Start earning money as the girl next door

"That's good!" Zhao Han said, "On five working days every week, a total of 15 chapters can be changed. This speed can be maintained, with two chapters updated every day. It is barely faster than the serial authors who are currently contracted to put it on the shelves, but it does not have the quality The real advantage of speed... If you want to rely on speed to feed readers, you actually need to update more than [-] words per day!"

"Oh!" Liu Mengcheng said after hearing this, "It seems that it is really not easy to be a real professional writer!"

Before, when Liu Mengcheng was writing alone at home, he would write about 1000 words a day, and he already felt that he was diligent enough.

But gradually she realized that many Internet article writers wrote daily, writing two to three thousand words a day, which was a routine operation. Therefore, she inevitably had a little doubt about her writing ability.

"Of course, the update speed of online writers now has not reached the writing speed of professional martial arts novel writers in the heyday of martial arts novels. This is the initial stage of commercialization of online novels. The update speed of authors is not too fast. From now on, I’m afraid we will have to gradually enter a new era of updating thousands of words every day.”

Zhao Han said, "To a certain extent, you first need to gradually increase the speed of revision. In terms of the quality of writing, don't be too demanding. Some over-the-top details will only improve the perception of ordinary readers who can read ten lines at a glance.

You are not writing for writers, but for ordinary readers who read novels to kill time.Some readers have never even read traditional literary works and are too elegant, which actually plays the role of dyslexia. "

"Yeah!" Liu Mengcheng may have been working behind closed doors for too long, or he may have been too lonely.

I don't feel disgusted at all that Zhao Han is such a good teacher, but I feel that I have learned a lot of useful things.

……

In the afternoon, continue coding.

Zhao Han was typing on the keyboard with ease, writing about the subject of rebirth, which was not difficult for him at all.

Two to three thousand words per hour, and I also did some initial revisions by the way, which reduced Liu Mengcheng's workload in the rewriting process.

After realizing the speed requirements for professional writing, Liu Mengcheng also began to have some urgency.

I saw that she even picked up an alarm clock to remind herself of the progress of rewriting. She must rewrite one page of manuscript in 30 minutes and two pages of manuscript in one hour. A rough estimate is that the rewriting speed is about 1000 words in one hour.

Theoretically, at this pace, Liu Mengcheng could complete 8000 words in eight hours a day, but this was too rude.

Zhao Han proposed to revise 3 chapters a day at a speed of more than 6000 words, taking into account Liu Mengcheng's skill proficiency.

In essence, Liu Mengcheng will most likely not be a fast writer, and Zhao Han's expectations for her are mainly based on her writing skills.Through the advantages of her writing style, the novel manuscripts written by Zhao Han are empowered with higher writing style!

In terms of coding speed, Zhao Han can handle it.

Soon it was five o'clock in the afternoon.

In four hours in the afternoon, Zhao Han coded a total of 8000 words, and another 6000 words in the morning.

One superposition.

Throughout the day, 1.4 words were added to the "Zhao Edition" folder.

"It's five o'clock, why don't you call it a day?" Zhao Han added water to the tea cup, then drank the tea and looked at Liu Mengcheng, who was still busy.

"It's almost done, it's almost done! It's just the last page and it's ready." Liu Mengcheng looked a little anxious, as anxious as when the end bell rang for an exam and the Chinese composition was almost unfinished.

"Okay... 10 minutes, don't go overtime." Zhao Han said, "What I hate most is the overtime dog! I pretend to be hardworking and lead others to work overtime, which ruins the atmosphere."

"..." Liu Mengcheng didn't have time to answer. He concentrated on the final sprint and completed the copy of the manuscript.

After half an hour.

She put down the pen and paper and counted the manuscripts.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..." Liu Mengcheng looked back at Zhao Han and said, "7 pages, about 3500 words. I finished 2000 in the morning and about 5500 in the whole day, almost three. chapter."

"That's it!" Zhao Han took the manuscripts edited by Liu Mengcheng and read them one by one. Then, he organized the manuscripts and said, "Tomorrow morning, you will enter the manuscripts into the Liuban manuscript folder by yourself. Learn to use keyboard codes. Handwriting is very necessary. Just the speed is definitely not comparable to handwriting."

"I think it's pretty good now. Slow work brings out fine work. Also, now that you only have one computer, if you use it all, what will you do with coding?" Liu Mengcheng looked at him, shook his head and said.

"It's better to practice first, it won't hurt you. If you are still writing with a pen now, you are already very conservative, stubborn and unprofessional." Zhao Han said.

"By the way, how is the collection of works, recommendation votes and other data now?" Liu Mengcheng asked, changing the subject.

"Okay, let's take a look." Zhao Han reluctantly opened the author's backend to check the latest data.

