Start earning money as the girl next door

Bestsellers are usually produced by other companies.

Anhui Provincial Publishing House used to be relatively local and did not have a strong ability to produce hit books.

But it's different now.

With the continuous news hype in online and offline media, orders are growing rapidly, and 10 more copies of "In the Snow" are being printed urgently!

Online Taobao stores are out of stock, and offline stores are also selling out!

The distribution channels that Anhui Literature and Art Publishing House previously contacted were mainly within the province, and basically did not sell outside the province.

Now, a lot of bookstores and distribution channels outside the province are calling and requesting to order "In the Snow".

The total order volume added up is terrifying, and the increased orders have exceeded 5 copies!Not to mention, more book retail organizations came after hearing the news.

Including, Dangdang.com heard the news and ordered 1 copies in one go!

Unknowingly, the offline physical publishing of "In the Snow" suddenly surged, and it is estimated that there will be [-] copies!

The bottom line for a normal bestseller is that it has monthly sales of more than 2000 copies and annual sales of 5, making it a third-tier bestseller.

The second level sells more than 20 copies within a year.

In the first grade, the cumulative sales volume reaches more than 50 copies within one year.

Those who reach the first level can be seen in the writer's income ranking list.

These days, there are not many best-selling authors in China making millions a year, maybe a dozen or so.

"In the Snow" is now only a third bestseller.But the problem is... "In the Snow" has only released one episode!

The ongoing online serialization means that if the popularity continues, a second episode or even more episodes can be released.

This is much better than a one-time sale of a best-selling book with no follow-up.

It is precisely because of this that Wan Literature and Art Publishing House's attitude towards Yu Weiwei, editor-in-chief of Jingjing Reading Network, is much lower than before.

In the past, Anhui Literature and Art Publishing House was relatively aloof, and cooperative publishing was a charity.

Now, because of the huge sales of "In the Snow", novel websites like Jingjing Reading.com that can publish explosive best-selling books are treated equally!

Chapter 214: Be famous early

The physical book "In the Snow" sold [-] copies. When the news reached Liu Mengcheng's ears, she was stunned.

"This can't be true, right?" Liu Mengcheng went from surprise to doubt, because...the sales volume was beyond her expectations!

There are only over 3000 online subscriptions and over 1 collections.Publish a physical book, how come you sell 10 copies?

"Of course it's true!" Zhao Han said with a smile, "Yu Weiwei has confirmed it with the publishing house again and again. It's absolutely true! The publishing fee will probably arrive next month!"

Liu Mengcheng's contract with Jingjing Reading Network includes the electronic version and publishing agency, and even... all adaptation copyrights are authorized.

Liu Mengcheng is a little confused in life and doesn't have much thought, so he holds on to copyrights and the like.

Moreover, the website still has her equity, which can be regarded as supporting its own industry, so it’s not a big deal.

What's more, Liu Mengcheng also has an equity incentive plan. In addition to the normal royalties shared with Liu Mengcheng, the part shared by the website is also given to Liu Mengcheng as equity incentives.

Of course, the upper limit of the equity incentive is 15 per year, which is equivalent to 1.5% of the equity of Wenwen Jingjing Technology Company.

Originally, I thought Liu Mengcheng would not be able to get that much equity incentive, but now it seems that he is hopeful that he will get the equity incentive.

Because the physical publishing part is also included in her royalties and equity incentive plans.

Currently, according to the agreement with Anhui Literature and Art Publishing House, 10% of the royalties are shared, which is priced at 28 yuan. Jingjing Reading Network will receive a publishing fee of 2.8 yuan for a book.

Based on 28 yuan, it is 28 yuan. Of the 30 yuan royalties, Jingjing Reading Network takes 8.4%, which is [-] yuan.

Liu Mengcheng received 19.6 yuan in publishing fees before tax deductions!

"In other words, my royalties for "In the Snow" have already won for your "Dragon of the Wild"?" Liu Mengcheng couldn't help but show his pride.

"That's right...you won!"

Zhao Han couldn't help but laugh, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all, saying, "We'll have to fight online later!

My "Dragon of the Ancients" pastry royalties last month exceeded 5 yuan, which probably broke the record for subscription royalties for online articles!

Then, I will first distribute money to celebrate on the Longlong Forum!

Then... watch your performance! "

"I jumped out and said you are a frog in the well. Just 5 a month is enough for a villain to succeed.

