Chapter 444: Website comparison (boring and jumping)
All joking aside, what needs to be clarified still needs to be clarified.
Xie Yancu frowned:
"We only met once. She didn't even remember what I looked like before. How could she have such strong emotions? And she even wrote it in a novel?"
After thinking for a while, he looked at his girlfriend carefully:
"I heard that writers like to draw materials from life. You...haven't you written about such a character?"
I haven't read many novels in the past year, and Xie Yan always feels that he is not so accurate about his girlfriend now.
What if Weiwei also sees a good-looking boy or girl on the roadside...
No, not even on the side of the road.
He fell into deep worry - he almost forgot that Bai Shanshan opened an entertainment company. Didn't he just pick and choose the handsome men and beauties in it?
Xie Yan was wary.
To be honest, his girlfriend sometimes behaves like a scumbag, and she doesn't seem to be very determined at all.
Instead, he looks like a sea king.
…
"Then how do I know?"
Ding Wei also laughed helplessly.
"If you didn't say that she didn't write, I wouldn't even know that you two met downstairs in the dormitory. If it's like you said, it's just a matter of filling out a form and registering... then it's too easy for her to get the information. Bar."
Xie Yan's face looked ugly.
No matter who you are, as long as you have normal outlook on life, you probably won’t be able to accept that this kind of character is wearing your own shell.
"Just write, I have nothing to do with her anyway, but why did she say those specious things in the comment area?"
Ding Wei glanced at him helplessly:
"Do you even need to ask? Are you not confident in your appearance? People are just living their dreams in their own fantasies."
Maybe this is what Lu Li thinks is romantic.
Comrade Xiao Xie felt depressed.
At this moment, he drank half of the water in the glass in one gulp and said angrily:
"Dream Weaver Literature Network is yours, now I can also blow my pillow, right? Hurry! Use the hidden rules and beat her down hard."
Just by saying this, she has the charm of a vicious female supporting role.
…
Ding Wei couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, he quickly comforted the angry Xie Baobao: "The beating is over, the beating is over."
"Didn't you see that as soon as she made a little move, I immediately grabbed her pigtails and then said this harshly to you without hesitation?"
"Now that she has become famous in the industry, isn't this enough?"
This is really a woman's mouth, and she can tell any kind of lies.
Did she make Lu Li famous because of herself?
fraud.
Xie Yan glanced at Ding Wei helplessly - his girlfriend could only pretend to be confused.
However, now he was a little curious.
"Her novels can earn her a monthly income of 30,000 yuan... Do readers' tastes tend to be this way nowadays? So, wouldn't she still be successful if she changed her website and her pen name?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Ding Wei laughed.
"Can your girlfriend's website contract be too harsh? She lives by pen."
"Her 30,000 yuan includes reader rewards, 37 subscriptions, a monthly bonus of 10,000 yuan, and perfect attendance of 1,000 yuan..."
"Except for our Dreamweaver, there is no platform that offers 30-7 split accounts. And there is no platform that allows her to secure a monthly bonus of 10,000 yuan without any effort, let alone 1,000 yuan for perfect attendance..."
"I don't know if she can earn 30,000 yuan a month in another place, but her life is definitely not as easy as before."
After all, in the past, you just had to immerse yourself in writing. The real-name authentication of the website includes various benefits and rules, making readers very considerate.
Nowadays, I'm afraid it takes a lot of effort to compete for the rankings.
…
Ding Wei's words were partly correct, but not accurate.
Lu Li's current situation is obviously more miserable.
Changed the platform, changed the pen name, and went into battle with a new light.
However, what the new beginning brought her was not a book to become a god, nor was it a monthly income of 30,000 yuan? Instead, she was not even qualified to compete for the rankings.
Not every website is willing to spend huge sums of money to build the website in the early stages of building it? At the same time, there are eight programmers who perform daily maintenance, develop new features, fix bugs, etc.
Not every website is willing to restrict the writing style of novels? Try to put a layer of positive energy of the times on it.
This new website she changed is already a website comparable to Dream Weaver Literature Network in the industry. However, the traffic of male-channeled novels here is a hundred times greater than that of female-channeled novels.
