There are a large number of webmasters who work quietly in this world. They work hard from dawn to dusk and never give up hope. They are very pragmatic and determined. They may be you, they may be me, they are the epitome of every webmaster who is still on the road of struggle. Today is the first issue of Gao Liangjiu’s interview. I have interviewed several relatively well-known and representative webmasters before, but in the end I chose to put the interview with casual visitors in the first issue because he is the leader of every hard-working webmaster. In miniature, you may be able to find your shadow in him.
Passer-by, male, 23 years old, whose real name is Chen Xicai. I have operated Baidu Youah Shangmeng and QQ farm plug-in websites. I once became a leader in the industry, but unfortunately gave up due to various reasons. I then focused on researching SEO and currently operate a relatively niche lossless music website iifree. The Japanese IP has been Breaking through 8,000 may not be a big deal to many websites, but for the relatively small field of lossless music, this is already an excellent result. I hope the experience of this brother who is making great strides can touch and inspire you. Below is the transcript of the interview.
Gao Liangjiu: You just graduated from school. What made you choose to work in the Internet industry?
Passer-by: My website creation process can be said to be an accident, but also an inevitable one. I think this is fate! Previously, due to the operation of Baidu Youah's business alliance, I accidentally started researching websites, and finally decided to engage in this industry for a long time. I love it, I love it.
Gao Liangjiu: Please tell everyone about this experience in detail.
Passer-by: After graduation, I have always liked to participate in forums and the Internet, and I have a special liking for the Internet. In the second half of 2009, I came into contact with Taobao and Baidu. Many people may think that my turning point happened on Taobao. In fact, No, it’s on Baidu Youah. Like many novice sellers, I was very disappointed in Taobao, so I wanted to choose a platform suitable for my own development, so I came to Youah. Things are often such a coincidence. Youah only started in 2008. At that time, I was like many novice buyers. It is fragile and cannot retain people, but there is always a group of people who are persistent and waiting there. They always believe that someone will develop and grow like Taobao. I am one of them. Looking back now, I feel that it was quite stupid at that time!
Gao Liangjiu: Haha, you can’t say that. People are always growing and making progress, and their judgment of things is also constantly improving. Will the business alliance develop very poorly next?
Passer-by: Yes, it didn’t go very well. But I want to thank Youah for letting me get to know a group of people. When I came to Youah, Youah didn’t have its own official business alliance yet. They were all business alliances organized by individuals. The official did not support or oppose it. Occasionally, I would contact you. The business alliance is doing activities! Someone here has asked again, what does website building have to do with business alliances? It has a big relationship! At that time, there were three business alliances organized by individuals: Dingxin Business Alliance, Haoah Business Alliance, and Tianhong Business Alliance. So I established a blue business alliance, which was very well managed, had its own charter, and had its own management. The members include designers, have their own logos, and promotional posters, all of which are complete. As the business alliance develops, the relationship with other business alliances is getting better and better.
During this process, there was one person who influenced me, or changed me. He is the leader of Dingxin Business Alliance (who is full of energy). I won’t introduce much about this person. He has his own website, which is also owned by Baidu. He was born not long ago. , the first group of big brothers to come to Baidu Youah, and also the first to organize a personal business alliance! Mutual trust has allowed us to maintain a relationship that has lasted for more than a year, and it still remains the same today! At that time, we discussed that in order to develop and expand the business alliance, he suggested that I have my own website, so I negotiated with people in the business alliance to raise money, and raised a few hundred yuan to build a business alliance website. My first website or our , and this was how it was born.
Gao Liangjiu: You really entered the webmaster industry by accident, which is quite dramatic. This may be different from many webmasters. Some webmasters started making websites purely as a hobby in the early stage. After the business alliance failed, you used the website to save the business alliance. It is interesting.
Passer-by: The development of Business Alliance depends to a large extent on Baidu. It has never been able to develop. Some come and go, and there are frequent changes. The website of Business Alliance is not doing well and has not developed. I am very ashamed! The birth of another website of mine was also indispensable to him, and it is still alive today. At that time, there was a promotion for virtual host + CN domain name for only 10 yuan/year, and it was bound to the forum program. This is real. In mid-2009 At that time, a CN domain name was only one yuan, so I bought it and had my first website. Like many novice webmasters, I didn’t consider SEO, website planning, website strategy and other issues when building a website at first. I just used whatever I liked. Whatever you build, just post to promote and attract traffic. This is a common problem for most novice webmasters! The development of the website actually has a lot to do with the content. In just over a month, the number of members has grown to more than 10,000, and GG’s monthly income is more than 3,000 yuan, which gives me great confidence!
Gao Liangjiu: Yes, the reason why many webmasters are able to work hard for a long time is that they received certain material rewards in the early stage, and then discovered that there is a lot of potential in this industry.
