As an online writer who has been an "old bookworm" for ten years and a "full-time street bully" for five years, I think I am slightly qualified to answer this good question.
This is a screenshot of my brother's manuscript fee in April.
In the "net text" line, "28 stratification" is serious. For example, 17k's channel "Meng Gongzi" burst, and the starting point of "Future Soaring" of the house pig was smashed by iron powder for three billion yuan (one million RMB).
However, many Meng Xin, who just got started, got stuck in the threshold of signing a contract and had no choice but to generate electricity for love. They were even cut one after another by the "unscrupulous studio" in the name of selling classes or accepting apprentices.
It's a bit boastful to say that my brother's income is among the best in the industry.
Eat and eat by code words; I also went on a blind date, met a gentle and virtuous girlfriend, who was a bit overbearing by accident and liked to gird her waist and scold:
"Come and cook!"
"Today I'm going to try shredded pork with green pepper fish head. Chef Chen is not waiting! "
……
Hey hey!
I won't feed you dog food ~
Our personal experience will give readers some reference!
First of all, for many friends put forward "brother! Is there any "money way" in this net? Is it too late to enter the business now? "
The younger brother's answer is "writing online articles is a shortcut to get rich quickly with extremely low threshold, and it is one of the good sideline businesses".
I remember, it was 2009!
I am a freshman, and my classmate Xin Ge rented back three "big guys" from a street stall at a huge sum of money 1 yuan, and stuffed them under the table in class, staring at them.
At that time, his eyes were shining, full of yearning for "ice triplets" and the pleasure of "killing villains".
Even the head teacher peeping in the corner shook his head and sighed, "That guy is blocking my future, but my teacher!" "
Of course, as a friend, I also got the qualification to enjoy staying up late. Now, I really want to slap both of us. This article is as deep as the sea ~ from now on, the certificate is a passerby! )
Because my brother was born in a remote mountain village, and the senior high school entrance examination was all by luck, he was admitted to a key high school in the county. Looking at the well-dressed classmates and teachers, I buried my head in my crotch in shame.
In a word, it is "inferiority complex"!
Therefore, reading with the light on at night is out of control at once, and it is a very enjoyable thing to stay up late for a week to browse "big books".
In particular, the satisfaction of experiencing the protagonist's "wealth" and the cool feeling of pretending to be forced made me addicted at once.
After all, the novel gives vent to my reality mediocrity and elusive secular desires.
Now, I suddenly realize that online writing is to provide readers with a fantastic story door, and its essence is "cool writing".
No wonder today's "Dragon King with a crooked mouth" is so hot? Ah ~
After all, most of us are the characters bullied by our wives and bosses in reality. Who doesn't fantasize about the day when they attack and hit their faces ~ ~
Especially after pretending to be forced, I looked down on my relatives and friends and "ex-girlfriend" and wondered, "What amazing identity is he?"
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Gouwen exploded!
I want to ask, the protagonist in "Prison" and "Novice Village" is just a behind-the-scenes comparison. Just think about it!
Get to the point!
At that time, a series of fantastic masterpieces gave birth to the seeds of code words for my brother, but because of academic reasons, it was delayed.
Finally, I started typing my first fantasy novel on 14, and published it on 17k novel online with the recommendation of the editor.
But I didn't have a complete story frame at that time, so I was rejected.
So, I was invited to their youth training camp (which is also being run now) and learned a lot.
For example, if a novice chooses a theme before opening a book, it is suggested to go to the bestseller list, the brain hole text to the flying list, the old white text to the starting point, the wireless wind to the tomato, the palm reading and so on.
Warm reminder: Great God's works can't be referenced, because they have their own traffic, and the goal is to operate copyright.
One more thing, try to choose less than 500,000 words, because a book with a million words was the wind a few months ago, and now it is probably too late to follow.
Of course, the instructors also learned about the categories of signing, full attendance, buyout and guarantee.
17 full attendance
Full attendance:
? Punch in 4,000 words a month (you can take a day off), and you can take 600 yuan (tomato novel), and the subscription is divided into 3/7.
Buy out: How much is your book 1000 words? I will buy it for you at a price.
Promise: Dude, I'm very optimistic about your book, Bian Xiao ~ I'll give you a thousand words first. If the subscription income exceeds your guaranteed amount, I will deduct it and give it to you, which can guarantee you and won't cheat you.
After three years of hard work, my brother signed a buyout of Wandu Novel Network for 25 yuan on 17, and gritted his teeth full-time.
But the data is not good, so we need to delete 200,000 words!
After editing and explaining, I realized: guaranteed/buyout, the website is prepaid, which has costs.
If you don't complete the first show test and the rate of return of the website is not guaranteed, then your book can only be a eunuch. Here's a friend to ask: how do you know if the data is good or bad? I don't understand, but I'm still a little scared.
In the past few years, I think the best way is to ask your editor directly and ask him directly.
Of course, if your book is less than100000 words, don't worry!
According to the tomato editor, the quantity hasn't arrived yet, so there's no need to panic about the data difference. The editor will let you finish it directly.
Over the years, I have mixed with the major signing authors, met many talented writers, sealed a book, and saw through the gloomy exit of a group of old writers.
In this business, you are really talented. For example, Li Hu, the author of the original book Go Against Heaven, became the Twelve Kings at the age of 19 with the book Plane of Warcraft.
But more writers, one after another, can stand their ground.
After all, "talent can make you shine, but I believe that diligence can also."
I hope you have a net dream, stand firm, one step at a time? See you at the top.
