Rebirth 2003

Time is the most ruthless thing. Whether you are making progress, going backwards, or standing still, it will flow forward at its inherent speed.

　　 In a blink of an eye, one month passed.

　　Lu Yang's "Doomsday Wasteland" was completely updated at the starting point three days ago, and at the starting point, it became Lu Yang's first book to complete the work.

　　 There are more than 3.2 million hits and more than 200,000 recommended votes.

　　 This achievement, at the beginning of 2004, is a bit scary. At least it can be ranked among the first-line authors, but it is still a lot worse than those top gods.

　　 There are many reasons why Lu Yang's first work after his rebirth could achieve such a result at the starting point.

　　 One is an innovation in the subject matter. No one has ever written such a subject matter before, which gives readers a great sense of novelty. Another important reason is that Lu Yang’s update is stable and the number of words updated daily.

　　 In 2003 and 2004, there were very few professional authors who wrote online novels. Most of them were just for fun, writing and uploading them in their spare time based on hobbies.

This kind of situation leads to a common situation that more than 90% of the works are updated unstable. Even the works of many popular authors often have chapters updated in a few days, or even a chapter in ten days and a half a month. .

　　 Lu Yang, who was reborn, is able to update steadily every day, and the number of words updated every day is more than 6,000 words, which attracts countless readers to follow the chapters and form a stickiness.

Of course, the core reason is that the quality of Lu Yang's work is above average, with high quality, stable updates, and novel themes. This is the only way to achieve such an impressive result in this era when online literature has just emerged. .

　　 The work was successful, and the pen name of Lu Yangwen Chou also gained a little fame.

The most direct benefit of 　　 is that after Lu Yang’s new book "Master of Loneliness" was uploaded, its popularity has grown much faster than the first "Doomsday Wasteland".

　　 Since the new book was uploaded, the total number of hits has reached 620,000, and the number of recommended votes has reached more than 50,000.

　　The number of collectors also exceeded 12 thousand.

　　 At this time, the total number of words uploaded at the starting point of "Master Loneliness" has reached 240,000 words. Just tonight, "Master Loneliness" will be on sale.

　　 As for the publishing house, three more episodes were published a few days ago, and Lu Yang also received another manuscript fee and three sample books.

　　 The final month's fee for the "Doomsday Wasteland" on the website has just arrived. Because the book is at the end, the number of subscribers has increased slightly. The fee for the draft is actually the highest one month since Lu Yang uploaded it, reaching more than 15,000.

　　 There is more space at hand, and Lu Yang's pressure is lessened. Seeing that the two houses he bought are about to be completed, Lu Yang still needs a lot of money to renovate and purchase equipment for Internet cafes.

　　 Lu Yang's previous plan was to mortgage the house to the bank and borrow a sum of money to fix the decoration and equipment.

　　 However, the loan is not in a hurry now.

　　 This semester is coming to an end. It will definitely not make much money to open an Internet cafe during the summer vacation. Therefore, Lu Yang's plan is to set up an Internet cafe before the beginning of the next semester.

　　 In this way, there will be two or three months to make money for him. Maybe then, he will not need to borrow much from the bank.

　　……

　　Although I have written many books, Lu Yang is still looking forward to and nervous every time a new book hits the shelves.

　　 The popularity of a book before it is put on the shelves is imaginary.

　　All authors care about the number of collections of works, because after they are on the shelves, they will spend money to subscribe, only those readers who have already collected them.

　　 And the number of bookmarks can not be the total number of subscribers.

For successful works, the ratio of collection to subscription may be 10:1, or even 8:1, 7:1 at the starting point. For some unfortunate works, the ratio of collection to subscription may be as high as 20:1; 30:1; Even 100:1.

　　Imagine a work with good collection data, and the number of collections has reached 10,000.

　　 If it is 10:1, 1,000 readers will spend money to subscribe, and the author can still earn some hard money.

　　 But if it is 20:1; 30:1, or even 100:1, the number of subscribers may be 500, 300, or even 100.

　　The sales of the chapters at the starting point have always been pitifully low. For a thousand words, a subscription only costs two cents, but only one cent can be allocated to the author.

　　 Even if it is 3,000 words for a chapter, it costs six cents to subscribe once, and it costs sixty yuan to subscribe for a thousand people. For this sixty yuan, the author can also get thirty yuan.

　　 If the author is diligent and updates two chapters a day, he can get almost two thousand yuan in one month.

　　 If the author is desperate to update three chapters a day, he can get less than three thousand yuan in one month.

　　 As for the authors who update more than 10,000 words a day, there are always very few at the starting point, and most authors can't do it.

This is still a good situation. If the subscription ratio is 20:1, or even 30:1; 100:1, then the author will suffer a lot of suffering. If you work hard to write more than 100,000 to 200,000 a month, you can earn a lot. Hundreds of dollars.

　　What can a few hundred dollars do?

　　 I paid the internet fee, plus the cigarette fee, the food is not enough.

　　 Of course, some people may have to say, who let you smoke? You deserve to have insufficient money.

　　 But the conscience of heaven and earth, how many people who write novels do not smoke?

When there is no inspiration, I feel so upset that I want to hit people; when I am lonely, I feel that the whole person is separated from the world; when I am happy, I can hardly find anyone to share~www.wuxiaspot.com~Imagine it, whenever these Back then, as the author of an otaku, a poor codeword worker, was it really too much to smoke a few cigarettes?

　　 In short, every time a new book hits the shelves is a big deal for an author.

　　 The subscription status is good, the manuscript fee can be a little more, and I work hard every day to code out the words, and I can only sell a few dollars for less than a thousand words.

　　 Poor subscription status, just wait to drink Northwest Wind!

　　 It's the final exam recently. That night, Cao Xue was reading in Lu Yang's bedroom. New books were on the shelves. Only Lu Yang was waiting alone in front of the computer.

　　 There is no state in the code word, and I always feel unsure.

In 2004, there were still not many readers who were willing to spend money to read books. Although the subscription status of his last "Doomsday Wasteland" was OK, and even though the popularity of this "Master of Loneliness" so far, the popularity of the data was good, but it was true. However, the subscription situation is not good. As long as the ratio of favorites to subscriptions drops a little, the difference will be huge.

　　 The subscription data for less than 24 hours is released, no one can tell.

　　 The night is getting deeper, and the time slowly comes to 12 midnight.

　　 The editor Tian Ge sent a text message to tell Lu Yang that the chapter was opened and that the charged chapter could be uploaded.

　　 Lu Yang sighed lightly, covered his face with his hands, relaxed the skin on his face, relieved the pressure, and then opened his own manuscript, logged into the author's background, and uploaded three chapters in one go.

　　 Whether this book can make money on the Internet depends on the next subscription data.