Zhao Han actually doesn't care much about these data.

After all, if you upload it in the first place, with new people and new books, can your results still be incredible?

Even for a very powerful book, it takes a while for word-of-mouth to grow.It was impossible to upload Chapter 1, and within a few hours, the popularity exploded.

According to the law of Internet communication, even if a hit item comes out, it still needs all kinds of fueling and momentum building to lead to a rapid increase in popularity.

The same goes for online articles. They have a lot of words, they signed a contract, they were recommended, and they gradually started to take off.

This is the normal step for most novels to take off in popularity.

An unknown newcomer writes a new book, wants to run naked, is discovered by readers, and becomes popular in a short time. This kind of mythical story gradually becomes popular as the number of novels in online literature increases and becomes more and more commercialized. It disappeared from the world.

In the early days when novels were serialized on BBS, the number of novels was extremely rare. Indeed, most online novels became popular through their gradual discovery by netizens.

However, after many novel websites were established, and after the main traffic channel of the platform was in the hands of website operators, it gradually became difficult to rely on novel updates to be discovered by readers and become popular.

Although it does not block the channels for readers to find books in the library, readers looking for books in the library themselves are undoubtedly very niche.Most readers discover novels through rankings and recommendations.

Chapter 19 I know Internet literature better than the founder of Pastry Chinese Network

Log in to the author backend.

Liu Mengcheng rubbed his hands nervously.

Zhao Han was relatively normal. He also wrote 1000 million words in later generations, and seven or eight books were listed on major websites.

They all hold a relatively calm attitude towards the data on new book openings.

Because his experience before his rebirth made him very aware of the fact that if a new book written by a not-so-famous author is not recommended, the possibility of being discovered by readers is very low.

Even the current Pastry Chinese website has only a few thousand books in its library.It is not as difficult for readers to find books directly in the library as it was in later generations.

But... when readers search for books by themselves, they first look at the books in the library that have the most clicks, the most favorites, the most recommendation votes, and the most words.

The new book just uploaded does not have any advantage.

as predicted……

《重生1990文艺时代》新书上传了5个多小时，仅仅获得，点击12、推荐票5、收藏6。

Zhao Han found this data boring.

I don’t feel disappointed at all, I just think it’s a decent result for a new book by an unknown author.The ability to attract clicks and collections is probably due to the title and introduction of the book.

Although, when he wrote "Rebirth of the 1990s Literary Era", Zhao Han believed that he was suppressing the creativity of an era and creating a genre of urban rebirth.

But in fact, he also knew that even if the book had creative advantages, it would still take a process for word-of-mouth to gradually spread.

Take "The Biography of a Mortal's Cultivation of Immortality", a slow-burning masterpiece of later generations, as an example. In the early days, almost no one paid attention to this book. The editor didn't care about it and the readers didn't love it. What the hell did they think of this book?

In the early days, after updating every day, mortal authors would go to the major book review sections of the site to advertise their works. Many authors even deleted their reviews and made bad comments.

It was not until hundreds of thousands of words were written in "Mortal" that its popularity gradually improved.

Only then did the website editors sign up for Mortal.After signing the contract, "Mortal" really skyrocketed, which is not comparable to ordinary cultivation novels.

But to say that the editor didn’t feel sorry for it and the readers didn’t love it at the beginning, is it really that everyone is collectively blind?Not entirely.

After all, at the beginning, "Mortal" had a small number of words, so many people thought it was just an ordinary follow-up film after "Piaomiao" and "Zhu Xian".

Unexpectedly, after writing "Mortal", I gradually gained my own worldview, and its reputation gradually exploded.

Even a book like "Mortal", which created a genre and was the originator of "Mortal", was not favored in the early days and was regarded as a small hit.

It can be seen that when a newcomer’s new book is just uploaded, there are not many words, and he has not even signed a contract, he fantasizes about becoming famous overnight... He is really overthinking!

"How is it? This data?" Liu Mengcheng asked.

"Well..." Zhao Han hesitated.

"Isn't it good?" Liu Mengcheng's face seemed to fade a little.

"That's not true..." Zhao Han said, "One collection is our own, and the other collections are collected by real readers. Five hours, one collection per hour, is not too bad for a pure newcomer with a new book. "

Some websites in later generations are afraid that new authors will be eunuchs if they don't persist until they sign a contract.

I even thought about it. In the new book issue, some robots will be automatically collected by new authors to comfort the authors not to stop updating or to be eunuchs.

When the number of words reaches a certain level, or when a contract is signed, the robot collection will automatically stop.At that time, when a new author opened a new book, it was not easy to confirm whether the collection was a real person or a robot on the website.

