Chapter 42 Software Downloads
On the first day after the launch of the "tutor", the number of downloads of the software was only 52, which shows that just posting advertisements on forums has little effect.
This kind of fisherman's net-like advertising has no effect, and many ads may be deleted as soon as they are sent, and the promoter is also banned. Only some pre-written advertising advertorials have been retained, but only a few people have seen them.
The next day, there were 74 downloads, which was still very dismal.
Li Hao couldn't help but sigh secretly, who said that "the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys"? Even such excellent software will be temporarily dusty, but I don't know how long this stage of "raising in the depths of the boudoir" will be.
On the third day, the number of downloads improved slightly, reaching 229. On the fourth day, the number of downloads ushered in a blowout, and the number of downloads for the whole day was 892. After the first batch of downloaders tried it, they thought the effect was amazing and recommended it to other friends. There are also individual parents who have discovered the value of this software and talked about it with relatives and colleagues, bringing a large number of new customers to download and try it.
From day 5 onwards, the number of downloads snowballed. 1746 on the fifth day, 3599 on the sixth day, 5328 on the 7th day, 7284 on the eighth day,
Since then, the growth rate of downloads has slowed, but it is still steadily climbing. The "Governess" website forum has gradually gained some popularity, and people have started to exchange their experiences of using "Governess", and everyone has praised the software. And the most unsatisfactory thing is that the probationary period of the "tutor" is too short, only three weeks and 21 days.
After three Mondays, people who have not topped up will no longer be able to use the "tutor". The software can recognize the machine code of the computer, and it is not possible to change the registered account, unless the new account is registered at the same time as the new computer, there will be a 21-day trial period again. But even so, the registered account is changed, the original archive cannot be read, a series of data such as teaching progress have to be regenerated, and the test exercises have to be redone, which is very troublesome.
In just a few days of trial, the "tutor" has cultivated hundreds of die-hard customers, and anyone who questioned the software on the forum was trampled on by them.
Of course, the people who questioned it were people who had never tried it, and when they heard everyone praise it in unison, they also downloaded and tried it, and soon they also became staunch supporters of "home teachers".
The number of downloads, registered accounts, and online users of "Home Tutor" continues to climb every day. When Li Ying is not in class every day, she always logs in to the background of the website repeatedly, constantly refreshing and viewing, and she is happiest to watch these data constantly refreshed.
Of course, it is even happier to log in to the online banking to check the company's account, and sometimes every time you refresh the website, the account has more money.
Li Ying was so happy that she was laughing in her dreams.
From the time the "tutor" was launched, someone began to pay on the third day. Of course, at this time, the payment will only start after the end of the 21-day trial period.
Tutor software is charged on a monthly basis, with a minimum of a one-month top-up.
The tutor series software is actually not cheap, the preschool version costs 80 yuan per month, the primary school version is 120 yuan per month, the junior high school version and high school version are 180 yuan per month, and the university version is 198 yuan
At first glance, the price doesn't seem to be very high, but in fact, it's not that I don't know, and I'm shocked. If you continue to use it for a year, the primary school version is 1440 yuan, and the middle school version is 2160 yuan, which is really not cheap.
That's just a year's worth of use, and if you use it for a few years, it's quite expensive.
In this era of software popularization, few software dares to set such a high price. Of course, this price cannot be compared with commercial large-scale software, some sets of large-scale software systems are in the millions, but that kind of software can't sell many sets a year. For personal software, it costs one or two thousand yuan a year, which is really expensive.
But this pricing is already low relative to the features of the software.
You must know that the "education expert" artificial intelligence is very powerful and can provide a full range of quality education, which is even more powerful than the real education expert. The role of a "tutor" trumps that of a real tutor. It only costs more than 100 yuan a month, can you hire an expert-level tutor?
In terms of demand, the country has a huge population, from kindergarten to university, and the total number of students is estimated to be more than 200 million. Parents in Huaxia have always been very willing to spend money on their children. "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world", if you can really make your children become talents, which parent is not willing to pay this money?
It's a huge market, but it will take a long time to convert potential users into actual customers.
Li Hao has been in the main world for a short time for the online operation of "Tutor", and this day is already the eighth day of the software launch.
