Small stationmaster's personal diary continues to update

The intermediary transaction SEO diagnoses Taobao guest stationmaster buys the Cloud host technology Hall

"Always want to build their own station of the process of recording, not because of their achievements in this area, but because in the process of insisting on doing the station there is too much bitterness may only know, not be understood, sacrificed their own a lot of time." And their own thinking has been unclear, resulting in slow development of the Web site, and walked a lot of detours, many are because of their lack of summary, so I will be a build a station diary, and you share at the same time, but also motivate themselves to supervise themselves. ”

First, I want to review the initial stage of my own station.

Yes, one night in 2006.1.31, I finally impulsively bought a domain name accompanying me to the present. This one night may affect my life, which I have not thought of before. Said I do not have a long time to do the station, at first I completely ignorant of the internal operation of the site (of course, now is only a smattering), at that time my friend and I began to do this, he did a forum, with DZ program, two years ago dz or what version I have forgotten (DZ development really fast AH), That is an entertaining forum, just start we have a very passionate, every day spend a lot of time to maintain updates, so the forum is also relatively smooth development, there are a number of loyal netizens, although the forum is not very hot, but every day there are people to participate in the discussion, but also more lively. It made me think that the family of the network was very interesting.
But just as we were in high spirits, dramatic things happened. Because we buy private space, and this space business Server is hacked, resulting in all the loss of data, our forum is also finished. This makes us very disheartened. Later a period of time, we also did not think of the severely forum, the construction station also lost some confidence.

Soon after, I began to plan to do a forum for myself. Because of the previous cooperation with friends, in a lot of ideas conflict, so very much want to do as they wish. First of all, I would like to explain that I have not learned about the construction of Web site knowledge, it can be said that there is no ability to do a forum, I even dz simple erection is spent one night slowly pondering, also do not know how many people asked, how many nights, is because stubborn want to do a own forum, I think now, I may not regret it either.

First I bought a domain name, and then bought a space for a private space business. A total of 200 dollars, for those of us who do not have much money, can only buy this kind of no security space. Just start to think of the domain name, want to buy which good ah, because friends tell me the domain name selected, the construction of the site has a lot of help, but also told me what kind of domain name is good. But it's hard to choose a good domain name. I think I personally is very like creative things, so I would like to take a idea in the inside, so repeatedly tried in front and back or behind add a what word, finally I chose Ideavip, friend said this domain name is not very good, but I still insist to buy down, Because I like it very much. The domain name and the space have, then is starts to build the station. Friends recommend DZ procedures, convenient and simple. But people like me who do not understand this very simple procedure to understand, it took me a lot of time. Finally painstakingly, a brand-new forum was born, because the time is long, I have forgotten what the original name, but certainly not now this. Happy at the same time, more difficult to build the station life has begun.

It is easy to do a station, propaganda difficult

At the beginning of the forum with friends, in that process I have already felt to promote a new station, and can not put out a lot of money to go around playing advertising, it is difficult!

First of all, I need to enrich the content of the forum, where I made a big mistake. At the beginning I did not realize that to first plan the characteristics of the forum and the direction of development, I just add some assorted content, thinking that there will always be someone to see the content. So I add AH plus, tired to death don't say, a period of time passed, I found that almost no one to see, even if it is not a reply to the message, no one involved, I am very depressed. Later in DZ Forum to see a person wrote the article, just let me suddenly, my forum is disunity, no focus, no characteristics, people feel very messy, naturally unable to keep people.

So I began to think about the development direction of the forum, to reposition the forum.

But to give a forum to find the direction and positioning is difficult, must have sufficient experience in the establishment of the station and a keen sense of the trend. Netizens receive every day fresh things, they are concerned about things are constantly changing, and some of the characteristics of the content and by several famous website "monopoly", want to compete with them, is simply wishful thinking. This time let me have a headache, how to position, I completely lost the clue. In my imagination, this is probably a few directions. One, because I am in the university is the study of interior design, so you can do an indoor design related forums, plus I have so many students, should not worry about content. Second, because I like creative things, just started to choose the domain name is also thought of creativity, so do a creative-related forum. Third, to do a pure entertainment forum, mainly for Chongqing local netizens, for everyone to exchange, usually can also organize some offline activities, the popularity must continue to rise.

I basically put the positioning on these three choices. Later think, do a forum by one person's force is very difficult to complete, why don't I make good use of some of my classmate resources? So I'm going to do a forum for interior design. But then it didn't work, and in less than one months I changed my mind. Because a large part of my classmates came out and did not choose the bank to work, plus just came out almost nothing, so there is no constructive help, the last problem is that they do not seem to like the internet (but perhaps because I did not have a good relationship with them in school), my forum can not have original things , reprinted a lot of articles, but also attracted some spectators.

Later, I want to bring creative things also introduced to the original design and creativity is inseparable. I continue to reprint some creative articles. The forum seems to enrich, but the amount of traffic has been not high, and very few people register, see a little angry. And previously promised to help a few moderators also lost patience, have left. It makes me dispirited again, is there no way? Really strong and no place to make.

