After sending out his testimonials, Sun Quan had nothing else to do for the time being, but he could log on to QQ. He estimated that on this day, many colleagues and book fans would send him private messages, or join him in the group chat.
But this idea just flashed through his mind, and he didn't log in to QQ. It was about to be launched. At this time, he didn't want to reply to so many people's questions.
I just want to be quiet for a while.
His eyes fell on the number of collectors of the new book "This Dad Is Unusual" - more than 420,000.
Looking at this data, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Such as: quite a lot.
Quite a few!
I think it’s quite a lot, because it’s compared with the number of collectors of other works in the online literature circle when they were put on the shelves. For example, on the Qidian Chinese website, the number of collectors of most novels when they were put on the shelves now exceeded 10,000.
Ninety-nine percent of works, even if they are written with millions of words, will not have more than 50,000 collectors by the time they are completed.
Therefore, compared with other works in the circle, his new book currently has a lot of collectors. He has no statistics, but he believes that from the current starting point, there will definitely be few new books that can exceed the number of collectors of his new book when it is put on the shelves.
.
Maybe, not one!
He can be proud.
And he feels that this number is quite small, compared with the current huge group of online article readers.
As we all know, our country has more than one billion people, and the number of readers who currently read online articles. Qidian.com occasionally reveals that the number is over 100 million.
More than 100 million? More than 200 million? Or three to four billion?
Sun Quan wasn't sure, but it was at least over 100 million.
Compared with such a huge group, is a new book on the shelves with 420,000 collectors still considered a large number?
Qidian is currently the overlord of the Internet literature circle, and his grandson is currently one of Qidian's top platinum authors. It stands to reason that the number of collectors of his new book can easily increase tenfold, or even more.
But the current number is 420,000, which is already very rare. Looking at the entire Internet literature circle, few new books have such a large number of collectors.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan sighed secretly.
Xin said: If there were not a large enough number of people in this country and the poor copyright protection situation in the country, it would be impossible for online writing to develop.
I don’t want to think too much about such unhappy things, because thinking too much is useless.
He has no ability to change such a bad situation, he can only adapt to it.
I immediately clicked on the new book page and glanced at the current clicks, recommendations, tips, book reviews and other data.
At present, the total number of views on "This Daddy is Unusual" has exceeded 10 million, and there are more than 1.2 million recommendation votes.
Reward...
Today, the number of people who have tipped so far has exceeded 100, and the amount of each person's reward varies, from as little as one yuan, to as much as one thousand yuan.
And the number of book reviews…
The total number has exceeded 130,000.
Anyway, now that he has time, Sun Quan will read the book reviews on the homepage of the book review section one by one.
"Is it about to be put on the shelves? How long do we have to wait? I haven't had lunch yet! Can it be put on the shelves now? I gave the first subscription and monthly pass and went to eat. I'm hungry."
"Old Sun, do you want to be the first in the monthly ticket for your new book? If you want, 100 more chapters will be added to the shelves today, and brothers will send it to you!"
"Another new book is about to be put on the shelves. Unknowingly, I have been reading your books for several years. I didn't give you the first order for the first few books because I was still in school at that time and didn't have much money. This time, I made the first order.
I will give you my monthly ticket..."
"Trash! I'm reading your book to give you face, but you still want to take money? Go away! It's a shameless thing. You still need money to write a novel. It's shameless!"
…
Seeing the negative review above, Sun Quan just smiled calmly and did not get angry.
What's there to be angry about?
He has been writing online articles for more than ten years and has seen such mentally retarded remarks countless times. There are always people who use such remarks to expose their IQ and character.
At first, when someone complained about his new book when it was released, he couldn't help but reply and explain. Even though he felt aggrieved, he still had the patience to explain.
But over time, after seeing such remarks too many times, he became too lazy to explain.
Not only because there are too many people like this and he can't explain it, but also because he has long realized that for people who really don't want to subscribe and support, even if you talk nonsense, it's useless.
Writing online articles has always been something everyone chooses.
Readers choose books that interest them, and with the development of online literature in recent years, many authors have begun to consciously choose their own readership.
For example, San Shao's works are getting younger and younger in style, focusing on the market of teenage middle school students.
