Start earning money as the girl next door

However, except for cakes, the current industry is very difficult to compete with. Therefore, the promotion of Jingjing Reading Network exaggerates its strength.But it’s not outrageous, it’s just a matter of propaganda caliber.

For example, pastries often mention how much monthly electronic subscription fees are paid, and do not mention the amount of agency publishing fees. This is mainly because the income from agency publishing is not as good as that of Jianjian.

Similarly, Jianjian still considers himself to be the industry leader. The reason is that when the income from publishing agency is taken into account, the monthly royalties paid by Jianjian can reach millions.

However, the threshold for agency publishing is high, and... after many authors were represented by Jianjian once or twice, they felt distressed by the withheld agency fees, and directly contacted the publishing house themselves.

Because it is difficult for unpublished authors to get published.

If you have been published by an agent and have achieved results, you are not considered a new publisher. It is very easy to contact publishers on your own.

The reason for the loss of Jianjian's authors is that Guang saw that the income from agency publishing was higher than the current electronic subscription market.However, I didn’t understand one thing. The threshold for signing a contract in the electronic subscription market to get royalties is lower. A lower threshold will attract more authors. In the end, it will rely on its quantitative advantage to crush the agency publishing business. A website for the main business.

Dragon Forum.

Miss Chunhua's dog posted a new post - "Let's loose wealth post, scattered on the 200th floor":

"It's my first time to register for Longlong Forum. As a small fan of Jingjing Reading Network, I will also make some money. Last month's manuscript fee was 1.6W, and the publishing bosses will laugh at me. But, as a new author, I have already made a lot of money. Satisfied."

After this post was published.

Soon, the fans of Longlong Forum started to post comments one after another.

"sofa!"

"Wo Cao, is Xin Nen so powerful now?"

"The poster is not Xinnen, but the new god of Jingjing Reading Network. His collection exceeds [-] yuan. It has been two months since the manuscript fee exceeded [-] yuan. It seems that last month it was reported that the manuscript fee exceeded [-] yuan."

"Jingjing Reading Network, what can you write that will make you popular?"

"He's also a boss!"

"I guess, LZ posted, his gay friend is a god, he's late but he's here!"

Miss Chunhua’s dog posted on the Dragon Forum, but it was not the website editor who asked him to post it.

Rather, I have been in the industry for a few months, and I have been eating melons for a few months. If I don’t register an account on the Longlong Forum, where I often eat melons, to gain a sense of presence, I feel that I am missing a little bit of the feeling of being in the industry.

Not long after, after finishing typing the words, I went to the QQ group and found an author discussing Chunhua’s dog, so I went to Longlong to post.

Sure enough... he immediately opened the browser and logged into the Longlong Forum.

"Hey, bitch, you're here too? As a five-month-old senior of Hunlonglong, I want to point you to some experience of Hunlonghun." Pu Sancheng Shen replied in the post.

Soon, some authors downstairs seized the opportunity: "Jingjing Reading Network has had over [-] authors in three months. Isn't it you who is the third one, the boss of Pasancheng God?"

When asked about the reply, I immediately burst into tears. Unfortunately, the author who made more than [-] yuan in the third month was not him.

It is a martial arts book called "The Swordsman", and the number of subscriptions has not actually exceeded 1000.The problem is, it was recommended to Anhui Literature and Art Publishing House for publication in simplified Chinese.Although the first printing was only 5000 copies, the monthly manuscript fee immediately exceeded [-]!

2Chapter 16 Agency publishing business

The author of "The Swordsman" also had bad luck.Anhui Literature and Art Publishing House made a lot of money from "Swordsmanship in the Snow".

I am particularly confident in martial arts novels.

Then, I signed the simplified version of "The Swordsman". Although this book... sold far less than "In the Snow", the first printing was sold out, and the next volume was published, which was confirmed.

It is estimated that the publishing fee next month will still exceed [-]!

"No need to make wild guesses. I have reliable information. The fee for the third draft did not exceed [-] yuan, just a little bit.

@道道道道 This is the third big boss with a monthly income of over [-] yuan, and he has already published a book in simplified Chinese. It seems that the second episode of "The Swordsman" will be released soon. "Miss Chunhua's dog quickly replied below.

Staring at the screen, Huang Dashan wanted to hit someone. This piece of shit was really annoying.

Last month, Pu San Cheng Shen's manuscript fee did not exceed 9673 yuan, 3 yuan, just a little bit less.Therefore, he is not included among the three authors whose monthly income exceeds [-] yuan announced by the website.

Not long after, Dao Daodao Daodao appeared in the post below and replied: "Don't laugh at me, you two are better at subscribing!

I was lucky enough to write about martial arts. Seeing that Sister Liu's martial arts books were selling well, the publishing house signed my simplified version. This was due to the strong recommendation from the editor-in-chief of the website, Ms. Yu Weiwei, to the editor-in-chief of the publishing house.