The most important thing is publicity. There is not much technical content of me, there is not much way to publicize, just read some articles after the start to follow. Also please some friends who often surf the internet at any time to help publicize. To tell the truth, this is the least reliable. Usually chat very well, also promised to help publicize, can really do not a few, also just meaning one or two. There is no way, I have always been a do not like begging (in fact, the forum, I have asked a lot of people, from the website construction, content added to publicity), I began to like crazy around the post, eyes staring at the computer, every day makes people very gaunt, sometimes also feel very tired, ask yourself, Why do you have nothing to do such a boring thing ah. Then is to let GG, Baidu and other search engines included my site, every day spent less than 10 hours online, like cattle non-stop "hard", hands and feet seem to be mechanical operation. The time is long, the eye is particularly afflictive, so the hand kept rubbing eyes, usually not delicious food (because I think out to eat a meal is a waste of time, their own to do more waste), so accompany me the longest time is an instant noodles packaging, there is a time when I see instant noodles bag feel nausea, The thought of instant noodles tastes like vomiting, and I'm going to freak out when it comes to instant noodles. Imagine, then I have how much hate instant noodles such junk food, but also have no way, my life is completely disrupted, such an abnormal life is to spend with instant noodles.

After a period of crazy publicity, my forum on the flow of a great progress, see such results, I am still very happy, although the big injury, although the forum is still looking at more people, less involved.

But I also have some lucky places.

In the application for ICP Certification, I passed the very smoothly, others have been waiting for a long time no news, I seem to pass within one weeks, but I did not care much about this, thinking about the forum and did not help. The other good news is that I did not know what GG PR is, and never looked at the PR of their own domain name, once in DZ Forum appears an article, know this thing, I am surprised to find my domain name PR is 2, is really incomparable surprise, Although I also did not understand why will rise to 2, but this to me after the exchange of links played a great role. It also inspires me to make sure that the forum is done. It seemed to me that there was a good prospect and a lot of confidence.

In fact, at this time, my forum is just a content collection station, and there is no original things. For a new station want to get original article is very difficult, so the participation of members is not too high, each post is just lazy loose a few replies. I think we must change this situation, if you can not win the original works of members, then only to do their own original, in order to motivate some members to participate. At this time I think of Flash animation, because of this hobby, before also the land continued to do some, I would like to start from here. But then things were not so simple, because I am a person to do too much, just manage the forum aspects of some things to spend for a lot of time, do animation, need the early idea, want to story, draw drafts, the last series of work, I unless I cut myself in half, otherwise it is not good at both ends, In such a hurry to do things out really is very rubbish, so I think the lead, also did not achieve my purpose, always let me feel powerless. Plus I become more and more lazy, the forum on such a drag.

However, just as my forum has grown to half a year, devastating disasters have once again befallen me.
Space business is attacked, the data can not be restored, and I usually do not have the habit of backup, God, tease me once is enough. I nearly collapse, think how I have come over these months, not experienced people will not know, even with the words is difficult to express clearly, so my hard, just overnight. I then closed my eyes, as if to see a person in the night, dragged the tired body walking, surrounded by silence. I am completely discouraged, maybe I should not stir this pot of mixed water. So I did not ask the space business data is still able to recover, also did not find him a refund. I completely give up doing stand. The domain name pointed to me a blog. From then hope to find a normal life, to find a normal job, an interior designer.

Never give up the website dream

    This is a time that is unrelated to the site. is good and short. Left the network, I chose to work as an interior designer, as a rookie in the design industry all day long eager to have a landlord to give me the "first time", a small home decoration designer, in this flooded industry is nothing, a relatively complex market, so that a novice difficult to get a chance, every day in order to be able to mix down , I often tell my friends, I have to cheat every day, one months later, I have a basic understanding of the company's true level. As a decoration company, for customers, the construction level is the most important, however, our company's construction level is not so good, for their own design ability is only the extreme initial slightly, in school and did not learn too well, for a person who would have wanted to learn advertising was helpless put into the interior design professional, I just endure through the college time, it is best to prove that reluctantly to like a professional is difficult, not because of good face, competitive, I do not want to engage in home design work. During this period of work, I finally adjusted my biological clock correctly, nine nights a day early six, there is the habit of eating breakfast, because the company away from home, had to move to a friend of the school dormitory to live, the company will we arrange to a remote town to set up, that real estate although new, in the local is also regarded as a high-quality property, But the people in that place have a low overall consumption capacity, and the consciousness is still relatively poor, so doomed our failure, after the failure of this real estate choice, I stay in this company has been two consecutive failure of corporate decision-making, for a decorative company, this is very realistic situation, two consecutive decision making mistakes, Directly led to a sharp decline in corporate earnings, the company's several "old" employees are only a few of the list reluctantly maintained, some have already started to change jobs, see this situation I have predicted that a layoff will happen, but I am still fighting for the last chance, before I leave the company also talked about the last client, But this customer means not to install immediately, which means I have to leave. In fact, to tell the truth, not for the mixed meal, I have long wanted to leave, because this short few months has let me have a sense of disgust in the Chinese industry, the reason I am here will not say more. Before I left the company I also lost my love, a pure affection finally died in front of the reality. Finally the "double lose" the name of the youth, endure pain and loneliness.

