Hello everyone, I'm Qilong, a newcomer to going overseas. I've been in this field for just over a year. At first, I knew very little about going overseas and didn't know where to start. Later, at a friend's recommendation, I joined overseas communities and groups. After joining the communities and groups, it was like opening a door to a whole new world! I never expected the overseas world to be so wonderful and so fascinating.

During this past year or so, from learning to find keywords (needs), learning SEO, step by step, I developed and launched a total of 4 tool-type websites. Although these sites have not yet generated any revenue, I am not discouraged, because I believe that as long as I keep going, making money is only a matter of time.

Among these 4 launched websites, the most recent one, Image AI, has greatly improved me, both technically and in terms of business. There's not much to say about the technical side — I'm getting more and more proficient. The most important thing on the business side is: I finally got the entire website payment collection process running end-to-end.

Well, that's a brief personal introduction. Now let's start to complete the entire process of "website payment collection" step by step.
