I never dreamed that I would do the internet, and I've been doing it for more than 10 years. Before going to college, I only saw a computer at brother-in-law's house, would play a simple game, and saw a basic book, but one line of code would not. My dream is to become a journalist, can test university when the teacher advised me to apply for a foreign language department, if not, can also be admitted by the Department of Journalism, so I unfortunately admitted, and was divided into an inexplicable language. (not English department anyway)

After three years of mixed up, I contacted the internet, when the Chinese network has been listed, the bubble era. I remember the deepest is the embassy was bombed, a website called on the Internet to attack the United States government website, I also printed out posted to the School of the Sea Bulletin, estimated that few can understand, anyway, I will not engage. And then many websites launched, my favorite is to go to a variety of Web sites registered users, and constantly received a variety of gifts from the site, feeling really happy. Of course I was, only limited to browsing the web, relatives introduced me into the local chat room, but also fascinated by the chat, then the relationship between the netizens really simple ah, I still remember the computer broke, a big brother to call me, tell me how to repair the computer, a full dozen for half an hour. 1999, there are many well-known personal websites in China, I went to the bookstore to buy a FrontPage, I built a station, or with frame structure, relatives of colleagues to help me in a network company server opened the space, binding a two-level domain name, and then uploaded up, my space will be opened. Just do not understand the network, also do not understand the operation, are manual to do a page, anyway is playing Bai.

If there is no network, perhaps my life is another track. Senior people are preparing to take an examination, and I am infatuated with the network, and then really embarrassed, but also across the professional candidates for a Chinese professional, but did not review well, bent on joining the internet industry, the final political difference of two points. And I went to a local internet company.

The company is very famous in the province, even in the domestic peer is more well-known, once shouted "catch up with Sina" slogan, also received hundreds of millions of of the investment, but due to the system problem, now has declined, and I entered the company two years after the resignation, want to go to business.

I was the entrepreneurial direction is to engage in internet cafes, and soon with a friend disk down an internet café, renovated, replaced the new computer, then with a well-known internet cafes, 7 o'clock in the morning to 9 points free internet access, soon the business is fire up. According to the trend of the time, we can return to Ben in less than a year, and we are all very happy. But it didn't have a very short-lived opening January, June 02 (perhaps May), Beijing blue Speed Internet cafes fire, the national Internet cafes closed up rectification, we have been affected, until November to resume official business, but 2 months after the winter vacation, after the end of the winter break, after less than 2 months, SARS again, a whole year, was tossing the dead, Finally had to transfer.

But lost Sang, collect the east, 02 a friend to me to open the company, mainly engaged in network advertising agency and publishing business, then feel very good, so prepared a little lattice in the Internet café opened. After talking about the first client, I put 10,000 yuan in my pocket, went straight to a local sales department, threw it on the table, and after a few years they remembered, hehe. Network advertising business is very good, at that time engaged in a number of network promotion forums, Sina Sohu and other large sites have to support, remember that the south of a website even said that can sponsor more than 50,000 dollars, in order to rank in front of Sohu, but unfortunately because of SARS, the activities did not get into.

At that time quite like the Donews website and QQ Group, Tong also in Xi ' an tech school, later dropped out, made a network of ideas, but also often in groups chat. Compared to now really good amid ah.

Do online advertising for a long time, always feel no own resources, bad, as we also operate a website. (think now, this kind of thinking is really very wrong, if insist to do online advertisement, we may be already very big now)

At the end of 03, we opened a life of their own portal site, looking for high-end hotels to open a press conference, but also asked the provincial and municipal leaders to cut the ribbon. We do our best to the point is the highest access to more than 20,000 IP per day, often engaged in activities, the forum is very hot, we issue a membership card, to consumer places can be discounted consumption. At that time and some foot therapy bath Center, we send a person at the cashier waiting, guests come to the promotion of membership card, can immediately discount, sell a lot. Unfortunately many things have not persisted, the leadership thought invests too much, gave up the website. And I think give up too unfortunately, produced their own idea of running out, the more I want to strong, so quit the company (and shares), began the process of independent entrepreneurship.

Now summed up, self-confidence is an advantage, but also a disadvantage, the key is whether you have the right self-confidence. Their academic work has been very smooth, although the Internet café twists, but there is no loss, the network advertising business is very good, people too shun, it is easy to overconfidence, too trusting their own judgment and ability, will inevitably fall.

After a momentary brain fever resigned, with the website out, I did not find a suitable profit model, and east a hammer West a stick to do, rely on for customers to do site maintenance, and the bank has been talking about the joint development of discount business cooperation, the agreement to the legal department of the review, but is said to be the president of the relationship is very stolen.

Later put some money to do hotel reservations, light system for several months, but unable to develop the market, gave up.

Then I found that the baby market is very potential, so do a baby net, every day to Baidu to know how to answer questions, visit the volume quickly went to, but also with the hospital to talk about cooperation, to do the solution for pregnant babies, but finally because the single fight to give up.

