I’m so happy. It’s been more than a year since the website was launched, and I finally have a customer who can place ads for a year at a time, and this advertising revenue exceeds the total revenue from Google ads. This makes me more and more confident in my website. .
The time goes back to when I just graduated in 2008. At that time, I had just graduated and went to all the major job markets in Guangzhou to find a job. My daily job was to send in resumes like crazy. I even went to Dongguan for an interview and was deceived and my wallet and phone were robbed. Looking back now I feel scared every time I wake up, so I record every detail of my journey from finding a job to becoming a webmaster. I hope I can summarize my work, and at the same time, I hope it can give some help to people who are looking for a job or preparing to be a webmaster.
When we encountered the financial crisis in 2008, I graduated from an architectural design major in an ordinary university. Since I had no work experience, I spent two months looking for jobs. I spent no less than 300 yuan on entry tickets to the job market. I ate a 5 yuan box lunch every day. After drinking tap water, I looked like a black man from Africa under the sun in the summer. Finally, a Dongguan electronics company called me and asked me to go for an interview. They said they had received my resume in the job market and asked me if I had any intention to apply. As a reserve cadre position, and the company provided food and accommodation, this phone call was like a life-saving straw. I agreed to go for an interview the next day without thinking. When the person who called me to interview found out that I had taken the bait, he said something else. , since the company provides food and accommodation, you have to pay 300 yuan for food. You'd better bring some money when you come. If you pass the interview, you can go to work directly. After arriving at XX station, they sent a car to pick me up. I was still I was thanking the person who asked me for an interview. He was so considerate that I completely forgot what the counselor said in the employment guidance given to us. There are many scammers in Dongguan, so be careful when applying for jobs. The next day I put on the newly bought clothes, took out the only 600 yuan on my bank card, and took the bus from Shangshe Station to Dongguan.
Because I was in a rather excited mood, sitting on the long-distance bus and seeing the rows of factories on the roadside, I felt that I had a bright future. I believed that I could have a world of my own in this place in the future. My dream was not over yet. , but the car suddenly stopped, thinking that it was arriving in Dongguan (the first time I went to Dongguan), some people began to ask the driver, why didn't he leave? How come he was sold piglets? (That is, the driver resold the passengers in the car to other people on the road. A car may drive people out of the car directly). Some passengers in the car were very dissatisfied, but the arrogant driver scolded: "Get off the car quickly." I got off the car obediently and took a motorcycle to the interview location. After arriving at XX station, I called the interview company. They asked me to wait for a while. A colleague later picked me up for the interview. After a few minutes, a dilapidated van stopped. In front of me, they asked me if I went to XX Electronics Company for an interview. After I said yes, they asked me to get in the car. They drove for 30 minutes and stopped near a factory. I thought I had arrived, but I didn’t expect them. They snatched my bag and drove away. They were so fast that they didn't even have time to remember their license plate numbers. When I was lonely and helpless, a patrolling policeman came over on a motorcycle. I stopped him, and he took me to the police station to record the notes. When he came back, he gave me 50 yuan. From that time on, I also had no interest in the police profession. I would like to express my gratitude once again to all the kind-hearted people's police!
After returning to Guangzhou, because I had no money to pay the rent, I temporarily lived in a rental house rented by a classmate. The classmate and his girlfriend shared a room, and I slept in the living room. I worked as a director for nearly a month. I don’t know whether it was my hard work that touched the sky or good luck, but I received an interview call from a construction consulting company in Guangzhou. This time I was more cautious and checked the company information on the Industrial and Commercial Network, and then contacted the Guangzhou Talent Network ( www.guangzhoujob .com ) staff must verify the company's recruitment information before going for an interview. The interview went very well. I got the position of sales consultant with a monthly salary of 800+10% commission. I had no requirements for the conditions offered by the company. I felt that as long as I could not starve to death, I would be fine. No matter how hard or tiring the work was, I was not afraid. The main content of the work is to contact their human resources department with the company information provided by the supervisor to see if they need construction-related talents. Since this industry is quite special, many construction companies need it, so the work is pretty good, and the salary is paid in the first month. , I got my first salary of 2,000 yuan. Not to mention how happy I was, I cried silently when I received my salary. I invited my classmates to dinner that night. A week later, I moved out of my classmates’ rental house and rented a single room in Shangshe City Village for 300 yuan. It can be said that I finally have my own nest after coming to Guangzhou for half a year. Sending 1,000 yuan back to my family is a way of repaying my parents for their upbringing.
Because I have endured more hardships, I work harder than others. When others get off work and play games, I still work overtime at the company. And because I come from a rural area, I don’t have the flashiness of city people. Many customers are willing to cooperate with me. In addition to work matters, they also asked me to help solve problems remotely when they had problems with their personal phones. A year later, I was promoted to sales manager and my income reached 3,000 yuan. Although it was not much, I was very satisfied. A customer's words reminded me that since I majored in architecture and was so proficient in computers, why not make my own website and start my own business. "Yes, I want to build a website related to construction consulting services myself, and I can't always make a wedding dress for others. I started checking domain names that day, looking for source codes online, and then asked colleagues to modify the program. Many short domain names were registered, and the client provided me with I made a suggestion to use www.jianzhuhr.cn . It is indeed a good domain name, easy to remember and meaningful. After a month of development, the website started to go online. I went to work during the day and maintained my website when I got home at night.
At the suggestion of a friend, I got to know admin5. I learned about website promotion from it and made many friends. I felt that I benefited a lot. When the website reached 100 IP, I started to put Google advertising code. When I saw that every day When I earn a few cents, I feel a special sense of accomplishment. After nearly a year of hard work, I received the US$118 sent by Google from the United States through the post office, which was converted into RMB 920. When I told this news, I was advised to do When I became a customer of the website, he was also very happy. He encouraged me to keep working hard and the days to come would be better and better.
July 10, 2010 was a good day for me, because I received an offer from a company to place an advertisement on my website for 2,500 yuan for one year. This was the first customer to place a one-year advertisement on my website since its establishment. advertising. In the past, there were occasional companies that launched for one month or three months, but never for one year at a time. When I found out that there was an extra 2,500 yuan on my bank card through the ATM machine, I cried happily again, and I cried loudly. The person behind me felt that I was strange. How did he know that I was there two years ago? The experience of being cheated and the hard work of maintaining the website in the past two years. As I write this, I can't help but shed tears again. I believe that grassroots webmasters will have a better tomorrow through their unremitting efforts.
