Disclaimer: This article is just a summary of my experience in running a game station over the years. I hope you will point out anything wrong!
How does a game station make money?
How to make more money with GameStop?
Still the same sentence.
The way to make money is to be diligent.
Not all game stations make money.
First let’s talk about the equipment:
It won’t be too much of a problem to find a better virtual host for a game station with 0-2000 IP, and you can earn about 200 yuan a month.
5000-10000ip, in line with the principle of not wasting, there will be no problem if you rent it together with 10 people. There are many admin5s, and there is no problem in making thousands of dollars a month.
For IPs above 10,000, it is recommended that you rent a cheaper host. If the operation is good, you can make tens of thousands a month without any problem.
Let’s talk about the profits that everyone is most concerned about:
1: Private servers and plug-in websites have always been hugely profitable. I won’t comment on private servers because I have never used them. In the plug-in category, you usually sell plug-ins for a fee, and ads are bound to the plug-ins to make money twice. If you are awesome, you can develop your own software, and then use the software as the core to build a game guild or something, and make more money, needless to say.
2: Newbies usually build a lot of game-themed websites because they see the popularity of a certain game. My suggestion is not to build a game website specifically for game themes. After all, only a small number of personal game websites can occupy the homepage. You can’t occupy it. Home page, if you want to make money, it is also difficult. There are too many big game sites, they have higher weight than you, were built earlier than you, and have more external connections than you. How can you play with them? If you are lucky, you can usually stay on the home page for no more than half a year, and then your fate will be downgraded. Right, a large number of keywords disappear, or directly k. This is what happened to my website. It didn’t work until 2012 when I registered it, haha.
3: There are many game advertising models. The first choice is pop-up windows. Don’t say that pop-up windows affect the user experience. According to my experience, game websites are different from QQ sites in that their viscosity is very low. Most people come here through search. Mainly check the guide. Unless you are big or have a forum or something, you can ignore this, otherwise no one will remember you unless you are too unique. To sum up
Basically, the current situation is that you can earn almost 40 if you pop up 10,000 IPs (it’s good if you can earn more than 30 per day). If you can earn more than 100 per day one day, you will find in a few days that the amount is thousands. Thousands of bucks are deducted, which makes my heart feel cold.
The second is the floating advertisement in the lower right corner. This 10,000 IP is about 16 yuan.
Then you can place Alibaba's advertisements in a more suitable location on the website. qqcc1.com with 10,000 IP addresses can earn about 10 yuan a day. If you are lucky, you can get a monthly subscription. But you have to remember that the naming of advertisements also depends on keywords. You should research this yourself.
It is the least cost-effective to put GG on game stations. There are too many displays, the matching is too good, and the unit price is too low. You can go to major websites and see that there are gg game advertisements everywhere, and you can’t even think of them not matching.
4: Setting up a guild in a game station is a long-term profit method. , build a guild forum to gather popularity. You have to figure out how to gather popularity and how to make money. You can either be an agent for a software and make money by selling software, or promote games and make money as a game promoter. This is my first recommendation. I’m not trying to fool you. A good promoter can earn tens of thousands a month without any problem. If you search for certain game keywords on Baidu, you will find many bidders, including the top ten games on Baidu’s rankings. , one click of the bidding keyword is 6.7 yuan, the content of the bidding is nothing more than writing about a certain promoter, there is no high return, who is that?
Therefore, building a game guild to promote games based on the popularity of the website can be said to be a very profitable job. As long as players spend money, you will make money. Don't say I didn't tell you.
That’s all for the specific details. I hope you can point out any mistakes. Thank you.
