I started building a website more than two years ago, and it was established on Webmaster.com. Although I am not successful yet, I am still working on several websites that are struggling to survive. I also wrote a lot of soft articles here back then. Some people can’t tell me how long it took me to finish playing. But two years later, it seems that those comrades from back then can’t be found. I, the 809th generation (previous name), am still alive. Nowadays, it is popular to be low-key, but For the sake of the new website, I am writing to share some experience. The experience here is real experience.
In the past, a soft article suddenly appeared on the Internet. It was just about how much monthly income you can make from a website. It was very tempting. However, now more and more people have become rational after seeing this kind of article, because this method is not easy to use. So for a while, many webmasters who were confused and couldn't find projects flocked to start this kind of local industry information website. I was one of them. As for what the project was, I won't mention it. It's sad. I just started making one. At that time, I foolishly thought that since I occupied a territory, I would make a few more websites like this to occupy the territory in other areas. It didn’t take long before I built this website in 4 cities and 3 in the local area. .
Let’s talk about how those from other places died. At that time, I checked on Baidu which city was bigger and which city didn’t exist, so I chose two cities in the province and Harbin. In the later process, I thought that just sitting and waiting for money would be enough. I can call through bank cards, the rankings are also there, and the website users themselves also send messages. Because it is a local website, sometimes several users call to inquire about related business. I can’t tell which city the call comes from. They were all confused and didn't know the names of the places mentioned in the conversation. People wanted to meet and talk in detail, but they just heard it was so far away. Some even thought he was a liar. As for advertising, there is no such thing. How can a local website make money if it has no influence? Advertising must also be done through actual business, especially local industry information stations, which are waiting for them. It’s been almost a year since I realized this, and two of them, including the domain name and space, were not renewed. One of them was sold to a webmaster in that area at a low price. What’s funny is that the webmaster in Guangdong made it in Beijing. Once the website is ranked, it will be sold for tens of thousands of dollars. Needless to say, only fools will buy it, and no one will know about it in the end.
Let’s talk about the three local websites. They all have the same theme. At that time, they wanted to win by dominating the search engines, because users were unwilling to pay for the No. 1 website. In this case, users would not send messages. If so, There is no money to be made, and there are no users, so they go to the second-ranked website to send information, so that I can transfer the information to the first-ranked website. At least the website must have some information, otherwise it would still be called a website. There is also a third website. After a period of operation, this approach is completely wrong. Why?
My realization is just one sentence:
Chinese netizens or website users never want to spend money when there are free options. What they can pay for must be unique services or useful platforms that they recognize.
That is to say, they will not give you money just because you are ranked first in Baidu. They can choose the second ranked one for free. What they are willing to spend is if you provide them with services that have a certain effect and they recognize it, or if everyone says that your website is good and useful, and you have a certain brand and influence in a place, they will also be willing to give you money. , even if it ranks second, just like Baidu and Google in China. Moreover, they need someone to serve them, they need to meet, and they need to discuss business. There is no way to just sit and wait for money to go into the bank card, unless everyone knows it like Baidu, the business will be easy to do.
As for the final result of the three local websites, one is closed and two are still open. One of them points to another major website. After all, maintaining the domain name will have a certain weight in any website you build in the future.
In fact, many webmasters who run local websites are still making this mistake. They seize one project and do several, thinking that they can win by occupying the attention of netizens. They have no idea what it really means to build a local website. Of course, there are People's mentality is just to play, and they have no idea of making it in their hearts. This is a different matter. Most of them will be there in the later stage and have no time to update.
Running a local website is really just like doing traditional business, it’s very difficult. I won’t say much more. My new member of the local website group, Weifang Second-hand Car Network www.wf2sc.net, please keep the website address when reprinting, respect intellectual property rights, and leave a final sentence, grassroots webmaster, success is ours, failure is ours, live a happy life!
