Learn from other people's network entrepreneurial stories, can give us some advice and ideas.

January 13 A5 Thursday Edition Chat event invitation to Www.freep.cn founder, Brokeback teenager Chen share his internet entrepreneurial story: No Wings I fly, this article finishing version chat part of the focus, welcome to discuss.

Q: There are some webmaster in the network entrepreneurship, may not be healthy limbs, but still get very good achievements, like Chen. First of all thank you to the guests today to share your entrepreneurial story. In the interview with the guests said "mentality for us is very important, we need to accept a broken self, to develop a sound psychology, life teaches us only ourselves can help themselves." "How does Chen adjust his mentality?" I know some friends who have a disability and have not come out of the shadows of my self, hoping that the guests will share their experiences.

A: The mentality of the problem may have my personal reasons, but also have my friends around the reason. I was very young when the accident, so many years, the friends around me more respect, care about me, there are a lot of people to give me a lot of help, this should be I can build up self-confidence important reason. So here, I also mention an initiative, like you can treat people with disabilities around, your words may affect their lives.

A: In the face of the disabled, we are as far as possible with the usual view, many people with disabilities in the case of inaction, are very brave, they made more achievements, they get more applause than ordinary people. We also gave the applause to Chen.

Q: Entrepreneurship is not easy, for the grassroots webmaster who just stepped into the social entrepreneurship, how should you position yourself? How do you position yourself at the beginning?

A: Many friends set themselves a very specific goal at the beginning of their business, and I personally think that as time goes on, many of the goals that you envision are no longer achievable. I suggest that you adjust the development strategy according to the resources you have in hand, the goal can be, but should not be tied to the goal.

Q: Then how did Chen begin to contact the Internet industry? Have you found the huge space in the industry when you first contacted or discovered the value of the industry in the process of continuous practice? Now many beginners want to venture through the Internet, but in the industry choice, in the specific direction of choice, but also more confused. I hope Chen can share the idea of your exposure to the Internet at that time, how to choose a direction with development potential?

A: We actually went through this confused stage. In the beginning, we got only 100,000 of the investment, but at one breath to do 5 business, at that time the idea is to feel where there are opportunities, and are afraid of others first, so have done, the result because of the spread of a wide surface, resources and energy are not able to keep up, one did not succeed.

After the first investor withdrew, we began to reflect on the practice and concluded that specialization was the result. Until now, the casual stickers adhere to the professional line, in the business development is very cautious. The internet does have a lot of opportunities, but for entrepreneurs, we have to be able to resist the temptation to concentrate on what we are doing now, and the value of a company is not how much it does, but whether it does something good.

In the entrepreneurial process, there are two stages of more prone to make multiple errors, one is the start-up period, this time more idealistic, so can think of all hope to do. The second period is to have a certain basis, this time it is easy to overestimate their strength, do something that can not be done. These two phases are our webmaster must pay attention to.

Q: Chen's story is very moving, also very exciting, the website is also very commercial, profit model is very clear, and there is a free template. Hope that after Chen Tongxu, can have an assistant, wholeheartedly into the operation to go, faster and High-strength site Take-off. There are 2 small problems:

1 template class Web site if everyone else buys it, copy it, and do it for free or half, with minimal cost. 2 template class site, the main relying on Taobao and Pat, if Taobao and Pat after all the custom has a template, how to deal with?

A: On the first question, we have some technical security measures, but I think this is not important, because we not only provide templates, more important is a meticulous service, such as our website has a template editing function, our customer service staff will be patient to answer every question, as well as our site's user experience, These are our long-term experience in this line of accumulation, others can steal part of the form of things, but the essence is not stolen. On the second question, we believe that e-business value-added services is an emerging industry, the development of a huge space in such a broad market, no one company can monopolize the world, Taobao is no exception, so we are not very worried about this aspect, our primary concern is how to make their products more competitive.

Q: "Have been imitated, never been surpassed", hehe. Guests mentioned the differentiated services, features of the service, which is sustainable development of an important competitive edge. In the interview, the guests of the team has more than 10 people, have to do the technology and operations, guests do is the operational aspects. I'd like to ask you a few questions about operations. Now casually affixed to the shop for some users, shop operators are the main users of the site, and what support? Now has accumulated a lot of users, want to know how to paste in the early days are how to promote, where to promote, now the site in operation, mainly focus on what aspects?

A: First of all, I am mainly responsible for product development and technical aspects, operational aspects I am just responsible for some big direction, specific things have a person responsible. More than 95% of our users are shop operators. Early in the promotion of our relatively easy, because Baidu has been ranked us in the first few, the first three years have been the number one, the main reason is that we do earlier, early user experience to do is also very good, many sites are actively linked to our website. At present our key work is the product maintenance and the development, the good product is the competitive Power Formation Foundation.

Q: In the interview with the guests, said that the first stage of the network entrepreneurship, but also suffered a failure, investors divestment, web site development prospects are not clear, and so on, at that time this stage lasted how long, and then how to explore through this stage? Encounter entrepreneurial trough, precipitation is good, set the direction, the accumulation of energy waiting time ", this sentence is very good, then Chen specifically how to do?"

A: This stage probably lasted two years, now look back, can pass through this stage, the main interests of us to do two things, one is to insist on not give up, I believe that there will be a chance to persist, even in the most desperate time should adhere to. 2nd, to explore the value of the site itself, timely adjustment of the total reliance on investment in the wrong business strategy, adhere to the development direction of self-reliance. Without investment, life will be difficult, it is impossible to get rich overnight, but I think this is our founders must adhere to a principle.

