Station webmaster Four months of sad history

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

2006, China ushered in a year of thriving personal websites, when the net earned Cuikulaxiu after a year of madness. 2007 I with cavity blood set foot on a difficult road to build a station.

The location of the station is very important first, since the thought of a year of self-study Photoshop is very proud of the way, preset first position in Photoshop, and provide free p graph business. At that time the confidence of the construction station, publicity, promotion, will be very easy to complete. So a station to build a Greek I began groping.

First setback

See a lot of stations, went to a lot of forums, think the forum is very easy to gather popularity, under the DZ Forum program, in the local debugging countless times, the first question came. I do not have the space, cannot browse on the net, because oneself or the student who studies in the university, the first time enters the new net, to the space price to be deterred, oneself uses the peanut shell to tinker for 1 weeks, has no progress. At this time the group has a person said that will give me free space and domain name, so I have a 2-level domain name and a space. In the case of nothing, * * hand-issued more than 600 PS tutorial, are pictures of local upload. One months of the dawn. Afterwards my forum was inexplicably hung up a lot of ads, mainly to GG. At that time I completely realized that the free space for me is to pay such a heavy price. Because you do not know the space of the FTP user and password. My hard work in vain, for a manual post tutorial, more than 600 tutorials is how big project AH. After a few 10 hours of desperation, I decided to regroup.

A painful struggle.

Find many IDC merchants on the Internet. There are agents, there are enterprises, the price gap is very large, because at that time to IDC basically do not understand, so picked an agent. Hangzhou World-Guide dual-line 1G space 500M database. IIS500, the rest are unrestricted. Feel very good, so spent 220 to buy a year, Next is everything from scratch, or pure hand to post, to do tutorials, but with less than one months, often will not open the Web page. The server business says IIS is over the limit. Oh, my God

2 o'clock in the evening only 5 people actually say IIS is overrun.

After several times of repeated ideological struggle, feel still have to change space, because at that time to IDC already have a little understand. Large and small space has been tried, bought DH's, but due to the speed problem gave up. Bought a private. But because of instability also give up, the result in Tianjin Easy net found space, I think it should be a big company. , so have been at ease of use, but the problem is followed, because the tutorials are local pictures, and his space is precisely limited by the flow of space, my traffic one months down has reached 300G.

And I want to change space, need more than 2000 yuan, which is astronomical for a student! In fact, the problem has been continued, but I can not give up, because at this moment there are many followers of my disciples, but they will not understand, I do this forum has how difficult, east borrow west together, finally is the server to upgrade. So far, for this forum, I invested thousands of yuan, but 4 months passed, no harvest.

Actually, I'm glad.

At first, I repeatedly asked myself why I want to build a forum, I think my original intention and everyone, in order to make money. For profit. But after several setbacks, I also deeply felt that the current network market competition is too fierce. To me such no funds, no material station stationmaster has no foothold at all.

But I am very relieved, as a forum for academic research, Photoshop is now a young people hope to learn software, the beginning of the construction station, back and forth no more than 300 apprentice, I built the station, in the perfect content, still in the group constantly teach them knowledge. I always believed that I treat people with sincerity, the person certainly will treat me with sincerity. No matter how busy I am, as long as they have questions I will go to the first time to answer. But sometimes people will be annoyed, I have been in the control of their fidgety mentality. So now just know me, online know me, will feel that I am very good, although I know that such a crowd is not too much. But I have been recognized as a success, in the server when the emergency, the disciples spontaneously to the fund-raising, to invest, but I did not accept, feel that this is completely and I teach them the original intention of the contrary. So it's all about money. In fact, I think this is a success. At least now on the network spread out a new P-map and style of the works of My apprentice.

Promotion is also a difficult task

For the promotion, this thought in the Baidu bar or other forums to send a few posts can be completed, but it is not their own thinking, in fact, and do have a big gap, the promotion I did not less effort, but in the group to send a link address others will scold themselves is ad, others asked Photoshop where to download, I will be scolded for sending the download address to the group. I think people are what, hey ... Then is the link, now the big stations are actually very despise the station, this is an indisputable fact, but the big stations are not also a small station to develop it? I have been marginalized everywhere, and sometimes links will be other people inexplicably removed. I think the link is not to their own standing in any position, any people are seen? So why are there so many demands? That I had to cheat to get their links. Put your registered members up, the number of online updates to 2 days, these are forced. Today's Society ... Hey

Sometimes I feel helpless.

Build the station, is to want to attract the crowd, and my forum does is free p graph. In terms of technology and attitude, feel that their forum still has advantages, but sometimes it is really helpless. People who have studied Photoshop know that for low pixel and video or with Picasa or shadow of the map can not be done to do any effect, but I received is precisely such a picture, some also send out their need to make a map of the effect, then I really helpless, even a period of time, Open Photoshop feel nausea, although they have been working hard, but still have a lot of people are not satisfied, said not to achieve their desired effect ... I asked you what you want your effect to be? They said: Non-mainstream, then who can give non-mainstream an accurate definition. I'm afraid they're the only ones who know. I used to teach Photoshop when there is no non-mainstream so say, learning is color, digital darkroom, and so on. But to cater to the tastes of young people, they have been groping. Creating "Non-mainstream".

Some minor episodes.

Now, the disciples feel that they have learned almost, and no longer discuss some academic issues, and I used the collector since last month, suddenly found that their forum has deviated from the track, no focus, the content is very dispersed, confused very much.

I thought that he taught very good and savvy apprentice can be able to help in the future, but she has recently told the internet, he will repeat. Help The Apprentice to build 3 forums. Then the fixed IP is dispersed. Content has been very full, but the popularity has never come up ... Now people tired, heart dispersed, forced to turn off the plate, space will expire at the end of August. At that time I did not know whether to give up or continue to insist. Well, I just want to say that it's really not easy to build a station.
