Chapter 1716: Competitors
WHEN QIN FENG WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW TO MAKE MONEY, DIMON HAD BEGUN TO PROMOTE FACEBOOK (FACEBOOK) IN MAJOR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE OF LIN FENG'S PROMISE.
AT THE SAME TIME, ALL MAJOR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN THE UNITED STATES APPEARED LEAFLETS ABOUT FACEBOOK.
THE ADVERTISEMENT PRINTED ON THE FLYER IS NOT COMPLICATED, IT IS VERY SIMPLE, EXCEPT FOR A PICTURE OF A MAN AND WOMAN MEETING A DATE THROUGH FACEBOOK, WHICH IS THE SLOGAN OF FACEBOOK: FACEBOOK, GIVE YOU A NEW WAY OF LIFE.
For young people, it has always been the pursuit of unconventionality.
Obviously, such an advertising slogan is very popular.
In particular, Dimon hired 10 young, beautiful, hot-bodied female students at each college and university at $15 an hour to distribute advertising leaflets in bikinis.
NOT ONLY THAT, BUT EACH BIKINI BEAUTIE ALSO HAS A NAMEPLATE WITH THEIR FACEBOOK USERNAME ON IT, AND INDICATES THAT AS LONG AS THEY ADD THEM AS FRIENDS DURING THEIR PROMOTION PERIOD, THEY CAN APPLY THROUGH FRIENDS.
This initiative is undoubtedly very popular.
Especially for college students, this is even more of a stimulus.
In this world, men and women are equally divided.
However, men are undoubtedly the dominant gender in this world.
There are many things that men will be happy to try.
And for the pursuit of the opposite sex, especially the pursuit of beautiful women, men are extremely active.
In the face of 10 bikini beauties, there is almost no one to refuse.
BOTH EXTROVERTED AND INTROVERTED MEN ARE HAPPY TO SIGN UP FOR A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT AND ADD THEIR FRIENDS.
AND THIS DIRECTLY BRINGS HUGE TRAFFIC TO FACEBOOK.
On the first day, the number of registrations exceeded 50,000.
Before that, Harvard's total enrollment was less than 5,000.
And these 5,000 people are almost all IT-related teachers and students.
THEREFORE, IN DIMON'S VIEW, QIN FENG'S PREVIOUS VARIOUS PROPAGANDA ALMOST TURNED FACEBOOK (FACEBOOK) INTO AN IT SECTOR. And this is very bad.
Because, in the IT industry, both men and women, most of them are relatively dull, introverted, and unsociable.
If you let them go online, they won't necessarily interact much online.
In particular, there are few handsome men and women among IT people. This is not conducive to social media interaction.
Therefore, Dimon adopted this "seduction" method and used bikini female college students to attract popularity.
And so far, it seems to be very successful.
And the price paid by Dimon is very low.
A female college student who works no more than six hours a day. $15 an hour, $90 a day. 10 female college students at a university have a total of $900 a day.
Dimon hired female college students from one of the top 100 colleges and universities in the United States, which would cost him just $90,000 a day.
And on the first day, it brought in 50,000 users.
That's almost $1.8 to bring in a user.
Of course, this is a bit high. But Dimon believes that over time, this is a snowballing way, and more and more.
This conversion ratio will also get higher and higher.
As for the question, are these female college students happy to wear bikinis to advertise?
Of course I do.
You know, the legal hourly wage in the United States is only $7.5 today. And Dimon offered double the hourly wage, $15, which is a very high price.
You don't do it, more people do it.
In particular, it doesn't take much to do anything. Just wearing a bikini and handing out leaflets everywhere. THEN, ASK PEOPLE TO JOT DOWN THEIR FACEBOOK SOCIAL ACCOUNTS.
OF COURSE, THE EXTRA WORK IS THAT THESE GIRLS HAVE TO POST SOME MESSAGES OR PHOTOS ON FACEBOOK EVERY DAY.
With such a simple thing, you can make $90 a day, which is a good deal.
In particular, it only works six hours.
The next day, the number of registrations exceeded 150,000. It increased by 90,000 a day.
This conversion ratio becomes $1, bringing in a customer.
On the third day, the number of registrations exceeded 300,000.
This time, the conversion ratio becomes $0.6 to bring a customer.
On the fourth day, Dimon found Qin Feng.
"The company's funds can be supported for two days, and in two days, you have to get $3 million. "I have bigger plans." ”
Qin Feng bared his teeth.
The Nasdaq hasn't gone crazy yet.
"Doesn't it mean that the number of registrants is guaranteed to reach 1 million within a month? I think it's 300,000 now!" Qin Feng said, "The task should be completed!"
"I set my target too low. I hope that within a month, the number of registrations will exceed 10 million!" Dimon said.
Qin Feng was stunned.
You must know that with such a large population base in Huaxia, it took several months for QQ to break through 10 million members.
This month, 10 million, is a bit exaggerated.
"Of course it's not just the United States. It's global. This time I'm aiming for the world. "I WANT TO MAKE FACEBOOK A GLOBAL SOCIAL MEDIA APP IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME." ”
"Why is it so urgent?" Lin Feng was puzzled.
There's no need to rush it.
"Because there's a competitor!" Dimon said.
Competitors?
"You should know ICQ and MSN!" Dimon said.
Qin Feng nodded.
"And the bosses behind these two companies, you should also know. Dimon continued.
Qin Feng nodded.
ICQ's current boss is AOL, while MSN is Microsoft.
Any questions?
"Then you should know that their two companies have lost in Huaxia. Defeated by your QQ. Dimon said.
Qin Feng nodded.
After all, QQ is much simpler, more convenient, and more adaptable to China.
"They failed in China and don't want to fail again at home. I GOT THE WORD THAT THEY'RE GOING TO LAUNCH THEIR NEW SOCIAL MEDIA APP FOR FACEBOOK. Dimon said, "It can be said that we originally had no rivals, but because of your relationship, now we have competitors!"
Qin Feng bared his teeth.
What is this?
No, it doesn't count. After all, the two sides have had a grudge before.
However, Qin Feng took the lead at the beginning. Social media software, that's it. Once you take the lead, as long as you don't make mistakes, it is difficult for latecomers to surpass.
"So, we have to get ahead of the curve. Don't think that 300,000 users is a lot now. YOU KNOW, FACEBOOK DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF STICKINESS AT THE MOMENT," DIMON SAID, "IT'S NOT LIKE YOUR QQ, PEOPLE ARE DIRECTLY CONNECTED THROUGH QQ." AT PRESENT, FACEBOOK IS ONLY USED TO POST PERSONAL INFORMATION AND MAKE FRIENDS. User stickiness is very low. Once the other party is willing to spend money to enter the market, we are easily defeated. ”
"So, in two days, 3 million arrived!" Dimon said.
Qin Feng's eggs really hurt.
There is indeed money on the account. However, if this is given, the principal of the gold mine that you want to dig in the NASDAQ will be less.
