Sun Quan was unable to sense the disturbances from the outside world.
He didn't know the story that happened in the Qidian editorial department, nor did he know that one of his book fans was a boy named Xia Yun whose father was the editor-in-chief of a publishing house in the Mainland. Therefore, it was even more impossible to know what happened in the Yangtze River Baihua Publishing House.
story.
What he can see is that his "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" entered the top ten of Qidian's new book list the day after it reached the first recommendation position.
He imagined this achievement, but he was still a little surprised when he saw that this book really showed such a sharp edge so quickly.
After being surprised, he looked at the computer screen and smiled evilly, just like a sinister villain who suddenly found a good opportunity to do bad things.
He started adding more updates!
What? Is it a common routine to add more updates?
For a work that has been released on the shelves, the routine of adding more updates is indeed very common, but for a new book that has just been published and has just reached the first small recommendation position, is it really unusual to add more updates?
For some new authors, maybe yes!
But for a veteran like Sun Quan, such behavior is very rare.
Under normal circumstances, a veteran like him would not frequently update a new book when it first reaches the first recommendation position. The most he would do is add a chapter after 12 o'clock on Sunday night. It's amazing.
One more chapter will be added on Monday.
Other than that, basically there will be no more updates.
There are several reasons.
For example, for new books in the seedling stage, the total number of clicks, recommendation votes, and number of collectors are still very small. If you add updates every day during this period, you will soon have negative effects - the total number of words is tens of thousands more than that of new books in the same period, and the total number of clicks and
However, the number of recommendation votes and collections may be almost the same as that of new books in the same period.
How would the reader feel if such a situation occurred?
Many readers who are paying attention to this new book for the first time will subconsciously think that the quality of this new book is not as good as other new books of the same period. The reason is also ready-all your data is similar to other books of the same period, but the number of words is tens of thousands more.
, doesn’t this prove that the quality of your book is not as good as others?
Another example is the time limit on the new book list!
According to the rules of Qidian, the time each new book can stay on the new book list is limited. The longest it can stay is one month. The shortest? If you dare to publish 200,000 words in one day, you will know that the shortest can be as short as
To some extent, the day you reach 200,000 words is when you get off the new book list.
There are other reasons as well. In short, under normal circumstances, Sun Quan would not add a large number of updates to a new book in its seedling stage. The small benefit is one reason, and the negative impact is another important reason.
But this time when he saw that his "The Immortal Dragon Ring" was in the top ten of the new book list, he decided to update it in the next few days, changing it to two and three updates a day. When the situation required, four updates would also be included.
It's not that it doesn't have to be discussed.
There is only one purpose - to stay on the newcomers' new book list for a few more days. If it can shoot up again, that would be even better.
Being able to stay in the top ten of the new book list early is a very precious start in his opinion.
As long as you can stay in the top ten of the new book list, the disadvantages of adding new books in the seedling stage will automatically disappear.
Because the total clicks and recommendation votes of the work, as well as the number of collectors, will grow rapidly every day, and it will soon be able to leave behind most new books in the same period.
There is only one premise - as long as it can stay in the top ten of the new book list.
When the total number of clicks, recommendation votes, and collections are all growing rapidly, what’s wrong with the fact that his new book has a little more words than his works of the same period? Not only do I have more words, but my other data also lags behind you. In this case, Too many words will only serve as a reason for readers to keep reading.
So, on Monday, he updated three times; on Tuesday, he updated three times; on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, he updated three times every day, and he was not stingy at all in saving his manuscripts.
The effect of additional updates is also significant.
On Monday, "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" ranked ninth on the new book list. On Wednesday, it shot to eighth. On sixth, it shot to seventh. On Sunday evening, it shot to sixth.
Trampling on new books with thirty to fifty thousand, even seventy or eighty thousand more words than it.
On the Qidian category channel’s fantasy category newcomers’ new book list, on Sunday evening, “The Ring of the Immortal Dragon” had already rushed to the second position.
The only thing that still stands in front of it is Luo Ba's "Hegemony".
In this week, "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" has come into the eyes of many people, not only readers, but also fellow authors and editors in the circle.
The number of collectors of "The Immortal Dragon Ring" has increased from about 1,300 when it was first recommended to more than 5,600 in one week.
The total number of clicks has also increased to more than 210,000, and the number of recommended votes has reached almost 30,000.
The popularity of the book review area is also very gratifying, with more than 500 entries in the book review area.
All signs point to "Ring of the Immortal Dragon" being a hit.
Perhaps it wasn't just Sun Quan who felt this way. On the afternoon of Friday, when Qidian released the recommended spots, he received a short notice of next week's recommended spots.
Inform him that after 2 pm on Sunday, he will be featured on the Qidian Classification Channel’s strong recommendations.
Sun Quan was very happy at that time.
Because according to the convention, after the first small recommendation position of a new book, there must be another small recommendation position. Only when the second small recommendation position is more effective can the editor arrange a strong recommendation on the category channel. This recommended position is referred to as "fenqiang".
