Start earning money as the girl next door

The two had a casual exchange of words.

then……

Countless netizens' voices spread, and soon spread to Tianya, Maopu, Tieba and other major social media on the Internet.

Suddenly, the dispute between Zhao Han and Liu Mengcheng became a hot topic on the Internet.

Major portal websites have stepped up their efforts to produce news.

Nowadays, many small paper media have begun to report on the feud between Zhao Han and Liu Mengcheng.

Originally, it was just reported that the popularity of Liu Mengcheng and "In the Snow" has not dissipated.

Another wave of big melons is coming!

Parties…

Whether it is cakes, quiet reading or Wan Literature and Art Publishing House, they are all beneficiaries, so they are happy to see the results and even contribute to the situation.

For example, Anhui Literature and Art Publishing House has added new orders for the printing of "In the Snow" at the printing factory.

"Another fifty thousand copies!"

"It's simply outrageous. With these sales, a lot of media reports, and Internet popularity, it's really a bestseller!"

"You think, what if we also signed "Dragon of the Ancients"?"

The leaders of Anhui Literature and Art Publishing House started to get excited.Originally, there were no best-sellers, but now it’s different!

You can’t mention Yangtze Literature and Art Publishing House?

In fact, there are literary and art publishing houses in every province.

It's just that in the past few years, Yangtze Literature and Art was quite shrewd. It took the initiative to discover popular authors and produced a bunch of best-selling books, such as "Fantasy City" by Guo.As a result, it stands out among the many literary and art publishing houses.

Now, Wan Literature and Art Publishing House has also made a hit, and I feel like the bestseller is nothing more than this! The best-selling book with sales of 20 copies is right in front of you!

……

"Hey, I'm from the Pastry Editorial Department, may I ask?"

"We are Anhui Literature and Art Publishing House, the publisher of "In the Snow". "Dragon of the Wilderness" is published in simplified Chinese. Is it published by your website as an agent?"

"Yes! However, Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House is interested..."

"Forget about Yangtze Literature and Art, have you signed the contract?"

"Not yet. We have verbally agreed that the first print quantity will not be less than 2. They are still studying it."

"Stop researching, we will publish it! The first printing is 5! The royalties will be divided into 10%, the same as "In the Snow"."

"Okay! Agree! Make an appointment on a time, place, and sign the contract!"

After Mr. Biscuit ended the call, he was extremely excited.

Publishing agency is actually a major source of income for pastries. In the early stage, it was a voluntary agency and no commission was taken.

Now, two points are drawn.For example, 10% is the share given by the publisher, and 2% is taken from the pastry, which means that the author gets 8% of the share.If it is an 8% royalty, it will be 6% in the hands of the author, deducting two points of agency fees.

This is understandable. Since websites have access to many publishing resources, it is easier for them to publish than authors.It's normal to be a publishing agent and take a commission from it.

Zhao Han could actually find the publisher himself, but... in order to numb the pastry, let the pastry act as an agent.

After all, the little idea of ​​the pastry contract now is just to calculate the agency publishing commission in addition to the electronic version. The publishing goes through the pastry, and the agency publishing commission is deducted by the pastry.

However, the more valuable copyright adaptation is not covered by the current sharing contract.

Probably later, contract versions were gradually upgraded one by one, and various book-related copyrights were gradually bundled with the website.

In fact, the publishing agency business is not the strength of Pastry.

Jianjian, for example, is better at this. The reason why Jianjian looked down on VIP sharing in the early days was that publishing as an agent was more profitable.

But in fact, after the author has published achievements and experience, subsequent works can be published directly by the publishing house, so why do they need an agency to publish?

This is also the unreliability of the business model of agency publishing that was explored in the early days of online writing. Basically, it was to train authors for publishing houses.As long as the author has published results, he can contact the publishing house for publication without relying on the website platform.

Chapter 216 What a coincidence

8 month 12 number.

Wolong QQ informed Zhao Han:

"I would like to inform my lord about the publication of Simplified Chinese. We will change the Wan Literature and Art Publishing House, and the first printing of Wan Literature and Art will be 5 yuan.

I feel its sincerity even more than the previous Yangtze River Literature and Art.

