Looking back on the development of Internet in China in the past two decades, it is like a beast, which not only devours the way of information dissemination, but also reshapes our understanding of the flow and creation of wealth. From narrowband dialing to the 5G era, every leap in the network is accompanied by new opportunities to make money. Today, let me take you through those crazy internet times and explore the stories behind them.
SP times
Remember SP (Service Provider)? You may have forgotten it, but your wallet may remember it. In that era when short messages were still worth a few cents, a small seductive short message was enough to make you unconsciously subscribe to a paid service. Websites and chat rooms are full of such drainage methods, so some early players make more money. However, with the improvement of network security awareness, the golden age of SP gradually faded after 2006.
Advertising alliance Times
Subsequently, advertising alliance sprang up like mushrooms after rain. Webmasters can easily achieve monthly income through alliances such as Google and Baidu, especially when Google just entered the China market, a simple mutual brushing operation can bring a lot of benefits. With the launch of Baidu Alliance, you can get cash rewards by inviting webmasters to join, and a game about realizing traffic is officially opened.
Taobao guest times
The year 2009 is a watershed, and the taobao guest model has made many people see another possibility. A post about Taobao Crown Store can spread wildly on social networks, bringing millions of benefits to the author. On the search engine, keywords related to Taobao have become a battleground for military strategists, and it has also given birth to many great gods who have made a fortune through the Internet.
Bidding era
When bidding advertisements became mainstream, some players who were good at SEO and SEM discovered the new continent. I remember a friend who won 10 thousand by bidding every day for two years. However, this has also spawned more controversy. Master trainers like A Jun teach skills through high-priced courses, but they also have a mixed reputation.
Wechat business times
By 20 14, the WeChat business is like crucian carp crossing the river, and the circle of friends has become a stage for displaying goods. Although people scoffed at this at first, they had to admit that the powerful country of WeChat business did make a lot of money from it. With the passage of time, the self-regulation function of the market began to appear, and only those WeChat merchants who really had good products survived.
MLM era
The rise of mobile internet has also created a new hotbed for network pyramid selling. Financial mutual aid platform and virtual currency have become a new round of hot spots, and names such as Baichuan Financial Coin and MMM Financial Mutual Aid Platform have become famous for a time. They promise high returns, but they are actually just traditional pyramid schemes in the cloak of the Internet.

On the way to making money on the Internet, there is never a lack of stories. We may not be able to go back to the past, but we can learn from these experiences, be wary of those over-beautified online earning schemes, persist in creating value, and meet the new challenges belonging to this era with a clear mind.
This is an era of crazy online earning in the eyes of old Internet drivers. I hope it can inspire you and remind us not to lose our original heart in the pursuit of wealth.
