Start earning money as the girl next door

For the time being, Jingjing Reading Network is still losing money. According to the general ledger, it is losing 3 yuan per month.

The bulk of the expenses are the author's attendance benefits, server hardware and bandwidth, as well as staff salaries, office costs, etc.

Of course, in Zhao Han's eyes, this loss is simply worth it.

The reason is that the website now adds hundreds of novels to its library every month, and the number of signed works increases by fifty or sixty every month.

Copyright and author resources continue to grow.

You will lose money in the short term, but you will definitely make a lot of money in the long run.

……

"How many bad websites have been shut down according to domestic news reports?" Zhao Han asked curiously.

"The latest data has closed more than 700 companies." Yu Weiwei reads this kind of news every day. "Large portals are conducting self-examinations. Search engines are also required to self-discipline and cannot search for this kind of information."

Zhao Han casually looked at some portal websites, and sure enough...it was all over the place.

Sina's "Weekend Selection" or other marginalia has been deleted in large numbers.NetEase is also deleting a large number of irrelevant articles and pictures impatiently.Sohu deletes 3000 pieces of harmful information a day...

All in all, all the major websites have a fierce attitude and can’t wait to express their stance. They are actively conducting self-examination for fear of misunderstanding from above.

From the original illegal website to the self-examination of normal websites, well, in the current network environment, regular websites have a problem of being too wide, and they are trying to attract traffic. Portal websites are really good at it.

"Now, most of the websites that are truly anti-pornography and illegal activities have been taken down. The remaining ones are probably to expand the scope of the attack!"

Zhao Han said, "Right now, the novel website has not been rectified, but we cannot wait until we find it before we prepare!

Large websites are asked to self-examine and given an extension of time until September.

Xiao Xiami, no one told you to do a self-examination. If you don’t strictly demand yourself, then you will really have nothing to do! "

"Once any of the novels on our site trigger warning keywords, we will manually check them."

Yu Weiwei said, “Some novels that are not suitable for the scale have been removed from the shelves long ago.

As a new editor, most of the work for now is not to sign works, but to control the standards.

In addition, the direct publication of new books has been stopped at this stage. Submissions are first submitted to the editor. After the editor approves, they are signed and then uploaded.I'm afraid there are too many non-signing documents and they won't be reviewed. "

"That's fine!" Zhao Han thought for a while, "In special times, let the author invest first, sign the contract and then publish the book!"

The disadvantage of publishing books after internal submission is that the submission threshold is high, which will reduce the number of new books in the library.

Moreover, editorial review is always inferior to market review.

After the work is published and read by readers, the accuracy of judging the value of the work will be higher.

However, there is no way, now is the early stage of the anti-pornography campaign.

In fact, the entire summer is the peak of online anti-pornography campaigns.It probably took until November for the limelight to gradually pass.

The result of the anti-pornography campaign is that it is no longer possible to view websites with bad information within the country.Later, if I wanted to see this kind of website, I had to go over the wall.

Of course, it is impossible to completely eliminate pornography.

After all, overseas pornography cannot be eradicated.

The main thing is to increase the threshold for ordinary people to browse this kind of information.

For a truly experienced driver, there is actually...nothing to stop him.

Of course, the anti-pornography campaign is not about fighting against old drivers. The main purpose is to prevent novices from being polluted by bad information.

Zhao Han also supports this point. From a righteous level, there is nothing wrong with this operation in 04.

You can’t even find anyone who has been wrongly accused. All those who have been shut down are first reported and then investigated.Only when the evidence is conclusive can law enforcement begin.

Under high winds and waves.

For the time being... there is no need for Jingjing Reading Network to be the leader. If nothing happens, it will be victory.

The track for online writing is very long, and it’s not that the market has run out of pastries, leaving nothing else to eat.

In fact, this industry is similar to online games. Even if "Legend" is a hit, it does not prevent new games from being released one after another, making the entire market larger.

The same principle applies to the online article market. Making money from top websites does not affect the development of other smaller websites.

Zhao Han roughly calculated that if Jingjing Reading Network can achieve a monthly VIP novel sales volume of more than 30 yuan, which means daily sales of 1 yuan, it can achieve breakeven.

