How many opportunities did the entrepreneur slip away in the more than 10 years of the Internet?

God closes a door and opens another window for you! Don't complain about miss, even failure is also a kind of experience, it is important to continue to sum up and reflect on the future can have good opportunities for development.

More than 10 years into the Internet, what career and entrepreneurial opportunities have you missed as a practitioner? This is a topic that we are aware of, and we have found that many of our familiar Internet startups and practitioners have reviewed their "missed" opportunities, and below are some of the most supportive responses, and let's look at the past of these bulls.

Huang Yimeng (founder of VERYCD founder of the Games)

Starting from 03 to the present, actually still missed a lot of opportunities.

VERYCD traffic growth is the fastest, Alexa into the world's top 100, also happens to be the most developed SP business income the best time, but we did not do SP ads, missed the first traffic large-scale change time;

Our electric donkey software installed the highest time, did not follow the Web site to do their own, but at a very low price of the software default settings of the homepage sold to another site. Each month, the bundle of Web site to get the advertising fee less than 20,000 yuan, and a few years later, we do in the Caoz of the website site of the month has nearly 200,000 of the income, the user accumulated almost a year later reached a monthly income of 1 million. But also has missed the best time, less than a few years of user accumulation;

In addition, VERYCD is also the first to try to do online video site, as early as potatoes are still using Windows Media player embedded plug-ins, Youku has not been born when we have started to do Flash Player video online playback, It was a pity that the time was not bold enough to make no decision nor to seek investment support. Of course now in retrospect, with the ability at that time, even if the transfer of online video may not be successful;

The process of starting a business seems to be the process of seeing opportunities miss opportunities, and when you look at Facebook, think about how I didn't think of it, but the chances are, there are Facebook and Twitter, and Twitter can still be born Instagram. Every time you feel like losing an entrepreneurial opportunity, the next opportunity may be coming through. So don't worry too much, put your mind to it, keep on accumulating and try to prepare for the next opportunity. When the opportunity comes, all the pay will be rewarded, as we have 10 years of experience in web games.

Wang (founded the United States Group Network, Rice, net)

My consistent and real idea is: go ahead and indulge.

There is no chance of missing, that is not your chance. The past does not love, the present is not miscellaneous, the future is not welcome. More specifically, please reread Jobs ' classic speech at Stanford's commencement.

Tian Feng Lin (has built a dam, done a website, now a network as director. ）

04:

I started my own commercial web site, because it was in the western region to do a Western IT network, it information +bbs mode, and then came to an authentic said that they registered the Western IT network this trademark site, from search engines to my station, my station has been ranked above them, so they let me change the name, At that time the ball did not understand, afraid of this fear that, was fooled, changed the name.

Then it was closed for some reason!

05:

When you go to school, when you provide SEO services, at that time the industry is still relatively good to do, the competition is also less, a person can do a weekly income, I missed the SEO business to enlarge the opportunity, but also can be self-sufficient, but also to the family to send money, not to increase the burden on their families.

Then I summed up the reasons for not being big:

Personal lack of business awareness

No partner in the class

08:

Happy 001 Gradually heating up, I predict that the model of happiness may be in the domestic fire a, their own use uch do a "happy Net official station (http://kaixinwang.org)", with their familiar SEO means, happy net, Happy NET registration and other related keywords in the major search engines are ranked among the top, and my station title is "Happy Net official station-playing grab parking, slave trading" and so on, so many people through the search directly into my station, I and my friend developed a car parking and the slave trade and other webgame, Finally we have 670,000 UV per day, successfully intercepted the net 600,000 users.

Then thousand oak began to do http://kaixin.com, just started to contact me let me to the domain name jump to their station, I did not do.

Then later, the flow is too large, and I still work, no funds, no suitable team and technical support, their entire server, their own operations, their own attempt to profit, server pressure too often hang ...

Contact with a personal investor who is not reliable, I left, and went out to do the project with him, and then he quit not to do ...

Happy net began to cool down, Shanzhai net also a lot of, my station ranking also began to drop, and then sold to the cottage where to go (http://quna.com) This brother than I under the cost of big ...

It's the http://lepipi.com (I don't know why he made this domain name)

10:

10, when group buying was very hot, million house contend, I first thought is so many group buying site appears, is bound to have a summary of the site appears, that is group buy navigation, there is this idea, at home and abroad there is no group buying navigation, all group purchase information aggregation and screening of the site, Most of them are daily clusters and daily multiple groups.

Unfortunately at that time people in the grand, busy play network (after the direction of the change to do lbs-cut the net), is really want to do this project, no time to toss new things, this is over.

End of 10 ~11 year:

When the 11 micro-blog was warming up, also think is bound to give birth to "micro Bo marketing" Such a marketing liquid out, because I know that once the Internet has a product appears, and is a large-scale use of the time will appear a new way of marketing, email appeared and was large-scale use, there have been email marketing, Search engines appear and are used on a large scale, appear search engine marketing, the same reason Micro Bo appeared, and gradually be large-scale use, will naturally appear micro Bo marketing, and the early cultivation of high fan account, with a number of high-quality various industries Weibo account resources are particularly important, and even comparable to the value of the domain name. (In fact, later Cai did this thing)

Mobile Internet heating up, the first thought is the channel to promote this piece, need to integrate resources (the application store, the industry's most popular app advertising agent to get the hand, the three major operations to promote the channel to talk about), professional to provide app extension services, and this will become more and more hot. (In fact, today's advertising companies, are dedicated to the establishment of mobile internet advertising business, are also expanding resources)

These two, because they are not free body, they can not directly to do, but today also has a lot of friends have gradually risen, there are some of their own small companies, indirectly help them to implement!

