Reborn since 2005

Chapter 80 The reward function is available ahead of schedule

January 5th is the day for payment of royalties.

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

Subscription has been taken to the next level.

It still maintains its first place on every list.

Thanks to Chen Li's abnormal explosive persistence, "Fights Break the Sphere" has achieved results far beyond this era, allowing more people to see the infinite possibilities of online literature.

It attracts a large number of readers to this website and also attracts a large number of authors to this website.

Elbow Stewed with Potatoes has become recognized as a top online writer.

Even though 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.

With his super-high update volume and super-high royalties, he got out of the industry twice and had a huge impact in the online world, attracting more people to pay attention to online articles and attracting a lot of traffic to the website.

, the traffic channel is opened.

Without that much traffic, it would have been absolutely impossible to have such results in 2005.

Even if it takes another two years, I won't be able to have such dazzling results.

This guy keeps the number of words updated every day at more than 20,000, and keeps more and more manuscripts. Now he has more than 30 chapters.

This is also something that Yan Xin admires very much.

This month's royalties settlement, pre-tax income has exceeded 300,000.

After tax, it can be as much as 2.78 million.

Author fees are getting higher month by month.

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

They had made their own calculations. According to the settlement standards of the previous two months, the calculated figures were not much different from this. They had already been mentally prepared, and naturally there were 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 planning to make a new attempt, which is to add a reward function to novels.

Readers can reward novels they like, with a maximum reward of 1,000 yuan at a time, which is a starting point of 100,000 coins.

In the original time and space, this feature would not be launched until several years later.

Now in 2006, we had to do this from the beginning. It was Yan Xin who used Chen Li’s QQ account to propose it to a big boss on the website.

Elbow Stewed with Potatoes is already a top hit on the website, and Chen Li has the QQ account of the person in charge of the website, so that is perfectly normal.

Yan Xin took to his account and suggested opening a tipping function, saying that it could mobilize the enthusiasm of authors for creation, and also deepen readers' sense of participation, allowing readers to support their favorite authors more vigorously.

This made the website very interested and we started chatting with him.

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

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

For example, if the reward is not 5,000 coins or 10,000 coins, a monthly pass will be given as a gift.

The website boss asked this: "Rewards can bring monthly tickets. Aren't you afraid that other authors have very wealthy readers and use large rewards to take away your monthly tickets?"

"Fight to Break the Sphere" is currently the top-rated novel on the website, and its average subscription is more than double that of the second-placed novel.

In terms of readers, this novel has the most readers.

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

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

Elbow and Potato Stew is just an account that has only been registered for less than half a year, and the background is not that strong.

They currently occupy the first place in monthly votes because the volume of updates to this book is large enough, and the monthly votes generated by just reading this novel are enough for them to continue to hold the first place.

But if rewards can also generate monthly tickets, whichever master gets the support of a rich reader or a copyright operator can push "Fights Break the Sphere" from the first position through large rewards.

Push it down.

The Qidian monthly vote list is a very authoritative list, with strong credibility and huge traffic.

Rewards can compete for rankings, which will definitely make the competition on the rankings more intense.

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

Therefore, this proposal surprised the website boss - it was in the interests of the website, but it didn't seem to be in the interest of the book "Fights Break the 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 top spot on the monthly voting list. I'm just afraid that I will always be at the top of the monthly voting list. In this way, there will be no competition at all, and my readers will slack off. Now they are not very motivated to vote.

I need a competitor to push them. I need a competitor to push me."

Whether you are first or not is really not that important in his eyes.

From the first hour of every 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 to have a book surpass "Fights Break the Sky" through large rewards, and then arouse the competitiveness of the readers of "Fights Break the Sky", and then use large rewards to surpass the other book.

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 model for live PK in later generations.

Countless examples have proven that this model is the most effective and the easiest to take out a small amount of money from the audience's pockets.

After some detailed discussions, the website finally made the decision to launch the novel reward function this month and launch it on the first day of the new year.

At that time, we will also offer double monthly passes during the Spring Festival to mobilize everyone’s enthusiasm.

In other words, it makes the competition for the monthly vote list full of suspense again.

Yan Xin's actions made Chen Li deeply uneasy.

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

Yan Xin criticized him:

"As a literary and artistic worker, don't fall into the eyes of money. All you see is money. Rewards, is this a matter of money? This is the reader's love for the book you created! In addition to subscribing, he also

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 seriously for a while and felt that he, as an author, really had no position to prevent a reader from expressing his love for this book.

So he said: "Okay, what you said makes sense."

At 12 noon tomorrow, the book will be put on VIP shelves.

After it is put on the shelves, it will be updated about five chapters a day. I hope everyone will support genuine reading.
