Rebirth, Starting from 2005

On January 5th, it was time to settle the manuscript fee again.

In December, Chen Li updated more than 700,000 words, which was more than the number of words updated in the previous two months.

Subscriptions have taken it to the next level.

Each list still maintains the first place.

Under Chen Li's perverted explosive support, "Fights Break Sphere" has achieved achievements far beyond this era, allowing more people to see the infinite possibilities of online literature.

It has attracted a large number of readers to this website, and also attracted a large number of authors to this website.

Potato stew with elbows has become recognized as the top master of online writing.

Even if he has only been in the industry for half a year.

This achievement is related to the creativity provided by Yan Xin, but it is also inseparable from Chen Li's personal efforts.

He was out of the circle twice because of the super high update volume and super high manuscript fee, which brought a huge influence in the online world, attracted more people to pay attention to the online article, and attracted a lot of traffic to the website , to open the flow channel.

Without so much traffic, in 2005, it was absolutely impossible to have that kind of achievement.

Even in another two years, they will not be able to achieve such dazzling results.

This guy updates more than 20,000 words every day, and there are more and more manuscripts, and now there are more than 30 chapters in the manuscripts.

This is what Yan Xin admires very much.

This month's manuscript fee settlement, the pre-tax income has exceeded 300,000.

After tax, it can also look like 270,000 to 80,000.

The manuscript fee is higher month by month.

When the manuscript fee came out in the third month, the two of them were certainly happy to see that number, but they were no longer as excited as they were when they saw that number in the previous two months.

They have calculated it themselves. According to the settlement standard of the previous two months, the calculated figure is not much different from this one. They have already prepared for it, and naturally there will be no such surprises.

Another point is that the two of them are no longer the poor people who used to live on a salary of several hundred yuan, and the impact of such wealth on them is not as great as before.

This month, the website is going to make a new attempt, which is to add a tipping function to novels.

Readers can tip their favorite novels, up to 1,000 yuan at a time, which is 100,000 coins.

In the original time and space, this function was not launched until a few years later.

Now, at the very beginning of 2006, Yan Xin proposed this to a boss of the website with Chen Li's QQ account.

Potato stew with elbows is already the top stream on the website, and it is quite normal for Chen Li to have the QQ account of the person in charge of the website.

Yan Xin posted on his account and put forward a suggestion to enable the reward function, saying that this can mobilize the enthusiasm of authors to create, and can also deepen readers' sense of participation, so that readers can support their favorite authors more vigorously.

This made the website very interested and chatted with him.

There is no technical difficulty in enabling this function, and it can also allow the website to charge a sum of money. Of course, the website thinks this is a good idea.

In the following chat, Yan Xin also proposed how many monthly tickets can be automatically given when the reward reaches a certain amount.

For example, if there is no reward of 5,000 coins or 10,000 coins, a monthly pass will be given.

The boss of the website asked this sentence: "Tips can bring monthly tickets. Are you not afraid that other authors have rich readers who will take away your monthly tickets first by means of large rewards?"

"Fights Break Sphere" is currently the top novel on the website, and its average order is more than double that of the second place.

Speaking of readers, this novel has the most readers.

But when it comes to loyal readers and the wealth and strength of readers, the book "Fights Break Sphere" really doesn't have an advantage.

After all, most of the readers of this book are students.

Stewed Potatoes with Elbows is just an account that has been registered for less than half a year, and its background is not that strong.

Now their monthly tickets are number one because the book has been updated a lot, and just reading the monthly tickets generated by this novel is enough for them to continue to be number one.

But if the reward can also explode monthly tickets, whoever gets the support of a rich reader, or a copyright operator, can use a large reward to make "Fights Break the Sphere" from the first position. push down.

The monthly ticket list is a very authoritative list with strong credibility and huge traffic.

Rewards can compete for the list, and it can definitely make the competition for the list more intense.

In this case, "Fights Break Sphere" may not be able to keep the first place.

Therefore, this proposal made the website boss feel a little surprised—it is in the interests of the website, but it does not seem to be in the interests of the book "Fights Break Sphere".

That's why I asked this question.

Yan Xin's answer surprised the other party:

"I'm not afraid that someone will push me down from the number one position on the monthly ticket list. I'm just afraid that I will always be on the top of this monthly ticket list, so that there will be no competition at all, and my readers will slack off. Now their enthusiasm for voting is not strong. I need a competitor to push them. I need a competitor to push me."

Being first or not is really not that important to him.

From the first hour of each month, it has occupied the first place in the monthly ticket list, and has been far ahead of other novels. This is really not a good thing.

In his mind, the best model is that a book surpasses "Fights Break Sphere" through a large amount of rewards, and then arouses the competitiveness of "Fights Break Sphere" readers, and then surpasses the other party with a large amount of rewards. go.

In this way, you come and go, just like a combine harvester, and the efficiency of harvesting leeks will be faster.

This is the mode of playing PK live broadcast in later generations.

There have been countless examples proving that this mode is the most effective, and the easiest way to get a small amount of money out of the audience's pockets.

After some careful research, the website finally made a decision that it will launch the function of rewarding novels this month, and it will be launched on the first day of the new year.

At that time, there will be a wave of double monthly tickets for the Spring Festival to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.

In other words, it is to make the competition on the monthly ticket list full of suspense again.

Chen Li was deeply disturbed by Yan Xin's actions.

He asked Yan Xin: "Readers have already supported us by paying to subscribe to our novels. Isn't it too unkind to come up with a reward model and take their money?"

Yan Xin criticized him:

"You are a literary and art worker, don't fall into the eyes of money, what you see is money. Reward, is this a matter of money? This is the reader's love for the book you created! Reward, what does this mean? It means that he likes your novel very much. As an author, what position do you have to prevent a reader from expressing his love for your book?"

Chen Li thought about it seriously for a while, and felt that an author really had no position to prevent a reader from expressing his love for this book.

So he said, "Well, you are right."