Then, I posted a physical copy of the first episode of "In the Snow" with 10 copies, and the royalties exceeded 20? Liu Mengcheng asked.

"Yes, you understand very well!" Zhao Han said with a smile, "My "Dragon of the Ancients" is extremely popular. After I spread money and build momentum on the Dragon Dragon Forum, it will definitely attract a lot of discussions. And you, the entity of "Snow" The publication slapped my manuscript fee in the face. In this way, the topic became more lively. Jingjing Reading Network was originally a small and transparent website, but all of a sudden, it will attract the attention of more authors in the industry!"

"What happens after this hype?" Liu Mengcheng asked, "If the physical publication of "In the Snow" continues to exceed your electronic subscription fee, and the onlookers are tired of it, what will happen next time?"

"Hehe!" Zhao Han said with a smile, "For "The Dragon of Prehistoric Times", Guangdong also contacted Traditional Chinese Publishing. Guangdong published it as an agent and deducted a small agency fee. And then, Traditional Chinese probably won't get [-].

The electronic version of "Dragon of the Ancients" is estimated to cost [-].

The simplified version of "Prehistoric" seems to be in contact.At that time, I could act again. Zhao Han would be as good as anyone else in his life!

Hahaha……"

"Netizens were stunned by your performance! In the future, if it is exposed, how many people will criticize you?" Liu Mengcheng couldn't help complaining.

"hey-hey!"

Zhao Han said, "In the future, when I become a big boss in the technology industry, netizens will lament that in the beginning, the big boss worked so hard to play us. We are so lucky!"

We also have credit for the rise of the big guys!

Just like, when Xiao Ma's QQ was first launched, he used a vest QQ account to pretend to be a girl and chat online.

Even after this dark history was unearthed, it did not affect Brother Ma's image as a wise and powerful warrior. The reason is... the boss's innocuous black material is just an anecdote!

Those who are less successful, those who are caught by their opponents, and those whose reputations are ruined are the ones who are guilty! "

"Tell me, why has publishing become so easy?" Liu Mengcheng couldn't help sighing. A few months ago, she also submitted some martial arts works, but without exception, they were all rejected. No publishing house has ever given any long-form works. Drafted.

Suddenly, it became popular.Not only was it published, but an additional [-] copies were printed!

"Because you are famous! You bring the popularity! Of course the publisher will publish it!"

Zhao Han said, “If you only have works but no fame and no popularity on the Internet, no matter how good your writing is, it will be difficult to impress the hard-hearted publisher.

For example, JK Rowling's "Harry Potter" was rejected so many times. She recalled that the book was rejected countless times!

Now that "Harry Potter" is selling well all over the world, does it mean that the publishers who rejected the manuscript in the first place were blind?

Actually, that's not the case. It's just that the risk of publishing is high, so we should be extra cautious about newcomers who are not famous!

This kind of caution is not even a matter of the quality of the work. It is simply because the publishing house suspects that if a newcomer has no fans and no traffic, the publication will easily be unsaleable, that's all. "

"The publishing house is also so snobbish!"

"It's normal! This is the business era. After considering the probability of profit and loss, it is an inevitable choice. Physical publishing, if you lose one book, you may publish ten books, and you may not be able to make up for the loss!" Zhao Han said, "So the cost of trial and error is expensive , so it’s natural to be cautious!”

The reason why the number of contracted novels for online novels far exceeds those for physical publishing is that the cost of trial and error is low.

Even if a contract is sold out, even if the website has full attendance, it will not suffer any loss.

And the vast majority of novels on the shelves can ultimately bring profits to the website.

Later, in the online novel market, because the threshold was low, there were many bookstores.Over time, a large number of high-quality works have gradually been cultivated. Both are large in volume and have many excellent works with good reputations. Naturally, they have become the main market for novel reading.

Offline publishing is not a mortal enemy of online novel websites.

Rather, they are complementary. To put it simply, a work by a great artist that sells well online will most likely make money when published offline. The publisher does not need to pay the cost of trial and error.

Whoever is popular online will publish physical books. This model is essentially a low-risk, high-return business model.

Of course, the threshold for becoming famous online will be higher in the future than it is now.

Writing online novels is also a good way to become famous.

The earlier an online novel is, the lower the threshold for becoming popular and the greater the potential future profits.For example, "Legend of the Evil God", which was very popular in 04 and 05, more than ten years after it was released, how many readers still find it interesting?

