The internal beta test has long ended, the mobile page has been adjusted, and the writer's benefits and contracts have been finalized. Ding Wei's income during this period has basically been filled in.
Fortunately, we have the sponsorship of Bu Ming, the domineering class leader, so we will have to vigorously promote it next.
This is not difficult.
The money is available and the benefits are attractive. Although there are still some big-name competitors, the really big capital doesn't take these petty troubles seriously, so naturally they have no scruples.
Five million in publicity expenses is simply more than enough.
After all, this kind of website promotion is different from traditional products and does not need to be put on expensive screens. Ding Wei only allocated a small part of the money to have people post in major forums.
At the same time, a contract was signed with the crew of "Legend of the Deep", and this advertisement will be used as a background board to appear in the middle and end of the play.
It’s not intentional, just passing by to give people an initial impression.
At the same time, after the TV series ends, their website will organize a linkage with Xinghai Company——
【Legend of the Deep Sea】Fan submission activity.
The work only needs to be serialized, and not only can you get the corresponding writer's benefits, but you can also participate in the final awards.
The first place will be awarded 50,000 yuan.
Second and third place, 20,000 yuan.
Next, there are ten outstanding awards, each with a bonus of 10,000 yuan.
30 creative winners, each with a bonus of 1,000.
Now in 2006, this is already an incredible bonus and benefit.
In particular, the competition is evaluated based on website voting, comprehensive review by editors, and readers’ comments. Although the final evaluation method has not been announced to prevent someone from cheating, as long as this promotion is launched, the website will definitely have an influx of writers.
.
Pity.
Ding Wei, who has evolved into a half-capitalist, sighed melancholy.
After all, novels are not the same as TV shows. They cannot cooperate with mobile companies. Otherwise, they can edit text messages and send them to so-and-so to vote... Oh, it is not very profitable.
Haven’t you seen that today’s popular super men and women are just like this?
Just last year, there were fanatic fans in the class who asked every student to use their mobile phones to vote for someone at their own expense!
…
However, "Legend of the Deep" has only been filmed for 2/3 of the time, and the time for post-production and TV rights to be sold has not yet been determined, so this promotion may be delayed for a long time.
But for Ding Wei, this is not a problem at all.
They are still doing the preliminary publicity, and the generous writer benefits alone can attract many interested writers.
This last bit of publicity is just to keep the popularity going for longer. Even next year, we still won’t miss the opportunity.
After all, what a new website lacks most in the early stage is not readers, but enough works.
This can be regarded as a way to generate electricity for her love, and to find another opportunity for the decline of traditional print media.
Therefore, the gains and losses of interests are not so important. As for Bu Ming, another major shareholder, as long as his novel can be serialized smoothly and he can hear some comments from readers during the completion period... other fundamentals
do not mind.
The bosses are so Buddhist, and it seems like everything is easy. However, if Zheng Minghe and the others were here, they would definitely bang the table and curse.
Buddha is a ghost!
They require a Buddhist system for themselves, and they have a lot of requirements for the website. They are picky about all kinds of small details and rules!
Even though a real debut novel has not been included yet, we are already thinking about anti-theft measures!
Three of them are the best in the entire department, plus five are the best in the computer department... Eight people, for a small website, the big framework is fully mature, and they are still staying up late...
What a shame and shame!
Just ask the website with the most authors today if it has so many people engaged in maintenance and development.
But thinking about the increasing bonuses and wages...it seems that this boss is not so hateful anymore.
…
And what Ding Wei lacks most now is a reply from editor Guo Mu.
This life is no longer 996: Here?
Never Again 996: Have you considered what you said last time?
Website link:
Editor Guomu:???
Editor Guo Mu: Are you so persistent?
Editor Guo Mu: Is it ready so quickly?
This Life Is No Longer 996: The boss has invested 10 million, what can’t be done?
Editor Guo Mu:......
Ten million.
There's really nothing that 10 million can't do.
And ten million yuan proves that we can afford it in every aspect.
Then why not do it?
She didn't work in the industry before. On the one hand, she felt that this industry was unreliable, and on the other hand, she also felt that there was no future.
But when all the money has been taken out by the house, and a big boss has entered the website, what prospects do you have, just do it.
Didn't Ding Wei use this to lie to her? Didn't she see that all the company registration and filing information was sent to her?
Anyway, being a part-time editor online does not require a fixed location to work, so it is not difficult for Guomu, who is now free.
Maybe I was busy before, but since Ding Wei's divine personality became stable, I won't be too busy anymore.
That's the only good thing about editors in traditional industries. If you have a popular author under you, she will be good as long as the author remains popular.
This Life Is No Longer 996: No rush. Do you know anyone in the same group? Newbies or old people are all welcome.
This life is no longer 996: The online article review is different from the normal magazine acceptance. The sentences are smooth, there are few typos, and you don’t write what you shouldn’t write. It can be seen that it is a story, and it is best to arouse a little interest... This way you can pass
.
Editor Guo Mu:......