And, it was very successful.
It is said that it is because San Shao feels that middle school students have a stronger awareness of reading the genuine version and supporting the author. Much stronger.
In contrast, those readers in their twenties, or even thirties or forties have much less awareness of supporting the author by reading genuine books.
The reasons may be various. For example, adults in their twenties and thirties have many ways of entertainment and many places to spend money, and they are unwilling to spend money on reading novels.
Or maybe it's some other reason.
In short, the payment rate of adult readers is very low, a fact that many authors have known for a long time.
Every time Sun Quan saw book reviews criticizing his works for charging money, he really thought about changing the style of his works.
Because as long as he changes the style of his works, there is a high probability that those trolls will not be interested in his works and will no longer read his books.
This is of course an impulsive idea.
Such an idea has come to him very early on, but he has never actually done it, because compared to those few trolls, he has tens of thousands of fans who support him, real fans.
He told himself: I am writing for those book fans who support me.
…
Time always passed quietly, and soon, it passed 12 o'clock.
Sun Quan still hasn't logged in to QQ. He knows that if he doesn't log in to QQ, he may miss the private message from the editor Haiyu informing him that it has been put on the shelves.
He just opens his saved manuscript and refreshes his author background over and over again.
There is no need to read the editor's private messages. As long as he keeps refreshing the author's backend, he will know immediately when the listing function is activated.
12:07.
After refreshing the author's backend again, he saw that the listing function had been enabled.
Chapter.
He smiled and without hesitation, immediately published the chapter-by-chapter manuscript.
He was lonely in front of the computer, alone.
In these few minutes of the chapter, he felt that he was not alone at this moment, and he had proof!
After the chapter was published, he immediately went to publish the second chapter. There was only a few dozen seconds between the two chapters, but after the second chapter was successfully published, he noticed that the number of subscribers for the first chapter had exceeded one thousand.
——1126.
This is the number of subscribers for his first paid chapter in just over 20 seconds.
This number moved him.
Because behind this number, it means that at least a thousand people have been waiting in front of their computers or mobile phones, waiting to subscribe to his paid chapters as soon as possible to support him.
He even knew that these more than a thousand people were just the fastest group, and there were also some friends who had not been single for long enough. They must also be waiting for his new book to be put on the shelves, waiting to give it to them as soon as possible.
He supports it.
Do not believe?
Sun Quan smiled, refreshed the web page, and saw that the number just changed, it had increased to 1532.
With hundreds more people, the number of years they will be single should not be short.
On the first day it was released, it was also released on a day like October 9th. Sun Quan did not hesitate to save his manuscripts and released 20 chapters in one go.
Each chapter should be more than 3,000 words.
In just a few minutes, sending out these 20 chapters means throwing out more than 60,000 words of manuscript.
This amount of updates is not enough.
When his 20th paid chapter was released, the number of subscribers for the first paid chapter had already risen to 3,418.
In just a few minutes, there were so many subscribers. If word spread, it would definitely make countless online writers jealous.
There is no way not to be jealous!
At least 90% of authors, every time they open a new book, the number of first orders within 24 hours does not reach 3,000.
In less than five minutes after his new book was put on the shelves, the number of subscribers reached over 3,400.
How can this gap not make people jealous?
Before his rebirth, Sun Quan was jealous of those works whose first order exceeded 3,000 yuan within 24 hours of being put on the shelves.
…
Sun Quan had his own considerations when publishing 20 chapters in one go.
He wants to give back to his book fans for their support over the years. In addition, he also hopes that he has updated so many chapters today that everyone will be satisfied. When satisfied, they will willingly vote for his new book with all their monthly votes.
After all, his new book didn't hit the shelves earlier this month.
He had already missed the double monthly ticket event earlier this month.
So it’s on the shelves today. It’s very difficult for his new book to reach the top of this month’s monthly new book list. It will require the full support of many book fans.
With the title of a platinum author on his head, he also needs to achieve sufficiently impressive results every time a new book is released.
Otherwise, the industry's badmouthing of him will spread throughout the industry in less than two days.
