I Am a Nobleman in England

Making money has always been a happy thing.

It's just that all kinds of moralists, all kinds of prudence, in order to cover up their lust and pursuit of money, spent thousands of years bluntly, instilling in people that money is evil, and money worship is undesirable.

Arthur was quite touched by this, especially when he was a codewriter in his previous life, money represented other people's affirmation of you. To put it bluntly, if you don't write well, no one will give you money if you want it.

A famous host once said, "Before the age of 30, talking about dreams and not life is naive, it is a s***. After 30, talking only about dreams and not life is irresponsible and incompetent."

There is no shame in admitting that you are poor, but the scary thing is that there are still people who say with a shy face: "I am poor, but I am happy."

Really can only haha!

"... I repeat, our goal is "simplicity first", no bells and whistles..."

In the conference room of the photo wall APP studio, after listening to the report, Arthur reiterated the problem that some developers proposed to add functions.

"Individuality can bring value. Photo Wall APP itself is a mobile application with picture sharing as the main function, in order to allow players to share life memories in the form of pictures anytime, anywhere. Operation process, photo, filter, description, share.

Coupled with interactive attention, likes, and comments, this is enough, even more than enough.

Of course, I also understand that just because simplicity comes first doesn't mean our solution will always work. We should also develop products in an open manner, establish clear team goals, and rapidly develop user groups.

However, these are not what we need to consider now. What we need to consider now is to complete the test as soon as possible and put it on the market. This is why I only ask you to develop the version under the IOS system and not the Android version at the same time.

focus! "

Arthur looked around the conference room with sharp eyes and a serious face. After a week, he continued: "To develop our single platform, we need to be more focused and iterate faster, because all functions do not need to be implemented twice. This is what we often say "Do less is better".

When the day came to go multi-platform, we just had to create a small team of experienced Android developers and two new Android developers. After a while, we had a full-fledged Android team,

It can make our app more compatible with the Android platform.

So, you don't need to worry, and don't doubt that I haven't thought about this issue, which is why, from the very beginning of development, I asked you to build a scriptable basic framework.

I also know that having a scriptable base framework is a lot of upfront work and can waste some time, but I let you figure it out anyway because once it's built, it's extremely beneficial for new engineers and can be useful for future developers. Provide assistance for disaster recovery that may occur. "

The photo wall APP has already started the internal testing phase of the mobile phone. However, it is precisely because it has entered the countdown to the launch that the employees of the studio have various new ideas and debates about free and charging issues.

In this regard, Arthur had to hold a meeting to resolve these doubts and disputes. The IT studio should have a flat management, and everyone is equal. It advocates speaking loudly, finding solutions to problems in disputes, and even Leapfrog directly to give advice to the boss.

However, what is the matter? In the general direction of the company's development, there can only be one voice, and the one who controls the rudder can only be the captain!

Arthur looked at the meeting room, everyone nodded to show that he understood his thoughts, and then he talked about the issue of whether the APP fee is free or not. To be honest, many social platforms or software seem to have no idea how to make money from users. , neither twitter nor facebook have solved this problem.

As a camera app, it seems that there is nothing wrong with charging. However, Arthur's purpose is not to let people take pictures with the photo wall, but to share and build a social JIAO platform.

TOLL? How can we quickly develop users and seize the market!

"As for the question of whether to charge or not, my answer is free." Arthur did not hesitate, but made a very clear and firm decision, "Now the mobile Internet is at the peak of development, and mobile advertising is still in the process of exploration In the process, we should take a longer view, consider the long-term value of the product more, analyze the market, adjust the product to the final commercialization process to achieve a smooth transition, and quick success often only leads to the loss of user groups.

To be honest, there is no shortage of excellent APPs in the current application market, but at the current stage of development, many of them are still in a non-profit state. Referring to the case of Facebook, the current application can take more factors into product innovation, and establish a relationship with users. friendly and loyal relationship, and the commercialization process of actively deploying products.

I have also heard you mentioned before that our photo wall is most suitable for posting image advertisements, and we can use advertisements to make money. Indeed, this is also the way I think of making money, but advertising is different from advertising. Even if we want to use advertising to make money, it must not be that kind of hard advertising.

because. If we simply use our photo wall app to publish hard ads, it will inevitably cause the loss of our software users, which is tantamount to asking for a dead end for an app.

Therefore, we need to consider the audience's feelings more in the screening of advertisements on our platform. At that time, the content or advertisements published by enterprises on our platform cannot be simply called advertisements. It needs to integrate the community atmosphere, Merging product and audience together is a new form of advertising creativity.

Moreover, our advertising strategy is also to keep it small and precise, and establish long-term cooperation. In the future, users of the photo wall APP will see high-quality pictures and video advertisements from specific brands. . . . . . "

Arthur shared his thoughts and plans with his subordinates, so that they can unify their thinking, stop wasting time on these issues, and focus more on making the product better.

In fact, the reason for this kind of controversy, to a certain extent, is that this group of subordinates subconsciously questioned the young boss. After all, Arthur was too young.

Because, no matter how successful Arthur is, how high his social status is, his culture and education level, in the subconscious of a group of high-achieving students, there will always be a trace of suspicion and doubt, coupled with his age, it would be the same for anyone , this is human nature.

This is like the former Alima, who wore the hat of a liar for so many years, was ridiculed and isolated by many people, and the situation was not reversed until he really succeeded.

Although Arthur is currently considered very successful, he has always been wearing a lucky hat. To be truly recognized by everyone, to be honest, there is still a long way to go.

A legend needs the test of time and achievements!
