One of the series of e-business thinking: When is the profit model?

One of the series of E-commerce thinking.

When should the profit model be considered? Web site planning When you should think good profit model? Or wait for the flow up to find a profit model?

If you are an ordinary person like me, it is best to make a profit model before doing a website, and know how to make money from the website clearly.

There are two kinds of situations, you can wait for the flow up and then consider the profit model.

1 You are a genius

It could be a technical genius, like the founder of Google. It could also be endurance genius, like Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/16465.html ">craigslist founder Craig Newmark.

Even if it is not a genius, it has to be a very good person, can come up with other people think of ideas, and can use their own technology to achieve it.

I think China also has a lot of such technical talent, rely on their own skills, think of a good idea, and then their own programming. The reason why not to consider the profit model, because the cost is low, do not need to get a team, back on a big burden. Write your own program, a server began. And it can last for a long time, until the day of explosive growth.

Such Internet legends have misled many people.

2 You can finance

Some people are familiar with the venture capital before doing the Internet, or know the Big Boss, or in the traditional industry has made money, or their own early reputation, in short, money for them is not a problem. Such people do the website, by the concept can Shenra to the money to support a few years. Sometimes, a few years down the line will really be able to explore a superb profit model. Some years later disappeared, such a number of sites are also indispensable.

Like ant nets. Occasionally go to ant net to see, feel oneself a bit retarded, always can't make clear what I should do on this website, this website wants to do again. There can be investments in wheat fields that can continue to explore for at least one or two years. Social networking is definitely a trend, and when it's time to explore it.

But before you do the website ask yourself, are you a genius? Can you get an investment? If not, you are the same as I common webmaster, preferably from the beginning to find a profit model. With a clear profit model, in the design of Web sites and promotional sites, there is a clear direction.

The profit pattern is different, the means is also different correspondingly. Profit model to a large extent determines the goal of the site (later to meet the site objectives). The website goal has decided many designs, the promotion direction.

Of course, this is not to say that the profit model that has just started is unchanged. In fact, many Web sites in the development process, the profit model will change. For example, the beginning of advertising-oriented, but gradually from the user to see a certain demand, they can meet this demand, it produced a new profit point.

There is a paradox here. Those who can make a fortune are often those that have just started without a profit model, like Google. And from the very beginning to sell products profitable site, rarely can do that degree. But this paradox is not difficult to solve, because the probability of being a genius is less than one out of 10,000, let's just ignore the possibility.