Q: Hold on. Sometimes even a second, the result is very different, do not give up the opportunity. Digging up the value of the site itself, this idea is worth learning, free to paste the site, mining a lot of value-added services, but also opened the charge and free, as well as the user needs to launch a different service and business, this is worth learning. I would like to ask guests, a site in the mining of their own value, what advice, such as I am running a blog, how can I tap the value of the blog to make profit? From the point of view of the value of mining site.

A: Frankly, I don't care much about the blog industry, so I may not be able to give you specific advice. But there is a principle that can be shared with you, that is, the value of developing a website to start with the user. Casual stickers before is not professional for the network owner to provide services, we are a comprehensive picture upload site, the main user is the forum users. Later we analyzed the source of the picture outside the chain, found a lot of users put the picture to his Taobao store, and these business users are very valuable, so we decided to focus on the development of these users.

Q: Sometimes I am confused, I respect everyone around, but also respect the understanding of everyone on the Internet, these respect brought me no small gains, but I am confused about their own direction, I do not have any professional, also did not make any good site, can you enlighten me?

A: Successful business philosophy must be able to meet the needs of the reality, to serve the real life of a certain aspect, that is, to the community meaningful, so I usually pay more attention to get some inspiration from the real life. I also insist on doing some customer service work, just want to experience in the process of serving customers what they need. Another individual's ability can be improved through continuous learning, my major is enterprise management, software development technology is also I self-study. I wish you a better way to go on the road of entrepreneurship!

Q: In the dialogue can feel the guest to "do content" more concerned about, the site only rich content, can retain users, do a good user experience, in order to maintain the user lasting stickiness. Now a lot of novice stationmaster, start to build a station to want to earn how much money, compare impetuous, refuse to do content, do substance of information. Free paste from the beginning of 05, also experienced a long time, the above also introduced to go through several stages, only to obtain the current results, want to ask when the free stickers are starting to profit, in the site has not been profitable, how to adhere to it? This process lasted 2 years?

A: Casual stickers have been profitable since the end of 08. Before making a profit, several of our founders did not take a penny from the casual stickers, and paid some expenses for their own money, which I think is an important reason to stick to it. I have also received some help, such as our Hubei province disabled People's Federation in my most difficult time funded me 20,000 yuan. Especially a few of my good friends, often ask them to help me deal with server bandwidth problems, but they never want to pay, sometimes even their own way out fee. I think friends are vital to a startup.

Q: In the version of the dialogue, can feel the guest is a very humble also very action-oriented person, is a methodical person, in the interview also said that "we have all the posts have developed performance assessment standards", there is a quantified standard can be more specific directly. Now the guest is the team leader, want to ask guests, in the team management of what good experience, some stationmaster to is the team or individual entrepreneurship problem has been more tangled, because team management is not easy, guests on this issue, what good experience?

A: The problem of team management we have been there, and some problems on the company's development has caused no small impact. Now we have a lot of energy to spend on management. I think to do management, first of all is to dare to share development results with employees, the company's profits to first meet the reasonable needs of employees, so that we have a basis for cooperation. Casual stickers from the inception to the present, before the loss of our shareholders in the constant investment, the two years some profit, but also did not rush to pay dividends, but in the company's development and staff treatment to invest as much money as possible. In addition, the company to achieve initial success has a certain basis to pay attention to decentralization. The founder's will may decide everything in the start-up period, but it is difficult for a person to grasp, this time will be assigned to other people, mobilize the enthusiasm of everyone, together for the development of the company.

Q: The guest interviewed said that "the website must develop its own hematopoiesis function, instead of putting the cart before the horse and pinning it on others ' investment", this is very good. Now many sites do not have their own hematopoietic function, rely on investment, or advertising alliance to obtain income. Now feel free to paste the site, in the profit model to do very good, not only free or charging services, as the guests said, in a good time to enter the Internet industry. Want to ask the guest, a website how to develop the hematopoiesis function of oneself, in looking for the website profit model, the guest has what good suggestion? or share the experience of doing this in a casual way.

A: It also experienced a painful process of looking for a profit model at random. In deciding whether or not to provide fee-based services, several of our founders have had serious disagreements before, and opponents are mainly worried about the loss of users after the charges. This is also true later, we charge users before the nearly 100,000, and then willing to pay less than 5,000. But the result is that 10 of users can not maintain the daily expenses of casual stickers, 5000 of users but let the free paste has the survival of this. Some webmaster friends in the search for a profit model, may look down on money, hope to earn a big, but our experience is that money must be a lump sum to earn, more important things, with the first income after the development of the cornerstone, the road will be more and more wide. Another point, for similar to casually paste the number of users and operating costs directly linked to the site, to the cost and the number of users to make a trade-off between the increase in the cost of users, increase traffic.

Q: Do stand up now, can you tell me what your annual income is? In addition to gossip, guests now 27, do not know whether there is no girlfriend, haha.

A: This is 2011, in a few months will be nearly 28, no girlfriend, haha. The revenue of the website is not yet over 1 million, we hope to break through in 2011-2012 years.

Q: Chen is really great! Would you like to ask me if you are a part-time job when you start your website?

A: I was on the eve of graduation with my classmates began to start a business, there was actually a chance to stay in school, but also want to work on the side of the school side of entrepreneurship. But then feel that this is unfair to investors, others committed to investment, we must also give a commitment, so we gave up the idea of part-time. Now we are a professional team, team members are full-time.

Q: The information shared by the guests is simple and not gorgeous, very valuable, thank you for sharing the guests. Edition chat time is nearing the end, would like to invite guests to make a summary.