Therefore, "The Dragon of Prehistoric Times" was handed over to Anhui Literature and Art.The traditional version is published by Xianwang, and the first episode of the traditional version will be released almost this week.

About two episodes of the traditional Chinese version are released every month, and the royalties are paid together with the royalties for the next month. "

Zhao Han typed and replied: "Yun!"

Xianwang, a traditional publisher, is actually the predecessor of the online publishing model.

Xianwang was founded in 2000. It started with sections such as Yuanyuan Forum and Judou Square, which gathered a large number of writers and readers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

The founder of Xianwang quickly discovered business opportunities and published some of the works on the website in traditional Chinese offline.

As a result, a cutting-edge publishing force of traditional publishing was quickly formed. Even the traditional version of "The Misty Journey" was produced in traditional version by Jianjian Agency in cooperation with Xianwang.

The release of the masterpiece "Piaomiao" not only made Xiao Qian the first writer in the history of online literature to be considered to have an annual income of one million.

This further established Xianwang’s status in traditional Chinese publishing. At least in the eyes of online writers, Xianwang was definitely a big publisher at this time.

The traditional publishing price of "Dragon of the Ancients" is 2 yuan per episode, which is roughly 6.5 words per book, which translates into a royalties of 300 yuan per thousand words.For traditional Chinese, it is already relatively high.

Of course, it is incomparable with "Piaomiao Journey". "Piaomiao" has already cost more than a thousand yuan per thousand words these days. It publishes two traditional Chinese books every month. It is a god among gods.

Even in the era when Xuehong is rising and making millions a year.In fact, the remuneration for a thousand-word manuscript is definitely not as good as Xiao Qian's, but he relies on his faster writing speed to earn a manuscript fee that is not inferior to Xiao Qian's.

In a sense, if inflation and purchasing power factors are taken into account, Xiao Qian's royalties will be among the best for future generations.

Traditionally published authors these days usually get 3000 yuan for two episodes, and tens of yuan for [-] words, which is the normal standard for manuscript fees.

If it's any lower, it doesn't make sense, because... if it's any lower, the sales instructions are too poor and it's impossible to make money.

Therefore, Traditional Chinese generally sets the manuscript fee at the standard of selling more than 800 copies, and pays two to three thousand for an episode. This can attract books of good quality, but the fee level is actually relatively low.

In fact, a traditional Chinese book with about 6.5 words is solicited for manuscripts in Hong Kong and Taiwan at a price of 3000 to [-] yuan. It is difficult for authors to be willing to write it. Even if they are willing to write it, the quality is poor.

It is precisely because of this that some smart traditional Chinese publishers these days have learned to use the Internet to receive manuscripts in mainland China.

The manuscript fee of two to three thousand for one episode is already tempting. You can choose one from dozens of online manuscripts, or even select one work from a hundred.

This business model is very profitable in the short term.

However, with the continuous development of the Internet and the gradual decline of the Traditional Chinese market, especially in the mobile Internet era, Traditional Chinese publishing has gradually become less important to many people in the industry.

Later, the traditional and normal novel publishing market was very small.However, there is still a certain market for those who engage in color.

Including the later Xianwang, all of them were based on color themes.

The reason is that online novels in the domestic market are developing too fast, and good books are basically available on major domestic novel apps.

Only domestic novel websites do not dare to sign up for the kind of subject matter, and there is room for survival for small online and offline publishing organizations in traditional Chinese.

Later, Xianwang became a website for bad novels. In essence, it was a return to the original.

Well... It started with Yuanyuan of Xianwang. In fact, he made bad novels popular and gathered a group of authors. At first, many of them were good at bad articles.

Later, when they made a lot of money by publishing serious cultivation novels such as "Journey to the Piaomiao", Xianwang came to the shore with a clear conscience.

As the market for serious traditional Chinese novels becomes difficult, readers are downloading apps to read books.

Later, it is not incomprehensible for Xianwang to return to the bad novel market.

After all, the original Xianwang was much larger than the Yingying text.

……

At the Anhui Provincial Literature and Art Publishing House, I found a pastry to sign the simplified Chinese version of "The Dragon of Prehistoric Times".