Spent a long time to clean up the mood, the rally, and often see the older generation of people criticize our young people can not withstand the big storms, a small thing on the collapse. I think I am not the kind of cowardly people, I do not want to be the people who are always criticized by others, after the reorganization of the mood, I decided to find another job. But looking for it, I found that it seemed to me that I could only choose the decoration industry, an industry that I hated, and I didn't want to step into it until the industry was out of chaos. Time passes by, the work is always not satisfied.

At this time, fate seems to turn again.

My friend is going to turn himself into a space. In my heart is always want to do a website, based on this primitive impulse, I took this space. In this way, my station life is coming again, I close my eyes, see countless keywords, countless instant noodles, and countless days and nights. It took me months to make such a decision.

Run your own website, a beautiful fairy tale

Before I continue to recall, I would like to tell you a story that just happened. Just two days ago, a girl added QQ to me, she asked me how to do a website of my own. I looked at her information, smaller than me.

"Are you still a student?" I asked.

"Just graduated. She answered.

"Why do you want to run a website?" I asked.

"Because I see a lot of people to do the site can make a lot of money ah." She answered.

"Not many websites make a lot of money," he said. You don't know that. "I said.

Light said China, how many people to do the website, and how many people really rely on this to make money, such a proportion, how can say that a lot of people have made a lot of money? I think this girl only sees the surface.

"Do you have Money?" I asked her. I personally think that even if there is no good technology and experience, if you are a sucker, willing to take money to heap a site, of course, it is also possible.

"I didn't. She answered.

"Do you have a team?" I continued to ask. I think even if there is no funds, you have a unity is the strength of the cooperation group, take out the spirit of the three Lang, perhaps still have a chance.

"I didn't. She answered.

"Do you have good planning?" I asked. Although the previous reply has made me not want to talk about it, but out of the same young people want to do their own site, I should help her I can help.

"I didn't. She answered.

I really don't know what else to say when I hear that answer. But she was adamant that she wanted to do it. So I asked.

"Do you have any experience in website management?" ”

"Have, I am a forum Literature section Moderator, I once opened an online shop, popular very good." She finally did not answer that three words.

"Then you give me that forum address to see." "I seem to see a little hope.

"That's the school forum. "She said so, let me very frustrated, the school forum popular Good should be very simple things."

"And what about your shop?" I asked.

Then she gave me a Taobao store address, I opened a look, shop has stopped, and then look at the transaction record, bleak! I saw her buy other people's things. Is it good to be popular? I think maybe your website can only start at the lowest point. Thinking that she had just graduated, I deliberately asked.
"Are you going to do this site full-time?" ”

Yes。 I answered simply.

"What major do you study?" ”

"I studied architecture." She answered.

At this time I would like to advise her kindly, her idea is too naïve. It's really unrealistic to know that she wants to do it full-time. (I don't know why I became such an old man's mind.)

"I advise you to find a job, you are not suitable for this site." I said earnestly.

Just then she said something that I couldn't find my way. "You seem very pessimistic." ”

I think we are also young and arrogant, and I can understand her not understanding of my words.

Finally, I just said "bitter." "And she didn't talk to her.

I think I said no more is useless, I know she is not at all, in fact, from the heart of my support for all the young entrepreneurs, I also think that we young people do not fear failure, to dare to challenge. In particular, do what you want to do, we will be able to do our best to do it.

But why would I advise her not to do it?

I read the previous article may understand that I am learning interior design, and her study of architectural design also has a little similarity, I was graduated after the choice of full-time to do their own website. At that time to do a beautiful fairy tale dream, that can rely on this to survive, thinking as long as I have ideas, and adhere to, you can not go to work, to be a happy freelancer. But in the end, my dream woke up, the reality is so difficult. Her current situation and I was so similar, so I just want to waste a lot of time to go a detour before, tell her, in fact, the road is very bumpy, now depends on your choice.

Of course, as a negative example, I do not mean that people like us are not able to do a good site, make a lot of money. Everyone is different, perhaps more intelligent than I can succeed, so I still want to stand in my age, said we should say, we are young, not afraid of failure, if the real decision to do, seriously to do.

This story is finished, although not very exciting, but since talking with this girl, I have been thinking, thinking about my past, thinking about my present, thinking about my future. I want to put this story in my diary, it should be very meaningful.

Below I will list what I did when I first started the station (see how many of you are like me)

1. I don't have a lot of money to invest in.
2. I have no understanding of the technology of construction station.
3. No team.
4. No complete website planning.
5. Not a lot of Web site management experience and related knowledge.
6. Out of an impulse.
7. Make a fortune dream, want to borrow the website to earn a sum of money, do not have to go to work.
8. Usually lazy, and can not monitor their time to do their best. Lead to slow development.

To be continued .....