But at this stage, the website still lacks some routines, at least, it has not yet developed a treasure trove of street fighting tools such as robot collection.

"Not too good?" Liu Mengcheng asked disappointedly.

"How do I say this? This is good for newcomers. They only upload Chapter 1. After an interval of 6 hours, upload another chapter. It will be refreshed in the update list on the homepage and may be discovered by readers. Now, without any list blessing, the homepage The update list is the biggest opportunity for exposure." Zhao Han said, "I will update another chapter tonight and see how it goes tomorrow."

"Oh...you know all this?" Liu Mengcheng was very surprised.

"Of course... I know more about online writing than the founder of Pastry Chinese Network!" Zhao Han said boldly.

"Giggle, giggle..." Liu Mengcheng couldn't help but laugh, feeling that Zhao Han was so awesome.

But in fact, Zhao Han did not go into details. He may really know more than the founder of Pastry Chinese Network.

For example, the turning point of online writing, as well as some important new novel genres... there are many explosive ideas, some of which can support a small platform with a book.

If it weren't for Zhao Han's lack of capital and his inability to write code, it's not certain that the first thing he would do after his rebirth would be to open a novel website to seize the luck of the Pastry Chinese website.

The reason why I didn't do that at first.

On the one hand, people are poor and short of breath, and on the other hand, there is a lack of technical support.

If you really have to raise the money from your family, you can actually raise it.

Now it's mainly about technology. Zhao Han himself can't write code, so he needs to find a capable coder to join him in order to complete the website building plan.

For the time being... Zhao Han decided to play it safe and earn some of his royalties and popularity first.

The royalties were earned, and more importantly... the popularity was earned, and a pen name of a great god with a fan base was created.

Then, if you set up a new website by yourself, you will have the basis for the initial traffic source!

……

evening.

Zhao Han and Liu Mengcheng arrived at the lunch box fairy's stall on time again.

"Did you buy a PHS?" Zhao Han couldn't help but feel a hint of the times when he saw a PHS hanging from Zhang Lihua's neck.

The plot in Kuangshou gradually began to spiral out of control, and PHS also had a contribution.

"If you apply for a phone card, it will be given as a gift." Zhang Lihua said, "It costs money to buy a mobile phone, but PHS will give it to you for free. Moreover, PHS calls are cheap, so you save money!"

Although, from a technical point of view, PHS is a backward technology when it comes out, and it is actually not encouraged at the national level.

But in the late 90s, telecom companies regretted missing out on the dividends of mobile communications and decided to use PHS.

For consumers, the only reason to choose this thing these days is that it is cheap, cheap, and damn cheap!

Its many flaws were ignored in the face of advantages.

The reason why PHS was withdrawn from the network in later generations was not that consumers didn’t like it, but... because PHS was too cheap, leaving China Telecom and China Unicom with no money to make.Later, after China Telecom obtained its own mobile phone network, it immediately began to delist PHS and clear the communication frequency bands for the mobile phone network.Upon seeing this, China Unicom also followed up...

Then, PHS was forced to burn bridges and withdraw from the stage of history.

"Oh!" Zhao Han nodded, "Please add my mobile phone number so you can contact me if you need anything."

"Okay, thank you!" Zhang Lihua said.

"Have you contacted my nephew Zhao Song?" Zhao Han asked.

"Contacted..." Zhang Lihua hesitated, "Brother Zhao Song is a very good person. After hearing about my situation, he contacted the police station in our township and said that the problem had been solved."

"Resolved?" Zhao Han was stunned.

"Wang Shengcai's gang of 6 people is doing nothing in the village and extorting money. Because everyone is afraid of trouble, no one dares to mess with him. It is precisely because of lawlessness that he opened a casino in the village, made loan sharks, and also involved... abduction and trafficking of women!"

Zhang Lihua said, "Also, he had a murder case. He had three wives before, two of them ran away and one died. The one who died was strangled to death by him. Many people in the village heard that he was arrested. They beat him up one after another and provided evidence of guilt! I wish he could be shot immediately!"

"Ouch!" Zhao Han couldn't help being surprised.

He has a clumsy mouth and just casually guessed that the other party would be really punished!

Chapter 20 Being misunderstood as having a background

"Thank you to Brother Zhao Song for helping me this time. He didn't mention this matter. No one dared to mess with Wang Shengcai until the township police station took action!" Zhang Lihua said.

Obviously, Zhang Lihua felt that Zhao Han had a local background...

Of course Zhao Han himself didn't think so. He didn't have any relatives or friends in the local area.Among relatives and friends, who doesn’t have some people who eat from the government?

Zhao Han just has a lot of relatives and friends, most of whom live in the local area, so it seems... maybe, he really has a local background, right?