After the Force cultivation was over this day, her sister Li Ying called: "Brother, I want to tell you a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”
Li Hao smiled: "Listening to your voice, it is clear that you are very happy, how can there be any bad news?" Let's talk about it. ”
"Well, let's start with the good news. As of 8:23:05 p.m. today, there were more than 500 paying subscribers of 'tutors', and a total of more than 70,000 yuan had been received in their accounts. It's amazing, how many days has it been? And it's still a long way before the end of the first free trial, and now 500 people are paying. ”
"It's a good start, keep up the good work."
Li Ying added: "It's the turn to say bad news, the user growth is too fast, and our servers are overwhelmed. During the rush hour last night, a small number of users reported that the speed was particularly slow, and the customer service phone was about to be blown up this morning, and there was a lot of scolding. ”
"This is bad news on the surface, but in the end, it is good news, just pay attention to it in the future. Is the technical staff recruitment in place, I will soon have other things to be busy, and the maintenance and addition of the server in the future will be done by the company's people. ”
Li Ying sighed and said: "I sent a recruitment information in the talent market, and I received a lot of resumes today, but I don't know computer technology, I don't know what their level is, so you can pick some people for an interview on the phone." ”
Let's do it yourself.,Although the recruited administrator doesn't need to be very skilled.,But you have to check it.。 "Okay, I'll take care of this."
"Brother, I'm going to spend money on some promotion. Advertisements are placed in magazines for some elementary and middle school students, and also on some educational websites. In addition, I also want to hype up on several large forums, the company's promoters are divided into two parties, all wearing five or six vests, one of which praises the software, and the other scolds the software, and the two sides go to war to attract people to try it. ”
Li Hao smiled and said: "Didn't you say that you have six positions, including the position of general manager." Don't talk about such small things, no matter how big things are, the general manager can decide. ”
"I'm using the university version of the software myself, and I think it's great! I'm afraid that others won't come to try it, and as long as they do, most of them will be willing to spend money. Li Ying said distressedly, "But I racked my brains, and I couldn't think of a better way to attract people to try it." ”
"This one...... In fact, when it comes to marketing, you are not good at it, and I am not good at it, but some people are very good at it. They have a lot of experience and success stories, all you need to do is recruit them to your team, provide a good environment and treatment, and let them do their best work. When you help your brother take care of this company, the most important thing is not that you do it yourself, but that you can recognize and employ people. ”
Li Ying was stunned for a moment, "You mean that I don't have to think about it myself, just take care of my subordinates, is this to let me be the leader?" ”
Li Hao smiled: "Of course, you are the general manager of 'six positions'." Remember Liu Bang's famous saying? In the midst of the husband's strategy, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, I am not as good as the ovary; Town the country, care for the people, give wages, endless food, I am not as good as Xiao He; Even an army of millions, the battle will be won, the attack must be taken, I am not as good as Han Xin. These three people are all outstanding people, I can use them, so I take the world. ”
"This ...... It's ten times harder than doing it yourself. ”
"It's not such an exaggeration, the company is technical, even if the management is poor, it can still make money, but it doesn't make so much. Rest assured, this software is so advanced that no one has been able to imitate it for quite some time. "In fact, the current technology of artificial intelligence on the earth is too backward to be imitated.
Li Ying hesitated: "Now I can already see that the company's expansion will be very fast, and soon the scale will be very large, and there will be a lot of people, I'm afraid I can't manage it." I...... I don't have much faith in that. Brother, it's up to you to be the general manager of the six positions. ”
"I really don't have time."
Li Yingqi said: "What are you busy with, you don't have time for such an important thing as starting a company." ”
"After a while, if you look at the news about the math major, you will know what your brother is up to."
"Mysterious." Li Ying knows her brother's surname, if he doesn't want to say it for the time being, it's useless to ask.
Li Hao said again: "It seems that it won't be long before the company can get on track, and you have to recruit people from various departments." He can no longer hold six hats. ”
Li Ying is already very confident in the company's development prospects, knowing that after the trial period of the first batch of people, there will be a peak of recharge. At that time, the income will increase significantly, and the salaries of the personnel and the rent of the company will not be stressed at all. Moreover, the software fee is in the form of advance payment, and the company has sufficient cash.
Now that we do have the conditions to recruit people, we must also start looking for headhunters and looking for some senior professional managers. Li Ying is self-aware, this general manager is really incapable of doing it herself, let alone "holding six positions".
