Do you think it's important to love what you do?
Yeah, absolutely. There has to be passion for the product.
So it's the product that's important?
Again yeah – get the product right and everything else is simple. The marketing will look after itself. This is
why the net has produced so many successful amateurs – the marketing is done by "word of mouth" so to
speak, people just tell each other about a site that's cool, especially through networking sites like MySpace and
Facebook.
Marketing isn't important?
Well, of course it is, I’m sure there are marketing amateurs out there too – people who love what they do!
But I firmly believe that you can't market a poor product. That's essential.
Your father was a successful businessman too, and you studied at Cambridge. Does having such a
background help?
I'm from a wealthy family, yeah, I've never denied it. That helps, obviously. It's given me time, time above
all is the most important thing, time to experiment and make mistakes and not have to worry too much. But
that's not a key thing in the rise of the amateur.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I am. "Love not money"...that's my motto!
Thanks.
你覺(jué)得去喜歡自己的工作這點(diǎn)是不是很重要?
那當(dāng)然是一定的。醞釀產(chǎn)品的過(guò)程中熱情可是必不可少的。
你是說(shuō)重要的是產(chǎn)品?
像我剛才說(shuō)的那樣,是的 – 如果產(chǎn)品做到位了,其他的一切也就很簡(jiǎn)單了。之后的市場(chǎng)也就水到渠成了。那也是為什么網(wǎng)絡(luò)產(chǎn)生出這么多成功業(yè)余愛好者的原因 – 就是說(shuō)市場(chǎng)是靠“口口相傳”來(lái)做的,一個(gè)地方很贊的話,人們就會(huì)互相轉(zhuǎn)告,尤其是通過(guò)像MySpace和Facebook這類社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)的方式。
市場(chǎng)難道不重要嗎?
嗯,當(dāng)然不是。我肯定我們身邊可有不少這些做市場(chǎng)的業(yè)余愛好者 – 喜歡自己工作的人!但是我堅(jiān)信你不可能為一個(gè)很蹩腳的產(chǎn)品找到好銷路。那是基本原則。
你父親過(guò)去也是個(gè)成功的商人,而且你上過(guò)劍橋大學(xué)。你的這些背景對(duì)你有幫助嗎?
我家里經(jīng)濟(jì)條件是很好,是啊,我對(duì)此也不曾否認(rèn)過(guò)。它對(duì)我確實(shí)有幫助。我的背景讓我有時(shí)間,時(shí)間可是特別重要的,讓我有時(shí)間去試練去犯錯(cuò),不用顧慮太多。但是要成為一個(gè)業(yè)余愛好者的話,這都不是關(guān)鍵因素。
你確定真是這樣?
我確定。我的人生格言就是…“錢財(cái)比不上,有愛才重要“。
謝謝