At the same time, competition is also very high.
Including brushing votes to compete for the rankings.
…
Yes, that's right.
Brush votes to compete for the rankings.
There is no 30/70 split for the new website? It can only be 50/50 at most.
The new website does not have a thousand words for perfect attendance.
And now? Lu Li successfully put it on the shelves after a month of frantic coding. Only then did she realize that it took some work to get the votes for her work to be on the list.
This is simply impossible on the DreamWeaver Literature Network.
Is the background program strictly controlled? Any unreasonable votes may be counted as invalid votes. In addition, each reader account requires real-name authentication, so the number of votes is very transparent.
But now, Lu Li sees that she has been crushed to outside the 20th place on the female channel list, and it is really unbearable for a while that this gap is unbearable.
Starting from scratch, starting from a newbie and slowly climbing up, for a true newcomer? It may not feel like anything.
But she has already enjoyed the glory of being at the top of the list, and now she is looking at the slowly creeping data and the pitifully small allocation of recommended spots for newcomers, and her life is really difficult.
Fortunately, after what happened last time, she probably knew her reputation, so she didn’t dare to say anything to the editor. She could only endure it silently.
I thought: Wait until the day it goes on sale? Her results will definitely shock everyone!
Once again, a book can be crowned as a god? It’s simply a matter of time.
…
However, the dream shines into reality, and the reality turns out to be a mess.
It has been on the shelves for a week now.
A week later, Lu Li has not even made it into the top 30 of the new book bestseller list, let alone the overall list.
As for the golden ticket list...
There were turbulent storms and fierce bloody battles ahead, not to mention a newcomer like her.
But...this is impossible!
Shouldn’t a good novel be popular wherever it goes?
Lu Li looked at the book at the front of the list and fell into deep self-doubt.
At the same time, there is also panic.
…
This newly signed website actually has a history of several years, and has produced many accomplished authors, who are also well-known in the Internet literary circle.
Therefore, the books on the website have a mature and unique style, especially the girls' channel, most of which are based on ancient romance, and nine out of ten best-selling books are in this category.
This is also the mainstream direction today.
Not just this website, but most of them.
The Dream Weaver Literature Network also has many mature ancient-style works, but since the initial expansion of the circle was from college students, many authors have good writing skills.
At the same time, under the leadership of a group of masters with a variety of styles, their path is a bit wild, so that their imagination is opened and they are no longer limited to the background.
In this environment, readers will naturally not choose the subject matter.
As long as they look good, they dare to try any style.
At the same time, the recommendation positions of Dreamweaver Literature Network are relatively fair.
It is undeniable that the most eye-catching recommendation position still depends on performance. But newcomers also have their own opportunities, and the development of newcomers will not be affected by best-selling books.
Whether your grades are good or bad all depends on your level, but you will never let a good book remain unknown.
…
But the website I replaced is different.
The origin of online literature may be hobby.
However, development has become more mature so far, and it is time for most websites to enter profit mode.
The style of the old website is stable, and the recommendation position is also quite stable.
The editor has fixed these authors with good results and recommended them in turn.
Newcomers may not be able to wait for a decent opportunity for two or three months.
And without exposure, there are no readers. Without readers, how can we talk about potential?
Under this circumstance, if Lu Li had not left her name with the editor who had previously negotiated the contract, I am afraid that the recommendation position would have been lost.
However, even if there are recommendations, in the overall environment of female videos that follow the ancient style, readers rarely challenge new themes.
Especially - new themes that seem to be ranked quite average.
…
Lu Li was now vaguely aware of the problem.
There's nothing wrong with her writing, there's nothing wrong with the story... There must be something wrong with the background.
But it happened that in the past year, her professional courses were a mess, and her beginning of writing books was to follow Ding Wei's footsteps and follow the modern style, ancient romance, etc., and she really didn't dare to try a word.
Without an excellent book to give her examples, it would be difficult for her to be inspired.
But at the same time, the problem doesn’t stop just once.
Ding Wei is someone with experience, and has heard countless times from friends who are writers complaining about the unfriendly environment and the harsh use of words.
What was a problem more than ten years later is simply not a problem now.