Jingjing Reading Network welcomed editors from Xian.com in mainland China to sign copies of "Swordsmanship in the Snow".

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Yu, this is the first time we meet. I am Huang Lu, the editor of Xianwang. You can confirm my identity through the contact information of Xianwang." Huang Lu's accent has a crooked accent. Well, it's similar to how Hu Jianren speaks Mandarin. .

Many Hu Jianren speak like Wanwan.

But it’s definitely not that Hu Jianren talks like Wanwan, but that Wanwan talks like Hu Jian.

Yu Weiwei quickly obtained the contact number of Xianwang through a familiar friend. After asking and confirming, it turned out that the person who came was the editor of Xianwang.

"Is Miss Huang sent here from Wanwan, or is she from mainland China?" Yu Weiwei asked.

“My ancestral home is also from Wan Province, and my grandfather and Chiang Kai-shek came to Wanwan.

Because I often go online in mainland China, and both simplified and traditional Chinese look the same.

Therefore, we were sent to cooperate with some websites and directly sign contracts with authors.

Many websites and even publishing houses in mainland China are partners with us, including Jianjian, Cake, Longlong, etc. "

Huang Lu smiled and said, "Our boss, Yuan Da, has always attached great importance to authors from mainland China.

Both in terms of quantity and quality, it is better than that on the island.In particular, I am a fan of "In the Snow". After submitting it to the newspaper, it was quickly recognized by the higher authorities. "

After some politeness.

Yu Weiwei asked: "An additional 10 copies of the simplified Chinese version of "In the Snow" have been printed. You should know that, right?"

"Well!" Huang Lu said, "Compared with sales volume, Traditional Chinese is definitely not as big as Simplified Chinese. However, we can give the Traditional Chinese version of "Snow" a royalties of RMB 3 per episode."

"3 per episode? Is it about 6.5 words per episode?" Yu Weiwei also has a general understanding of the current situation of traditional Chinese publishing.

"Yes!"

Huang Lu said, "The price we offer is higher than that of "Dragon of the Ancients". For such a popular book, the price we offer is 2 yuan per episode!

The writing style of "In the Snow" is better, so we think it should be promoted as a fine novel. "

"Oh?" For a moment, Yu Weiwei's expression became subtle, "Okay!"

"Dragon of the Ancient World" is the boss's book. Well, the other party probably doesn't know about it either.

Just like that, by mistake.

The simplified and traditional publishing houses of "Dragon of the Ancient World" and "Swordsmanship in the Snow" are both published by the same publishers.

In other words, publishing is a competition on the same stage, but on the Internet, they are at odds with each other.

Ok……

It's all acting!

Including the pastry Chinese website, and even simplified and traditional publishing houses, they don’t understand the real situation.

Just because, tearing has traffic.

Plus, the book was good...so, I signed it!

Chapter 217 Quietly Reading Network Traffic Increases

Jingjing Reading Network has obviously reaped the traffic bonus in August.

Whether it's Yingying's server shutdown or the fact that traffic is already high during the summer vacation.Also, after the publication of "In the Snow", there was a series of hype and wars on the Internet.

It wasn’t just the publication of “In the Snow” that made it a hit.

At the same time, Jingjing Reading Network has reached 15 IP visits per day.The maximum number of online readers at the same time has soared to 3.

At the same time, the total number of registered users of Jingjing Reading Network exceeded 8.The number of daily active registered users has increased to more than 2.5.

The core number of VIP readers, the cumulative number of VIP readers has exceeded 1.At the same time, the number of daily active VIP readers has increased to 6000.The daily sales amount has exceeded the 3000 yuan mark.

Traffic is still coming...

On the one hand, the popularity on the Internet has stimulated many people to go to Jingjing Reading Network to find "In the Snow" and Liu Mengcheng, the person in question.

On the other hand, the physical book of "Swordsmanship in the Snow" has the website address of Jingjing Reading Network printed on it.

With a circulation of 10 and a steady stream of releases, there should be some readers of physical books who will visit Jingjing Reading Network according to the website address.

All in all, Jingjing Reading Network has unknowingly ranked third in terms of industry traffic after pastries and Jianjian.