12

360 Search, 360 Web site navigation channel vertical and launched their own platform, the first thought is to get 360 of the proxy power and 360 can be put resources of the agent (can be directly packaged into the above advertising companies)

Summarizes the reasons for the failure:

Too impetuous, immature, not familiar with large-scale business operation

Unfamiliar with investment and team formation

Not strong adaptability, not good team and resource reserve in advance

So I have been in the past few years to solve their own problems in these areas ...

Even now (27 years old) has not been a big success, still feel that the internet industry is still very exciting, give up Water conservancy to join the internet has never regretted, believe that there will be a chance to appear, whether it is a new product or fresh marketing opportunities, then hope to see and seize a, in the Internet industry to leave something for posterity to play, It is enough to affect a group of people.

Xiaoping (founder of the Foundation)

I have little to do with the Internet, but there are two things secretly because of the regret of the past share with you:

About 1998 before and after the appearance of Sohu, one of the earliest founders of the new Oriental students, I have a lot of dealings with him, once he said that Sohu needs financing, activating my body that investor's nature. I was about 100,000 dollars in total assets, and I was tempted to give it to Sohu. Sohu was poor to even press conference can not afford, can only use "Niulanshan Erguotou" to do their title sponsor. As a result, the brother said a word and dismissed my idea: "The investment Sohu must be very careful ah ...", so I put up my own gambling, gave up the idea, but if he was an optimist, encourage me to invest, now I will be rich! "

Another thing, this is the 2000 thing, when one of my assistants told me the difference between MSN and QQ, I was really the first time I heard QQ and MSN, natural attention to new things I, Im tools immediately generated a strong interest. But my assistant one word, and ruined me a fortune opportunity, she said: General office white-collar use MSN, lower level of people, all with QQ ... From then on, "higher Level I", of course, with MSN, no longer care about QQ, so, QQ later happened to the earth-shattering success, and I missed, otherwise, I will be in the penguin a few dollars when to buy a little, and then sell in 10 dollars!

"Miss" These two are actually not opportunities, at least gave me a very valuable lesson: Do not underestimate those start-up companies, now seemingly humble company, the future may be Tencent Sohu, so, this belief to support my angel investment, look forward to the next Tencent Sohu ... Even if you never throw it, you must always cast it down!

Yau Jianjun (Webmaster/entrepreneur/game person)

1, 2000 into the Internet, start to do the personal homepage, at that time the domestic stationmaster more income comes from the American Advertisement Alliance, everybody receives the U.S. dollars, often sees each kind of drying the cheque, but because I entered already relatively late, only then saw a tail, very diligently has made the various alliances also did not receive a dime dollar, That year the American internet bubble burst and there was nothing. However, there is a home to make money network slogan let me adhere to do it down, the website said, "As long as you have 10,000 of the traffic, you have 10,000 yuan of income", my homepage on the constantly beating counter let me believe that this is a correct way.

2, began to do the web version of mud at the end of 2000: Smile proud. This becomes one of the main sources of income between the 2000-2002 Chinese webmaster, mainly by selling game currency and receiving a monthly VIP, there are a lot of owners from the above to make a lot of money, I because timid only receive monthly VIP, everyone 10 yuan one months, most of the time seems to have received nearly million dollars, But at least I finished my first dream of earning more than million. In fact, the game's income can be higher, but did not insist, also think that selling game coins to destroy the balance of the game has not been sold. And then by the end of 2001 the Stone Age came out of this little game and no one played.

3, 2003-2004, the era of SP, the earliest heard of a Web site called the Century Cinema monthly income of millions of, and began to study, in this process, a friend of Quanzhou Wu Zeyuan founded Http://520.com invited me to join (currently the predecessor of the United States Mito), so I served as an HTTP ://520.com technical Director, others use Passion movies to attract users to enter mobile phone number deduction fee, we use passion to make friends, even high bandwidth costs have been omitted, and then I left the 520 I have created a company also want to do the same, but because of the slow movement in 04, the September moved began to do rectification, A lot of the interface is blocked directly, to the end of the company A penny also did not earn, even if it is almost a month or two, can have a lot of income, I know a technology friend of the boss of the last two months to fish more than 20 million. 01 NetEase shares only 1 U.S. dollars, and then because the SP's income in 03 began to soar, the Chinese stock market yongping should thank the mobile invented at that time that way, hehe. I also often say with friends, in that era, really is China Mobile saved the Chinese Internet.

4,2005-2008, the website Alliance gradually decline, during a large number of AdSense rely on Google cheat to earn dollars, I feel disdain did not touch.

5, system disk, URL station. The most flourishing time should be about 2008 years, in the past, we do Web site feel is not so easy to make money, and then Baidu began to site cents, several big such as tomato garden, rain forest wind, etc. are monthly tens income, to tell the truth I have shaken for this direction several times, a lot of friends to find I want to do system disk, Then guide the volume to the website station, and then to the Baidu to collect money. But as the tomato garden was caught in 08, I was adamant about the principle of not touching anything illegal. Web site I also did a period of time, if I can use the amount of the 1 million or 2 million IP no problem, but finally stopped, eventually feel not their main business.

In fact, the opportunity has always been, 08 although did not do the system disk and Web site, but saw the web game this direction. Also lucky this time to do it without hesitation, although in this process has also experienced the money spent everywhere for the wages of the situation, but insisted on a right direction, and finally survived. In the past, I often feel that I have lost too many opportunities, feel sorry, now think back, some things like the day is doomed, the only thing we can do is constantly accumulating, waiting for a suitable opportunity for you to come!