Many serious websites and novels feature sexy girls on their covers.
Especially the male harem stories are so well written that they bring the car to life. This is one of the most attractive features for readers nowadays.
…
Ding Wei feels that instead of cutting off all outstanding works in a large scale in the later stage, it is better to control them from the early stage.
It is not so harsh, and it will not be as unreasonable as the later network review, but it also clearly requires that driving is not allowed in the article, and some things that should not be described cannot be described.
To be honest, this is also the reason why a large number of mature authors balk at the requirements of humor.
But at the same time, aside from these hot spots that can quickly attract attention, everyone's attention can be focused on the quality of the entire article.
After men and women become familiar with the routines, they get rid of the greasy style of the past, open up their imaginations, and win with quality. Many young students no longer need to be secretive and embarrassed when reading novels.
The environment of Dreamweaver Literature Network is so good that Lu Li, who has now changed the website, always feels out of place.
Looking at the top ten male and female videos on the website today, at least 70% of them are playing on the sidelines, and 10% of them are straight shots.
The readers were moved with excitement, but the authors were left scratching their heads.
…
How can Lu Li learn from this?
She has always thought highly of herself and felt that her writing style was superior. How could she see such "evil ways"?
The style is not in line with the taste of the readers of the website, and they have not figured out the various ranking routines. Even the article has a strange drool-worthy style...
In short, it's all nonsense.
It has only been on the shelves for less than a week, and many readers in the comment area already feel that the slap-in-the-face plot is too repetitive, even like some novels...
This "certain novel" really scared Lu Li into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, everyone seemed to not want to bring up the old matter again, for fear of causing quarrels, so they all tacitly avoided talking about it.
Learning from the lessons learned from the previous time, Lu Li attached great importance to the comment area this time and did not even dare to update it too much to avoid data collapse again.
But despite this, the total income earned during the week after the store was launched did not exceed 500 yuan, which really hit Lu Li very hard.
--This in the end is why?
Jingran Youlian’s novels are best-selling in magazines and also on websites.
The same is true for Xiao Bailian's new work. Every day, a lot of people in the comment area are waving flags and shouting, frantically urging updates.
This can even be considered cross-platform writing, but these two people are not acclimated at all.
And she just switched from one website to another, so why is the data so different?
…
Looking at the short-term rental house she had rented due to lack of money, and thinking about the little savings she had left, Lu Li touched the gold bracelet on her wrist and couldn't help feeling nervous.
The rent for short-term rentals is not cheap, but the advantage is that you can check out at any time.
With other rental houses, it is difficult to find a suitable one, and they allow her to rent a house for only one or two months.
Finally, Lu Li successfully rented such a small house.
It's winter, you can't sleep in an unheated garage anymore, right?
There is really no way around this.
Based on her results, even if she only received three months' salary, she would still be able to accumulate a lot of wealth.
But there was nothing she could do, she really had no plan to spend the money.
In December, her income from the Dreamweaver Literature Network was zero, and in January, there was also no income from the new book issue. Now it was February, and tomorrow was New Year's Eve, but she was still sitting alone in the rental house, in front of her
, only a cold notebook.
There is also a backend with mediocre data.
The sadness at this moment hit her heart, making her eyes turn red.
During the Chinese New Year, she couldn't be with her family.
…
However, it’s okay not to go back.
Lu Li gritted her teeth and thought——
At worst, I can sell the jewelry I have purchased one after another in the past few months, and I can always persevere until I succeed.
But if you go home during the Chinese New Year, and there is no internet in a poor mountain village, I am afraid that at the end of the year there will be people asking for debts in your home.
The debt of tens of thousands of dollars was partially paid off last year. It should be settled this year, right?
Her brother worked in the imperial capital for a whole year and didn't know how much money he earned.
Is it enough to repay this debt?
Even if working for a whole year is enough, what about the rest of the day?
Is it possible that the Chinese New Year will continue to be shabby?
…
Thinking of the family that looked down upon him, they would end up falling into endless debt...
Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.
Her mother placed all her hopes on her eldest brother's family and did not trust or care about her at all. If she could save a lot of money...
