The reason why I thought of writing this today is to give a brief summary of my two years of building a website. I also hope that this will help new webmasters avoid detours. I hope it will be helpful to you. Take it as a warning!
Let’s get straight to the point:
Experience of being cheated:
I built my first website around August 2008. I remember when I first started building the website, I would always find some free source codes on the Internet, and modify them by myself even if it was finished. I always followed the traffic route, but later I found that I was not familiar with it. The promotion of the website was really not working, so I gave up the traffic route. At that time, I bought a domain name 0245.cn that I thought was very suitable for a local website. 024 is the Shenyang area code, 5 means "network", and 0245 can mean Shenyang network, so I wanted to seriously build a local website and rely on local resources, and finally decided to build a local classified information network (actually the predecessor of the current "Shenyang Business Network"). Therefore, when I decided to spend money to buy source code for the first time, I looked for good source code everywhere and chose it. I chose the source code of "Xu Lin Information Network" (here I will use "X", no To be specific, I believe everyone who knows the source code market knows what it is) The price is not expensive, 240 yuan. I won’t go into other details. Let’s talk about the places where I was deceived. The most serious thing is the after-sales service. Before buying the source code, I was so enthusiastic like I am a pig in heat. After buying the source code, I will treat you like a fool and disappear completely. I will not bother you at all. I will never reply to you regarding source code installation, modification and other technical issues. I have no choice but to modify the source code myself. After modification, in the end, The funny thing is that he also used the website I built as a model project, and spread it everywhere, saying that this website was his source code and how well it was done (I changed some of the homepage art and layout according to my own ideas), but in the end it turned out that Duoren added me on QQ to ask me some program questions, and these customers generally felt deceived because of their poor programming skills and after-sales problems. He never replied or gave me any help! It seems that I am not the only one who explains this. There is something wrong with people's character! It's easy to deal with it without customer service. I can solve it myself. But in the end, the main reason why I had to give up this website was spam. This website couldn't prevent the mass-sending machines at that time, and there were piles of spam. It takes me half a day to delete messages every day! I have to give them up and my efforts are in vain!
Summary: Don’t completely believe the seller’s promises at the time, and don’t buy this type of program from a personal software developer, as the after-sales service won’t be able to keep up with your needs!
Experience two of being cheated:
Once, I don’t remember where I saw an advertisement “The most suitable part-time job for white-collar workers, easily earn 100 yuan a day.” You only need to register a 139 email address to receive the part-time tasks distributed. I don’t know how I got it that day. I was stupid. I registered a 139 email address with my mobile phone, but after replying to the first text message, I discovered the problem and found out that I had been cheated. And I was very happy at the time because I had been online for so long. Such mistakes are rare in time.
In fact, everyone probably knows this by now. This is a CPA scam. He deceives people into registering a 139 email address, and he earns a commission of 1 yuan. Yes, he just defrauded you of 1 yuan, but I believe his income at that time was quite a lot!
Summary: Don’t be tempted to make money! You are always attracted by those who earn hundreds or hundreds of dollars a day. As we all know, all such temptations are unrealistic. There is no such thing as pie in the sky or getting something for nothing in the world. You can really earn as much as you want every day. Yes, there must be! But it is definitely not as simple as their advertisement claims!
However, I feel that the value I got from this experience of being cheated is much greater than 1 yuan, because I learned the method. Of course, I did not cheat people, haha, it is just this model, the CPA online earning model.
Three experiences of being deceived:
My idea of building a website has returned to the local website again, and I plan to continue to build my "Shenyang Merchant Network" to realize my idea. Based on the last summary, I did not find a program developed by someone. I just looked at it in a pinned post on A5. I came to a "local franchise station model". His operating ideas and ideas were very close to mine. Moreover, there was only one franchise in a city, and it was developed by a seemingly formal studio team. The sustainability was very good, and I started it that day. I consulted on QQ, and they called me on the same day to communicate in detail about the operation of the website. They talked about it in great detail, and I was very excited. I felt that this was the website I was looking for. I remember that they charged 2,600 yuan as a franchise fee. !For a program, it’s not that small! It’s also the first time for me to buy such an expensive program online! However, I feel that the business model is okay, and the website development is sustainable, so I decided to join! The franchise station in Shenyang was officially named "Shenyang Merchant Network". At the same time, I purchased a space for more than 200 yuan. Later, I joined the official user QQ group and studied how to operate the website with a group of young people who have the same dreams as me. , planning to start a career! At the same time, we also learned that the source code of this program is not open source, and requires online certification! In other words, as long as their server is crossed, our program may not be usable. At that time, everyone also had this concern, But it can be seen that the team at that time still had some ideas, and they were also studying with everyone how to operate it, because they themselves were also operating a regional website. But after more than 2 months passed, as you may have guessed, the official website gradually became silent and stopped updating anything. The administrator of the QQ group was always invisible, and no one answered messages or answered calls. , and after a while, the website could no longer be accessed. Everyone had to admit that they ran away. Run away with our ideals and their failures! Our money, our programs, our data, and our efforts are all in vain.
Summary: This kind of program without signing any agreement on the Internet is still unreliable. Maybe their original intention was not to deceive people, but also to make some achievements, but in the end their failure and choice to run away deceived all their users! But we Users are always the weak party. The wealth I gained from this experience is a group of friends in the QQ group who share the same dream. We shared and communicated with each other and learned a lot from each other.
Okay, let’s stop talking about this first. It’s too long. Webmasters, I’m tired of reading this. Haha, the Internet is so big, scammers are everywhere, and it’s always hard to guard against it. But as long as everyone pays more attention and polishes yours. Eyes, with a non-greedy mentality, I believe that everyone will not let scammers succeed. I also hope that novice webmasters will step out of their own ideals. I wish you success!
