It may make some successful webmasters laugh when I say it. It has been more than three years since I joined the "website building" business. However, building a website has not been smooth sailing for me. On the contrary, this journey has made me Full of bitterness. Websites have been blocked, people have been punished, I have been deceived online, and website data has been lost. I have experienced all these, but I persevered in the end, because from the first day of setting up the website, I have identified this. It's my hobby, and I can do it for website building. Qu Yuan said, "Even if I die nine times, I still have no regrets." Of course, I have thought about why I am so unlucky, but looking back now, I would like to thank the experiences of the past three years. These bitter experiences have not only tempered my will, but also allowed me to accumulate more and more lessons in all aspects of website development. and experience, these are irreplaceable assets. In the past three years, A5 has given me a lot of support and help. I learned from here and communicated here. Today I also use this place to share my experience and lessons with you.
Let’s start with lessons first, and then talk about experience. After all, lessons are all teachers, and they have the most direct and profound help for our growth. I have gained these lessons with my own personal experience. I hope that future webmasters will not If you make similar mistakes again, I believe that everyone can learn from the experience and it can be inspiring or helpful for your own website building.
Lesson 1: The first thing to do when doing a website is to focus on principles and don’t struggle with policies.
Websites were blocked and people were punished. I clearly remember what happened during the so-called Internet crackdown in 2008, because following other webmasters I knew, I joined the ranks of creating sideline websites in order to make quick money. However, we all know that real sideline websites cannot fully control the exact size, so they often engage in deviant behavior, which will also bring more traffic to the website, leading to taking risks out of luck. Little do they know that when faced with policies In times of pressure, marginal websites, websites involving copyrights, websites involving banned novels, etc. are in danger of being used to try the law at any time. Therefore, I strongly appeal to webmasters not to build such websites easily and cannot comply with the policy. The most likely outcome will be a loss of both people and money.
Lesson 2: The process of building a website is all about execution, and don’t develop bad habits.
There is a saying that goes: "Good execution is half the battle." What I did was exactly the opposite. On the one hand, I made the mistake of "changing my ideas and changing my orders at night". Not long after the original ideas and goals were implemented, I chose to make a big change immediately because new ideas appeared, and changed the previous ones. Overthrowing the set goals and starting over again resulted in a waste of time and energy and achieved nothing; on the other hand, in the process of operating the website, the problem of "three days of fishing and two days of drying the net" was committed. The passion gradually faded, and I began to indulge in laziness. I no longer worked hard to update the website, and no longer promoted the website relentlessly. This directly resulted in the website that had just achieved results being lost in various aspects due to my laziness. Indicators are declining, making it difficult to ultimately succeed.
Lessons are lessons taught to me from various aspects on the way to making a website. It allowed me to wake up in time when I was on the wrong road and regard past mistakes as a reminder for the future. Relying on these reminders, I gradually became more and more successful in the process of making a website. After finding the way, the road to becoming a station finally began to go smoother and smoother, and I achieved some successes, in which I gradually accumulated some experience.
Experience 1: To build a professional website, you must have the spirit and strategy of “one road to the darkest”.
After going through the blind stage of building a website in the early days, and constantly changing website themes, and the failure caused by just thinking about being big and seeking perfection, I began to put away my impetuous heart and focus on professional websites. Based on the fields I know and my personal expertise, I decided to start with the industry website, using rich and practical resources as the core to attract users, and use uninterrupted soft articles and interactive promotions on selected promotion platforms to promote the website. With these two points, my professional website has attracted a considerable number of users in a short period of time, and with increasingly abundant and practical resources, the stickiness of the website has been further enhanced, providing a good foundation for revenue conversion. , relying on affiliate advertising and agency recruitment advertising, I finally began to taste the sweetness of building a website.
Lesson 2: Choose a profit model clearly and avoid being deceived.
Whether in the early or late stages of building a website, the issue that webmasters need to face and consider is how to make money with the help of the website. When I gradually figured out some tricks, the first thing that came to my mind was to put affiliate ads on the website. One was to use it to make money, and the other was to make the website more beautiful and enrich the website interface. For affiliate advertising, you need to frequently use search engines or communicate on A5 to gain knowledge and understanding of a certain alliance to prevent accidentally joining some alliances with poor reputation and causing you to work for others in vain. In addition, combined with the theme of the website, we actively go out to obtain advertisements from some relevant merchants. Using the education category, we can obtain advertisements from highly relevant merchants such as enrollment agencies, book sales, and certification tutoring. Although it will be a bit harder, the benefits gained will be great. More impressive. No matter what method is used, the webmaster needs to have a basic and clear understanding of the profit model, so that he can be targeted.
Experience three: Take the initiative to go out and communicate with more webmasters to learn and make continuous progress.
Building a website cannot be said to be just a technical job. In addition to the basic technical requirements, it also requires the webmaster's operational philosophy, mental thinking, and communication and learning abilities. In addition to the website operation experience that he has explored, More importantly, you need to communicate more with other webmasters, constantly gain new knowledge through communication, and constantly improve yourself. In this regard, you can participate in local webmaster gatherings and exchange activities organized by various webmaster websites, such as the webmaster conference held by A5 every year and the webmaster gatherings from various places. If conditions permit, try to participate as much as possible, so that you can get to know more people. While webmasters work with friends, they can expand their knowledge through communication and provide more new ideas for website operation, which will make your website development path wider.
