The first formal job after graduation - foreign trade website promotion. As an e-commerce graduate with CET-6, this should be a good choice. However, in the past year of work, I have suffered many setbacks. I wanted to give up countless times, but in the end I persisted, and now I finally have a glimmer of hope! Today I will share my experience and lessons with you. I hope Helpful for some SEO beginners.
1. Study with an empty cup mentality
Study with an empty cup mentality. This is what I most want to say to my friends who are new to social work. We are often easily imprisoned by past knowledge and experience, thinking that the work in front of us is not worth spending too much energy on. But this is not the case. We can choose many jobs, but each job requires us to continue learning and improving with an empty cup mentality. Only in this way can you achieve success. Don't be like me, thinking that you have professional advantages, you have experience in Taobao, you think you are great, and in the end you are poisoned by your so-called professional knowledge. So when we accept a new job, don’t think that no matter how good your skills are or how rich your experience is, it’s all just a cloud. If you have the ability, you can “show your true skills through real skills” at work.
2. SEO = thinking + diligence
Many beginners in online promotion mistakenly believe that SEO means desperately sending out a lot of external links, so that the website ranking will go up and orders will come! Let me tell you responsibly based on my failure experience over the past year, don’t dream! SEO is not simple. Copying and pasting requires thinking and efficient execution. The difference between IT migrant workers and IT elites is that one uses their hands and the other uses their brains. The effects of the two are also worlds apart. When I started to get involved with SEO, I followed the resources sent to me by my supervisor every day and worked hard to send out external links. I ignored them and continued to send them when new resources came tomorrow. Every day I feel that I am almost suffocating with my work, and I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the task. Later, the task was completed every day, but the boss said, "Why are there no orders yet?" I was speechless. This is called thankless work. We must not let SEO turn us into robots. Instead, we should regard the work of SEO as a robot, learn to discover the characteristics and laws of development, and work hard to conquer it.
3. Persistence is victory
How can you live a life without traffic and orders? Resign. To be honest, have you ever been so unable to hold on? I admit that I have, but I am unwilling to do so. When I look at the sites I optimize and promote, I feel like my "children". The "children" haven't grown up yet, so how can I give up on it? The site I was responsible for optimizing was the first site that was ranked on Google's homepage for more than a month. , there was no order, and later it was discovered that there was a problem with the program. After there was no problem with the program, the home page was complained by DMCA, and the first site died like this; I copied a new site for promotion, but within a month there was no DMCA again, so I copied another site. The site was DMCAed again two months later. I have seen unlucky people, but I have never seen anyone as unlucky as me, but I still persevered, and I resigned myself to death. I wanted to raise a "child", and now my "child" is slowly growing up.
4. Ask more advice from seniors
As the saying goes: "Forefathers plant trees for future generations to enjoy the shade." SEO is not something that only one or two of us can do. The experience summaries of so many predecessors cannot just be left to dust. Don't feel that you are inferior to others if you ask for advice. We are doing SEO standing on the shoulders of giants. Of course, you will also encounter some giants who ignore you. Don't be discouraged. Liu Bei even visited the thatched cottage to invite Zhuge Liang, not to mention that we don't have to go to the deep mountains and old forests to invite him? You have to think about how many detours their advice can make you take. It's worth it. Got it!
The four points of experience summarized above were gained through countless setbacks and failures over the past year. I hope it will be helpful to newcomers to SEO in the future.
