There was obviously a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, but Haiyu's reply to Sun Quan was: "Haha, it's okay. By the way, do you want me to change the status of the contract in advance today? I saw that someone in your book review area already wanted to reward, but because
It's not in contract status yet, so I can't reward you. Can I help you change it?"
In front of the computer, Sun Quan thought for a while and replied: "No, let's follow the normal process!"
It’s not that he suddenly doesn’t love money anymore, he also knows that if he can modify the contract status today, he can receive some reward money today.
But reason told him - don’t look too ugly when eating!
Changing the status of the new book to contract status on the first day it was uploaded was undoubtedly telling others that he was exercising his privileges.
Based on his previous experience of being at the bottom of society for so many years, any individual who exercises his privileges will arouse the resentment of countless people.
The richer or more powerful a person is, the more disgusting or even disgusting it is for someone to exercise their privileges.
And his grandson's reputation for being rich has spread. At this time, publishing a new book and exercising privileges during the contract signing process is not offensive.
Don’t pretend to be compared! Pretending to be compared will be struck by lightning.
This was a very popular saying in the past few years. Many people may only regard this saying as a fun buzzword, but he has always felt that this saying makes sense.
In the past, he had noticed that some so-called great gods in the Internet literary circle were habitually pretending to be pretentious.
Then what?
Anyway, the ones he had seen pretending to compete would no longer be good in a few years.
Without exception.
He has seen too many negative examples, how could he, Sun Quan, learn from those negative examples?
The richer and famous you are, the more you have to keep a low profile.
Because you are rich and famous, it is easy for people to be jealous. This is human nature. If you still show off at every turn and gain privileges at every turn, won't that make you more hateful?
And when he writes online articles, he is an industry that directly faces readers. Popularity is very important. Once his impression on the outside world worsens, he will not be able to survive in this industry.
Internet writer!
I have never seen an author who is deeply loved and supported by readers be praised by a website. How can I ever see an author who is ignored or even despised by readers be praised by a website all the time?
Readers are the foundation of an author, and book fans are the most solid backing for an author.
Although he always jumped on the street before, he had already understood this thoroughly.
Hairtail: "You really don't need it?"
Xianyu Laosun: "I really don't need it! Thank you."
Hairtail: "Okay, then I'll send you a contract signing message later. You can go through the signing process according to the process! I'll wait for your contract to be sent here and help you modify the signing status, okay?"
"
Xianyu my old sun: "Well, thank you, thank you!"
…
The two chatted for a few more words, and the communication ended this time.
At the end, the hairtail fish in front of the computer looked a little confused. She was quite surprised that during this communication, Sun Quan's attitude was almost the same as before, and even a little more polite than before.
This was beyond her expectation.
Sun Quan hasn't replied to her private messages recently. She thought this guy had lost his temper and his temper must have gotten worse!
…
After finishing the private message with Haiyu, Sun Quan dealt with the other private messages he received on QQ. Some were colleagues and some were book fans. He patiently replied to them one by one, and his tone was no different from before.
People can be proud, but they cannot be arrogant.
This is the principle of life that he has long understood.
However, he received a lot of private messages on QQ. After this reply, some of them responded again and again. By the time he had processed all the private messages, it was already more than an hour later.
He twisted his neck and smiled bitterly. It is not easy to be a humble person!
If he logs into QQ every day to handle all private messages, I'm afraid he will have to spend an hour or two in this area every day.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the original time and space... Tomato's QQ signature was marked with this sentence: "Log in to QQ once every half month. If you have anything, please leave a message. I will deal with it intensively after I go online."
The original words were definitely not like this, because it was so long ago that he couldn't remember clearly, but the general meaning was like this.
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Quan simply added this sentence to his QQ signature.
As for whether he will really log into QQ once every half month in the future, that is his own business. Anyway, he marked this sentence. He believes that if he does not reply to some people's private messages in time, or even does not reply directly, everyone should be able to do the same.
Got it.
He feels really tired if he has to reply to so many people's private messages every day, or even chat with others.