She had just watched the writer's benefit.
Editor Guo Mu: Are you serious?
Editor Guo Mu: The benefits you provide to writers are clearly stated above. If the contract is successfully signed, a bonus of 300 yuan will be issued.
Editor Guo Mu: After a minimum of 100,000 words is put on the shelves, if you write 6,000 words a day, you can still get 1,000 yuan a month.
Editor Guo Mu: If it can really be distributed according to this requirement, and the review standards you gave are so low, I think no one can pass it, right?
Aren’t all the scrapped manuscripts received by their magazine acceptable for publication?
No more 996 in this life: there is no threshold, and you will find that your workload is increasing day by day.
In my previous life, I heard that there was no threshold for writing online articles, so many people who couldn’t speak fluently even submitted articles.
Reviewing a large number of manuscripts every day, my friend's editor was on the verge of resigning every day before he was promoted to editor-in-chief in the early days.
…
When editor Guo Mu really got started, he found that website editing was much easier than them.
First of all, there is no need to proofread the manuscript at all. Typos, sentence errors, etc. are all corrected by the author herself, and she does not even need to provide any detailed opinions.
When there were not many early authors, she only needed to open her email, accept submissions, and review the manuscripts...
Finally, send a letter to the other party from the official backend.
"Hello, your work has reached the contract standard, please contact..."
"Sorry, your work does not meet the contract standards. I hope you..."
When the author signs the contract, a contract template will be issued, and the other party will print two copies and sign and fingerprint them at the designated location, and then attach a copy of the ID card and bank card...
Next, when the contract reaches the company, you can change the status of the book from the backend and issue the signing bonus immediately.
…
The signing bonus mechanism was also something Ding Wei seriously considered.
She has written novels herself and knows very well how much people expect feedback from something once it is done.
Especially for magazine submissions, many early stage submissions require about 20,000 to 30,000 words. During this period, whether you have passed or failed is also a kind of feedback.
And if you submit articles to magazines, you can get money.
system, plus there are not many people reading genuine books in the entire industry now, so those who are willing to come are either not short of money or extremely short of money.
In this case, if you really wait until 100,000 words are written before looking at the backend feedback, if wages and full attendance are paid next month, I am afraid that many people will not be able to persist in the early stage.
100,000 words, for a newcomer, it takes at least a month to write. How should you live during this month?
So Ding Wei joined a lot of author groups and discussed it carefully with everyone, so she set up a signing bonus of 300 yuan.
With this 300 yuan, it is not impossible to live frugally for a month. With this one-month buffer, you can get a 1,000 yuan perfect attendance bonus every month...
Invisibly, these 300 yuan will help the website retain more authors. Although everyone's skills vary, many people come here just for the 1,000 yuan.
But if you don’t pan for it, who knows whether there will be sparkling gold?
Because of this system, Ding Wei advertises in various places and is quite confident.
After all, we are not short of money, and our purpose is not to make money.
…
The specific preliminary work has not yet been clarified, and editor Guo Mu has not mentioned this matter to his circle.
After she started working for a week, she found that she only needed to go to the company on a fixed day a week to process the contracts she received, because currently the legal staff is still part-time and cannot stay in the company permanently.
The rest of the time is really quite casual and free.
Because authors who write novels online don’t care whether they receive messages in the early morning or during the day.
Just seeing it is enough to make them happy.
…
But such an atmospheric and romantic name matches a humble and simple company.
Apart from machines and densely packed lines, there were only eight unkempt young boys who seemed to be developing something day and night.
They all work part-time, taking classes when there are classes, and running to the school gate when there are no classes - yes, this company is in the office building at the school gate.
For part-time students, it couldn't be better.
As for editor Guo Mu, if it weren't for Ding Wei, she would have turned around and left when she saw this company.
This is too much like a pyramid scheme den.
…
Nowadays, when there are only a handful of submissions, the job of a part-time editor is so relaxing that even asking for money makes people feel nervous.
Guomu couldn't help but hit Ding Wei again.
Editor Guo Mu: Is this really all you need to do as an editor?
This Life Is No Longer 996: You only need these in the early stage, but if you have a good novel with a word count of 100,000 words, and you think it has good prospects, you can contact the other party to charge for listing.
But the promotion of the website has just begun. Not to mention that there are not many authors, there are not even many readers. This situation should be unlikely.
As for the rest…
The rest is nothing.
At most, the author has some concerns to communicate, which also need to be resolved by the editor. When plots and words that should not be written appear in the article, the editor also needs to deal with them in a timely manner.
The rest is really nothing.
…
Guomu thought about it carefully, and it seemed that the process was a little more complicated, but it was actually very smooth to get started.
It is similar to offline editing, but the workload is smaller.
"That's okay."
"But the function development of your website is really interesting."
Ding Wei sighed, feeling the vicissitudes in her heart and lighting up a cigarette——
You don’t know that for these functions that have not been developed yet, she will double the bonus she gives Zheng Minghe and the others every month.