Although this has not happened yet, Sun Quan knows that as long as his new book is on the shelves and it still fails to take the first place in the monthly new book sales list, there will definitely be many people in the circle who don't mind slandering him.
There are always some people who want to see great gods fall from the altar.
There are always some people who always think that if they kill the great master, they will have a higher chance of success.
There are also some people who simply hate the rich and like to see other people’s jokes.
After Chapter 20 was sent out, Sun Quan didn't look at any data or the current number of monthly tickets. He picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip of tea, then calmly turned off the computer, got up and left the study... to eat.
.
He can still hold his own.
To be precise...he is a book lover who believes in himself.
He believed that they still loved him and would not let him become a joke in the eyes of others. When he had just released those paid chapters, the rising subscription data gave him confidence.
After going downstairs, I found that Yu Xinxin and others had not had lunch yet, the food had been served on the table, but Yu Xinxin, Gao Guang, and Tian Youzhi were all sitting in the living room watching TV.
The food was not moved at all.
"Didn't I ask you to eat first? How come you haven't used your chopsticks while reading?"
Sun Quan, who had just come down from upstairs, frowned and asked.
Seeing him coming downstairs, Yu Xinxin and the others got up and walked to the restaurant. Gao Guang, who finally got up, turned off the TV and said with a smile: "How can the boss eat before the employees eat first? Haha."
Yu Xinxin walked quickly to the dining table, quickly opened the lid of the soup pot, smiled shyly, and said: "Mr. Sun, the rice has been served for you, come and eat!"
Tian Youzhi didn't say anything, just smiled along with the crowd.
Sun Quan glanced at them and said nothing. He walked into the kitchen and washed his hands. When he came out, he picked up the rice bowl and signaled for the meal to be served.
…
at the same time.
In the Qidian Editorial Department, during lunch time today, there are still six or seven editors who have not gone to eat and are still glued to their workstations.
Among them is Sun Quan’s editor-in-chief Hairtail.
She was staring at the first order data of the new batch of books that had just been put on the shelves, refreshing the web page from time to time.
To be precise, her eyes were fixed on Sun Quan's book "This Daddy is Extraordinary".
Again, Xianyu, my old sun, is the number one master under her, and the honor of Xianyu, my old sun, is her honor of bringing in fish.
As long as the performance of Xianyu Anlaosun's new book does not collapse, her position in the Qidian editorial department will be as stable as Mount Tai.
What's more, it is now a critical moment for her to be promoted.
She is more looking forward to Sun Quan's new book than ever before to achieve sufficiently impressive results, although even if Sun Quan's new book does well enough, she may not be promoted to editor-in-chief.
But she knew that if the results of Sun Quan's new book failed, or even if it didn't, it was just not that impressive, her chances of getting the editor-in-chief position would be much smaller.
Napoleon once said: A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.
She is the editor-in-chief. She thinks she is a good editor, so she has always wanted to be the editor-in-chief.
Whether she can take this step up is very important to her.
She had already seen a lot of what kind of life the editors in chief lived and what kind of life the editor-in-chief lived like after working at Qidian for several years.
No editor's life is more nourishing than that of the editor-in-chief.
Of course, except for relationships and marriage.
She wants to be editor-in-chief, and she wants to be less busy at work every day, but can earn more; she also wants to be promoted to editor-in-chief, and her speech will be valued at weekly meetings; she also wants to realize her financial success as soon as possible.
free.
I can afford a house and a car, and I hope that after I get promoted, I will have the opportunity to get a better job.
Simply put, she felt that as long as she was promoted to editor-in-chief, her destiny would really change.
Even if you can't continue working at the starting point and resign, you can still find a good job in this industry.
You know, the newly opened websites in the industry in recent years, big and small, all like to dig and edit from the starting point.
The editors-in-chief who left Qidian became the chief editors of small websites after leaving Qidian.
There are also people who were originally just editors at Qidian. After leaving Qidian, they also became the editor-in-chief of a small website.
These are the motivations that motivate her to want to be an editor-in-chief.
And at this time...
Seeing the number of subscribers to the paid chapter of "This Dad Is Unusual" skyrocketing every time she refreshes the page, the smile on her face spreads little by little.