When he has that free time, wouldn't it be nice to go to the studio or company and take a look? Even if it's just to find a book and read it! He doesn't have enough time now.
After doing this, he happily exited QQ, opened the starting point, and logged into the author's backend.
The first thing I looked at was naturally the number of collectors of the new book "Dead Man's Last Wish".
The new book was released this morning, and the number of collectors at this time has exceeded 10,000.
There are more than twelve thousand.
To be honest, he felt a little proud at this moment.
This is the popularity he accumulated from three books after his rebirth. Otherwise, the number of collectors would not have been so large on the first day after the book was released, unless he shamelessly brushed up the data.
At the same time, the more than 12,000 collection data in front of him also made him feel very emotional.
He could not forget that when he first entered this field, the number of collectors on the first day of the publication of his first book did not seem to exceed 5.
I also remember that before my rebirth, after I had been writing online articles for N years, a new book I published sometimes hit the market. From the time it was published to the time it was put on the shelves, the total number of collectors of 200,000 to 300,000 words was not even tens of thousands.
This has always been the case in this industry, winner takes all.
If your book is popular, it will usually become very popular, and all the data will increase quickly and easily. At that time, you will have an illusion - writing online articles is quite easy, and this bowl of rice is quite delicious.
.
But when you write a work that is not so popular, you will find that it is really difficult to increase your data. Maybe you originally had a thousand collections, but after you try to update one more chapter, your number of collections will not only decrease.
It went up, but it also fell.
For this reason, a work that quickly reaches 100,000 collectors will, if nothing else, quickly reach 200,000, 300,000, or even higher collectors.
And a work that cannot exceed 10,000 collections in a few months may still not exceed 10,000 in a year or two.
Smiling, Sun Quan clicked on the page of "The Last Wish of the Dead" and looked at the total clicks and recommendation votes.
The total number of clicks has exceeded 80,000.
There are more than 10,000 recommended votes.
These two data, and the ratio of the number of collectors just now, are obviously very beautiful.
According to his personal experience, it is normal for the ratio of total recommendation votes to total clicks to be less than 1:10.
The ratio of most works is above 1:15.
There are very few works that can reach 1:9 or even 1:8.
Moreover, there are less than 100,000 total clicks, and there are more than 12,000 total collections. This ratio is also abnormal.
Normally, it takes hundreds of thousands of total clicks to have 10,000 collections.
But these seemingly abnormal data in front of us are something to be proud of.
This shows that the current reputation of his pen name is even better than he expected.
Pull the webpage to the book review area.
Sun Quan glanced around and saw no negative book reviews. Except for some advertising posts, the others were basically all kinds of posts supporting his new book.
Too!
This new book has just been uploaded, and it only has the beginning of a story. Even those who want to criticize him will find it difficult to find reasons to criticize him for the time being.
As for the future?
Sun Quan is not so arrogant that no one will criticize him in the future. No one can write a work that satisfies everyone, and he has never seen any author whose work has zero negative reviews.
But for his new book, at least today, at this moment, he has not seen negative reviews.
That's great!
He saw several posts urging updates. On the first day the book was opened, there were actually people urging updates. These people didn't follow the rules!
"shameless!"
While laughing and cursing, he still fulfilled these people's wishes, actually retrieved the manuscript, and posted two more chapters.
After his rebirth, he wrote three books successively. Every time a new issue was released, he always consciously or unintentionally controlled the number of updates in the new issue every day.
Because he wants to hit the list, stay on the new book list for a few more days during the new book period, and accumulate more data.
As we all know, once the total word count of a new book in the new book issue exceeds 200,000 words, it will be kicked off the new book list, no matter what ranking your book is on the new book list at that time.
but now……
He felt it didn't matter anymore, he didn't need to be so careful about controlling the word count in the new issue.
That's no longer necessary!
This is a sign of confidence and confidence.
One copy took more than half a day on the first day of publication and gained more than 12,000 collections.
At the same time, this confidence also comes from the editor’s support for him.
He believes that with the current growth rate of this book's data, once the book's word count is reached and it enters the new book list, it will soon top the new book list.
