Code farmers start their own business in 0.8 million in six years. Only with a dream can they have a chance.

I have been paying attention to garden information, technology, career development, and technology entrepreneurship articles. I have been paying attention to some topics about entrepreneurship discussions. Today, I am going to talk about my personal experience over the past six years (I will not post a website here, and I do not want to be suspected of advertising ).

Let's talk about my situation first:

Low qualifications, but did not give up
I dropped out of school for various reasons. Later I attended a training class that you have never heard of and learned a little bit about website design and ASP development. Although I know a little bit about it, however, it also played a significant role in later technological entrepreneurship. The first month's salary is RMB 700. I have been working far away from home for a whole year. One small workshop and one person persisted for a year. During ASP Website development
Artists and ASP programs are all on their own. That year, I started to learn about. NET. After buying a book, I remember clearly that I went to the bookstore and lined up two lines at the door: "knowledge changes fate, education, and life ". Determined to change the status quo through learning.

 

Squeezed out in the first year of the Northern Region
In the next year, I came to Beijing for a job worth RMB 1000. Fortunately, I was interviewed by the first company, but I still did ASP Website development. The technology department has a project team for ASP. NET System Development. I really want to learn. I have never had a chance to install a software environment. I spent 30 yuan to buy seven disks, and now I am on the right track. The most depressing thing at work is being looked down on by people. The reason may be that no one else is an outsider, and his own experience tells others that it is not like you, and I look down on you very much. After my colleagues in the technical department left the company, I applied for a development opportunity with the project manager. Finally, I was forced to be squeezed out by a colleague who refused to let you do things. Naturally, you cannot proceed. This person is very jealous, and a migrant worker can work with him with almost the same salary. Later, I even published an article "XXXX for migrant workers" in the CSDN forum to analyze the current situation. NET, which means that I have snatched their rice bowl. Soon after the incident, I was unable to learn the technology and determined to leave. The supervisor said something to me, so I should not talk too much about anything to others.

 

The start of your dream is to learn and start a business.
Entering another company has the original foundation of self-study, and gradually grows up. The previous experience, lack of education, and low technology will not last long, decide to start your own business. The project naturally chooses my familiar vertical website, and I learned a lot during my passion for technology. JS and CSS front-end development language. After one year, I learned from the project from day to night. After one year of accumulation, the entrepreneurial project was launched. At this time, I am still working. I have no professional promotion staff or operation staff. I am posting, sending emails, and sending QQ promotions whenever I have time. I have accumulated several hundred registered users in just one year, during this period, I communicated with users and understood what the users needed, how I should do it, and my understanding of the user psychology. This is the motivation for continuously improving the user experience over the years.

 

Entrepreneurship is hard
No matter how hard the environment is, the salary is low, the house is small, it doesn't matter, except for the time of eating and sleeping on the seventh day, it seems that there is no free day, And I get up at on Saturday to write code, one person writes that there is no air conditioning in summer at. One fan is a day. There is no heating in winter, and it is a day to wrap the quilt. At this time, I am still at work and I have never been idle on Saturday. Write a few pieces of code before going to work, and then write it to 12 days after work. In the past 360 days, I believe that everything I do will be successful in the future. Many people are using it. Every time I create a function, it is even more exciting to eat meat.

 

Failed to start a partnership
In and two years later, I did a lot of work during the period and the development was unsatisfactory. The previous idea was that as long as the products were made, they would be useful. Only the reality tells me that no one will use a new product, nor use things that are useless to themselves. Your products cannot generate real value to customers, but they will not, not to spend money. So I found two good colleagues and decided to join them. I thought that one person would not make any money, but a few would be bigger or worse. The idea is too full and the reality is cruel. If you work harder and have passion, but the partner does not have that, and you have not invested much money to complete the Cooperation for 1600 RMB. Failure tells me not to cooperate with people without passion, not those with passion or interest in the project.

 

With the first revenue
One person in 3rd years, with his own salary, installed a server in Zhongguancun, 4000 yuan a month's salary. This year, more people registered for the product, all of which are free of charge. In order to reduce the pressure on the server, the decision to put GOOGLE ads, every penny, it means that they invest less money, this year's score is 315 USD. At that time, I sent an article in the garden.

 

With the first customer
In the spring of 4th, as a fellow in our industry, he also wanted to do business, registered my products, and became my first customer one year later, on the day of charging, I opened a bank account in the afternoon and talked to the customer in the rain. I can make a payment... My colleagues believe me and I want to do better. I should insist that other projects can make money. Why can't I do it? promotion is still a person, QQ, or email. In this year, the project's revenue has exceeded 20 thousand, which is about half a year's salary, at that time, the salary was 4000 yuan a month. With the first customer, there will be the second one. I bought another server and changed the high configuration. This year, I did not give up. The opposite side of passion is getting bigger and bigger, and I am confused about it. After that, I still believe that the product will produce value.

 

With your own team
In 5th, when I was still at work, I invited a person to promote the product, but it was not really a transfer to the team. The product was being improved and there were more and more registered users, with funds, I switched to Lenovo's server. The annual revenue of 11 was larger than that of the previous year. Although it was not as big as what I wanted to do in the past few years, I felt that I could survive now, it is no longer easy. My colleagues at the same time don't know how much they have fallen, and their persistence, hard work, and dreams are still there. At least they are still alive. This annual income has reached 0.3 million.

 

This year, it reached 0.8 million
I am not at work this year, and I have left my friends. I want to start a business. I am very timid. After six years, I decided to work hard. I can have a few autumn vacations in my life, if you miss it, you will no longer have to register a company. You can only do it yourself when dealing with banks and taxation. I have also recruited a few people in my business. I still stick to development and have outstanding user experience. I can really think about it from the customer's perspective. The customer naturally believes in you. This annual revenue has reached 0.8 million, there is a gap with the ideal 8 million, but it is still far away. People are becoming more and more realistic and more ambitious to pursue their dreams. At this time, we serve more than 500 customers. Our goal is 1000 next year.

After several years of accumulation, it becomes a versatile player, from technical development, database design, CSS, JS front-end development, artist, server maintenance, finance, salesman, marketing, to network marketing, there is no money to confuse. At present, it is not a success, but it is just a start. I still have the same dream in my mind, and I will surely be able to reap the harvest.

 

Summary over the past few years:
Low startup costs, all invested in labor costs
It's tiring to start a business. If someone else takes a break, you may be writing code to stay up late.
Entrepreneurship can fail, as long as you can stick to your own direction
Entrepreneurship is never different from ambition.
You don't have to devote yourself to start a business. You can start a business at work and wait for the time to come.
Entrepreneurship must be able to tolerate zero income, and how can it be rewarded without years of persistence
Entrepreneurship is not necessarily a big deal, even if it can only help you support your family
It is not impossible to start a technology business. If you stick to the same direction, you still have a chance.

 

These are my entrepreneurial feelings over the past few years. I wish every friend on the road. If you are still confused and cannot find a way out, stick to it first! You have a dream?