After this book is released in 2020, I am afraid it will only be equivalent to the level of [-] novel subscriptions.But in the early days, it can become a masterpiece!

Chapter 215: Clever hype, all parties win

August 8, Longlong Forum.

Zhao Han's original ID suddenly posted "The Dragon of Prehistoric Times" in the Jianghu section of the forum:

“I heard that many big guys said that Shu Damai wants to spend money and build up character in Longlong, and I also follow the rules of the world.

The electronic subscription fee for "Dragon of the Ancients" exceeded 5 in the first month.

I feel ashamed that I have not suppressed someone more than ten times in terms of collections and subscriptions. I feel that I still need to work harder.

Hereby spread the wealth and celebrate. 1000 floors, 8 dragon coins per floor.If the floor is 8, 188 dragon coins will be added. "

In an instant, countless parallel importers came to comment.

"Come here when you see money being scattered."

"The boss is awesome!"

"Is "Dragon of the Ancients" already so strong?"

"Congratulations, let's see if you are stuck on the 8th floor."

Thousands of retail properties were quickly sold out by parallel importers.Well, Zhao Han naturally didn't disperse the money by himself, but found someone to distribute it on his behalf.

Although I don’t know what the use of the dragon coins in the Dragon Dragon Forum is, there is not even a library of Dragon Dragon Literature, and you can’t subscribe to novels or shop, but there are people who are willing to grab them.

There are even some who are willing to accept dragon coins...

Oh, they are generally some specialized advertising buildings, such as novel websites that post their own advertisements for receiving manuscripts in Longlong. If you don't leave the post, you will be locked and will not be allowed to post.Generally speaking, there is still a bit of advertising money in it.

After the money-distribution was over, there were still a bunch of posts related to "Dragon of the Ancients" and Zhao Han in various sections of the Dragon Forum such as Jianghu, Book Recommendations, Original Reviews, Fantasy Novels, etc.

"Is "The Dragon of the Ancient World" so red and purple now? If I follow the trend and write a "Primordial Dragon", will it be popular? Mr. Zhao Han has stated many times that as long as the books he writes are pioneering genres, he is welcome to follow the trend Yes, as long as you don’t directly copy his original text. You can freely use the settings, creativity, and characters, and you can write it as a fan.”

""Prehistoric" should have a big worldview. It's not comprehensive yet. It's better to wait until later to follow the trend. What if the second design you follow the trend doesn't follow the trend?"

"Zhao Han's current score is over 1, right?"

"Based on the royalties and the number of updates, there are probably 1.5 orders for "Dragon of the Ancients"."

"The most powerful subscriber for online articles should be Zhao Han himself, right?"

……

At a time when a large number of netizens are discussing it.

It's so sudden...

Liu Mengcheng himself posted on Longlong - "Let the frog in the well indulge in his own subscription"

"Originally, I didn't want to provoke someone, but when I saw someone's success, taking the amount of royalties they earned and publicizing it everywhere, I felt pitiful and sad. 5 is probably an astronomical amount in someone's eyes. Let’s get the numbers right.

So, after updating more than 30 words in a month, I paid 5 in royalties. Do you feel invincible?

Compared to subscribing, I may not be able to compare.But it’s not just subscriptions that prove your achievements in the world.

And publishing!

The first episode of "In the Snow" was published in simplified Chinese. The first printing was only 1 copies. In just a few days, the publishing house has printed an additional 10 copies.

An episode of "In the Snow" only has 15 words, priced at 28 yuan.It easily sold 10 copies.

Someone calculated, how many months would it take you to write to equal my publishing fee for a 15-word episode? "

As soon as this article comes out.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere of Longlong Forum became more lively.

Soon the atmosphere started to get into a fight...

Zhao Han and Liu Mengcheng fought.

"Don't think that you are the only one who can publish it. I have it too. It's just that it hasn't been published yet and I don't want to talk about it." - Zhao Han himself

"Oh? I see, it's traditional Chinese publishing? The level of someone's business is already so low. In the traditional Chinese market, where two or three thousand copies are considered a big hit, can it be called publishing? You told me that writing about martial arts is a dead end, but now what? ”——Liu Mengcheng himself

"If I don't argue with you, I will be sharp-tongued and sarcastic. Just wait, my publishing will gradually crush you!" - Zhao Han himself