Most newcomers don't have the chance to attend.
Only works whose data exceeds that of most books of the same period or new books by old authors will have a chance to be included.
And "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" not only got a higher score this time, but also skipped the second small recommendation spot and got it in advance.
Don’t ask who Fenqiang is and why he wants to join it. Everyone wants to join it anyway, so just join it!
"Perhaps... after finishing the ranking, there will be tens of thousands of collections..."
On Sunday night, when he saw that the number of collectors of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" had exceeded 6,000, Sun Quan muttered to himself and made another decision.
——He decided to use his new QQ to build another book fan group, a fan group dedicated to "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon".
Yes, he has a new QQ, which he specially applied for before signing the contract for "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon".
The reason why I applied for a new QQ at that time was mainly because I didn’t want editors and readers to find out that this new book was written by him wearing a vest.
only……
Changes are always bigger than planned. He didn't expect that before the readers and the new editor discovered his identity, the original editor Da Zhuang discovered that he was wearing a vest first.
Fortunately, so far, it seems that the new editor and readers have not discovered this secret.
Therefore, it is still necessary to create a new book fan group using New QQ.
Just do what you say, and a new book fan group was successfully created in a short time. The group name is Xianyu Group.
I don't know if the book fans who join the group in the future will like this group name. Sun Quan didn't think too much about it. Anyway, he likes the name.
Later, he announced the group number in the work related to "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon", and also announced the group number once at the end of the new chapter.
Shortly after the group number was announced, book fans began to apply to join the group.
Sun Quan clicked through one by one, and he was very interested at first. Even new fans of the book were @ him in the group, and he was also interested in joining and providing chat services.
But as time went on, he felt that it was not possible to continue like this. It would waste too much time on his coding, and he could not always guard QQ and let all the book fans who applied to join the group go.
At this time, the benefits of having a female vote became apparent. He did not ask Yuan Shuiqing for his opinion, but directly added Yuan Shuiqing's account to the group.
After finishing, he ran to the big room with a smile and said to Yuan Shuiqing who was reading on the bed: "Daughter-in-law! I will give you a glorious task, be the administrator of my book fan group!"
"ah?"
Yuan Shuiqing was a little confused.
"Well, I've decided so happily! Log on to QQ and agree to join the group! I will give you administrator rights right away. In the next few days, I will work hard for you to help me manage this group, and wait for me to find someone.
With a few suitable new administrators, you won't have to be so busy."
While talking, Sun Quan thoughtfully helped her move the laptop on the bedside table and pressed the power button for her, with a perfect smile on his face.
Yuan Shuiqing looked at him dumbfounded, "Am I qualified to accept such a glorious task? You really don't need to praise me like this, really! I'm flattered."
She smiled and acted coquettishly.
Sun Quan tried his best to resist the urge to laugh, and said: "It's okay! Even if there are three thousand beauties in the harem, I will only pamper you! Because you are good! Hehe."
Yuan Shui gave him a clean look, took the laptop, smiled and complained softly: "You really will find a job for me! Okay! Go and do your work! I understand."
"Ba, Ba..."
Sun Quan leaned over and smacked her face, then squeaked again, then waved away with satisfaction.
Back in the small room, Yuan Shuiqing had indeed joined the group.
He added an administrator status to her, finally freed from this matter, and could continue coding with peace of mind.
…
Around 10 a.m. the next day.
Sun Quan was typing when Yuan Shuiqing knocked on the door and came in. Sun Quan raised his head and gave her a smile, then lowered his head and continued typing. His hand speed was comparable to that of a single man who has been single for thirty years.
He was halfway through a chapter and was in perfect condition.
Yuan Shuiqing walked up to him and looked at the text that kept popping up on his computer screen. A faint smile appeared in her eyes and her lips parted slightly, "You are new to QQ, haven't you? There is a new woman in the group.
She said that she is from Changjiang Baihua Publishing House, and that she has wanted to contact you for a long time, but she has been unable to find your contact information. She wants to talk to you! Do you want to talk to her? "
"Changjiang Baihua Publishing House?"
Sun Quan stopped typing with his fingers and turned to look at Yuan Shuiqing in surprise.
Yuan Shuiqing smiled and nodded in confirmation.
Sun Quan looked puzzled, thought about it, and quickly logged into his new QQ. He had actually guessed what the other party wanted to talk to him about, but he just instinctively didn't believe it.
Because he knows very well that in the current mainland publishing market, only one online novel can be successfully published.
Piracy is really rampant. The streets are full of pirated online novels, leaving no way for genuine ones to survive.
Only a very few lucky ones have the opportunity to be published in the Mainland.
Is "My Decathlon" picked up by others?
At this time, he didn't even think about whether the other party might be interested in his new book "The Immortal Dragon Ring", because "The Immortal Dragon Ring" is too young now!
