Internet development more than 10 years you missed the entrepreneurial opportunities

After the new product or model we've covered, we often see a lot of people who marvel or feel that they have had the same or similar ideas. But as Kryptonian Superman Raina in the Post's signature: "Your idea, 1000 people think, there are 100 people ready to do, only one person did." "In other words, 999 other people with the same idea are actually missing out on this opportunity," he said.

It's just that you don't have to blame yourself or otherwise, because it's the norm in life. Whether we are ourselves, or have made some achievements of the success of the domestic Internet in this more than 10-year development wave, we look back, more or less will feel that they missed some opportunities.

"The internet has grown for more than 10 years and as a practitioner, what career and entrepreneurial opportunities have you missed?" ”

This is a topic that we know about, and we find that many of our familiar Internet startups and practitioners have reviewed their "missed" opportunities, and here are some of the responses cited here to show you their stories.

Huang Yimeng-VERYCD, founder of cardiac games

Starting from 03 to the present, actually still missed a lot of opportunities.

VERYCD traffic growth fastest, Alexa into the world's top 100, also happens to be the most developed SP business income the best time, but we did not do SP ads, missed the first traffic large-scale change time.

Our electric donkey software installed the highest time, did not follow the Web site to do their own, but at a very low price of the software default settings of the homepage sold to another site. Each month, the bundle of Web site to get the advertising fee less than 20,000 yuan, and a few years later, we do in the Caoz of the website site of the month has nearly 200,000 of the income, the user accumulated almost a year later reached a monthly income of 1 million. But also has missed the best time, less than several years of user accumulation.

In addition, VERYCD is also the first to try to do online video site, as early as potatoes are still using Windows Media player embedded plug-ins, Youku has not been born when we have started to do Flash Player video online playback, It was a pity that the time was not bold enough to make no decision nor to seek investment support. Now, of course, in retrospect, the ability of the time, even if the transfer of online video may not be successful.

The process of starting a business seems to be the process of seeing opportunities miss opportunities, and when you look at Facebook, think about how I didn't think of it, but the chances are, there are Facebook and Twitter, and Twitter can still be born Instagram. Every time you feel like losing an entrepreneurial opportunity, the next opportunity may be coming through. So don't worry too much, put your mind to it, keep on accumulating and try to prepare for the next opportunity. When the opportunity comes, all the pay will be rewarded, as we have 10 years of experience in web games.

I have little to do with the Internet, but there are two things secretly because of the regret of the past share with you:

About 1998 before and after the appearance of Sohu, one of the earliest founders of the new Oriental students, I have a lot of dealings with him, once he said that Sohu needs financing, activating my body that investor's nature. I was about 100,000 dollars in total assets, and I was tempted to give it to Sohu. Sohu was poor to even press conference can not afford, can only use "Niulanshan Erguotou" to do their title sponsor. As a result, the brother said a word and dismissed my idea: "The investment Sohu must be very careful ah ...", so I put up my own gambling, gave up the idea, but if he was an optimist, encourage me to invest, now I will be rich! "

Another thing, this is the 2000 thing, when one of my assistants told me the difference between MSN and QQ, I was really the first time I heard QQ and MSN, natural attention to new things I, Im tools immediately generated a strong interest. But my assistant one word, and ruined me a fortune opportunity, she said: General office white-collar use MSN, lower level of people, all with QQ ... From then on, "higher Level I", of course, with MSN, no longer care about QQ, so, QQ later happened to the earth-shattering success, and I missed, otherwise, I will be in the penguin a few dollars when to buy a little, and then sell in 10 dollars!

"Miss" These two are actually not opportunities, at least gave me a very valuable lesson: Do not underestimate those start-up companies, now seemingly humble company, the future may be Tencent Sohu, so, this belief to support my angel investment, look forward to the next Tencent Sohu ... Even if you never throw it, you must always cast it down!

1. Entering the Internet in 2000, start to do the personal homepage, at that time the domestic stationmaster more income comes from the American Advertisement Alliance, everybody receives the U.S. dollars, often sees each kind of drying the cheque, but because I entered already relatively late, only then saw a tail, very diligently has made the various alliances also did not receive a dime dollar, That year the American internet bubble burst and there was nothing. However, there is a home to make money network slogan let me adhere to do it down, the website said, "As long as you have 10,000 of the traffic, you have 10,000 yuan of income", my homepage on the constantly beating counter let me believe that this is a correct way.

2. Web version of mud started at the end of 2000: laughing and proud. This becomes one of the main sources of income between the 2000-2002 Chinese webmaster, mainly by selling game currency and receiving a monthly VIP, there are a lot of owners from the above to make a lot of money, I because timid only receive monthly VIP, everyone 10 yuan one months, most of the time seems to have received nearly million dollars, But at least I finished my first dream of earning more than million. In fact, the game's income can be higher, but did not insist, also think that selling game coins to destroy the balance of the game has not been sold. And then by the end of 2001 the Stone Age came out of this little game and no one played.