Monthly sales exceed 30, is it difficult?Zhao Han thought for a while and decided that it shouldn't be too difficult and he could develop it step by step.

It should be achievable in 04 as early as 05 and as early as [-].

Jingjing Reading Network has crossed the break-even point. From then on, it will continue to make money, and there is no need to put money into it.

Even though it seems to be a loss now, Zhao Han feels that it is a gain.For example, the number of authors and registered readers are both valuable.

Moreover, the website continues to pay authors publishing fees, which is also building up reputation in the industry!Word-of-mouth has a huge impact on submissions from authors in the industry!

In later generations, some authors would rather go to big websites than go to smaller sites where it is easier to get famous.

Mainly, the cost of trust.

The credibility of a big website can be determined by the author as soon as he checks it.Small websites are a mixed bag. If you want to trust a website, you need to know more information to endorse it.

At this time in 04, novel websites were all grassroots.The author's trust threshold for websites is not as high as that of later generations.

All in all, the cost of deceiving the author to submit a manuscript is lower than that of later generations.

After a few more years of development, a large number of authors will earn royalties on the website, and the reputation of the old website will be accumulated, which will attract more authors to submit articles, and gradually form a virtuous cycle.

This is how the pastry’s reputation as a holy place for enlightenment was created.As a new author, most of the great people I know are pastry experts, so naturally I subconsciously choose to submit my articles in pastries.

Chapter 2 Yingying Literature was banned from pornography

At the beginning of August, a super big melon suddenly broke out in the Internet literary circle!The Yingying Literature website suddenly cannot be opened!

At first, some authors in the industry, and even Yingying’s readers, thought it was a website server failure that could be solved quickly by killing the programmers.

As a result...two days have passed, and Eagle Eagle Literature still has no sign of resuming operations.

Then, big news broke out in the circle:

“Because there was a lot of bad information on the website of Eagle Eagle Literature, the management went in to have tea and cooperate with the investigation.

The problem is not too serious and the person is fine.

But... the server has been shut down, God knows when it will be restored! "

"I know the editor of Yingying. It's true. The senior management was invited to have tea and everyone is fine. But the problem is that the website server is shut down. Editor Yingying said that he is thinking of a solution, but he has no clue at the moment."

“I am the author of Eagle Eagle, and grass is a plant that has just been released.

1000 average, 1000 average, it is not the kind of bad article you imagine, but a serious urban article. It is very popular, and the editor also values ​​it and gives good recommendations all the way.

There are 8000 collections in Yingying, and each order is 1000!

It seems that the night before yesterday, I was still encouraging myself. If I persist, my monthly income will exceed [-]!

As a result, after waking up, I couldn't log in to the website directly. I couldn't log in. What do you think I should do? "

“There must be thousands of authors signed by Yingying, right?

So many authors have no income, what should they do?

No more than 10% of the novels are bad. The other ordinary authors who were implicated are so innocent! "

There seem to be [-] novels in Yingying Bookstore, making it the website with the largest number of books besides cakes.

In addition, the number of signed authors is more than cakes.

Among them, most of the authors signed by Yingying are actually the past authors who have been poached in the past.

The Yingying serial has been practicing writing for several months, and the writing experience of many authors has improved significantly compared to a few months ago.

If Eagle Eagle Literature were operating normally, the daily active users would have exceeded 50. There are more than 1000 signed authors, even if they are mostly novices. The next book will probably be of better quality, thus driving a virtuous cycle in the VIP paid reading market of Yingying Literature, and even threatening the status of pastries.

pity……

Everything happened in August when Yingying was banned from pornography and the server was shut down for inspection. The previously accumulated daily active reader traffic and the efforts of contracted authors were quickly wasted.

The author of Yingying is asking about the situation everywhere and wants to know the specific time when Yingying will resume operations.

But Yingying’s editorial department doesn’t know either. They are a group of experts at poaching pastries, but when it comes to the entire anti-pornography campaign on the Internet, they... have no relevant experience at all to understand the current situation.

Of course, Eagle Eagle’s management soon turned the 404 website into an announcement:

"While the Eagle Eagle server is temporarily unavailable, authors signed by Eagle Eagle can go to Crawling to serialize, and readers can also go to Crawling to continue supporting the author. Once the Eagle Eagle server resumes operation, you can return to Eagle Eagle."

