In recent times, first saw the word financial turmoil in the news, and then there are companies to lay off workers, and now there are a large number of graduates at the entrance to the job fair to accept 0 salary, everything happened so fast.

Most of the friends around are doing it, more from the crisis, often to ask me how the site, I often do not know how to answer. Years of study and work has polished me into a pure programmer, and since 07 resigned, accidentally began to do the site, although it has been a year, but no results, if there is income, is only a trivial experience.

In this will be the personal experience of shallow write out, hope for the same wish to follow the webmaster path of the programmer friend to provide reference.

I. Reasons to choose to do the website

Write a program is happy, but will write a program as a career, I believe most programmers will have inexplicable sense of crisis, think of the future when feel dazed, do not know where the road. At least I chose to quit my job because of this insecurity, so I hope I can take my own direction, the way I decided.

Just resigned when, in fact, did not think how to go in the future, so go to the stall, a few weeks down, although good and bad, but the average can earn dozens of yuan each time. So I think, a stall less than three square per day can have a profit of dozens of yuan, if you can expand the booth can generate more revenue, and the biggest booth is the internet, so decided to do the website.

Although the idea now looks naïve, but let me make the first simple site, embarked on the road webmaster, and experienced a year of groping, the idea is increasingly determined.

The reason why you choose to do the site, individuals have the following reasons:

1. Less investment in the site than in the real business

There is no need to say that. Programmers have more advantages in building websites, and can spend less energy and time building the sites they need.

2. Web site is a process of accumulation

The reason why programmers are insecure is because there is no accumulation: technology has been updated, the industry has changed, and much of the knowledge originally learned will be paid for. And do a website, it is an accumulation of the process: the site can continue to improve, content can continue to add, more importantly, the user will gradually accumulate, every effort will be in a day to continue to return.

3. Do the website has the bigger space

Although a variety of web sites abound, but I think there is still a larger space, because on the one hand no matter what type of site, whether from the content or function, the good is not much. On the other hand, many friends now use the existing system to build forums or websites, indeed can save a lot of time, but these general-purpose programs have their own shortcomings: they are too generic, if you want to use in specific areas, it is more than enough. In addition, compared with foreign countries, there are still large gaps in many areas.

Therefore, I think that if we can make a better site, plus high-quality content, and then through appropriate promotion, it will be easier to achieve good results. In this respect, programmers also have a great advantage.

Second, the programmer to do webmaster advantages and disadvantages

As a programmer, if you want to be a webmaster, I would like to have the following advantages and disadvantages:

1. Advantages: Website Production

Website is the cornerstone of everything. Although there are many people do garbage station income is good, but I still believe that a good site has more advantages, only really valuable things can be long. In addition, good websites can be more easily promoted to attract and retain users.

And the advantage of the programmer is to be able to write programs, if you want to do some function, you can accurately realize their own ideas, do not need to repeatedly communicate with others, do not need to wait for others to pay their own time to find the difference between 108,000 and the original idea. Even if the original has not used JavaScript, PHP, asp.net, but only to learn, you can in a short period of time to master the knowledge to do the site, step by step to make a better website.

This advantage will save a lot of time and unnecessary waste, give a good start.

2. Disadvantage: direction, content, promotion

As programmers, because of the nature of the work and the impact of the environment, often the life circle is relatively closed. The first step to jumping out of a programmer is to choose a direction that is often the hardest step. Accustomed to the superior assigned tasks, take the other people draw the road, suddenly to choose their own direction, most people will not know how to go.

In addition, after the website program completes, needs to have the very long time to add the content, carries on the promotion, compared with writes the program to get the sense of achievement, this is a long and the boring process.

These problems are also the problems I have encountered, I hope that in the future with more friends to explore and exchange.

Finally, a brief list of my experiences:

1. December 07: Produced two online shopping websites, now abolished

2. March 08: Production of Kingyar Web Tutorials (kingyar.com), a central repository of translated web-making tutorials

3. September 08: Making a Car rental network (zuchehome.com), groping for different development directions

First post, shallow place please forgive, I mailbox jack@kingyar.com, is willing to work with all webmaster friend encouragement.