But I just sold 5000 copies of the first printing. Although the publisher published the second volume, it did not reprint the first volume because they thought it would be risky to reprint it. "

"I'm so angry!" Huang Dashan originally felt very good about his royalties. One month's royalties were much higher than one year's salary. What kind of bicycle do you want?

However... I'm afraid of comparison!

It's not compared to the top great Liu Mengcheng.

But compared with Miss Chunhua's dog, the two fought back and forth at first.Gradually, he turned into that bitch and beat him unilaterally.

Whether it is collection, subscription or update, the gap gradually widens.

What’s even more annoying is that Miss Chunhua’s dog is only 19 years old.Originally, he was a young man living in rural areas. He was discovered by an editor from his hometown in an Internet cafe and encouraged him to write a book.As a result, the book became a hit.

Although it cannot be compared with those extraordinary masters who are selling simplified and traditional Chinese.However, if the monthly income from electronic subscriptions exceeds [-] yuan, even if you get cakes, it is still a great achievement.

Now, another martial arts writer, Dao Dao Dao Dao, has appeared.

Well, the writing style of Dao Dao Dao Dao is actually pretty good, a little better than Pu Sancheng Shen.

After all, the average writing style of authors who write about martial arts and romance is higher.Mainly because there are a large number of imitations of martial arts and romance works by famous artists.

Many authors started by imitating famous writers and gradually accumulated some writing skills.

For example, the writing style of some female channel authors looks better, except that the focus of male and female channels is different.Male authors like to think about ideas and creativity, and are excited by an idea.

The female author’s attention to some details of writing, and the fact that the female author’s book originated from romance novel lovers.

In the early days, it was a communication forum established online by fans of physical romance novels. Later, there were dedicated reading websites...

In the early days, Jiang Jiang was a large number of fan works, written not for profit, but for hobbies.Then, the number of original works gradually increased, and Jiangjiang.com gradually started a publishing agency business. In the early days, royalties could only be paid after publishing.

Because publishing has higher requirements on writing skills, the female authors in the early days of Jiangjiang.com were not necessarily top-notch creatively, but their average writing skills were relatively high.

Jiangjiang Literature City, like Jianjian, has been an agent publishing bookseller for a long time. Authors can publish articles for free if they have a certain popularity or quality and are published by Jiangjiang.

As for Jiangjiang, the largest female channel site, VIP payment was not tried until 2008. Can you believe it?

For a long time, Jiang Jiang followed the same path as Jianjian, publishing as an agent.Jianjian is unlucky to have a peer like Pastry, which sucks away the author's resources.

Jiang Jiang had a good life. It was not until 2008 that he felt the pressure of losing authors caused by the VIP payment of his female counterparts. Then, he followed the situation and launched VIP payment, stabilizing the basic market.

The general pattern is that the current online literary world and the female video market on the other side of Jianghu have not yet developed.

The mainstream market structure is between pastry, Jianjian and Jingjing competing for hegemony.

As for... Yingying, after being banned from pornography, it has not resumed operations.To be honest, even after Yingying resumed operations, the author was gone, and the original readership and traffic scale could not be maintained.

To put it simply, it is inevitable that the Eagle Eagle will transform from its head into a trash fish.

"Didi Didi, are you here? We have something to discuss! Traditional Chinese publishing." Yu Weiwei's QQ message.

For a moment, Huang Dashan was excited and quickly replied: "Mr. Wei, can my book be published?"

"In this case, "Rebirth 1990" by Zhao Han and Liu Mengcheng of Pastry is a collaboration between two authors. Now the conflict between the two authors makes the publisher find it troublesome and is not planning to publish it for the time being.

However, the wind of urban rebirth has already begun to blow.

There are already some pastry urban rebirth novels published in Traditional Chinese, and they are selling well.So, Traditional Chinese Publishing contacted us. "Yu Weiwei briefly explained the causes and consequences.

In fact, among the works signed by Jingjing Reading Network, the quality is slightly better. She has tried to contact simplified and traditional Chinese publishing through connections.However, for the time being, the rejection rate is low.

Especially Simplified Chinese publishing is extremely difficult.

In terms of traditional publishing, it seems that those who can publish [-] or [-] copies are enough to meet the threshold.

Traditional Chinese booksellers generally have channels for renting bookstores, which can handle at least one or two hundred books and as many as three to five hundred.

In fact, it only needs to sell a few hundred copies to make the money back.

Well, the threshold for traditional Chinese publishing is low, so there are many publishers. Most booksellers have a store in front of the store and a factory in the back. That is, there is a bookstore in the front and the publishing house’s editorial department in the back.Some don't even have bookstores, just a leather bag company.Therefore, it is not uncommon for traditional Chinese publishers to go bankrupt and run away.

However, Jingjing Reading Network is currently mainly looking for Xianwang Publishing House, which has released many popular products in recent years.

The best-selling Traditional Chinese version of "Piao Miao Journey" is produced by this company, and its reputation is still good for the time being.

