"Oh, my skin editor has also been written." Chen Jingjing said, "It's mainly a manual for skin design. How to write it gives me a headache!"

In essence, input method skin creation involves using the officially provided skin editor to modify the appearance of the input method.

For example, input boxes, status bars, fonts, and more importantly, the theme background of the skin.

Of course, some people like Calabash Baby, some people like Monkey King, and some people like celebrities. Different themes may have different potential audiences.

Ordinary users are pragmatic and can use official skins. After all, changing skins does not improve efficiency.

Changing the skin is mainly to provide a more personalized choice for niche users.

By the way, the software can also realize some traffic monetization through this paid skin.

"The person who called is from an advertising company and is very interested in making paid skins. How about giving him the input method skin editor first. Let him learn how to use it, and then turn the experience into a tutorial? Advertising Those who make flyers in the company should be able to do this, right?" Han Xiu thought for a while and said.

"Okay! I can leave this matter to you!

If he writes a skin editing tutorial, he can be rewarded with 3000 yuan!

In addition, the paid skins produced by it can be recommended with priority. "Chen Jingjing thought for a while, and naturally made the conditions.

The bonus of 3000 yuan is not low.

The other party originally wanted to make paid skins, but now provides it with a skin tool that can make skins.It shouldn’t be difficult to turn the process of figuring out how to make a good skin into a guide.

Coupled with this, after the paid skin goes online, skins will be recommended first. This condition is naturally more attractive to creators than giving cash.

Giving a cash reward is just a meal.

And paid skins help promote and recommend them, which is a feast for the eyes.

This is also what Chen Jingjing learned from the operation of Jingjing Reading Network.

The authors of Jingjing Reading Network have a different mentality from ordinary office workers.Office workers just need to get paid step by step, and their other ambitions are promotion and salary increase at most.

Creators often have huge dreams, so some creators can endure some difficulties that office workers cannot.

For example, the difficulty of continuing to hit the street...similar to the difficulty of continuing to fail in starting a business is beyond the ability of ordinary people, but many creators can persevere.

The reason is... Youhong's example proves what level of rewards there will be once you reach that point!

The expectation of creating a hit work far outweighs the thought of receiving an extra month of royalties.

If the author is allowed to choose, one more month of manuscript fee or one more recommendation.Most authors will probably choose - one more recommendation!

Perhaps, the direct increase in royalties brought by one more recommendation is not as direct as the direct increase in royalties from one more month.

However, the two are different in nature, because one more website recommendation display may be one step closer to the dream.

Taking an extra month of royalties actually won't change anything.

Think of skin creators as text creators.The content of creation is different, but the motivation methods of the two are similar.

Not only do I hope to get paid, but I also hope that my work will be recognized by more people.

……

Han Xiu returned to the computer station.

Then, I added a QQ friend - "The King of Advertising".

This nickname is so arrogant.

"Hello, I am Han Xiu, an employee of the Jingjing Pinyin Project.

Previously, I asked the leader for permission to apply for a rare opportunity to try out the skin editor in advance.

If you can learn to use the skin editor to make skins in advance, you will gain experience earlier than other creators.

In addition, the copy of our skin editor usage tutorial has not yet been written. If you are interested in writing the copy of the basic version of the skin editor, introduce each function with text and screenshots.

It has pictures and texts, the writing style is good, and the tutorials on how to use it are clearly written. After completion, you will be rewarded with 3000 yuan. "

Han Xiu quickly started drawing, "If your tutorial is well written and easy to understand, in addition to cash rewards, you will also be given priority in recommended resources in the Skin Center for 3 months, and the skins you upload will be displayed first. to users.”

"Ah? Thank you, thank you! Miss Han Xiu, I am very satisfied with this cooperation!" Wang Xiao immediately started licking.

The positions of the two are not equivalent.

Although, Wang Xiao is a small boss who runs his own advertising company.And Han Xiu is just an employee of an Internet company.

However, the popular product of the company behind Hanxiu already has millions of users, and it is still growing at the rate of 10 users every day.

Although, there is still a huge gap between it and Tencent's level.But this growth rate is definitely a miracle in the current domestic Internet!

Those who don’t follow this track may not watch this.

Ok……

Nowadays, Internet entrepreneurship focuses on Alexa rankings. If a website is not opened on a browser, it seems that it is not worthy of being called an Internet company.

But in fact, Tencent is just a chat client software company, and its flagship product is not a website on the browser.

Many other online games that make a lot of money are also client products, not WEB Internet in the narrow sense.

Wang Xiao didn't measure the Jingjing Pinyin input method based on Alexa ranking, but he actually felt that it was easy to use. In addition, after paying a little attention, he knew that the traffic of its major download sites had gone crazy.

In the short term, the rankings of major download sites will be among the top ones, if not number one.

Among all download sites, the download ranking of Jingjing Pinyin is very popular.If things continue like this, Jingjing Pinyin will soon have tens of millions, or even tens of millions, of users.

Due to lack of imagination, Wang Xiao did not think about hundreds of millions of users.Even so, according to his imagination, the future will be small Tencent.

With such a huge number of daily active users, even if a small part clicks on the skin center and downloads skins, the number will be extremely huge.

Not to mention, skin creation is a one-time production and can continue to bring in income in the future, which is much more promising than his current job.

Chapter 258 Chen Jingjing’s Growth

Wang Xiao received the skin editor software from Han Xiu, and suddenly felt like he would die for his confidant.

The reason is……

This thing was given to him in advance before it was officially released to the market, without even signing a confidentiality agreement.

Wang Xiao then handed over all the company's work to other employees.Well, actually, Wang Xiao Advertising Company is a partnership company. Although he is the major shareholder, everyone has shares.

