Programmers usually have to pick up outsourcing, part-time jobs or something. Now let me tell you about my experience, to give you a little more experience.
I am a little nervous about my economy due to my free business. Fantasy can be part-time contact work dry dry, to help fill the economy. By chance, I learned that some boss has a project and is looking for a technical partner. I wouldn’t want to be a partner that much, but I’d like to see something I could do to earn a few more dimes. So after several matchmaking, about to meet in a Starbucks in Shenzhen.
Project introduction
After meeting, the first thing is to learn about the product. Because I have done some homework before, I have a basic understanding of the other party’s products. It is a website that statistics teenagers’ reading. The blogger has also made a website in partnership with others before, and knows that the biggest difficulty in running a website is not technical problems, but traffic. After a good website, no one to visit is the most frustrating. But this time I was very focused on just two things: 1) What else was there to do. 2) How much the boss is willing to pay.
Every venture is a bitter history of blood and tears
The project was established in 2015. The boss sensed the business opportunity of the Internet and decided to sell the real estate in Shenzhen to start his own business. It has been more than three years now. Money’s long gone. There’s no money left to feed the team. It has not been long since the project was launched, and profitability is far from assured. This experience, and the blogger how similar. In Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, there are too many such cases. We see that a few giants of the scenery is infinite, but did not want to collapse of the company has been covered all over. The boss burned a total of more than 5 million yuan on the project, not much money, but it has exhausted all the boss’s savings, it is really a night back before liberation.
Business model
The project has the endorsement of the local library, so the statistics on children’s reading can be pushed forward. The boss’s idea is to get as much valuable data as possible early on and monetize it later. At present, gradually established and education bureau, school relations, progress is also gradually accelerated. The boss says the current user growth is fast and the market is already paying off. There is a difference will do the public number of partners come in, through the public number user cash. I was so excited to hear it.
Profit model
The boss plans to sell valuable statistical reports to parents and schools, and then organize experts to give professional lectures to schools. In the later period, when the number of users increases to a certain extent, it sells books to users and builds a second-hand book sales platform to achieve the purpose of profit. During the whole exchange, my boss described to me a vast business empire. Like I’m gonna make hundreds of millions less if I don’t join them. My joining the company is the most important step in its strategy. Make money from users by collecting big data of students and parents.
Cooperation mode
At the beginning, I was attracted by this semi-public model, which I thought might attract a lot of users. I was interested in users from the beginning, and I thought it might be interesting to discover the value of users. The boss put forward to let me cooperate with the way to develop the public number, wait until the user realizable and then divided. I promised my boss on the spot to go back and think about it.
After the analysis of
In the whole process of communication, I got several aspects of information. 1) The company has run out of money to make new investments in research and development. It doesn’t fit my vision. I’m just looking for a part-time job. It’s important to keep in mind where you’re coming from. 2) I found on the company’s website that there are 90,000 registered users at present, which is still a minority website with low realization expectation. 3) The technical team has been disbanded, and the likelihood of website maintenance being a predictable mess is high enough that you can’t devote your time and energy to it.
So in the end, I politely declined the boss’s invitation. I sympathize with his experience. Those who have experienced the pain of entrepreneurship will know how to cherish and respect others more.
