Preface: Ten years ago, I was a little ignorant kid. Built my first music website on the school computer, pure Handmade web site to create a campus miracle; eight years ago, the opening of a well-known orchestra of the fan forum operation so far, the total number of members reached 80,000, PR to 6, members of the orchestra to the website exchange and message, become the orchestra's most authoritative fan site worldwide; now, I start again, create my lily nets, a beautiful picture sharing community, hoping to recreate the miracle.

This decade's story, I want to A5 on the platform to share it to everyone, perhaps a little inspiration for you, perhaps a little inspirational, perhaps you can find and your similar experience moved.

Time comes to the summer of 2004 years. The completion of the junior major courses, senior curriculum is easy to be known. And our school is good (XJTU), almost every year since September, there are companies in the recruitment, I am not too worried about finding a job this matter. So I like to visit the forum at that time, at the end of the Earth, mop in the presence of divers, every day the fun is to find some favorite topic, and then with live or something.

04 August, a band called The Flying Son Orchestra suddenly fire, the streets are all over their songs. And I was a music site because I was doing it, and I liked it the first time I heard their song. I suddenly had an idea to build a fan forum. At that time the fan forum in fact very few, many also uses is the free domain name as well as that kind of independent forum system, the user rarely very is deserted, basically also does not have any person to take care of. I asked myself, why not set up a special fan forum, so that I can find friends who share my interests. In view of the previous establishment of music sites using free domain name and school space was "sealed", I have determined to apply for a top-level domain name at the same time to buy a commercial space. Because of the space requirements of the Forum is small, and the domain name was only more than 10 yuan a year, so the cost is not high, for students can also bear.

I remember clearly that it was the August 9 of 2004. I in a day to the domain name space and free Discuz program, began the Forum installation, column settings, logo design and so on. But then how to attract the audience of the forum-fans to my forum to post it? Before only in the school forum has done publicity, the ID of the extranet forum because less post, the integration is not high hair link, and at that time the forum management is very strict, a similar advertising paste will be deleted. In addition, poster publicity can only be suitable for the school's website publicity. How to be good?

August 11 Forum officially launched before the two days, I try to think of the promotion strategy, in countless forums to see methods, Baidu Search, QQ to ask friends. Finally summed up a few how to let the forum grow the idea and put into practice, finally let my forum became the most authoritative orchestra fan forum. My approach is believed to provide a good reference for friends who do similar forums:

1. Before the official promotion, the content of the forum should be perfected. I thought that if a fan came to my forum and found it empty, even a die-hard fan would not be able to stay. At that time there was no collection tools, posting tools, so I spend a lot of time every day from the various news sites to search the orchestra's news and timely release in the forum, and all hand.

2, Baidu posted at the end of 2003 just launched, the band posted on the user more, but the bar is not very good browsing effect. I registered an account, every day to the forum posted on my latest release of relevant news and information. Over time, more and more fans to my forum registration and posting. At the same time, I posted a positive fan contact each, to see if there is willing to do moderators and so on, to give the title and authority is a power of the present. Those who are not proud of the user is certainly more positive, and some even volunteered to help me to paste and contact fans to my forum.

3, then appeared a competitor forum, also to stick to rob users. In the face of this situation, I main affection card. I am inside the forum outside of the publicity, said the forum is as a fan of a home, a shared community, we do not care about making money, not in Italy hype smear, do not mind other forums how to do, we just do our own things to cheer for their idol. With such a strategy, the cohesion of the fan forum has never been higher, and fans have even taken the initiative to clarify the rhetoric of the Forum. When most people think you're good, everyone knows it's not a fake. So a few months after the forum was established, the orchestra became the most authoritative forum in the world (this is not exaggerated, and there are plenty of Taiwanese, Malaysian, and Singaporean fans in the forum to prove it).

4, encourage members to help promote the forum spontaneously. In order to expand influence, we must ensure that search engines search the relevant keywords can be the first time to discover the forum, so I encourage members to spontaneously for the forum to promote the various places. And the overall atmosphere of the forum provides a good idea basis, members of all kinds of video, news stickers and so on initiative for the Forum publicity, even in their friends ring friends to the forum. Gradually, the forum has been an unprecedented development, the highest ever had 60,000 registered members, the highest online ever reached 2000 people (half Hour statistics), PR reached 6, Baidu and Google search many keywords ranked first.

This forum glorious Time, also exclusive for the orchestra to provide VIP account, the orchestra members unexpectedly often to the forum to post! Naturally, it really became the most authoritative forum. This forum, although at the end of 06 due to database damage caused by a large number of member data loss, but after the reconstruction still attracted 20,000 of people registered. This forum has existed for nearly 8 years, is still in operation, although later because of the reasons for the work I put the administrative authority to others (she has been managing from high school to 2 years after graduating from college), but every year on August 11 this day to return to the forum, send my feelings, my greetings.

The idea and idea of these website operation promotion, I have kept to today. From the moment I began to run my lily nets, I practiced them all the time:

1, treat your users well, because they are the site of God;

2, every day to think about how you do than your opponents strong, whether the content or user experience;

3, each site should have its own culture, this culture may be your operating philosophy, may also be how you choose to subdivide the market;

4, decide to do things to be brave to go down, do not hesitate more can not retreat, insist is fundamental.

The success of the fan forum gave me more confidence, and now, I take my new beautiful picture sharing community, began a new journey, not for anything else, for the hearts of the Internet dream and the last ten years has been the insistence!
