"I have started to publish it. When will the number of readers increase?"
Bu Ming walked over excitedly and asked expectantly.
Ding Wei thought for a while: "The number of words in most works now is still too small. Promotion has already begun, but take your time in the early stage."
When each book has at least 50,000 to 60,000 words that can be read, we will start to increase publicity.
Otherwise, the number is too small, and it will be difficult for many people to arouse interest, and it is unlikely to retain readers.
In fact, in Ding Wei's plan, the main promotion will start after the word count of most works reaches 100,000. At this time, intensive and large-scale promotion will be carried out for a few days, and then there will be a new user site for free reading, and new users are recommended to register for reading.
You can also receive red envelopes
Although this little trick sounds cheesy, it is indeed useful.
only
"I'm now worried about how to prevent theft."
Anyone who has a writer friend around him has probably heard him call him a thief.
Ding Wei also listened a lot.
"What anti-theft"
Bu Ming wondered: "Are you talking about piracy?"
"This" he thought for a moment: "Unless you don't show it to others, it's impossible to do it."
"Just do it"
Ding Wei was speechless halfway through her words.
Because she suddenly remembered that piracy these days is really about generating electricity for love.
There aren't that many serious pirated websites. After reading it, enthusiastic readers felt that they wanted to share it with others, so they typed it word by word on the Tieba forum.
The most outrageous thing is that some Xiuer even corrected typos.
This kind of love is so terrifying.
But I have to admit that in the first few years of the development of online articles, Tieba did help them gain most of their fame and played a certain role in publicity.
But in the long run, this behavior will certainly damage the interests of the author and the website, but for now, she has no other way to stop it.
Ding Wei smiled helplessly.
"Okay, let's put this aside first and take our time."
"My initial plan is to give new users free coins when they register, but there is a limit."
"If you want to continue to be free, you need readers to complete tasks on the website to receive bonus coins, such as signing in, commenting, collecting, and how long you have been reading."
"Of course, these bonus coins are valuable coins and will be calculated into the author's income."
They are all new authors. If the first wave of paid articles is free, it will virtually dissipate a lot of their enthusiasm.
Next, I'm afraid I won't be able to get excited anymore.
And for truly high-quality works, 1,000 yuan a month is simply not enough.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah"
Bu Ming is not very interested in these.
Anyway, it’s certain that his book can be serialized, so that’s fine.
At this moment, he nodded casually and said, "Have you read the website?"
"I think some of the stories are really good and very imaginative."
He read one yesterday.
It's about a modern oceanographer who dies and becomes possessed by an undersea creature.
At first, he was surrounded by green water plants. He had no idea who he was.
There seems to be something wrong with his eyesight, and he can't tell what he looks like.
Later, he practiced hard and broke away from the shackles of the environment on his body. He followed a large group of fellow tribesmen to rise to the surface of the water carrying a ball of the same green water plants, and unexpectedly found a broken lens brought by the waves.
Through this startling glance, he discovered
I'm actually a fucking dugong
Lying in a big trough.
Even if you live among aquatic plants every day and no one can see you, we can’t just grow as we please.
And it looks like a bear. In ancient times, it could be mistaken for a mermaid.
The author is very fast and seems to know a lot about marine life. The description of each feature is very vivid, and the wording and sentences are quite humorous.
It is this brain circuit that makes Yi Ming never think that such an operation exists.
More than 60,000 words were written, and the other person slowly cultivated from a dugong, died and was possessed again and again, and now he has become a hairtail fish.
At the end of the article, he was dazed and hung up directly by a fishhook.
The writing style is average, but the plot is quite interesting. When Bu Ming saw this, the rest was gone, and he is still thinking about it now.
He thought about this book and sighed: "I thought my idea was quite brilliant before, but I didn't expect that there are so many people with better ideas on the Internet."
"Sure enough, it is right to build a website. Otherwise, how can we see everyone's excellence?"
Ding Wei also had to admit this.
Although most of the websites attracted are inexperienced authors, in terms of this kind of imagination, physical magazines cannot match it.
Although the writing style and storyline are somewhat lacking, these can be slowly improved through continuous writing and self-improvement. As far as the current level is concerned, it is not bad.
Of course, there is one more thing
The reason why everyone updates so quickly is because the editor told them that if they write 100,000 words, if they write well, they will have a chance to be published.
If you can grasp it, then starting from the month it is put on the shelves, if you update 6,000 yuan every day for more than 30 days, you can receive a 1,000 yuan bonus.