Many users found that Yingying's website jumps directly to the crawl novel website.

However, the size of the crawler is much smaller than that of Yingying. After being initiated by Yingying, the crawler server was stuck one after another, and the reading experience was very poor.

In a sense, if Cangpai strives to be more successful and eats the last ripple of Yingying, thousands of signed authors and a small part of hundreds of thousands of readers will be enough to make Cangpai become a novel, second only to pastries and swords. The third great station of the sword.

But... there is only one crawling server.As a result, Yingying gave it a flood of traffic that was overwhelming, making it difficult for readers with server cards to read normally, and for authors to upload novels.

So... although because of Yingying's gift, the traffic has increased by more than 5 daily active users, and it has hundreds of Yingying's VIP authors.

But crawling is still not up to par. Not only is the subscription market much smaller than that of Yingying, but even the servers are not very good.

Therefore, more Yingying authors began to look for a place to stay.Most people choose to reflow pastries, and many others go to websites such as Jianjian, Cuicui, Read and Write, Xiaoyao, etc.

……

"Zhao Han, Zhao Banxian, can you...really be able to figure things out?" Liu Mengcheng was stunned when he saw that the Yingying server was shut down.

"Don't be superstitious, believe in science!" Zhao Han said, "I'm just guessing!"

"But you even predicted the time, saying that it will be cold in the second half of the year, and it will be really cold!" Liu Mengcheng couldn't help but said, "Half-immortal, you must be half-immortal, do the math for me!"

"What the hell?" Zhao Han couldn't help but feel angry and funny.

I know that Yingying is going to be cool, but it's actually just because he is a reborn person, and he probably knows that 04 is the first year of the Internet anti-pornography campaign.

At the same time, I also know that Yingying is cool because he is fighting against pornography.

Combining it together, we can naturally conclude that Yingying will be cold in the second half of 04.

In the end, Zhao Han was really right!

This is much more effective than some iron mouth or fortune-telling half-immortal.

"Do the math! When will my book "In the Snow" be published? Can it be barley?" Liu Mengcheng said a little coyly.

For the publication of "In the Snow", a simplified Chinese publishing contract has been signed with Anhui Literature and Art Publishing House.

Contrary to imagination, the editor of the publishing house is aloof.

The publishing editor was Sun Yan, Yu Weiwei's classmate. Not long after Yu Weiwei contacted her online, Sun Yan came over from the provincial capital and signed a publishing contract on the spot.

Of course……

In order to avoid exposure, the drama between Zhao Han and Liu Mengcheng started online.Therefore, Zhao Han and Liu Mengcheng's work "Rebirth of the 1990 Literary Era" was not published in simplified Chinese through Anhui Literature and Art Publishing House, otherwise it could have been published together.

But in order for the online drama to continue, the two still continued to fight and break up in front of outsiders.

For example, "Rebirth in the 1990s Literary Era" was the victim of a disagreement between the two people and could not be published.

"I think it should be on the market in August!" Zhao Han said with a smile, "Besides, barley is not a problem!"

you do not say?

"In the Snow" has made an appointment with the other publisher and will be released on August 8.

Because of the quality of "In the Snow", the manuscript for online serialization is enough to be published without major revision.

Typesetting, printing, etc., don’t take much effort.

If you think about it, if someone publishes a newspaper and the news of that day can be published in the newspaper the next day, you can know that the publishing house's typesetting and printing processes can be extremely efficient.

The main trouble is distribution, which requires contacting major channels for distribution and distribution.If it doesn't sell well, you have to return it.

It is precisely for this reason that publishing is a very cautious matter, with high costs and thin profits.

However, for the publication of "In the Snow", Jingjing Reading Network underwritten 5000 copies, and the first printing was only 1 copies.

For the publisher, there is not much risk.

Therefore, the publishing efficiency is very fast.

Of course, after Jingjing Reading Network guarantees underwriting of 5000 copies, it is easy to discuss adding the website address of Jingjing Reading Network on the cover of the book.

The publishing house naturally knows that such behavior is an advertisement for Jingjing Reading Network.But...it doesn't matter!
