I prefer the membership levels used in the publisher forums, so I'm looking for a few more representative adjectives from there.
1: Please take care of me.

2、Bull's knife.

To a certain extent, the network advertising will affect the development of the site, if necessary, you can look for some support, such as more familiar with the network advertising consultation, you can also consider the advertising space chartered to those advertising agencies.
3, free flowing
The publisher forums are full of such webmasters, who can earn tens of thousands of RMB per month from different advertisers, and some of them can expand their income again through commercial operations. However, the cost burden of such a site is also quite heavy, and the cost of managing it through a commercial operation would also increase.
Different people have different attitudes towards money, some satisfied with the status quo, and some again to develop. Such webmasters are in a period of ambivalence, leaving them confused about whether they want to be bigger or not, or whether it's worth putting more effort into, they have enough money to enjoy life instead of living with the browser all day.

Estimated number: 50 or so
The number 50 is still the same number that 265's Cai said a few years ago, and not much is known about such a station owner to the outside world. Though we often hear legends of such people.

5. ascend to the top.
