First of all, let me state that I am not a successful webmaster. I am far from the heroes of Chinese personal webmasters. I just keep pace with the times and maintain a website income of more than 10,000 yuan per month and a stable salary from a state-owned enterprise. I am not financially poor. I’m not very rich, I’m just reminiscing about some things, talking about some experiences, telling some personal experiences, and sharing them with all the struggling webmaster friends. Don’t throw bricks, let alone curse, everyone is born to parents. To borrow a sentence from my predecessor, this article is only dedicated to those who want to read it and need to read it. If you don’t like it, please close the browser and just pretend it doesn’t exist. There are too many things in the world that make it difficult to satisfy everyone.
Time flies, and as a webmaster born in the 1970s, I can't help but miss the wasted years. The former classmates and young students have all lost their scholarly energy with the wind. I lived a life of intoxication and dreaminess during college, playing games, from Super Mario to Fighting, to Age of Empires, Red Alert, Monopoly, etc. I played too many games. The longest record is 72 consecutive hours without leaving the computer. . I am in the big city of Shanghai, but it seems that except for computers, everything has nothing to do with me. Everything has a cause, and such a life will inevitably be punished by life: When my classmates all found good jobs after graduating from college, I was still busy making up for the subjects that I failed. During this period, the backs of my parents' hard work appeared in front of me from time to time. I told myself fiercely that I was going to work hard.
Due to my familiarity with computers, I successfully entered a state-owned enterprise and was responsible for network maintenance. It was not a job I loved very much, but I needed a salary to support myself. The stable working environment of a state-owned enterprise obviously could not satisfy my inflated heart. After spending more than a year and a half getting familiar with my leadership colleagues and work affairs, I began to pay attention to the Internet and started learning how to make websites. At that time, I did not know how to make money. During this time, I got to know her, a woman who was destined to be with me throughout my life. The pressure of life after marriage is increasing, and the health of parents is not as good as before. At this time, a man's heartfelt roar will shock himself. The first online earning started with registration on eBay and Taobao, and then Tuling (I made a lot of money).
At that time, I didn’t know much about website promotion, and I had never heard of SEO. It was all worker-ant-style promotion, all done manually. At that time, I felt like a worker at a construction site. The difference was that they were holding construction tools and I was holding a mouse. Baidu Tieba, Sina Forum, Sohu Forum, Tianya, Mop and other major forums posted advertising posts (at that time, blocking advertising posts was not as powerful as it is now). Later, I went to Know to answer questions. Sometimes I asked and answered myself, and accepted it as the answer. Then I registered a few vests and cast a few votes. Leave a message on a popular blog, grab a sofa, register an account on QQ, use a beautiful girl’s avatar, and start crazily manually adding friends to promote, and then slowly started to use some software for promotion. Unfortunately, many tools are now out of order. If you post like that , the Internet has become a garbage dump. The ant-like job promotion brought me more than 3k income every month, day and night. That kind of hard work is not something ordinary people can bear. However, when you are under a kind of pressure, all your strength can burst out, and there is no such thing as hard work. .
Of course, I myself was also thinking and changing, so I began to slowly use the website for promotion. I no longer just sent out links. After completing the website page, I started sending mass emails. I registered a VIP email and sent in bulk. At that time, VIP email was much better than It’s cheaper now and there are fewer restrictions. Continuous deepening will naturally lead to new understandings and new projects will appear. When the era of Tuling comes to an end, we will start to build the Google Alliance. Firefox, pisca promotion, the most is 100 dollars a day, manual + website promotion, mouse + cement. In fact, I concluded later that no matter what you do, as long as you do it with your heart, you will always be rewarded. Simultaneously operating my website, website traffic has begun to grow steadily. Doing Firefox and Pisca is enough to make my monthly income reach more than 10,000. In 2007, I had my own love nest, and my living situation was also improved. New pressure and new motivation. When firefox and pisca were suspended one after another, their income began to drop sharply, and they began to join crazily in alliances.
The income of Excellence and Dangdang Alliance remains at around 2k per month. At this time, it is necessary to think of a new way out. Sales alliances can make money if you do well, especially for cosmetics, the commission is high, and in a mall like Zhuoyue Dangdang, the quality can still be guaranteed. In addition to website promotion, worker-ant-style promotion is still my specialty. Taobao customers who are relatively popular now also have a website. Their income is very average, but they can be useful supplements to their monthly income. At this time, the messy income has reached more than 10,000 yuan per month. I have to talk about sales alliances here. In the early days, I started a sales alliance for CR supplies, and the income could reach more than 20,000 yuan (how to do it? Both online and offline...). Later, this kind of thing was everywhere on the Internet. Gradually gave up. I also worked in Dell sales for a period of time. One unit cost 300 yuan, and I sold tens of thousands of units. Some people may not believe it, but everything is about methods. I focused on universities. I went to university classrooms to write announcements in the name of the school computer center. Leave the website address, I guess I am the first person in the country, haha. Chinese people like to follow trends. In fact, it is better to discover new projects on your own. When a new thing comes out, the people who make money are usually the first to do it. When there are more people doing it, they have to give up and make adjustments and invest in new projects. project.
As Kaspersky became popular in China, I started to join the Kaspersky sales alliance. The commission was about 25%, and I could make more than 1,000 per month. After all, everyone uses computers, and genuine anti-virus software is not expensive. It's outrageous. If you use pirated copies, your account will be banned within a few days, so the sales are pretty good. But I don’t know why, the price of Kaspersky’s own offline channels is much cheaper than online. Now Kaspersky’s income is declining day by day. Its official website download version sells for 158 yuan www.kaba365.com. Go to Computer City and ask The boxed price was 120 and three years, and I couldn’t figure it out! So I removed all Kabbah’s sales advertisements and replaced them with sales advertisements for Bitdefender Mall, the anti-virus software that has been ranked No. 1 for nine consecutive years. It’s very attractive to see these words on the header. The sales commission of more than 50% is very generous. In the first month, it was more than 2k, which is not bad. Personally, I feel that although there will be a deduction for sales alliances, if you do good projects well, you can still make money, except of course the kind of crappy alliances. I recently started researching foreign sales alliances, but I haven’t achieved much yet, so I can’t talk about my experience. I’ll share with you when I find something out.
However, as a webmaster, it is best to have several regular websites to prepare for long-term and stable development. Currently I am building an industry-wide B2B site, hoping to get long-term and stable returns. There are many B2B programs online, and they are free. In fact, the quality of the program is one thing. The key lies in your execution ability. Currently, no one in China has built an industry-wide website, so it is not convenient to disclose it here. No more trouble. The next step is to leave the state-owned enterprise where I have worked for N years, start building my own team, and slowly move towards corporate operation. Who knows what the future will bring, as long as you do it, work hard and do it with your heart, your efforts will always be rewarded. I wrote a lot of messy stuff, and I don’t know if it’s helpful to you. I’m sorry if I wasted your time reading. I also hope that all webmasters will continue to advance in their online careers, have high incomes, good health, happy families, and be happy. Enjoy the online earning life.