However, there is one thing to say, although they are worthy of the bonus, they are still not as good as Xiuer.
However, for a small literary website that has not yet grown in size, it would be a bit overkill to find someone like Shour.
Anyway, my boyfriend is there. If he doesn't come or go, if anything happens, just ask him to help me contact foreign aid.
Ding Wei looked very relaxed.
…
"Oh, by the way, there are two books submitted today by men and women. You can help review them. I think they should be very promising."
This is a novel written by the major shareholder Bu Ming. Judging from the writing style and plot, it should become one of the top men's videos in the past two years.
In the other book, the wording and sentences cannot be said to be very good, but it is better because of the succession, the transition, the GCs one after another, the blood is poured out pot after pot, and the face is slapped layer by layer...
Reading through the entire 600,000 words, it’s a hearty pleasure!
It may not be a good book to say that it is a female channel, but it is a good book that can attract readers.
Ding Wei is very confident about this.
…
Editor Guo Mu: If you specifically explain it, I will definitely read these two books.
Editor Guo Mu: By the way, the publicity you have done in other forums and websites is quite good. The number of registered authors has increased sharply in recent days. There are a lot of things that need to be reviewed every day. I will hire a few more part-timers.
That's not the case.
Ding Wei has been spending money every day recently - without a serious financial system, she can only do it herself.
Fortunately, everyone worked together, and there were quite a few people who could help. For example, this kind of advertisement was posted in every forum, including various forums, groups, etc. to promote the welfare of writers.
Advertisements are posted once a day, and the advertisements are elaborated and installed on the roof. Full authority is entrusted to the futuristic professional navy that has not yet become a phenomenon, and they have made it prosperous.
And it only costs 50 cents for a post to be upvoted.
Excellent, excellent.
…
Ding Wei was very happy to give me the money.
There is no need to say more about how happy the troll was when he received the order. After all, this kind of posting has no technical content. Just find a group of brothers to post it, and the popularity will rise.
From morning to night, he can post more than 1,000 posts a day, and a few brothers can share one point. The leader of the trolls can also get more than 200 yuan a day.
Huge profits!
I don’t know who the wealthy boss is.
If you know how to spend money... come quickly!
Although it is a little difficult to require that posts cannot be deleted for three days, compared with money, it is naturally not a problem.
But there is no need for Ding Wei to explain this to Guomu in detail.
…
No More in This Life 996: Well, we will recruit part-timers first in the early stage. In the second half of the year, the company may move to a bigger and better environment. By then, there will be fixed jobs, personnel, wages and benefits will all keep up. Then we can consider it again.
Really full time.
In fact, if you have Bu Ming's 10 million, you can do it now.
But that doesn’t have to be the case. There are still more than three months left on the lease of that small office.
Being your own accountant and returning to your old profession, of course you have to plan everything carefully. Unfortunately, there are too many trivial matters nowadays...
Ding Wei clenched her fist——
By then, the website will definitely have more authors and attract more readers.
Only in this way can the scale be able to arrange talents in all aspects and departments in place, and she can completely get rid of these, and truly become a hands-off shopkeeper from now on, returning to her old profession.
But when it comes to returning to my roots...
"I plan to serialize the books I have serialized before on the Internet. The number of words will not exceed the update speed of your magazine. It is purely to attract traffic to the website."
"Do you want to discuss how much I have to pay to obtain the copyright for this part of the online serialization?"
Editor Guo Mu:?!!
There is also this kind of operation...
I wrote my own book, and after selling the serialization rights to a magazine, I had to buy back the online serialization rights...
Editor Guo Mu: We have never encountered this kind of problem.
Editor Guo Mu: But it seems that we should buy the reprint rights from other magazines.
Editor Guo Mu: It seems that we have caught up. Three local magazines are already buying the reprint rights from us. If there are quotations by then, I will communicate with you.
Generally, the price for reprinting rights is not very high, but it is another source of income for the magazine and the author.
Guomu was thinking about local reprinting. If we could negotiate it, Ding Wei probably wouldn't need to spend extra money to buy online reprinting rights.
However, online reprinting may also affect local reprinting. It is impossible for them to hide this matter, and it will still take a period of communication.
This Life Is No Longer 996: Yes, and you can tell the magazine that when serializing it online, it will indicate: This novel is being serialized in a certain magazine.
Editor Guo Mu:......
Editor Guo Mu: If we have accomplished this, then of course there will be no problem. The Internet can also build our reputation online and gather readers from further places where our reputation cannot be reached.
Just wait, I will give you a reply as soon as possible today and tomorrow.
No longer in this life 996: Also, don’t forget to recruit some more editors. Now that you are working part-time, you may have better benefits and switch to full-time.
Editor Guo Mu: I'll help you keep an eye on these people, but you don't have to think about me. It's pretty good for me to be in the workplace.
No More in This Life 996: How could you not consider it? You are the one who is truly capable. In other words, are you considering retreating?
Editor Guo Mu:......
"It's okay to ask me to withdraw, but your current website level is not enough."
