Before I talk about webmasters, I would like to explain what I think of grassroots. Grassroots generally refer to people living in the middle and lower classes of society who have no money or power, but they have ideals, pursuits, goals, and hope to pass Use your own efforts to change your status. China's Internet has created a lot of grassroots, although they are no longer grassroots. In the content of this article, I will just discuss, what are the grassroots webmasters lacking after 2010?
1. Lack of environment.
Most of the grassroots that really grew up were before 2005-2007. In other words, if you started building a website in 2005 and persisted until now, you would generally have some achievements. I won’t mention the name of a webmaster I know. He built the site in 2005. When he built it, he used Dongyi’s CMS to modify it. He didn’t pay much attention to it when he put it there. After operating it for two years, in 2007, I found that the development momentum of the website was good, so I spent a little time on running it. According to my current understanding, his website is not bad, with about 20K views every month.
But when it came to building a website around 2008, it was basically difficult to build a good website. In addition to factors related to China's national conditions, there is also the concept of resources. Hence, leading to my second argument
2. Lack of resources.
What do grassroots webmasters lack most? Lack of resources. This aspect of resources gives me the deepest feeling. I have joined a QQ group of Hu Yang before. They probably contracted the server of a certain computer room, and then provided free resources to the webmasters, asking each webmaster to place an advertisement for him, or to take a percentage of the website's profits. as reward. From this incident, I felt a lot, and I came to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter what type of website you want to build a website in China, what matters is what resources you have.
In addition, in the second case, I saw a message from Mou Changqing, a well-known Chinese Internet promoter, in the GJJ group, saying that he planned to turn a certain website into a website for a certain region. I opened the website and took a look. From the perspective of the website, at least it was not a good website, but from the perspective of his SEO methods and resources, I thought it was very easy to fulfill his promise.
Nowadays, many webmasters are pouring into this industry. In fact, you really need to ask yourself, what resources do you have? In any industry, it is impossible to succeed without resources. In other words, you will have to work harder than you do. The results obtained varied dramatically.
3. Lack of technology.
Grassroots webmasters take care of everything from website planning, art, programming, and promotion. The webmaster is a person with very high overall quality requirements. However, since ancient times, no one is perfect. When one person goes to a far place, he must betray the other person. One direction is far away.
Grassroots webmasters have no shortage of ideas and IEDA, but what they lack is the technology to realize their ideas. Technology includes many types, not necessarily just procedures. When I attended the webmaster conference, there were many successful webmasters, or many webmasters in traditional resource industries, but they seemed to be lacking in technology.
Let me give another example below. A certain car network in Shenzhen has very good capabilities in traditional industries. My friend is currently responsible for technology development in this company. When I was chatting with him, he said that his company has already placed orders for advertising for next year this year, and has confirmed at least about 500,000 advertising. There are only 5 people in their company. But before that, this car network could not be solved due to technical bottlenecks. For such a commercial company, there are still technical bottlenecks, and their solution can be solved with money, but for a grassroots webmaster, this is definitely a huge burden!
Webmasters born after 2010 are really not optimistic. Virtual hosts are about to be closed. If the server hosting model is adopted, it will inevitably cause a great increase in the cost of webmasters. The domestic environment has also dealt a serious blow to the personal website. With the BBS closed and interactive functions closed, how can such a site attract popularity?
In 2010, personal websites were in a state of ice and fire. Maybe 2010 is a turning point in the history of personal webmasters. Original article: Sun Feibai www.10739.com Please keep this line for reprinting
