Making money has always been a joyful thing.

It's just that all kinds of defenders and all kinds of hypocrisy have spent thousands of years to instill in people that money is evil and money worship is unacceptable in order to cover up their YW and pursuit of money.

Arthur was quite touched by this, especially when he was a coder in his previous life, money represents the affirmation of others for you, to put it bluntly, you don't write well, and no one gives you money if you want it.

A famous host once said, "Before the age of 30, it is naïve and *** to only talk about dreams and not life." After the age of 30, only talking about dreams and not life is irresponsible and incompetent. ”

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

That's really all I can do about it!

“。。。 I repeat that our goal is to be 'brev' and nothing bells and whistles ... ”

In the conference room of the photo wall app studio, Arthur listened to the report and reiterated the problem of adding features proposed by some developers.

"Personality brings value. The 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 and anywhere, simple and easy to operate, providing a set of smooth operation processes, taking pictures, filters, instructions, and sharing.

Add interactive attention, likes, comments, and that's enough, and even more than enough.

Of course, I also understand that putting simplicity first doesn't mean our solutions will always work. We should also be open to product development, establish clear team goals, and quickly develop our user base.

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 launch it on the market, which 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 a sharp gaze and a serious face, and then continued: "For our single platform to develop, we need to be more focused and iterate faster, because everything does not have to be implemented twice, which is what we often say "doing less is better".

When the day came to move to multi-platform, we just needed to create a small team of experienced Android developers and two new Android developers. After a while, we have a mature Android team, which can make our app more compatible with the Android platform.

So, there's no need to rush or suspect that I haven't thought about it, which is why, from the very beginning of development, I asked you to build a scriptable framework.

I also know that having a scriptable framework requires a lot of upfront work and wastes some time, but I'm leaving it up to you to figure it out, because once it's built, it's extremely beneficial for new engineers to help with future disaster recovery. ”

The Instagram app has already started its internal testing phase, but as the countdown to the launch has begun, the studio's staff has come up with new ideas and debates about free and charged.

In this regard, Arthur had to convene a meeting to solve these doubts and arguments, and the IT studio should be flat management, where everyone is very equal, advocate speaking loudly, looking for solutions to problems in arguments, and even directly skipping the level 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 conference room, everyone nodded to show that he understood his thoughts, and then talked about the question of APP charging or free, to be honest, many social jiao platforms or software, how to make money through users seems to be still cloudy, whether it is Twitter, or Facebook, has not solved this problem.

As an app for taking pictures, it seems that there is nothing wrong with charging fees, but Arthur is not to let people take pictures with the photo wall, but to share, and establish a social JIAO platform.

How can we develop users and seize the market!

"On the question of whether it is charged 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, our vision should be further, more consideration of the long-term value of the product, analysis of the market, adjustment of the product to the final commercialization process to achieve a smooth transition, quick success often only leads to the loss of user base."

To be honest, there is no shortage of excellent apps in the current app market, but at the current stage of development, many are still in a non-profit state, referring to Facebook's case, the current app can consider more product innovation factors, establish friendly and loyal relationships with users, and actively deploy the commercialization process of products.

I've heard you mention before that our photo wall is best suited to post image ads, which you can use to make money. It's true that this is also the way I want to make money, but advertising is different from advertising, and 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 self-defeating for an app.

Therefore, we should consider the feelings of the audience more in the screening of advertisements on our platform, and at that time, the content or advertisements published by enterprises on our platform cannot simply be called advertisements, it needs to integrate the community atmosphere, integrate products and audiences, and is a new form of advertising creativity.

Moreover, our advertising strategy is also to keep it small and build long-term cooperation, so that in the future, users of the Instagram app will see high-quality image and video ads from specific brands。。。。。。 ”

Arthur told his subordinates about his ideas and plans, so that they could unify their thoughts, stop wasting time on these problems, and focus more on making the product well.

In fact, the reason for this controversy is, to a certain extent, not a subconscious question of the young boss by this group of subordinates, after all, Arthur is too young.

Because, no matter how successful Arthur is, how high his worth, his cultural and educational level, in the subconscious of a group of high-achieving students, there will always be a trace of doubt and doubt, plus his age, anyone will be like this, this is human xing.

It's like the former Arima, who wore the hat of a liar for so many years, was ridiculed and isolated by many people, until he really succeeded, and the situation was reversed.

Although Arthur is currently very successful, the lucky hat has always been on his head, and there is still a long way to go before he can truly be recognized by everyone, to be honest.

Legends need to be tested by time and achievement!
