Chapter 159: Inspiration (3rd Update)

As the signing session went on, more and more readers poured into Wenhua Bookstore, and Lin Weidong's autograph lasted from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

After the end, Lin Weidong took a photo with dozens of super die-hard fans, which was a relief.

In the end, 652 copies were sold, of which 380 were recorded after 4 p.m.

After the signing meeting, Lin Weidong was rubbing his sore wrist, and Du Yuhang came over to him and said: "Lonely City, I think this time it may be that the publicity work of our publishing house is not in place, which causes your new book to not sell well." ”

Lin Weidong asked suspiciously, "Why do you say that?"

Du Yuhang said: "I found that many readers who participated in the signing later only found out that you had released a new book today. ”

"I see, I see a lot of readers coming in after five o'clock. Lin Weidong nodded, and he also felt that this was the case.

Du Yuhang then asked: "Lonely City, can you make a post on the banyan tree?"

Lin Weidong was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Do you want me to go under the banyan tree to promote the new book?"

Du Yuhang nodded and said: "Yes, you have a large number of readers, all under the banyan tree, you are a writer who became famous under the banyan tree, and that is your real home field." ”

Lin Weidong didn't think about it, so he refused: "No, I can't agree to this request." ”

Without waiting for Du Yuhang to answer, Lin Weidong continued: "I skipped under the banyan tree this time and cooperated directly with your publishing house, and I don't want to give the banyan tree a child, how can I still go under the banyan tree to do publicity? Isn't this disgusting?"

Hearing Lin Weidong's answer, Du Yuhang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Okay, I can understand your difficulties, and I can't help it." ”

In fact, Lin Weidong is also very embarrassed, if only there was a blog or Weibo on the Internet now, he only needs to post a news, and those readers who follow him will soon know that they have posted a new book.

However, the current Internet, whether at home or abroad, is still dominated by BBS forums, and does not have the conditions to start microblogs and blogs.

Just when Lin Weidong was worried and troubled, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly said: "There is! I know how to promote this new book!"

Du Yuhang was very surprised, and looked at Lin Weidong with an expectant face: "Is it?

Lin Weidong smiled and asked with interest, "Yuhang, have you heard of hao123?"

Du Yuhang thought about it and was uncertain: "Is it ...... What are the web addresses we usually use on our computers?"

Lin Weidong nodded: "Yes, it's that navigation website." ”

Du Yuhang asked incredulously, "You mean that you want to advertise on that website, is this useful?"

To be honest, a veteran publishing editor like Du Yuhang mainly believes in paper and TV media, and basically doesn't believe in Internet media, feeling that there are two worlds from reality.

Lin Weidong smiled and asked, "If you don't give it a try, how will you know if it will work?"

After Du Yuhang thought for a moment, Fang opened his mouth and said: "Lonely City, if you have any requirements, just mention it, how do you want us to cooperate with you, and how much do you want our publishing house to spend on advertising? As long as it is within the scope of my ability, I will definitely help you fight for it with our boss." ”

Seeing Du Yuhang so refreshing, Lin Weidong smiled and waved his hand: "Don't bother Yuhang, I'll handle it myself, I hope it will be effective then." ”

Du Yuhang hurriedly said: "Gucheng, you don't have to be polite to us, we are partners, this is what we should do." ”

Lin Weidong stood up, patted Du Yuhang's shoulder, and said: Okay, Yuhang, you don't have to say any more, let's go eat, I've been hungry for a long time after a busy afternoon. ”

Seeing that Lin Weidong had made up his mind, Du Yuhang didn't say anything more, so he took the staff and went to a nearby restaurant to eat together.

In the following five days, Lin Weidong, accompanied by Du Yuhang and the staff of the publishing house, arrived in several cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang one after another and held seven signing sessions.

Although not every signing meeting can be held, and not every signing meeting will have hundreds of readers, at least the efforts of Lin Weidong and the publishing house team have also played a promotional role in the book "Eighteen-year-old Sky" to a certain extent.

In just a few days, Lin Weidong signed and sold nearly 5,000 books in total at these 8 signing sessions.

At the same time, the 8 signing interactions that Lin Weidong participated in also played a great role in promoting the book "Eighteen-year-old Sky" in these cities, and also let more readers know about Lin Weidong's new book.

On the night of his return to Shanghai, Lin Weidong had a simple meal outside and rushed back to Anne's new home.

After entering the house, Lin Weidong asked Annie straight to the point: "Sister Annie, do you want your computer tonight?

Anne nodded, "Use it if you want, I don't have anything to do." ”

"Thanks, then I'll use it first. After Lin Weidong finished speaking, he went directly to Annie's room and turned on her computer.

"Lonely City, what are you going to do with my computer, send emails?" Anne asked curiously.

"No, I'll get something online, you're busy with yours, I'll talk to you when I'm done. Lin Weidong said absentmindedly.

At this time, Anne wore a big T-shirt and a short skirt, exposed half of her thighs, and sat next to Lin Weidong.

After hearing Lin Weidong's words, Anne was embarrassed to disturb him beside her, so she consciously stood up and went to the living room to pour a glass of water.

Normally, Anne went to bed after eleven o'clock, but it was only eight o'clock that night, and Anne said that she was sleepy and had to wash and sleep.

Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, Lin Weidong understood in his heart that Anne was hinting to him that it was time to pay the rent.

However, Lin Weidong was busy now, and he was not in the mood to talk to her, so he sat in front of the computer intently, tinkering with the navigation website hao123.

Lin Weidong thought so in his heart, he wanted to promote the new book "Eighteen-year-old Sky" on the homepage of hao123.

But Lin Weidong operated for a while, only to find that things were not as simple as he imagined.

Because hao123 is classified on the homepage,All kinds of large and small websites,There is no special section for promotion。

Lin Weidong pondered whether he should make a special section similar to Weibo hot search to promote domestic and foreign news.

Of course, Lin Weidong knew very well in his heart that with his insignificant ability alone, no matter how many ideas he had, it would be useless to accomplish such a feat.

The reason why Lin Weidong was able to create hao123 is also because this website does not require any technical content at all.

Moreover, Lin Weidong doesn't want to destroy hao123's concise and clean page, but if you want to make a small section dedicated to advertising, you can still try it.

Just as Lin Weidong was meditating, Anne came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel after taking a shower, and said to Lin Weidong: "Lonely City, you can wash and go to bed early after you are busy", after speaking, she took off her shoes and climbed into bed.

Lin Weidong sighed helplessly, he knew in his heart that Anne couldn't wait, so she was in a hurry to urge him to take a bath.