Now that it is the middle of the month, the most cost-effective thing is to increase the number of words to 100,000 words at the end of the month to gain a chance to be published.
If this is the case, wouldn’t everyone be able to update quickly?
We all have little experience, so now we are crossing the bridge by feeling the stones, just take it step by step.
Navy leader Awang has received his new job.
The boss I worked with last time didn't mention it. He was very open and honest in handling matters and he was very quick to give out money.
A few of their brothers made a few posts on computers and easily earned tens of thousands of dollars.
Simply
If it weren't for this business, the brothers wouldn't be able to correctly understand the prospects of this industry. Now that they have taken the money, he, the boss, is the only one who follows his lead.
Awang also felt very proud.
However, the promotion and posting of posts is not endless.
After all, the customer has asked for it, so you can’t send out a large number of brushes repeatedly to avoid arousing everyone’s resentment.
However, the current resources on hand will soon be almost exhausted, and he is thinking about where to take the next business.
Unexpectedly, the boss from before came to knock him again.
Awang was so excited that he pushed the boy next to him away and sat in front of the computer.
"Brother, do you have any other instructions?"
It's not yet time for settlement, so the message is naturally not for money.
Awang was looking forward to it very much.
The other party was also happy.
"New cooperation, help promote this website."
"New users register with their real names and receive 1,000 gold coins as a gift to their account."
"Recommend five new users to register. In addition to 1,000 gold coins for each account, the recommender can receive an additional 30 yuan."
"Recommend fifteen new users to register, and the recommender can receive an additional 100 yuan cash reward."
Ngawang's tiger body trembled.
He turned around and counted the brothers around him. Including him, no more, no less, exactly six.
What else is there to say?
He accepted the business without saying a word, and was the first to register an account for Dreamweaver Literature Network.
However, when registering, he discovered that this account cannot be registered with a small account, because it is a real-name authentication system, and only one account can be registered with one ID number.
At the same time, after the registration is completed, a page requesting to bind bank card information will pop up, with the following words displayed in large letters:
"Dear user, welcome to join the Dream Weaver Literature Network. Please follow the requirements below to bind your bank card information so that rewards can be issued later."
"Note: Please rest assured that we will not disclose your personal information in any way. If your account suffers losses due to website attacks, we will compensate you in full."
Awang took a puff of his cigarette and said, this small website is quite formal even though it is new.
He didn't think it was anything.
In fact, many communication forums nowadays require real-name registration, and binding to online banking is also a similar process.
He bound it without saying a word, and then sent the invitation code given to his brothers, asking them to also register.
When the reminder department is successfully registered, everyone opens the backend of their account and takes a look. Sure enough, there are 1,000 gold coins that can be used as rewards for reading books on the website.
At the same time, Awang’s account also received an on-site message:
"Dear user Wangzai is not a little steamed bun, thank you for your strong support to the website. To thank you for your help, the bonus will be distributed to your bank account within 24 hours, please pay attention to check it."
Awang couldn't help but laugh. This little website is so efficient.
He suddenly became energetic, and now he summed it up with his brothers:
"Hurry, hurry up, if you have any friends, bring them in."
You can earn 100 yuan by recruiting 15 people, dozens of them a day, and over 10,000 yuan a month, right?
Here he is dragging his friends and relatives, and here he is constantly refreshing the website to promote it. At the moment, Awang is really busy with his feet off the ground.
Over here, Ding Wei watched the money being automatically transferred from her account and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Zheng Minghe next to her.
"You can do it. You can do this. It's amazing."
Zheng Minghe smiled tiredly. The studies in his junior year are just as heavy.
but
"This is not our fault, we just set up a structure or something, it's them"
Five students from the Department of Computer Science work part-time. During this time, they are motivated by bonuses and work harder than anyone else every day.
They can participate in internships immediately. The school's courses are basically non-existent. Not only can they accumulate experience here every day, but they can also earn money. Naturally, the harder they work, the more they will gain.
Ding Wei never expected that even though the entire website system was watertight, it could actually integrate internal accounts and financial systems.
These days, many accountants have not yet used them.
One of the boys chuckled and felt a little embarrassed.
"I have a relative who has been doing this. This is a trial version he specially designed for our website."
It is said that it is tailor-made, which means that the systems that are usually sold are slightly adjusted with small details.
He was still a little embarrassed: "He said that if the boss likes it, this system can be sold to us."
