“It’s so tiring to do the same thing over and over again every day!” A webmaster friend left a message on my blog. I believe this must also be the sentiment of many webmasters and SEOERs.
Doing the same thing over and over again every day is so tiring
I think this is the main reason why many SEOERs and webmasters (myself included) are currently studying less and less SEO business, and SEO blog updates are getting slower and slower. In the face of cruel competition, the original passion The fighting spirit has completely disappeared. Everything that should be researched and written seems to have been researched and written, and there is nothing left to research or write. Indeed, one day is all about the website’s original content, external links, anchor text, search engine inclusion volume, and keyword rankings. “I don’t listen to anything outside the window and focus on the computer.” However, keyword rankings, traffic, and conversion rates are not. There is no improvement at all, and the distance from my ideal success is not only not narrowed, but even further away. Such repetitive work is really boring and boring.
Such mechanical labor with no end in sight, "Where is the return journey? A long pavilion becomes a shorter pavilion" is simply devastating to SEOER's enthusiasm and self-confidence. Some friends simply chose "the sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore." And most people keep cheering to themselves every day and say: "Persistence, persistence is victory", but their voices are getting lower and lower, and they are no longer as energetic as they were at the beginning. No wonder a friend said: "The fewer repetitive mechanical labor components, the more valuable the occupation." But then again, where can you find such a "valuable" career? In fact, any career no matter how glorious it is is boring and repetitive. For example, singers don't know the weather in spring, summer, autumn and winter and don't get up to sing their voices; For example, Mingyue and Sasu spent one day digging into piles of yellowed historical papers to read hard, and then mechanically coded words like typewriters.
In fact, any occupation is boring and repetitive labor (Internet picture)
From this point of view, any career (or profession) is without exception mechanical labor. It is not that a certain profession makes people more valuable. It is just that those who are successful not only use their heart, but also use their own unique operating ideas to make themselves more valuable. Fully enjoy what you do, and persist in doing it in such a very enjoyable way. Over time, you will be accepted and recognized by everyone.
In fact, many valuable things in life are repetitive - only through repetition day after day can we truly see the value of this thing. For example, a love story in which two people hope to stay together forever, or the tireless pursuit of a career - in such repetitions, we are not not tired, but "happily tired and happy."
From this point of view, whether it is website operation work or SEO work, if you want to succeed, that kind of mechanical repetitive work is inevitable. The famous scholar Zhou Guoping once said: If you want to succeed in any career, you cannot succeed without interest, but interest alone is not enough, and you must persist with willpower. The key is, in such boring mechanical labor, how can we rediscover the original excitement about SEO and website operation, and continue to discover new fun from boring work, not only persist in it, but also keep doing it in the future? Only by constantly enjoying this kind of fun and enjoying this kind of mechanical repetitive work can we truly persevere and finally enjoy the results of victory.
Indeed, with the development of the Internet today, website operation is no longer a mysterious high-tech. It is nothing more than the continuous and regular addition of unique and original content to the website, online promotion and offline promotion including SEO. Among them, SEO has gradually become It is just a technical means that website operators must master. Not only is it not new, but the competition is extremely fierce and the hope of success is very slim.
But as the saying goes, "Everyone has his own way of killing a pig, his head or his butt." The same technical means, due to the user's different attitude and work ideas, the final results are very different - for example, during the Liberation War, it was called " The 60th Army of the Yunnan Army, known as the "60 Bears", during the Korean War, most of its personnel were still the same as before, but it was completely transformed and transformed into the "50th Army" with outstanding military exploits, including encircling and annihilating the British Royal Heavy Tank Battalion and fighting bloody battles on the Han River.
The key lies in the attitude of doing things and the idea of using technical methods. We cannot "just bury our heads in pulling the car and ignore the road." Such an approach that simply emphasizes speed will not only make us faster. What is even more dangerous is that in the daily repetitive mechanical work, our own self-confidence will also be exhausted - you know, people's self-confidence also needs to be nourished by success; let alone what is in the daily work of SEO Found my own fun. This kind of persistence is, at best, hard work, but at worst, it means living a life irresponsible to oneself. In the end, you will definitely not be able to persist, let alone the success in your dreams, just waiting for "Sister Lin to fall from the sky." , hit yourself on the head.
In short, although the current Internet development situation is increasingly unfavorable to grassroots webmasters and SEOER, the only thing that will really lead us to failure is ourselves - those who do not set website development goals based on the actual situation of the website and do not combine their own advantages and expertise. Simplified SEO and website operation methods that are not down-to-earth and only emphasize speed and results have ruined us. As an old saying goes, "A rat blocks its own way." ZAC said it well: "There are few truly saturated industries. For example, there are too many restaurants on the street. Are they saturated? Those who make really delicious food can still succeed, even if they are new. The same goes for SEO." .
The key is that we must get out of the original extensive SEO thinking, start with website positioning, rethink our own website operation ideas (SEO ideas), and continue to find the joy of work from it. Only then can we finally truly find the website that belongs to us. Our own road to success of being "tired and happy" (This article was originally published by gouyn12. All rights reserved.
