I lived in Xi'an for 5 years. The year I left in 2003, I had a similar entrepreneurial idea. However, I wanted to start a second-hand website for colleges and universities, because every year when graduates leave school, they have to deal with a lot of things, and those things It was very popular among undergraduate students, and even a worn-out book was bought at a price much higher than selling scrap paper! And I heard that some universities did not allow it to be sold on campus, so I wanted to make one like that. Website! As a result, my ex-girlfriend graduated that year, so I followed her to Hangzhou for development, and the idea was shelved!
Starting a business is hard! I think back then, when I was running "Campus New Generation" at Shaanxi Normal University, I didn't even publish the first issue of the newspaper. I just used a creative copywriter to advertise for postgraduate entrance examination training courses. Which one did it? I paid 600 yuan, and I also got 95 yuan from an agent who sells BP (they said 5 yuan of tax would be deducted). Therefore, I personally think that it is not difficult to make a profit in any business. The difficulty is only that you do not have a good idea! Later, "Campus New Generation" was published and published in Shaanxi Normal University, University of Science and Technology, College of Posts and Telecommunications, School of Political Science and Law, Highway Jiaotong University and others distributed it for free, which caused a strong response. I also heard from my friends that a professor from the School of Political Science and Economics of Shaanxi Normal University brought "Campus New Generation" as a case study in class! So, remember: businessmen always focus on interests, and you must Only by finding a good entry point and bringing possible benefits to them can you convince them. Just like the China Wealth Project Network I built this time, it took 5 hours to raise 100,000 yuan in funds with just one mouth and a bunch of data when the web page, program, and software were not fully developed. Although the amount is small, it allows me to develop the website without worrying about food and clothing! This is very important to me!
The webmaster's courage is commendable, but not enough to emulate. Personally, I think you should first build a solid foundation by building your internal strength. If you do this well, website promotion is actually very easy. As long as you think of a way to show off, it will naturally become a hype. But think about it on the other hand, if your website itself is not well done, what will happen even if you become famous? It will only accelerate your death!
In addition, entrepreneurship is also about the right time, the right location, and the right people! Starting the China Wealth Project Network was something I thought of in 2005. At that time, inspired by Zheng Zuoshi's new work "Alibaba: No Easy Business in the World" which had just been published, I wanted to imitate Jack Ma's Integrity Pass model to build the Integrity Circle of the China Wealth Project Network. At that time, I successfully started my first job and had no financial problems at all. But at that time, the relationship between people and people was not good at all. On the one hand, my ex-girlfriend’s family affairs seriously troubled me, and on the other hand, I could only make simple ASP modifications in terms of technology, and even the entire sentence "if...then..." I can’t even fully understand the sentences! Moreover, my ex-girlfriend is only half-baked in terms of technology, and she would ignore my creativity for a year and a half whenever we had a fight! So I didn’t do it at that time, I just didn’t stop paying attention to the trends on the Internet. , I even bought every book about Jack Ma, read it, and took notes! Now it’s better. I have hired my junior high school classmate Yang Weimin to be in charge of technology. I am in charge of the overall site structure and operation, and Yi Yang, the editor-in-chief of "Women's Square" magazine, is in charge. Media publicity and public relations were used to build momentum, and even after all the money was burned, some people took the initiative to send money (the 100,000 yuan mentioned just now was actually a financing totaling 1 million yuan, but the first cash payment was 100,000 yuan). Therefore, although the new version of the website has not yet been launched, we have enough confidence and endurance to take this path!
With good ideas, good technology, and good service, I believe your website will slowly improve! All of the above are indispensable. If you only have ideas but no technology, I advise you not to do it first. Take action, keep thinking about this idea, and wait for the opportunity before taking action! I believe that by then you will find that even God is helping you!
Entrepreneurship is a road of no return! Especially for grassroots webmasters like us! It is not easy to survive. There are many people who don’t even have the opportunity to kneel! Jack Ma said: Yesterday was cruel, today is even more cruel, and tomorrow will be beautiful... The vast majority of people died tonight! Those of us who are still alive must hold on!
