From abandoned baby to CEO

When Su Di heard this, he shook his head vigorously and sighed: "How can you print so many copies of the first book? You can print only two hundred copies at most."

Sun Xue panicked and quickly asked: "What should we do now?"

Su Di joked: "It can only be served cold!"

Sun Xue smiled bitterly and said: "My great poet, it's already this time, are you still in the mood to joke?"

Su Di thought about it seriously and said: "You are not well-known yet, so it will be very difficult to sell these books.

You are writing an inspirational novel, and your readership should be college and technical secondary school students. You can promote it in major technical secondary schools in Quancheng City. "

Sun Xue thinks this is also a good idea, but it is her first time to go to school to promote it, and she is also confused.

After many inquiries, she finally understood the general procedure.

If you want to promote it in the school, you need to find the relevant leaders in charge of publicity in the school to negotiate.

Sun Xue found the leaders of several nearby technical secondary schools and put forward her own ideas. Unexpectedly, her request was unanimously rejected by the other party. The reason for rejection is straightforward: activities involving selling things are not allowed by the school.

Later, Sun Xue learned that for a new author like her, people would not pay attention to you at all.

The road of school promotion seemed to be unworkable, and Sun Xue fell into helplessness again.

Seeing that school promotion was not working, Su Di was also worried for her.

Su Di called many of his friends in publishing houses in Shanghai for advice, hoping to find a good way to help Sun Xue.

Time passed day by day, but Sun Xue's new book still had not found a good sales channel.

For this reason, Sun Xue got angry and a bunch of blisters appeared around her mouth.

.....

One night at dinner, Su Di said to Sun Xue: "Sun Xue, do you know how to surf the Internet?"

Sun Xue shook his head.

"I heard that many people use forums now. There are many writers on the forum. Why don't you give it a try? Post your novel on the forum and promote it to see if it has any effect."

"Forum? What forum?"

This was the first time Sun Xue heard this word.

Su Di shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this either. You can figure it out yourself on the Internet!"

Sun Xue responded. Although she felt that this method was very unreliable, there was currently no good solution. I could only give it a try, registered an account online, and posted the first three chapters of my novel on it.

A few days later, Sun Xue went to the Internet cafe again. When she opened the forum, she found that many people had commented that her novel was very good and urged her to continue posting.

So Sun Xue posted three more chapters on it. When she opened it the next day, she found that many netizens had commented and praised her article for being well written.

Sun Xue suddenly became excited, so every night, she took advantage of the evening study time to sneak to the Internet cafe to hang out in the forum.

Sun Xue discovered that there were many literature enthusiasts on the forum, and they were chatting very enthusiastically about literature.

She also talked to them about some of her views on literature.

Because of her very fast typing speed and her own works, she quickly became an active member of the forum.

Sun Xue serializes a chapter of her novel on the forum every day. Her works are highly sought after by everyone, and many netizens are looking forward to the updates of her novels every day.

After hanging out on the forum for a month, Sun Xue gained a certain reputation on the forum. And she has many fans, who look forward to updates of her novels every day.

Sun Xue felt that this was an excellent opportunity to promote her new book. Sun Xue posted the news that he had published a paper book on the forum. Unexpectedly, it soon received unanimous praise from netizens.

Many netizens have made requests to purchase physical books.

It was not long after the forum had just started, but the number of registered users had grown to a large scale. Moreover, those who hang out in the forum are either student gang members or literary youths.

Sun Xue realized that these netizens were his real accurate customers.

She immediately decided to sell her new book online.

As soon as this decision was made, Sun Xue received a large number of book purchase requests from netizens.

In just one week, hundreds of books in her hand were booked by netizens.

These books simply could not meet the needs of a large number of netizens. After repeated requests from netizens, she rushed to print another 1000 copies, which were quickly sold out.

Her reputation on the forum grew, and at the request of netizens, she organized offline meetings with netizens.

At the meeting, she was also sought after by netizens, and some netizens even traveled thousands of miles to attend offline events just to meet her.

At the offline meeting, a large group of literature lovers opened their hearts and chatted about literature and dreams. The event was very successful.

As the organizer of the offline event, Sun Xue shared some of her experiences in literary creation. Su Di also shared his unique insights on literature in this event, which attracted the attention of netizens.

She also took the opportunity to promote the magazine founded by herself and Su Di. She made a decision: all netizens who come to participate in offline activities can get a magazine for free and get an autograph of her new book.

In this way, through online and offline activities, Sun Xue's new book was printed four times in just two months, and the sales volume exceeded 5,000 copies.

This achievement is already quite impressive for a newcomer who has just published a book.

Even she herself did not expect that an accidental opportunity would bring her unexpected and huge success.

Her first book is still selling like hotcakes on the Internet, and her popularity on forums is growing.

The new book sold well, bringing her a very considerable income.

This income is much higher than the royalties I received from writing articles before. Only then did she understand what Sudi said to herself at that time: if her book sells well, it will bring her huge profits.

It was also this chance that made Sun Xue realize that the Internet that was just emerging in China would be the next outlet and opportunity.

She suddenly understood that sentence: Every invisible effort you make in private will always be doubled in return at a certain moment.

If I didn't have computer knowledge, if I didn't keep writing over time, if I didn't have the firm belief and persistence to publish books at that time, then I wouldn't have achieved the results I have achieved today.

With the sales of the novel and his popularity on the forum increasing day by day. The magazine she and Sudi founded gradually began to take off.

She and Su Di calculated it carefully and found that the magazine's losses from the beginning slowly began to recover.

This is a good momentum, at least the magazine can survive.

What she didn't expect was that there was an even bigger surprise waiting for her.