For completed orders, I get half, and the other half belongs to the company.

Of course, in order for people to convince him, Wang Xiao himself is the one who does the most work and contributes the most.

The boss of a small company takes the lead himself, which is also a management style.

"Lao Gao, Lao Li, come here to help. If you succeed, the company will be prosperous!" Wang Xiao shook his head excitedly.

Soon, two classmates and partners who started a business with him came over neatly.

Wang Xiao began to explain the work tasks.

Lao Gao is an artist, and Lao Li knows a little about computers. Soon the three of them started working on a skin editor.

Originally, all three of them had used the Jingjing Pinyin input method and had experience using the product.

Then, everyone began to study the software itself and the functions of the skin modifier bit by bit.

"Oh...it's not complicated either!"

"Is that so..."

"Oh? In fact, here, you can use PS to modify the picture and change it into a skin material suitable for the input method. For the rest, most of the rest is to use the editor to design a distinctive skin appearance."

A few people got started and quickly figured out how to use the skin editor.

Lao Gao got started the fastest, mainly because he is an artist and often uses PS or other tools commonly used by artists. Relatively speaking, the functions of Jingjing Pinyin Input Method Skin Editor are very simple, and he figured it out almost quickly. functions and can be used easily.

Then, a skin was quickly designed.However, I just randomly found some art materials and did it casually without taking it too seriously.

"It's a good idea!" Lao Gao's eyes were bright, "It seems simple, but in fact it also requires some design! This is just right, it requires professionalism, but it's not too difficult!"

"The main reason is that the threshold is too low. If thousands of people make skins at once, what advantage will we have?" Lao Li must understand.

The reason why he is a half-baked programmer is that when he was in college, he once participated in a project of a senior student. Then, he saw that the software developed by his senior student for two years failed to make a splash on the download site and was replaced by a bunch of homogeneous products. Roll to death.

Then, Lao Li didn't pay much attention to learning computers, and he was just a dabbler after graduation.Fortunately, the advertising company he joined was not an IT company.

Wang Xiao said seriously: "So, be quick! Seize the opportunities that others don't realize and make a lot of money quickly! Later... we can use copyrighted materials to make skins! We have the copyright, others can do it It’s a violation of our intellectual property rights!”

"Not bad!" Lao Gao and Lao Li couldn't help but nodded.

The advertising and media industry is an industry that is constantly litigated.There are a lot of copyright disputes.

A large advertising company may sue a company in location A for infringement of its intellectual property rights.

In place B, some companies may sue them for infringement of intellectual property rights.

In the advertising and media industry, if you want to do well, a strong legal department is indispensable.If you don't sue anyone, they will sue you.

Without the ability to fight ten lawsuits at the same time, I would be embarrassed to say that I am a giant in the advertising industry.

In these industries, lawsuits are as common as eating and sleeping.Of course, you have to be a big company to do that.

Wang Xiao's small advertising company has not yet developed to a high level, and the success or failure of the company depends on the level of the legal department.

……

"Sister Xiu, we made some skins. Can you see the effect? ​​If the effect is good, it means that the usage we explored is correct." Wang Xiao respectfully contacted Han on QQ the next day. show.

Han Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then accepted the procedure so quickly.

Then, I didn’t dare to be careless and asked other technical leaders of the company to check.Soon after, it was concluded that Wang Xiao had indeed made a qualified skin.In the official version, the long status bar has been changed to an oval shape.

The font is also slightly different from the official version of the skin.

It has a slight sense of design.

"I think this skin is even better than our official skin!" A coder named Wang Song commented.

"It's an advertising company over there, with professional artists." Chen Jingjing looked at the new skin and couldn't help but feel that she was specialized in the art industry.

Although the Jingjing Pinyin input method has some designs, it is just okay and not too crude.

But now the skins produced by third parties are better.

This gave Chen Jingjing some new ideas:

“After the Skin Center goes online, we will hold an official skin collection contest.

Participate in skin requirements, simple and beautiful.

选10个名次吧，前No.1给1万奖金。后面8000、6000。4~10名给2000！”

"Not bad! Jingjing, you have also learned to use leadership thinking and plan activities!" Zhang Tiantian couldn't help but look very impressed,

"Our artists are really not good! Why not collect outstanding works from third parties and replace them with better official default skins later!" Chen Jingjing said, "In addition, we can also promote the skin center through skin contests and stimulate more users to pay attention to this skin center. function!”

"When will the preparations start?"

"After National Day! Specifically, the competition deadline is at the end of the year. Participants must first get the top 100 downloads by users. Then, we will filter the most popular skins and select ten winners. The first one will be the default Skin, and other skins are also recommended." Since Chen Jingjing graduated, she has participated in more company management decisions and has a group of people under her control, so she has unknowingly learned the thinking of a manager.

Although she was still writing code, under the influence of Zhao Han, Chen Wenwen and others, her management talent gradually awakened.

Many Internet company bosses, even those with a purely technical background, will unknowingly view problems from a management perspective as they participate in the entrepreneurial and management process, not just as a coder.

Having another perspective is actually more helpful in polishing the product.

Although, many people later laughed at Xiaomi’s Mr. Lei for not wanting to make progress.

But Mr. Lei’s success is not just about the single “Are You Ok”, but also about his technical sensitivity.

For example, after the Apple mobile phone came out, Lei Jun realized that smartphones were the big focus. When the open source Android system came out, Lei Jun did not hesitate to devote most of his resources to Xiaomi and began to build mobile phones across industries.

Xiaomi has promoted the pig theory to everyone.

But being able to see that it is a hot topic and knowing how to participate actually requires a technical background.

Otherwise, when a trend appears, you don’t know where to start and seize the opportunity.
