I followed others to become an Internet cafe and earned nearly one million a month, but 90% of the profit came from my games.

Nowadays, many people in many areas are working as Internet cafes. News reports are everywhere, with monthly incomes of 500,000 to 600,000 yuan in Shenzhen. This has led to more people becoming Internet cafes. Are Internet cafes really that profitable? I can tell you from personal experience. I opened an Internet cafe in the urban area of a third-tier city for a year. Before that, my daily income was only two to three thousand yuan. I saw on the Internet that Internet cafes were profitable and the market was different. Internet cafes in the districts were also opened one after another, so I started to open an Internet cafe last year. In terms of decoration style, hardware equipment, and services, I have referred to other Internet cafes. It is even better. I dare not say that it is far superior to other Internet cafes in the city, but it will definitely be better.
When it first opened, it attracted a lot of curious customers but they didn’t spend much money. In the past half month, my income has become worse. After some research, I found that the people who come here are usually students and young white-collar workers who come here to play games for two or three hours after school or get off work. They have no other consumption and are better than The Internet fees that have been several times higher in the past have also made people less and less interested in such Internet cafes, which are no different from the Internet cafes of the past. Following the advice of my friends, I promoted the competition organized by the Internet cafe in schools and in some office buildings. During the competition, my income did increase several times. Later, I started to hold such activities often, two or three times a month. As the reputation of Internet cafes grows, so do the number of people. But after three months of liquidation, I found that the monthly profit was only about 100,000, so it would take nearly two years to recover the capital! And we still don’t know what the survival situation of Internet cafes will be like in two years.
After that, I began to work hard to find other business methods on the Internet. For Internet cafes, the most common words I saw were player monetization, traffic monetization, and games. I think it makes sense. Internet cafes cannot do without games if they want to make money, because the loyal customers of Internet cafes are all game enthusiasts. Internet cafes attract users who play games on computers, but users who play games on mobile phones cannot be reached at all! I can definitely advertise mobile games on the computers in my Internet cafe to transfer these computer game players to mobile games!
I collected a lot of information and consulted some experts. We, a small Internet cafe, can't make those large games on the market. We don't have that much money and can only do chess and card games. I bought a fast game and used various methods to promote it in Internet cafes, schools, and office buildings. I didn't expect chess and card games. It worked so quickly. Within one month, I gathered 1 player, and my profit in three months has exceeded 10,000 yuan. My profits are pretty good at the moment.
In the past, the reason why the nondescript fast running game was profitable was because there were no competing products in my territory, but now many people are doing the local fast running game. I plan to join as an agent for the new product "Circle Niu Niu" produced by this company. The game is quite unique and the investment is very low. It is a social mobile game based on Niu Niu. Players can invite WeChat, Contacts, Weibo and play together, and can also conduct text and voice chat during the game. The popularity of the Niu Niu game in our area depends on the games and Internet cafe users I have accumulated in the past. The profitability should be much better than running fast.
Many people always talk about transformation, but transformation does not necessarily lead to profit. Making small money depends on hard work, and making big money depends on methods. If you want to find a method, you have to understand the cause and effect and the market. Therefore, I advise those who want to transform into Internet cafes or have already become Internet cafes to find some mobile games to play. I can guarantee that they will make more profits than Internet cafes.
