Be patient with a classified information website

We have been established since January 2005 and it has been more than two years now. At the time of creation, all the funds added up to only 800,000 yuan, now more than 40 employees, into the track development period, the money is no longer a problem. We are now doing a five km information platform, such as the city of friends can be about to play together. "This is also easy to fun, Taobao is not the same place", their own home appliances can be put on the internet to sell, and promote meeting transactions, does not occur within five kilometers is not easily done.

3-5 years later is the real golden age of classified information

"The classification information is very very big industry, but it may take a long time, starting from 05, this http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/6288.html" > industry has developed to now nearly two years, is still very early. Classification information Publishing Retrieval Web site at present, the profit model is not in its own right, and it is the real golden period after 3-5 years. ”

Financing is good and bad, forcing money makes mistakes.

We now accumulate strength to bury hard basic skills, the next 3-5 years we will invest billion. However, it is not very much in favour of financing. Because the financing has good and bad, can promote their own brand, but there are bad places. For example, once the financing will have investors every month to open your board, two years of profit can not, the third annual meeting asked you when to make money, a lot of energy to force you to find ways to earn money, this time will make a lot of mistakes, obviously the market has not yet.

Entrepreneurship is not about immediate interests

I think classified information from online profit is not the time, just like Tencent, when it has only 10 million users, forcing it to profit is not realistic. I want the future, no impurities real things, entrepreneurship can not only the immediate interests. For example, we have been working with Tom Online to build the same city classified information channel, which is to provide users with practical, real fee-free classification information platform.

Be patient in a classified website

We strive to do all information classification site The most patient one, do three years five years or even do not profit to do this site well. such as not to do spend three dollars a click, five dollars a post such action, or he has to release the demand, or he has to find a demand for such a site. Two experiences are shared below:

First of all, can develop to today and in the industry a bit famous, is because of focus, really. such as adhere to the user information is a radish a pit, users as long as there is "ask" must be "." At present, send a post can receive twenty or thirty room call every day, so I believe that the House must be able to rent out.

Second, pay attention to the user experience, completely protect individual users. The user experience mainly has two aspects, one is the information authenticity question. The current authenticity problem is most likely to appear in real estate and make friends two pieces. Real estate is a headache for many intermediaries will be posing as individuals to send posts. We pass the intermediary's telephone, through the IP address, once discovers the intermediary impersonate the individual, this IP address will not be allowed to send again. Friends of this block as far as possible to prevent the release of bad information, friends are not allowed to leave the phone, once left the phone will be deleted. The other is to not allow any money to trade this information to appear.

Become a platform for small and medium businesses

Hope that in the next 3-5 years, we become a daily more than 20 million clicks of the site, at the same time to businesses, especially small and medium-sized businesses bring real benefits, such as domestic service companies, send water to these small and medium businesses in the streets do not have to paste "ads", but will find suitable for their advertising platform

After all, there is no place for Home Office advertising traditional Internet, go to Sina such big website, may spend a lot of money also do not have good effect, because the company in Beijing may not want nor need to let Tianjin, Shanghai people can see, as long as there is demand customers can see. But like now the newspaper bean Curd Fast advertisement, the information quantity, the effect is also limited.