3.2003-2004, the era of the SP, the earliest heard of a Call Century theater website monthly income of millions of, and began to study, in the process of a Quanzhou people's friend Wu Zeyuan founded Http://520.com invited me to join (currently the predecessor of the United States Mito), so I served as an HTTP ://520.com technical Director, others use Passion movies to attract users to enter mobile phone number deduction fee, we use passion to make friends, even high bandwidth costs have been omitted, and then I left the 520 I have created a company also want to do the same, but because of the slow movement in 04, the September moved began to do rectification, A lot of the interface is blocked directly, to the end of the company A penny also did not earn, even if it is almost a month or two, can have a lot of income, I know a technology friend of the boss of the last two months to fish more than 20 million. 01 NetEase shares only 1 U.S. dollars, and then because the SP's income in 03 began to soar, the Chinese stock market yongping should thank the mobile invented at that time that way, hehe. I also often say with friends, in that era, really is China Mobile saved the Chinese Internet.

4.2005-2008, the Web site Alliance gradually decline, during a large number of AdSense rely on Google cheat to earn dollars, I feel disdain did not touch.

5. System disk, website station. The most flourishing time should be about 2008 years, in the past, we do Web site feel is not so easy to make money, and then Baidu began to site cents, several big such as tomato garden, rain forest wind, etc. are monthly tens income, to tell the truth I have shaken for this direction several times, a lot of friends to find I want to do system disk, Then guide the volume to the website station, and then to the Baidu to collect money. But as the tomato garden was caught in 08, I was adamant about the principle of not touching anything illegal. Web site I also did a period of time, if I can use the amount of the 1 million or 2 million IP no problem, but finally stopped, eventually feel not their main business.

In fact, the opportunity has always been, 08 although did not do the system disk and Web site, but saw the web game this direction. Also lucky this time to do it without hesitation, although in this process has also experienced the money spent everywhere for the wages of the situation, but insisted on a right direction, and finally survived. In the past, I often feel that I have lost too many opportunities, feel sorry, now think back, some things like the day is doomed, the only thing we can do is constantly accumulating, waiting for a suitable opportunity for you to come!

For the past more than 10 years, I've lost my chance to drop out of school for ever (at Stanford), and I've rejected a small startup called Baidu (at IBM).

There is a loss, I get a lot. Now I am an entrepreneur, still have a dream, embrace the future, we encourage each other. Oh。

The past more than 10 years have spent time in the Community field, it is a pity, did not make any big event, a big nowhere.

Many opportunities to step on, but did not maximize, like buying a stock, rose by one times, and then threw, and then rose 10 times times. There are many internal and external causes that do not maximize opportunities. One aspect of internal causes is that you are just the executive level, and many of the basic issues outside of your business are difficult to promote, such as culture, administration, personnel, and politics. Believe that now in the implementation level of many people have such distress and helplessness. Relations of production will greatly influence how to maximize opportunities.

Recall the 10 of entrepreneurship, can not say miss anything. Only in the entrepreneurial period when choosing the direction of a number of options, and then set to do Shopex, has been sticking down, has been focused on this project. There were so many choices:

One is to do a picture sharing site and towards the picture printing, high-quality picture distribution and other direction of commercialization;

One is to do an online note application.

Another is in the field of E-commerce, to do a network shopping system, to help businesses open shop online.

Then we chose the last direction, looking back at the first two also have a successful company, of course, we do not necessarily.

In the early days of Shopex, we not only had Shopex but also a payex, the latter being a payment gateway. That year is to buy the system and pay gateway to do, the system for free access to a large number of users can receive technical service fees through the Shopex, through the Payex payment Gateway collection of Trade Commission. But do pay gateway investment is very big, not our small business can do. So later stopped Payex, more focused on E-commerce software and services in this field.

In doing Shopex, early focus on E-commerce front-end system, so many people now think Shopex is just a front-end company. In fact, later Shopex from the front-end to the backend to data marketing systems are available, especially on the back end of rapid development. We provide a complete e-business system as a whole solution, in the industry basically provide the product line is the most complete, customer service covers the strategic level of customers, SMEs and small micro-enterprises.

Looking back on the whole process, never felt that you missed anything, feel that your choice for our team is the most correct.

Of course, in the top of these successful entrepreneurs, some people think they have nothing to miss, some people feel missed a lot. Our readers may also have a lot to say about this, and you are welcome to leave a message here or to get involved in the discussion.
