It wasn't until around three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, when Sun Quan refreshed the author's backend for the nth time, that he received the on-site text message that the entry had been approved.
At this time, the manuscript of his new book already has 22 chapters.
In two and a half days, he wrote the fastest on the first day, 10 chapters; on the second day, he wrote 8 chapters. Today, he wrote two chapters in the morning, and so far in the afternoon, he has written 4 chapters.
After all, he is a handicapped person. He wants to maintain the hand speed of 10 chapters on the first day of the book, but he is still unable to do it. The main reason is that as he writes more and more chapters, he needs more and more time to recall the original work, and some have already been
He had to improvise ideas for details that he couldn't remember clearly, which slowed down his coding speed.
But even so, his hand speed now is far higher than before his rebirth.
The work passed the storage review, which means that his book can be serialized normally at the starting point.
With a brand new pen name and a new book that has just passed the review, the popularity is naturally bleak.
The current data presented to him - 0 collections, 11 clicks, 0 recommendation votes, and two advertising posts in the book review area.
It’s so bleak!
Fortunately, after more than ten years of being on the street, he finally felt a little confident. He believed that the current bleak situation was temporary. With the quality of this book, it should be no problem to sign it and put it on the shelves.
It’s a lonely new book period! Just treat it as a stand-alone game.
People who can't bear loneliness are definitely not suitable for the Internet writing profession, but at this point, he is okay.
…
In the blink of an eye, 5 days passed.
The data in this book is indeed pretty good.
42 collections, 281 clicks, 32 recommendation votes, and more than 20 book reviews, including seven or eight advertisements.
Although this kind of data looks better, it is still bleak.
During these five days, he updated two chapters every day, totaling more than 4,000 words. After five days, the number of serialized words in this book has exceeded 21,000.
These days, the collection ratio (the ratio of the number of collectors to the number of subscribers) of Qidian's works when they are put on the shelves can reach about 10:1 for works above the standard. For works of lower quality, the collection ratio will be worse. How much worse?
Some are 20 to 1, some are 30 to 1, or even lower.
To put it simply, if there are 10,000 collectors of a book when it is put on the shelves, and within 24 hours after it is put on the shelves, the first batch of subscribers can reach 1,000, then the subscription ratio of this book is 10 to 1.
If there were 10,000 collectors when it was put on the shelves, but only 500 people subscribed for the first 24 hours after it was put on the shelves, then its subscription ratio would be 20 to 1.
In Sun Quan's memory, starting in 2006, those who scored more than 500 in their first subscription were not considered very successful (for ordinary authors), and could barely guarantee a living and maintain food and clothing.
If the first order reaches more than 1,000, it can be regarded as some achievement. If the hand speed is not too bad, you can earn two to three thousand, or even three to four thousand per month.
Those whose first subscriptions reach more than 2,000 are generally not famous authors and are difficult to achieve.
As for a higher first-order result? That’s the treatment of a great person.
Sun Quan's current book "My Decathlon" has a serialization of more than 20,000 words and 42 collections. It can only be said that it has just started. If you want to achieve results, you must have tens of thousands of collectors by the time it is about 200,000 words, otherwise
, the subscription results after being put on the shelves will definitely not be ideal.
He has been on the streets for more than ten years, and his pursuits have improved a little.
For him, if the number of collectors when it is put on the shelves is less than 20,000, he will be disappointed.
If the first order result is less than 1500, it will be considered a failure.
As for the book "My Decathlon" he is currently serializing, if the first order score is less than 2,500, it is a failure! Because when his book was put on the shelves before his rebirth, the first order score was close to 2,500.
In 2019, the first subscription score was close to 2,500, and it was published in 2006. If the score is worse, what is it other than failure?
In recent days, he looked at the author group and author forum, and also looked at the homepage of the Qidian website several times, and found that a very gratifying event had happened!
The "pleasant" mentioned here is for him personally.
From a starting point...that may not be gratifying.
Because this matter is - the digital website invested by Mouwen Online was officially launched not long ago, probably in May this year.
In the Internet literary circle in 2006, Qidian dominated the world.
However, the digital website invested by Wen Online, which is well-funded, was domineering and aggressive as soon as it entered the market, claiming to have invested tens of millions.
An investment of tens of millions will naturally be nothing if placed in a few years.
But in the Internet literature industry in 2006, it was an out-and-out big deal. You must know the starting point of the current dominance in the Internet literature industry...three years ago, there was a subscription fee system.
Before that, all the writers who wrote online articles basically relied on love to generate electricity. Except for a few great masters and lucky people, they could be published in traditional Chinese in Wanwan and get a meager royalties. Other writers almost
It's all for nothing.
The authors will be very happy if what they write is published on the Internet and read and commented on by readers. The royalties and so on... are just dreams.
At that time, not only were authors unable to get royalties, but all online writing websites, large and small, were also very poor.
Just like Qidian. Three years ago, the main reason why Qidian had to bite the bullet and risk losing a large number of website readers and charge system was because Qidian’s funds could no longer sustain it.
Exhausted and closed down.
Now, it’s 2006, and things are a little better in the online literary world.
In the first half of the year, Qidian just announced with great joy that the first brother of the website, Hongxue, had an unprecedented annual income of more than one million.
Maybe opening a website is the same as being a human being, you shouldn’t be too high-profile!
Within a few months of this good news being announced, a big player in the traditional publishing industry, Mouwen Online, spent tens of millions to create a digital stand to compete for the market share.
It’s really a grab for food!
As soon as the digital website was launched, about half of the editors from the starting point were poached.
At the same time, they also poached a large number of big, medium and small authors from Qidian through premium buyouts.
These include the top masters from the starting point, Red Blood, Sky Cloud and Jiujiu, Jiangnan Misty Rain, etc.
Almost overnight, most of Qidian’s top masters were poached, and many small and medium-sized masters were also poached.
For a time, the overlord of the Internet literary world who was still very happy at the beginning of the year lost his voice. His position as the overlord seemed to be on the verge of collapse and could be replaced by the menacing digital websites at any time.
This is what Sun Quan noticed in the author group, author forum and Qidian homepage these days.
He had the memory of rebirth and saw an opportunity!
He knew that it wouldn't be long before Qidian's parent company, Shanda, would invest an additional 100 million in Qidian. If this 100 million were spent, it would be Digital Station's turn to lose its voice.
The dominance of the starting point will also become stable again.
The most important thing is that the departure of big, medium and small gods such as Hongxue and Tianyun has made a lot of room for other authors who are still writing books at Qidian. It can be said that in the next year or two, Qidian will support emerging authors.
The intensity is unprecedented.
Because there is a serious lack of god-level authors at the starting point during this period! If we don’t quickly promote a group of god-level authors, how can we attract readers? How can we completely overshadow the rival of digital websites in the limelight?
