don’t believe what the website team says. They are all fooling you, one is an artist and the other is a programmer. The program is also about copying and pasting codes written by predecessors, and then adjusting the syntax. Although I don't know how to do it, I understand the reason. Anyone who says they wrote it themselves is bullshit, don’t be fooled. Anyone who wants tens of thousands of dollars from you is a liar. I don’t believe that the functions of the website you want are so awesome, unprecedented. The function you are thinking of is nothing new. What I do is a website, not software development. What a liar!
5. It is risky to find someone to build a website. Let’s see if you can spot a hero. The most important thing is character, followed by technology. If you are not good at technology, you can learn it. Programmers can find ways to learn it when they encounter something they don't understand. His character is not good. Haha! It’s a waste of time just waiting to spend money! You need to have a correct attitude. If you are deceived, just consider it as fate has not yet arrived! Originally, the Internet is a legend. So don’t give him a large deposit, give it to him in multiple installments. Don't believe anything that says the deposit is not enough money. Isn’t the deposit just money? Why am I going to such a big effort to fool you, the person who makes the website? Besides, as long as you are good at it, are you afraid that no one will want the website you made? Don’t worry about others selling the website to others after it is completed. You can't control it even if you want to. As the same saying goes, a good program depends on who has it, and the idea is not valuable, it depends on how it is implemented. Programmers who really make websites are not afraid that you will not want the website after paying a deposit. (I’m not that stupid myself) If you don’t want anyone, you can sell it by yourself. If you have a good idea, you can run it by yourself. Here I would like to introduce to you the personal Shen Gong: QQ: 44727340 Tel: 13651149483 This time I found him through "Laggard". This person is very steady and sincere in his work. Although the speed is not very fast, it is understandable, after all, it is a part-time job. I picked it out of no less than 100 people. I also know that the website will definitely be operational this time. Don’t look for someone with the best skills. As long as it is enough for you, character comes first, technology comes second, and fate comes third. I still remember what Shen Gong said to me. It feels so classic. "Everyone has his own ideas. I think the first thing is to use the funds you can use to realize an idea of your own or buy something you like, which is happiness." of"
6. If you are building a regional website, don’t hire local people to build it. You must not have the intention of harming others, but you must also have the intention of guarding against others. If found locally. No matter how big or small it is, it will be a worry for you. Is it worth spending money to find the punishment?
7. Space operators cannot use local ones. The reason is the same as above.
Although I can't be called a webmaster yet, some people think what I say is nonsense. But after all, I have been rubbing shoulders with the Internet for two years. I would like to summarize the last few points for those who are preparing to join the ranks of webmasters and for myself:
1. Jack Ma is not a legend, he is a living person. If he does not engage in the Internet industry, he will still have "Niu Yun" and "Zhu Yun" who will also have no power and money. There are successful precedents that show that this path is feasible.
2. If you don’t succeed, you will be successful. Don’t be idealistic about your goals. Everything is done rather than imagined. You may not succeed even if you do it, let alone if you don't do it. If you have an idea, do it. Don't let the idea just be an idea.
3. Innovation is for saints, because saints have the capital and can withstand blows. Don’t set your sights too high. It’s not too late to become a saint when you have the capital. You won’t stumble if you follow your predecessors. It is better to learn growth experiences than to learn the secrets of success.
4. It’s better to have fewer aspirations than to have long ones. Capital speaks for itself. Do you have the capital to set so many aspirations? Do one well before doing others. If you don’t do one well, you won’t be able to do well.
5. Taking advantage of every opportunity is half the battle, don’t touch the egg with the stone. Don’t do things that others have done well. If you want to do it, just put a needle in the things you haven't done well as a human being.
6. People don’t need to have self-confidence, perseverance is enough. How to talk about confidence without perseverance
I wish the future webmaster all his wishes come true
