After resigning from the company at the end of 2007, I started to step into the road of personal webmaster. Think about it, it has been 3 years now. I say that doing a website is not as good as working part-time. I don’t want to dampen the enthusiasm of some newcomers here, but as an experienced veteran Bird, I still want to remind everyone: the road to being a webmaster is not easy, and you need to persevere. What is the driving force for you to persevere? Is it interest or a whim? Is it motivated by making money or just want to have a website? This You must think of one thing before making a website, otherwise it is better to give up this idea.
The website really started to make money at the beginning of this year. The income is not very stable. Here I will announce the income and expenses of my website for a month, but don’t think that I am here to show the income. When you understand the ups and downs, just I don’t think so anymore.
Many people think that the profession of webmaster is very enviable, and they are always labeled as IT elites and high-tech talents. In fact, like "Shagen", we raise a cow, hoping that when the cow grows up, we can sell it, get a wife, and start a family, that's all. Although the forms are different, we, like "Shagen", are still cultivating, working, and pursuing our own future. The website "My Consumables" mainly sells printing ink consumable products, so I chose a short and easy-to-remember domain name: www.wdhc.cn. In the early stage, we mainly focused on the construction of the backend of the website, and gradually launched the complete functions online. In fact, the actual promotion time is 2 years. Income has only picked up this year. For example, last month, the average daily orders were 8, most of which were small orders. The average daily revenue was about 1,000-1,200. After excluding costs, the net profit was more than 500-600. After one month, 500*30=15,000. Although there is a slight discrepancy here, it is possible to earn more than 10,000 a month. This sounds very glorious, and it seems that the aura of victory has been cast over my head.
But this is not actually the case. I still have to be busy with the operation of the website every day and worry about money. The mortgage payment for a 90-square-meter house has already cost 5,000, and my father helped pay the down payment. My girlfriend’s parents, who are already talking about marriage, want me to have a car, because in their eyes, I am already a “boss”. Although the house is still there and has not been renovated. My girlfriend's current job is very unstable. She only works for 1-2 months and then quits due to various reasons. In fact, she doesn't expect her income of 2,000 to 3,000 yuan to bring any help. But the two of them still spend a lot of money together. The rent is 1,500 per month (the house has not been renovated and they have not moved in), and the food is 800 per month. Most of the time they eat out, and they have to buy clothes and shoes for their girlfriend. , living water and electricity, and rarely go out to watch movies. They are all at home. Sometimes I don’t even have time to watch movies.
My own expenses probably only include smoking and buying less clothes. The leased independent server (8000/year) will soon expire. There is still a shortage of manpower. At present, there is only one good brother who is responsible for logistics issues. It is inevitable to pay about 1,500 per month. I always feel that it is not enough for others. Nowadays, the monthly funds are very tight. I always feel that I am walking on the edge of a cliff. I am very nervous. I often think during the day or night: If the website visits are gone, the order volume is gone, and the website advertising revenue is in trouble, then what will happen? What does this mean??! This also reminds me of the days when I worked in a company! I always feel that it is easier to work for others.
