1. Domain name investment
Around 2000, PC Internet emerged in China, and some people with investment vision began to notice that the domain name business was feasible. For example, Cai Wensheng, who started 58, started by investing in domain names. There is also Dai Yue, who started registering domain names around 2000. He holds various two-letter and three-letter boutique domain names. The domain name funds in his hands are more than 300 million yuan. He is a very insightful investor.
You may think that the era of domain name investment has passed, but in fact, the rise of the metaverse and blockchain in the past two years has set off a wave in the domain name industry. In the future, the virtual world domain name will exist in another form. The current APP or mini program must have a domain name as a basis.
2. Build a personal blog
We mentioned that the future is the era of personal IP. In the early stage, you can rely on a third-party video platform. After a long time, you will definitely not be free. You can't say a lot on other people's platforms, and you will be blocked. The popular Dongfang Selection is now building its own channels. Lu Songsong has been blogging for more than 20 years. He is a representative of personal blogs and is still doing it. With his personal blog, he has jumped from a rural boy to a Beijing local.
3. Build a website
It is more complicated to build a website than a blog, and the cost will be higher. Personal blogs can use open source programs. After downloading, manually installing is a set of programs. Tools are required to download them again. There are paid and free ones.
To build a website, you need to buy a server, plan website pages, write code, write plans, maintain the website and update content. The price of this set is more than 50,000 yuan, and you need to be very knowledgeable about technology.
In short, it is not impossible for an individual to build a website. The website operators and programmers I know all have their own websites and servers. They have also made money.

The registration fee for one year is between 9-88 yuan, mainly depending on the domain name suffix. .top is more convenient, and the registration price is 9 yuan. The renewal fee for the second year is between 52-199, depending on what kind of domain name is registered.

In fact, most of the time, good first-hand domain names are not available to ordinary people. Most of them have been registered by professional players. They are professional intermediaries who make a profit from the price difference. This is a business, and existence is reasonable. As long as you are willing, you can buy it from them at a medium price. The price is relatively expensive, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands. It depends on the domain name valuation.
More than 10 years ago, I didn’t know that domain names could still be purchased. When the boss asked me to register a domain name, various tests found that there were not many suitable ones, so I registered a long domain name of 8 letters. It is too difficult to optimize the website. So, here I remind everyone that if you find that the domain name you like has been registered, you can leave your contact information and we will help you communicate. It will definitely be what you want.
