I never thought that I would enter SEO, an industry that is unknown to most people. I thought that when I returned to Qingdao after leaving a state-owned enterprise, I would find a regular large unit or TV station to work as a reporter or editor, but it backfired. , I became a SEOer, started the Internet, and started a job specifically to help companies or individuals provide online marketing and promotion. Today, especially in the eyes of my peers, although many people disdain the work I do. At first glance, doing SEO is quite fun for me. The important thing is that doing SEO gives me a sense of accomplishment. At least now I work for myself and make twice as much money as before. In fact, for being able to embark on this path today, I should thank my first client for her trust and support in me.
On New Year's Day of 2008, I left the state-owned enterprise where I had worked for three years (an old state-owned enterprise with a history of 55 years, 20,000 employees, and 100,000 employees' families) and happily returned to my hometown of Qingdao. After I came back, I first went to a relatively powerful local wedding company to do wedding photography and video editing. After working for eight months, I couldn't hold on any longer, so I resigned. The reason for my resignation was that the work here was too trivial, and it was not the boss's original job. What I mean by videography is videography. Sometimes the company is short of manpower and is often asked to arrange weddings. We work from morning to night. Sometimes there are large weddings and we have to stay up all night and have to be busy. It is not ordinary tired. People say that no matter how much effort you put in, you can achieve it. What a return, but that's not the case here. The boss smiles all day long and talks about raising wages, but when it comes time to pay wages, he always finds faults and deducts points here and there. So I really couldn't work for such a boss, so I resigned directly. After leaving here, I went to a factory about 20 minutes’ walk from my home. The boss here is over 60 years old. The company has transitioned from a state-owned enterprise to a private enterprise. The boss pays special attention to the promotion of corporate culture, and my job I am responsible for the corporate culture work in the factory, editing the factory magazine and newspaper, and writing articles such as speeches for the boss when he goes out to attend some exchange meetings. Because what I did before in a state-owned enterprise was corporate publicity work, I am very familiar with this kind of work. It’s easy to get started. It should be said that he did a good job and was recognized by the boss. But the boss is the boss, especially a boss at his age. Money is more important than anyone else. Because the salary is low, I talked to him several times, and he always said He said he would get a raise, but he kept dragging you every time without seeing a raise, which made me very suspicious of his integrity. So, I had no time to waste time with him, so I resigned without a salary increase. The third time, I was invited by a friend to help with outdoor LED video advertising, and I was fully responsible for the video production there. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After working for more than two months, it was almost the Chinese New Year, and his father ordered not to do it. He said he was worried about the negative impact, because his father was a bureau chief in the city, and he was always worried that his official position would be affected by doing something complicated. Although my friend didn’t say so clearly, that’s what he meant, so he treated us as if we were doing a lot of things. In good times the project died.
After a year of hard work and three unexpected changes, things never went well and I didn't make much money this year. After the New Year, my family insists on telling me fortunes. Originally, I have never been superstitious about this, but I always felt that things were not going well in 2009, especially when I helped my cousin buy a 42-inch LCD TV from a friend. It was a coincidence. The TV I bought broke after just two hours of watching it. After-sales service came to repair it, but I didn’t even know what the fault was. After struggling for more than ten days, the TV was finally returned. Although the TV I bought was not fake and was returned normally, It also took a lot of time, and a lot of manpower and material resources were wasted. Finally, the fortune teller said that everything I did in 2009 was not going well, and things will start to change in 2010, but I should not do anything big or make big investments. I believe this prediction. Looking at it now, 10 years is generally okay, so in the future, for fortune telling , "I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist." No wonder those rich people and big bosses go to fortune-telling when their careers are not going well. They believe this the most.
During the Chinese New Year in 2009, I began to plan what kind of job I would do in 2010, and began to worry about work in advance. I always felt that I had many abilities, but I just couldn’t put them to use. I knew how to do TV photography, text editing, film and television production, etc. Computer repair... But even so, I feel that there is no suitable job for me in this city. Qingdao is a city with a reputation for high consumption and low income. My ideal job is to find a relatively stable company responsible for corporate culture promotion. For a job, I don’t ask for a high salary, at least the work should not be too tiring, the work should be comfortable, and it should be stable, but even such requirements cannot be met. So one day during the Chinese New Year, I suddenly thought of the Internet. Maybe the Internet could change my life, and I inadvertently broke into making money online. So, I told my family that I wanted to start a business online and not go to work. I wanted to work for myself. At first, my family thought I was joking and didn’t approve of me staying at home, because we all think that people surf the Internet every day. Children are not good children. They just play games and chat online. This is the prejudice against the Internet in many rural areas and even small cities. They always think that the Internet will teach bad people. They never thought that knowledge can be learned online and money can be made online. So I bought some information on how to make money online from Taobao and read it. After reading it, I felt very excited. The more I read, the more I realized that my choice was the right one. I can definitely seek better development online.
So, I tried all kinds of jobs to make money online, but few of them were really able to make stable money. At first, I couldn't make a stable monthly income, and it was difficult to even make an electricity bill. Later, I accidentally discovered a piece of software, and then I started selling this software to make money. From this software, I gradually started to earn a steady income, earning up to 500 yuan a day. Since then, I have met many customers who buy software, and some of them have become friends. One of our local customers asked me if I could help her promote it. I said give it a try because I was unsure at the time and was afraid that the promotion would not be good. But in the first month, the customer said that the promotion was effective, and then the first She gave me 300 yuan a month, and from then on, the promotion for her became better and better. Her monthly gross income increased from 10,000 yuan at the beginning to hundreds of thousands now. After more than half a year, She gave me a promotion fee of 600 yuan a month. This promotion fee was raised by the client without any request from me. The trust of customers increased my confidence. Around that time, I started to take orders specifically. I thought, wouldn’t it be possible to ensure a stable income by taking on a few more long-term and stable customers? I first opened a Taobao store. , I took on this kind of business on Taobao, and gradually in the process of promotion, I realized that everything I did was actually the so-called SEO. My specialty was my own original creation. I would write some promotional soft articles when I had nothing to do. The soft articles I wrote I am often on Baidu’s homepage. At the same time, I focused on the study and research of SEO. Every day I went to A5, chinaz and other webmasters to read everyone’s articles online. With my long-term practice and experience, I gradually understood the basics of SEO. Methods and Techniques. From then on, I began to work professionally on SEO.
Therefore, it is the customer's trust in me that gives me a lot of motivation and confidence. If it weren't for this customer, I might still be free from the Internet today, because there are few other online part-time jobs that can be done stably in the long term. It will go on, but SEO can still be done for at least a few years. I want to thank my client for letting me accidentally enter the interesting and fresh industry of SEO. Although it is boring now, I feel full of accomplishment. Especially when I see that my website ranks first and surpasses my competitors, I am very happy. I am happy that my level has improved again, and I am happy that this website is really making money. I originally wanted to have a brief chat, but it ended up being so long-winded. It was very hard for everyone to watch, so I’m sorry.
