Clicking on the city's monthly ticket list, Sun Quan saw that his copy of "My Decathlon" was ranked 16th today.
He remembered that at the end of last month, "My Decathlon" was ranked sixth. Today is No. 1, and it slipped to 16th at the beginning of this month.
There are probably two reasons he can think of.
First, from early yesterday morning to now, many authors have used various methods to ask for monthly votes, seizing the opportunity and surpassing him.
Secondly, it should be the author's account that suffered a loss. His current pen name is "Anlaosun". After all, it is a brand new account. It does not have the accumulation of fans of old books. It is like a new egg in the entertainment industry, and at the same time it competes for urban monthly tickets.
There are many well-known old authors on the list. These old authors have accumulated fans for n years, and their fans must be more loyal than him. Maybe many old book fans have not read the books at all, and just voted for them directly. In contrast,
, his new account and new book will inevitably suffer.
Of course, if his book "My Decathlon" is amazing enough, even with the above two factors, he will still rank at the top of the monthly ticket list.
But obviously, his book is not that good.
In this case, don't even think about expecting readers to vote voluntarily and take the initiative to help him get on the monthly voting list.
If he doesn't want to spend money to brush up the data, there are very few means in front of him to compete for the rankings. Either be cute, be miserable, or make updates. These two should be the most effective.
He has seen people act cute before. He is obviously a big man who picks his feet, but he posts a single chapter saying that he is a cute girl, forcing him to act cute and beg for votes.
He has also seen misfortunes, such as when an author revealed that he was raped by a male book fan...
Sometimes Sun Quan is quite thick-skinned, but sometimes he is quite thin-skinned. For example, when competing for the monthly vote list, he doesn't want to be cute or miserable, so he can only update more.
His way of breaking the news is very direct, just like punishing himself with three drinks before going to the wine table. He first breaks three chapters in a row, and then posts a single chapter asking for votes.
"New January is a new beginning. Yesterday we were sixth on the city's monthly vote list, but today we are 16th. I don't want to tolerate this, so I will post three chapters first to show my sincerity. The rules for adding an update this month: 100 monthly votes will add an additional chapter.
, there is no cap, how many chapters you want me to blast next depends on your fighting ability! Let’s set a small goal first – let’s get back to sixth place first!”
Facts have proven that asking for monthly tickets is indeed very effective.
After he published these three chapters and published the rules for the single chapter asking for votes, this morning, every time he refreshed the city's monthly vote list, he could see that the number of his monthly votes was growing rapidly.
Before those three chapters were released, the number of monthly votes for "My Decathlon" was 87. Half an hour later, he refreshed the monthly vote list and the number of monthly votes was already 162.
So, without saying a word, he added another chapter and continued to ask for monthly votes at the end of the chapter.
After another half an hour, the number of monthly votes became 244, so he added another chapter and continued to ask for monthly votes.
Half an hour later, the monthly vote list was refreshed again, and the number of monthly votes had risen to 309.
The increase slowed down, but it once again met his conditions for adding an update. Sun Quan didn't hesitate and added another chapter.
In one morning, he released three chapters according to the extra update rules.
If it continues to explode at this speed, his 60,000-word manuscript will definitely not be able to sustain it for long, but he does not panic. First, he knows that as time goes by, the monthly tickets in the hands of book fans will become less and less.
The monthly ticket sales for this book will definitely increase more and more slowly.
Secondly, he is confident in his current coding speed. Nowadays, tens of thousands of updates per day are the norm for him. If necessary, he believes that he can still break out again.
Since he decided to compete for the top spot in the city's monthly vote list this month, he was naturally mentally prepared for the explosive update.
No, this morning, although he refreshed the starting city monthly ticket list from time to time and updated it from time to time, he also took the time to write.
The speed of the ten fingers typing on the keyboard was unknowingly faster than usual.
He seemed to hear a voice shouting in his ear: "Quick, quick, quick! Harder, harder..."
And the effect of force is also obvious.
When the store was full at noon, "My Decathlon" was already ranked 10th on the city's monthly ticket list.
But the 10th place couldn't satisfy him, so he continued to sit in front of the computer in the afternoon and seize the time to code.
As a result, in one afternoon, the total number of monthly votes for "My Decathlon" increased by more than 200, and he added two more chapters.
The ranking on the city monthly vote list has moved up one place.
Ranked 9th.
Anyone who has paid attention to the monthly ticket list knows that the higher the monthly ticket rankings are for the works, the greater the difference in monthly ticket numbers between them, so the difficulty will be much higher every time you move up one place.
Moreover, the authors of the top-ranked works are not vegetarians either. Sun Quan is asking for monthly votes, and so are the authors who are ranked in front of him.
He is posting updates, and several authors ahead of him are also posting updates.
Moreover, maybe there are still people among them who are making money.
RMB players have always been difficult to defeat, both in online games and in the author circle.
So, for the whole next night, "My Decathlon" struggled to rank in the city's monthly ticket rankings, as if its feet were stuck with strong glue. Even though its total number of monthly tickets was still rising, it was stuck at No. 9
I couldn't move my position for a long time, and it wasn't until about 11 o'clock in the night that I finally moved up one place and became 8th.
However, Sun Quan did not look happy at all as his ranking rose by one.
Because he has long noticed that his fan potential is close to being exhausted.
More than two hours before 11 o'clock, the total number of monthly tickets for "My Decathlon" only increased by a dozen.
The end of the strong crossbow...
The word flashed through his mind.
At the same time, a few other words flashed across her face - "You can't wear Lu Guan."
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
He knows that his strongest moment has passed, and the next battle will become very difficult. If the monthly tickets in the hands of book fans are exhausted, how can they still fight this battle?
The only thing that pleased him was that the monthly sales of the books ranked ahead of him were also weak, and his opponents were not much better than him.
He decided to settle down first.
Now that it has reached the 8th position on the urban monthly ticket list, as time goes by, it will inevitably attract a group of new readers, and these new readers must have some tickets in their hands.
At this time, he thought of an advantage his book had compared to other old books on the list.
——That is, his book has only been on the shelves for a short time, only forty days, and the total number of words is not that many. Compared with old books that have been on the shelves for several months, more than half a year, or even one or two years, his book
The exposure is definitely less than them.
And this is a big advantage!
Also in the top ten of the urban monthly popular list, those old books with high exposure are theoretically not as fast as his new book in attracting new readers.
To put it simply: he thinks his blood recovery speed is better than those old books.
So he had to be steady first, wait until he had accumulated a wave of strength, and then fight with the books on the list.