Passer-by: Many people ask how it is done. The content I chose because of my preference was QQ-related content. I didn’t think much about it at the time. It only cost 10 yuan and I built a website to play around with it. I didn’t expect that it became so big that I couldn’t stop. At that time, I also accidentally discovered about a QQ farming assistant. The software relies on the keywords of this software, coupled with the familiarity with Baidu Youah and Baidu Space, to attract traffic, and the number of IPs in one day reaches more than 1,000. Haha, don’t underestimate these more than a thousand IPs, as long as you know how to farm Friends who use plug-ins understand its value. The daily income is basically between three and four figures. But at that time, I knew very little about space knowledge, and the traffic was getting bigger and bigger. I often had to upgrade the host. The number of virtual host connections was limited. The website could not be opened 1.2 times before I upgraded!
Gao Liangjiu: You should encounter many difficulties in the process of building a website, right? Have you ever thought about giving up?
Passer-by: The process of building a website is all about figuring it out step by step and communicating with others. When I don’t understand, I go to Baidu. The website feels like a bit of an achievement. It was he (with high spirits) who told me that if I want long-term traffic, I need to SEO, a word that had never appeared in my mind, gave me great curiosity, so I went online to learn about SEO, and communicated with him, which gave me a vague understanding of SEO, seowhy teacher Wu Wei said That’s right, you will thank the first person who told you about SEO, I am very grateful to him! Maybe many people think that my path is going smoothly, but it is not the case. At that time, I didn’t really put my mind on the website. I always hoped that Youah would be launched online and that Youah would develop quickly. But in the end, through various channels, I learned that , the most important purpose of opening Yes is not to develop C2C, but to improve Baidu’s stock price at that time. Robin Li also said that he will always focus on search engines. He was completely awakened at that time, but he never told the people in the business alliance about this, not wanting to give it to After a blow to everyone, the popularity of the business alliance was declining day by day. I had no choice but to quit!
Sometimes it’s strange, when good things come, good things will follow, and when bad things come, bad things will follow! At the beginning of this year, it happened that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology was rectifying the website. The service provider shut down the server. I still don’t know the reason. It must have been shut down for several months! In the past few months, I have been feeling very depressed, and I have the idea of giving up. I was still working in the company at the time, and I put my thoughts on Taobao. This person is like this, very strange, he always likes to find a safe haven! Because of my confidence in the future of e-commerce, I chose to quit my job and work on Taobao in the middle of this year. After 1.2 months, I was basically able to make a living. I never thought that the server would miraculously reopen, but at this time the website seemed to have leaked. I was so angry that I had no intention of posting anymore. I felt quite tired. The first thing I felt at that time was that it was not easy to build a website! Already ready to give up.
Gao Liangjiu: Then how did you start operating the website again and focus on SEO research?
Passer-by: I didn’t do much to take care of that website afterwards. I accidentally learned about the importance of SEO to the website and even to e-commerce. I learned about SEO everywhere, but the knowledge was all pieced together and very messy, so 8 In March, I made up my mind to conduct SEO system training. I am very grateful to Teacher Wu Wei! Some people think that they didn’t learn anything from Wu Wei, it’s just basic things. What I want to say is that the role of Wu Wei’s teacher is to summarize your messy SEO knowledge into a readable article, so You think it’s your own knowledge and you haven’t learned anything, but in fact you have learned it. Another more important thing is your connections! Why do we study? From elementary school to university, in addition to acquiring knowledge, it is actually a process of establishing a network of people. The same is true for training! 2.3 days before the training started, I revised my website, which is now the website. During the training period, through learning and practice, applying SEO knowledge, and communicating with several buddies in the same class, my website was For more than a month, the traffic volume has reached more than 8,000 IP addresses per day, which has been maintained until now. Sadly, I have been busy with other things recently and have not made any big breakthroughs.
Gao Liangjiu: In the past two years, what valuable experiences have you gained, or what improvements have you made in terms of thinking and knowledge? Let me share it with you.
Passer-by: There are many people I want to thank, but I want to thank a few buddies from the secret base who have given me motivation and guidance over the past few months! The key to building a website in the early days is persistence. Teacher Wu Wei said it well, execution! Everything depends on execution. Simple things will become difficult if they are not executed. Once complex things are executed, everything becomes so simple! Another point is that execution without direction is a waste of time and is equivalent to chronic suicide. My current goal is the goal set by Teacher Wu Wei, which is to achieve an annual salary of 30W within 2 years! I will add another sentence later: a big leap will be achieved in 5 years! No matter what the result is in 2 years, even if I can't achieve my goal, I believe that I will be a stand-up earner in the future and let the bullets fly further!
Gao Liangjiu: Send a few words to those fellow webmasters who are working tirelessly like you.
Passer-by: I have been using this passage to motivate myself, and I also send it to a friend who has been persevering! If there is a will, things will come true, even if the cauldron sinks the boat, a hundred and two Qin passes will eventually belong to Chu; if a person works hard, God will not let him down; if he sleeps on his salary and tastes his courage, three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu. Due to space and time limitations, there is a lot I want to say, but I have briefly mentioned it! The process of Taobao, the establishment of Baidu Youah Business Alliance, website traffic, website learning process, and communication with Shenzairang Feiyang are all briefly discussed.
