This is my second signed and published work from Qidian.
Compared with the little excitement before the first book was released, I am not excited at all at this moment. On the contrary, I am full of regret and unwillingness.
As a non-great author, generally speaking, unless the editor is particularly optimistic about the book, otherwise, when you release a new book, especially after signing a contract, the starting point for recommending books to you will be from low to high, step by step. Your work can
If your score is better than other books in similar recommendations (mainly collections and recommendation votes), you will advance to the next round of stronger recommendations.
In the past two months, this "Global Warring States" has been in fierce competition with new books released by other authors at the same time in the new book promotions of QQ Bookstore, Qidian's new historical books, new book selections, and historical strong promotions.
, always ranked in the top three, and in the later period, it even rushed to the top two. Finally, relying on this result, it broke out of the historical area and entered the six-channel recommendation on the homepage of Qidian - this is a height that my previous work has never reached.
.At this time, this book is only one step away from being strongly recommended by Qidian.com or recommended by Sanjiang.
In this process, many new books released at the same time have fallen behind. Every time I change the recommendations, I find that there are fewer familiar book titles around me... But unfortunately, the historical books released at the same time have fallen behind.
Among the new books, although our book's performance has maintained a strong second place throughout late July and the first week of August, it just can't reach the first place... And the history category is at the starting point.
It is a weak point, there is only one quota for both Sanjiang and the whole site.
Then this week, the recommendation given to me by Qidian was dropped from the homepage of the website back to the historical area...
There is only one step away, but it is just such a step away, and the distance is like thousands of miles.
Then the only option is to put it on the shelves. After all, there are more than 300,000 free chapters. Even if it is pretended to be a new book, neither the editor nor the website will agree.
The starting point is a commercial literary website. When looking at the collection before putting it on the shelf, the editor needs to estimate how many users will pay to read the book after it is put on the shelf. Therefore, the more new books are collected, the more optimistic the editor will be. However, collections can be refreshed, and
Once it's on the shelves, it's a real subscription.
My last book was released two months ago. The day before it was put on the shelf, the effective access IP was 19,500, and the collection was 3,200. In the first month after it was put on the shelf, the average number of orders was close to 700. The current effective access IP of this book is only 10,300.
, the collection has 6100.
In other words, the book "Global Warring States" is more attractive to readers than the previous one (the first volume of the previous book was really poisonous. I have a headache now when I read it. At that time, it was purely because I used too much force to sign the contract).
The number of book friends who clicked on this book during the same period was much less than my previous book (there are indeed more readers who read the Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms genres than those who read the Song and Ming Dynasties). However, the number of collections has doubled.
This is everyone’s support and recognition of my work.
So, how many orders will there be on average after this book is put on the shelves?
Generally speaking, Qidian big data shows that the ratio of collections to subscriptions in cities, Xianxia, etc. is 4:1. History categories are often the lowest, at 5:1 or even 6:1 or 7:1.
The reason why such a situation occurs is, of course, that first, there are pirated websites. Second, people who read history may not be poor, but people who read history are often the wisest.
But here’s the problem, people who write history may not necessarily be the hardest working among Qidian writers. But looking up information is definitely a lot of work. This causes historical writers to work harder but have the lowest income among Qidian writers....
..The weakness of history at the starting point is not without reason.
In the new book issue, this book "Global Warring States" almost became Qidian's strongest recommendation, just a little bit... But if you want to turn around after it is on the shelves, you can only rely on real subscription. Qidian is a commercial website after all.
, as long as the subscriptions behind this book are strong, it will continue to give strong recommendations to all kinds of people.
Therefore, the future of this book is decided in everyone’s hands.
I firmly believe that most of my book friends will support me by reading the original version. However, since pirated websites can exist, then readers who like free prostitution and are complacent about it also exist.
Let me be honest with these readers. The author is not a full-time author and cannot update 10,000 words every day, so in one month, he will update 150,000 words. Calculated based on the payment of 10 cents for a Qidian ordinary member to subscribe to 2,000 words.
, even if you subscribe to the full book, you will only pay 7.5 yuan a month.
7.5 yuan, half a pack of cigarettes, two bottles of water, or a bowl of noodles. How can you not save anything in a month?
Therefore, I still hope that everyone can support the collection of genuine reading.6100. How many first orders will there be after it is put on the shelves? I am looking forward to it.
End of verbosity.
Due to the rules of Qidian, it can only be put on the shelves after 12 o'clock on Friday, so today's update will be a little later.
According to the rules of breaking out on the shelves, well, the author has been in a bad writing environment recently and has been nervous about saving manuscripts. It is definitely not possible to make updates for a long time, so I will post the fourth update today. It is expected to start today's update after 2 p.m.
Chapter completed!
