Chapter 747

Of course, physical channels cannot be ignored.

Fortunately, although the acquired publishing house is small, it still has some channels.

In fact, the biggest problem is still in terms of promotion costs.

Under normal circumstances, the publisher needs to pay the promotion fee in advance, but for True Color, there is no need at all.

Because the copyright of the work itself belongs to True Color Publishing House.

As for whether he will lose money, that is not a problem. Originally, this was just an attempt on Lin Xiao's whim. Lin Xiao could afford to lose millions or even tens of millions of dollars.

Under the arrangement of Lan Xiaoxiao, "Fifty Dark Sides" was quickly taken over by three female authors, and began to fill in "Fifty Dark Sides" according to the outline given by Lin Xiao.

At the same time, the translation was in place, and the simultaneous translation of the written "Fifty Dark Sides" began.

At the same time, the pre-publicity of "Fifty Dark Sides" also started.

However, when publicizing, they encountered a problem. In North America, there is actually no real platform for book online publicity.

In fact, it cannot be said that there is no such thing, but there is.

That is the websites of the major publishing groups. They will open the number of some best-selling books and a small part of the content for trial reading on the website.

There are also some older books, and some electronic versions will also be provided for paid reading.

But almost all of them have their own propaganda. To be precise, these websites all serve their respective parent companies of publishing groups.

The online novel trial reading websites in North America are actually different from domestic online literature websites. Although they also have some paid services for electronic versions, most of them are a promotional position for best-selling authors and new writers.

Many new books, can only see a small part.

Many people say that if the model of domestic online literature is copied abroad, there will be a market, but that is all nonsense.

Because the copyright management in foreign countries is very strict, basically every work to be published needs to go through multiple verifications to prove the ownership of the copyright, prove that the novel does not have plagiarism, etc., before it can be officially published.

And if the domestic model is copied, there will be big problems.

Because once the floodgates are opened, it is impossible for the website to read and review every novel, which would be too much work and unrealistic.

So once there is infringement and other acts, it is estimated that this website does not need to do anything, just wait for a lawsuit every day.

Because amateur authors often start their creations with imitation, which is of course no problem in China, but abroad, although if your novel is not famous, generally no one will pay attention to it, but once the novel becomes popular, then Sorry, you wait for the defendant.

Therefore, domestic online literature is full of quantity, but foreign novel reading materials, etc., are not based on quantity.

Some online novel piracy websites in China have been banned repeatedly, but the possibility of this situation in foreign countries is very low.

This is related to interest groups, and publishing groups will not allow this to happen.

Another one is that text piracy is too easy, so the cost and risk of making online literature are too high, which is why, while online literature in Huaguo is booming, there are almost no large-scale online literature in foreign countries. website.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no more foreign countries, in fact there are still some, but most of them are not for profit.

Of course, there is another argument that the general economic level of foreign people is relatively high, and it is impossible for them to be as diligent as the authors in China. This is pure nonsense, and there are still poor people abroad.

In fact, it's just a difference in the environment.

Closer to home.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no similar platforms, but most of them are miserable!

Why?The reason is simple. The best-selling books in North America belong to major publishing groups. Why should they provide them to you?
And if you are not authorized, can you upload one and try it?

Although it's free, you can't repost it without authorization.

On this day, the websites of several major publishing groups received an advertising order.

Although most of the trial reading websites under the publishing group serve their parent company, they usually take over the business of some small publishing companies.

Let those publishing companies put the books they want to publish on their websites for preview.

Most of the time, though, these are small bucks.

But this time is different!
The order received by several major publishing groups came from a small publishing company. The reason why the person in charge of the website was surprised was that the order.

The other party wants to buy the editor-in-chief recommendation position on the homepage of the website.

Originally, this kind of editor-in-chief recommendation position was in the most conspicuous position of each website, and it was basically not for sale, and it cannot be said that it was not for sale, but basically no one would make such a request.

Because the price is not cheap.

But this time, the publishing house called "True Color" even said with a lot of money that it would directly buy half a month's editor-in-chief recommendation.

Don't look at it as a website owned by a major publishing group, but in fact, the people in charge of these websites are actually quite hard-working.

Because, the website is a platform for publicity and promotion of the group's published books. Usually, except for some small businesses, there are only a few advertisement lists, but they are relatively small lists.

They rely on group blood transfusions most of the time.

Also, this time the "True Color" Publishing House spent at least hundreds of thousands of dollars to promote a novel, and it was promoted by colleagues in several companies. Adding up, the promotion funds amounted to millions.

Their first reaction was that this f*cking local tyrant wrote the book himself, and wanted to use this method to give himself money?

Why not make money?

As a result, the novel titled "Fifty Dark Sides" soon landed on the most prominent recommendation positions on the trial websites of several publishing groups.

Tang Ni is a corporate white-collar worker. She has two secrets. One is that she has a crush on her boss, and the other is that she has discovered that she has a tendency to be masochistic, that is, she is a Shaker.

It's just this hobby that makes it hard for her to talk about it.

This secret of hers will only be revealed when chatting with unknown netizens on the Internet.

Even for this, she joined a secret Dou M fan community.

Originally, Tang Ni seemed a little inferior because of her unique hobby, and it was a little hard to tell, but since she joined this hobby community, she discovered that there are so many people who have the same hobby as herself.

Tang Ni flirted with a female netizen from the Tonghao community. After solving her physical needs, she became a little melancholy again.

So, she began to think of something else to pass the tormenting time.

She prefers to read books, but she doesn't seem to have bought any new books recently, forget it, go to online classes, is there any more interesting books?

Then Donnie turned on her favorite bestseller sample site.

As a result, it turned out to be a novel called "Fifty Dark Sides".