They work with computers every day, and their ideas are not that complicated. At this moment, they are thinking about the instructions of their relatives:
If you want to try out such a system and you are willing to spend money to buy it, just treat it as a trial version in the early stage, which is fine.
If you don't want to spend money, just treat him as a system seller and make another friend. The website will get a trial version for free, so you have nothing to lose.
So the little intern didn't say anything and just agreed.
However, there are several juniors in the company who are their seniors in the company. Although there was some awkwardness at first, over time there has been no barrier and everyone has a good relationship.
This matter may be big or small. They are not the ones to worry about it. They must report what should be reported.
Now when I tell Ding Wei, under the witness of everyone, it is indeed very convenient to apply it.
The background data showed that the invitation code was activated by five people, and the corresponding account immediately prompted that funds could be transferred, but the boss's permission was still required.
For Ding Wei, although it is a little cumbersome, it is already a rare and easy-to-use system these days.
"Then have your relatives told you whether this financial system can have hierarchical authorization?"
Ding Wei didn't think it was anything.
She is someone who has experienced future generations. It is difficult to handle such complicated accounting without professional finance and systems.
But nowadays, some small companies are not willing to spend money on this at all. They would rather hire a few more financial people to do the work, and do not believe in this kind of thing.
Or maybe it’s not that they don’t believe it, it’s just that compared to paying a lump sum to buy the system, they prefer to hire someone to squeeze it out over time.
If this is not the case, they are only selling a system, why do they need to be so thoughtful?
"Yes, yes."
The young intern nodded repeatedly, not expecting that he could really help.
"OK."
Ding Wei agreed:
"Communicate with the other party and ask if you can make an appointment for a meal. We can discuss the price of this system, as well as subsequent upgrades and other functions."
System preparation is only one aspect.
Once the publicity campaign is launched, the company is indeed recruiting people.
Not only do we have to recruit people, we also have to re-select a location.
Ding Wei sat at the table and sighed. She thought she could last another half year. Why is it so difficult to save money?
Front desk, finance, personnel, programmer, editor, administration, publicity
Bu Ming's ten million, if he continues like this, he can only last for two years at most.
Needless to say, if you want to retain employees, choosing a company location is also a major priority.
But thinking about the current housing prices, Ding Wei felt a little more relieved and called the familiar agent again.
After all, the intermediary industry is not standardized these days. This was introduced by the trustee. I only made the call when there was no problem with the previous cooperation.
The agency guy is a very enthusiastic young man.
I called Ding Wei to see her. She was probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she was very proficient in speaking and doing things, and she didn't feel unfamiliar at all.
The most important thing is that she acted with sincerity and didn't feel that Ding Wei was young so she was perfunctory.
When he heard about such a big deal, the young man ran over on his scooter with a picture album without saying a word.
"Sister, you are really good at timing. We have just accepted a house that is very good and suits your requirements. Come and take a look."
“Yunxiao Building in Xihe District, the owner just got it at the end of December last year, it’s brand new”
"No, the floor has been laid for you, the walls have been painted for you, and the office furnishings have been arranged for you. This is suitable for high-tech people like you who start your own business at a young age."
Ding Wei:
Not to mention anything else, just the intermediary guy's mouth, that's really it.
Ding Wei couldn't help but touch her face.
Sighed.
It’s strange that it’s difficult, no matter what I say, it’s inappropriate.
but
"Sky Tower."
Ding Wei murmured that she had an impression of this building.
It’s not anything else, but it seems that in a few years, a very large shopping mall will be built nearby, which will drive up the surrounding land prices.
As for why she remembers it so clearly, it's of course because she can't afford anything in this mall.
Of course it is suitable to live here now, but if the surrounding housing prices rise and the rent here also rises, it will not be necessary for them.
After all, I am engaged in online literature, so there is no need to do it in a too prosperous place.
Mainly because they are not industry giants.
But thinking about it, Ding Wei laughed again
I don’t know how many more years it will take.
Judging from the picture book the agency guy brought, this place is quite good. The main thing is that everything is new, which makes people happy just looking at it.
Moreover, the Yunxiao building has a total height of 32 floors, which is quite good as a company’s facade.
The agency guy was very good at observing people's emotions. He knew there was something going on as soon as he saw her expression. He quickly came over and introduced her carefully:
"The one we moved in is the 19th floor, with a total area of 500 square meters. The workstations are concentrated and can accommodate hundreds of people. The monthly rent is 11,000 yuan, including property fees."
