There are several important key words here: personal, time, energy, money, and profit.
The mentality of doing this project:
In developed cities, it is basically a corporate operation, and the model is very mature. It is still possible for individuals to do this project. If you want to make money and do something, you must be dedicated and practical.
Because we are personal webmasters, we mainly use the website to make money. You can say that you can just open an intermediary company directly. If you can do that, it will be better to go to the next level, unless you have that ability.
Simple profit model:
1. Advertising revenue
If the website is not well-known and has no time accumulation, it will be difficult to easily obtain advertising revenue. If you wait, there will be consultation calls, but in the end the money received will not be much, except for one thing, strong business ability, the money will come out. .
2. Agency income
This is easy to understand. It’s the same as the second-hand housing agency model all over the street. Build your own platform and get Baidu rankings. Even if the owners don’t accept your website, as long as you help them make money, you will get what you deserve. That portion.
Investment of time, energy and money:
First: The time for potential customer consultation is very uncertain
You may receive consultation calls from 7 a.m. to 23 p.m. If you are an office worker, this is not so convenient, because when a customer inquires, you cannot remember all the details of the agent information clearly. You can only briefly understand the situation and then return to the customer for a return visit, but this is very unprofessional. , in short, it is impossible to do this without a free environment. If your boss finds out, you may be fired.
Whether you are working in advertising or agency, you need to go out for services. At this time, you have to ask for leave, because it is impossible for everyone to wait until the weekend. It’s okay to say advertising. If you are an agent, whether you pay so much first or not is a matter later. This process of tracking return visits also requires time and energy.
Second: The content of the website requires a lot of time and effort.
There are two forms of information, one is daily updated information, and the other is the most valuable information. The information to be updated in this kind of project will not be as much as other websites, because there are only so many real resources, so daily The update won't be too big, and it won't take too much time.
But if you want to make money, you must have valuable information. This kind of information must be carried out on-site inspections and recorded in detail, which is the information about your advertisers or agency clients, because this information can give you the maximum benefits for your agency. Sometimes it takes a whole morning to travel 30 to 40 kilometers to find an advertiser or agency client, because not everyone accepts your business.
If you want to develop in the long term, this work is a long-term process that requires a lot of time and energy. If you want to play around and reap the benefits, you can still earn domain name fees and space fees.
Third: The more formal you want, the more money you need to invest.
If you are serious about doing this, you have to receive customers, right? Do you want to run a business?
This requires investment in offices and office supplies. It is impossible to talk about customers on the street. You must know that both sides of this business are boss-level figures. Transportation is also very important, because it directly determines efficiency. You can take someone else's car when you go out with customers, but if you usually run your own business, you need at least one person who drinks oil. The scope cannot be too limited, and the resources are too limited, because the factories are scattered. , the number is still small, and there are even fewer intended customers.
Fourth: Be sure to “follow”
Before we serve, we are uncles; after we serve, we are grandsons. It may take a long time to successfully get a customer, some may be a week, some may take several months. Before they close the deal, we must ensure that they are not abandoned, so we must sign the relevant procedures and must You have a sound business model and you have to "follow" it, otherwise all the previous services will be in vain.
You must have your own "set"
Everyone's area is different, so the degree of difficulty in doing business is different. For example, in the city where the author is located, there are certain difficulties because the owners are all old men. The author only found the solution after groping for a long time. After formulating plans for different customers, we must let them contribute to their own growth, cherish every customer, and not waste every opportunity.
Summary: I have been working on this project for the third year now. In any case, I have persevered. I have been blind and confused in the process, and I have also worked in other units halfway. During this period, I have not paid as much as mentioned in the article. That way, I didn’t make much money, but now that I understand, I dare to invest and take the plunge, because the profit cycle of this project is usually relatively long. You have to stay alive during this process, and nothing will be gained by giving up halfway or stagnating. Yes, the above are all practical experiences I have summarized after running my own business.