And then found a company in Hangzhou to do the project, feeling very good, but not so much money, a friend encouraged me to sign an agreement, promised one months after the investment, so I used a large six months to introduce the project. But his commitment to basically fell empty (please allow me to explode a foul language, CTMLGB, later cheated me good tens of thousands of), I am miserable, a patchwork of money to fill holes, that period of time is really anxious to scratch the scalp. Then another friend also looked after my project, to cast two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand, become a major shareholder. We can finally run, a sigh of relief.

The beginning of six months, although difficult, but always have income, and then almost can make ends meet, the major shareholder withdrew the authority, he wants to be general manager, because feel our one months Wanle income is too little. And he claimed that shareholders should not be paid, only give me 1000 dollars of living expenses, shit, I just work to take more than this. Endure more than a year, I really can not go on, the northwest wind is fast to drink, and also to his business philosophy and way of doing things do not recognize, I again give up the project.

09 I returned to a person alone, relying on the site to maintain. Since then there has been cooperation, there are also friends of the investment, there are other experiences, but not important, when after a lot of hardships, all is not a problem, the question is whether you believe in yourself, whether others recognize your ideas, is whether you have enough perseverance.

After many times, I was good, not defeated by various failures, now income can also, wife and children are very good. Recently made a ticket booking site tour benefits, is one of my projects. Why choose this one? First, from the national social level, income increased, people leisure way more, prefer self-help travel more; second, do not need to invest too much, do a good job of network promotion can; third, all the business is basically done through the Internet, do not need to go out to run business, relations, dinner, In a way, I hate the business model of drinking to death.

Talk about your own sentiment:

1, the network is really very important, at that time just to do it alone, a lot of friends are enthusiastic to help me, provide the office, provide resources, advice, even give me a quarrel, really thank them, if they can listen to their advice, maybe I will be better now, but unfortunately too young, too confident.

2, if you are engaged in a certain job, as long as a serious job, please let the people around you, your relatives and friends, you know all the people, to understand what you are doing. My clients for the last two or three years, almost all friends or old customers introduced, and even several times I do not chat on the internet and a long time to greet friends, the other side asked you to do the network is it, I said yes, he said just my company/my friend to do the site, you help make a bai. Customer resources need to accumulate, but if your friends and relatives do not know what you are doing, why do you complain that the development of customers is difficult.

3, the maintenance of customer relationship is very important, anyway, I and most of the clients have become friends, all talk, although he may have 5 years ago I registered a dozens of-dollar domain name, but because the relationship has been maintained, so 5 years they involved in the network business is basically I do.

4, talk about the profit model of the website: I now only believe a little, if your site want to succeed, please use 35 words without hesitation to explain your profit model, if not clear, it is not done. I have seen a lot of web sites rise and fall, investment millions of is full of rhetoric about the profit model but half a day can not say that the final failure of many. Please do not say that Facebook Jingdong is not also not profitable, we are ordinary people, although we think, but it is difficult to do their level.

5, the importance of learning: I study the arts, math is not good, but so many years, I use div proficient in writing Web page is no problem, but also trained a lot of art out, although not to write program code, but the general problem programmers do not cover me, because I know how the principle is going, but also often and their analysis of ideas. In 04, when our website launched the blog system, to the provincial staff of some large sites to see, they actually do not know what the blog! Hey, no wonder now our province's network industry development is very poor, no leader. In fact, I quite regret a long time ago to understand SEO, but has not been properly studied, and my former colleagues have now been lecturing everywhere, and feel that doing SEO is very pediatric, ready to further development.

6, on the cost: Many people think of the next program from the Internet, flower Hiber to find someone to change, put online can make money, I really did not see this can be successful. My travel benefit website is through to do before the ticket booking website Operation Experience Summary, then optimizes the process to develop, certainly still in further development, now is only the embryonic form. The server is bought Aliyun server, the proper input is necessary.

7, too late, not wordy too much, just say one is also important. Educate your boss or client and often see a lot of people complaining about the boss and complaining about the client, but if they really know what else you need to do, be skillful enough to educate your boss or client to follow your advice. I was always a good customer, but now often said to them "no, no" "Do not agree with your boss's opinion, our only professional, if you insist, then find someone else to do, we do not do." "Oh, a lot of times, customers will follow my advice."

In fact, very early to comb their more than 10 years of experience in the Internet and experience and lessons, perhaps more lessons, but really did not have the courage to write, perhaps because of their lack of success, but also in the mediocre struggle. But today when the Bath decided to break through their own, there is no shame, to shake off the baggage, perhaps the move more easily. Because the time is too late, the rough some, hoped can have some help to the friend. Also welcome everyone to communicate with me. When there is time, I will write in more detail some of my past and lessons, as well as the idea of entrepreneurship, or once love, hehe.