Then it will soon reach the top of the weekly clicks list and even the weekly recommendation list.
Moreover, in the future, the editor-in-charge Hairyu will not hold him back in the recommendation position.
To put it simply, he believes that his new book no longer needs to deliberately control the update speed of the new book issue in order to stay on the new book list for a few more days.
Because he is confident that the new issue of this book will most likely hit last week's click list and weekly recommendation list, and the effect of these two lists is stronger than the new book list.
Under this circumstance, if the update speed of his new book issue can be faster, the positive effect will be better.
At first glance, this principle seems unscientific and unexplainable.
But he, Sun Quan, has been in the Internet literary circle for more than ten years, and his experience in competing for new book issues has long been different from that of many authors.
For example, during the new book period, some authors always like to find some well-known authors to recommend chapters to themselves. The purpose is to increase the popularity of others and widen the gap between their new books and new books in the same period in terms of data growth.
But he, Sun Quan, never did this.
At first, he felt that it was useless. He felt that if the quality of his work was really good, then a few recommendations given by the editor before it was put on the shelves would be enough to get good data for his book. Compared with
Under this circumstance, the readers that can be attracted by a single chapter by another author appear to be very small and insignificant.
Second, for a book, every time you get a recommendation spot, the editor will look at the increase in your various data, and you can't get a bunch of famous authors to help you write chapters and increase popularity every time you get a recommendation spot.
What kind of situation could easily result?
If you find someone to increase your popularity when you are in the first recommendation position, then the data on your first recommendation position will increase very beautifully, and the editor may indeed give you a better recommendation because of this.
position, and then when your book reaches the next recommendation position, because there is no single chapter bonus from a well-known author, your data increase in this new recommendation position will instantly increase, compared with when you reach the first recommendation position.
The performance is in sharp contrast.
And how does this make the editor feel?
The editor will compare the data increase of your book in the two recommended positions to judge that the plot of your book has become thinner recently. In short, it means that as soon as your book reaches the second recommended position, the plot has become thinner.
It started to collapse.
So, if you were an editor, would you give this book a better recommendation?
Before his rebirth, Sun Quan had seen many such examples. There were always some authors who wanted to take shortcuts and borrow the popularity of other authors to increase their number of new book issues. As a result... the excitement didn't last long.
I was disheartened and felt that I had been relegated to the sidelines by the editor and could not get a good recommendation position.
three……
He used to be unwilling to find other authors to gain popularity for a single chapter because he wanted to focus all his thoughts on the quality of the work in the new book issue. He felt that if he had been thinking about taking shortcuts and looking for other authors to write orders,
If you become more popular, your mind will be distracted, and the result of this distraction is that the quality of your work will definitely decline.
He felt that the gain outweighed the loss.
After all, the popularity gained by relying on other people's single chapters is short-lived, but the decline in the quality of the work has a long-term negative impact.
And writing online articles... has never been a profession that yields short-term benefits. This profession requires tenacity, like running a long-distance marathon.
All attempts to take shortcuts are based on the sprint mentality of sprinting.
And if you run a marathon with a sprinting mentality, how can you have the last laugh?
…
Naturally, Sun Quan’s experience in making the list for the new book issue is not just the superficial understanding mentioned above.
A deeper understanding is about the update speed of new book issues. Some people think that the longer the new book issue, the better. It can get more recommendation positions, and it can accumulate more collectors before it is put on the shelves, and then it will be logical to get a good book.
first order data.
In the past, Sun Quan also thought this way, but later he slowly realized that this concept was wrong.
Just because the number of collectors of a new book is high when it is put on the shelves does not mean that the first order number will definitely be high. This also involves a problem of the subscription ratio.
(Subscription ratio: the ratio of collections to number of subscribers)
It's possible that when you put it on the shelves, you might have 50,000 or even 100,000 collectors, but your final number of subscribers may not be as many as someone else's 10,000 collectors.
This is the impact of the subscription ratio on the first order data of a new book.
And what Sun Quan gradually realized... was the impact of the update speed of new book issues on the collection ratio at the time of release.