Traditional Chinese booksellers with good business still pay more attention to word of mouth, and even the manuscript fee can be advanced.

Most of the pitfalls are poorly managed and the entire market is going downhill.

"What cooperation does traditional Chinese publishing require from me?" Huang Dashan asked.

"It's not necessary! They will polish it for you over there, as long as you submit it on time.

Of course, we will hand over your updated manuscript directly now.

If you agree, it will be published by the website agent.

The royalties for agency publishing are the same as electronic sharing. 70% is yours and 30% is deducted for the website. "

Yu Weiwei said, "In the future, if you find a publisher to cooperate with, inform the website in advance. If you find publishing by yourself, you don't need to pay publishing fees to the website."

2Chapter 17 Crossing the River by Touching the Pastry Experience

According to Yu Weiwei's original idea, she wanted to monopolize the website's novel agency publishing rights.

After all, if you pass the deal, you will get 30% agency publishing commission.

For example, the simplified version of the first episode of "Snow in the Snow" sold more than 20 copies, contributing more than 17 yuan in agency publishing commissions to the website.Traditional Chinese also earns 9000 yuan per episode.

This kind of popular book can bring a profit of 18 yuan to the website a month, and it is not a one-time deal.

On average, Liu Mengcheng probably contributes no less than 10 yuan in profit to the website every month!

Publishing by ordinary authors can also bring a lot of income to the website. For example, the minimum threshold for simplified Chinese publishing is generally 5000 copies.Assume the price is 20 yuan per book and 10% royalty.The royalties are roughly 1 yuan, and the website gets 3000 yuan.

If you are an agent for dozens of long-form serialized published novels and publish them episode by episode, you can easily earn hundreds of thousands or even millions in agency publishing commissions.

For the website, it is simply a huge profit...

Longlong’s investors simply don’t want the Longlong Forum business, but focus on physical publishing.

Jianjian followed the old path of Longlong. In its heyday, it did not pay attention to the VIP paid reading market. In the end, it gradually declined due to strategic choices.

However, Jingjing Reading Network has made a clear strategic choice, focusing on developing the VIP subscription market, supplemented by agency publishing.

If the author takes the initiative to contact the publisher, the website will not charge a publishing commission.Only the publishers that the website helps find will be charged agency publishing commissions.

Give the author the choice whether to publish the work himself or be an agent for the website.

This right to choose is actually very important.

Because most of the authors who can self-publish are well-known and do not want the website to be handed over again, it is normal for agency publishing to charge commissions.

A special feature of early pastry contracts is that it is written in the contract that the author can contact the publisher himself, and the website does not take a commission.The website is published by an agent, and the agency fee is charged.

This option did not attract much attention later.In the future, many authors will either focus on the upper limit of the electronic subscription market or on adaptation copyright.

But in 2004, the author was not focused on the adaptation of derivative products such as movies, games, and animations.

But publish!

The reason why the ordinary authors of Jianjian were lost to Cake is because they are not qualified to be published and expect VIP payment to receive royalties.

Many authors who were able to write in both simplified and traditional Chinese later left the country, mainly because they did not want to be forced to take a cut of the publishing fees.

Jianjian's rule is that publication must go through Jianjian's agent, but some top authors later fled Jianjian.

In the early days, the contracts of pastries were more generous than those of friends such as Jianjian. Therefore, they attracted a large number of high-level authors from the same industry to defect to them. This was one of the reasons why the early pastries were able to surpass Jianjian.

In general, the current management of Jingjing Reading Network has reached a consensus that it attaches great importance to the interests and true thoughts of the author group.If the author has his own channels, let the author do it. There is no need for the website to go through it again.

Only some authors with zero publishing records or authors who particularly trust the website are willing to hand over agency publishing to the website, and Jingjing Reading Network will help with agency publishing.

In the long run, the development of the electronic payment market itself and IP copyright are the big meat.

Well, now in the contract of Jingjing Reading Network, it has been mentioned that the priority for adaptation of audio, film and television, comics, animation, games, fans and other derivatives has been mentioned.

The website only wants priority. If the author wants to sell the adaptation rights, he can mention it to the website. The website will decide whether to exercise the right of priority based on the conditions.

Nowadays, many colleagues do not even include the priority of copyright adaptation in their contracts.

Jingjing Reading Network can write a priority mainly because it has made some defensive arrangements.

Mainly because they are afraid that other copyright dealers will buy the author's copyright at a low price without the website knowing anything about it.

In the early days... Zhao Han knew some copyright dealers who bought the copyrights of a book for thousands or tens of thousands, and bought a lot of film and television copyrights.

For example, Jiang Jiang's early film and television adaptation copyrights were sold at very low prices. Some of the best-selling film and television drama adaptation rights were sold for a few thousand yuan by the author.

Zhao Han would not allow this kind of adaptation of the most valuable IP to be sold cheaply on a large scale.