Ding Wei frowned.
It’s not like she has no reference to today’s commercial buildings.
Yunxiao Tower sounds very grand, but Xihe District is actually still an old city. There are many construction sites around it and it is in the development stage. It has neither a quiet environment nor a bustling urban area.
Standing by the window and looking around, there are construction sites everywhere.
Although it is a bit far from the building itself, which does not hinder it, the price is indeed expensive.
As soon as she frowned, the agency guy said quickly.
"Don't refuse in a hurry. Okay, we have to take a look. If you have time, why don't we go over and take a look?"
This is true.
It's a bit far away, and it would be a bit inappropriate to let the agency guy ride his scooter.
Ding Wei simply drove him there.
When the car parked, she discovered that the intersection outside the fountain flower bed of this office building was blocked by construction somewhere.
Her heart moved.
“This is the subway line”
"You are so discerning"
The agent guy slapped his face: "I just want to take you to see this, Line 4, which is expected to be completed in August this year. It is because of this that the price of this office building is high now."
Ding Wei was really surprised.
At this time, there were only a few subway lines in the imperial capital, so traveling by bus was still very inconvenient.
What's more, with the subway, it will be more convenient for employees to commute to and from get off work, which will invisibly leave many capable employees for him.
but
"It is expected to be completed in August. Whether it can actually be completed at this time is another matter, not to mention that it will take a long time for the subway to open."
"It's April now, so the rent increase shouldn't be like this."
She was picky, but the agency guy was the least afraid of being picky.
"Listen to me. As for Yunxiao Tower, we have a requirement. The minimum lease term is two years. During this period, the rent is 10 days per year. Of course, there is also priority in renewing the lease."
"But, if you sign the contract now, you can be exempted from paying for the property's water and electricity for a whole year."
"You think 11,000 is expensive now, but as soon as the subway line here is completed, the surrounding area is booming with development. Then the price will not keep rising again."
"The landlord is not short of money, so he thought it would be more convenient and trouble-free. If you are willing, we can sign the rent for five years, and the price is still RMB 10 per year."
"House prices in this imperial capital are changing rapidly. Every square meter will cost you a few dollars more every night."
"If you think about it this way, is it a good deal to rent it in the past two years?"
Ding Wei: My heart beats really hard.
"Then I'll think about it again. I'll see if there are any other places."
The agent guy didn't feel disappointed, but continued to nod: "Yes, yes, I'll show you again, there is another one in Wenhua District."
There is something to say
once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking.
I had a template in my mind, and when I looked at other items, I found something that didn't please me. Either the items were old, the space was small, or the price wasn't cost-effective.
After wandering around like this all day, Ding Wei finally made the decision to go to Sky Tower.
After several negotiations with the agent, we finally acquired this floor at a price of 125,000 per year.
Of course, the contract is for five years.
While Ding Wei lamented that the money was not spent, she was also busy arranging the remaining office supplies.
But she might have to break her legs to do this alone.
Ding Wei looked at the passing time while driving the car and sighed:
This company still needs to find a professional to look at it.
With her current connections, it would actually be difficult.
After thinking about it, I could only go back and ask my all-powerful bestie for help.
Isn’t that where my brother’s connections are kept?
Don't ask for more, just get in touch and give me your contact information.
When a new company location is decided, of course Bu Ming and his employees will be notified as soon as possible.
However, Bu Ming only wanted to write and didn't worry about the website at all. Ding Wei spent the money on changing the site for the new company. He didn't even bother to listen, but took it for granted.
Ding Wei:
She could only tell the editor Guomu the good news, and at the same time she also wanted to show the strength of the website and let Guomu consider the matter of internal withdrawal.
There has to be an editor-in-chief to support the scene.
Moreover, Guomu has been in the industry for many years, whether it is Simplified and Traditional Chinese publishing or anything else, she has no shortage of contacts in all aspects.
With her here, if there is an excellent website that wants to take the copyright route, it will save a lot of trouble.
Fruit trees:
It's only been a few days
How come such a big stall was opened as soon as it was announced?
And from another perspective, there are quite a few books available on the website.
Looking at it like this, and with her husband helping to look at it, Guomu now actually felt that this industry was really promising.
but
Lets see.
Wait a month or two. If everything is on track and the salary is sufficient, then you can go back inside.
After all, it is a semi-public institution, and the connections are there, so everything is easy to talk about.
