Chapter 180: The Future of Online Writing
"Only when people's level is bad can we show that our level is high. Li Feng whispered, "Originally, Li Tianlong wanted to establish his position as the leader of the alliance through this conference, so that all his peers would respect Tianlong Literature Network as the industry boss and follow him." This time, such a big pomp was put on for us to see. But I didn't expect his level to be really average, if you want to be the leader of this alliance, it is estimated that everyone may not be convinced. ”
"It's just that his virtue is really unpleasant, especially when it comes to our small and medium-sized literary websites, he always has a condescending posture, as if we are under his leadership. Xu Zhengxuan pouted and continued to complain, "Big cousin, don't forget to put your mouth cannon in a while and kill him." ”
The current literary websites, except for Tianlong Literature Network, which has obtained five million financing and suddenly become wealthy, other literary websites are actually very poor, because they cannot find a suitable profit model, most of these websites still rely on hanging advertisements to obtain advertising costs, barely maintaining the daily operation of the website.
The poor brothers are thinking about a problem, that is, how to make money on literary websites.
Tianlong Literature Network has walked out of the road of financing, and there is no financial pressure for the time being, but other literary websites do not have such a good life, this time seeing Li Tianlong's huge pomp, there are those who are envious, and there are those who show disdain, and everyone's mentality is actually very complicated.
For many online literature authors in the audience, this online literature conference also indicates a new opportunity, and the online literature model that was built before is purely condensed by hobbies, seems to be coming to an end little by little.
How to go on the road of commercialization of online literature is related to the vital interests of every online writer here, so everyone is also very interested in this conference and wants to know what the platform builders in this industry think.
Li Tianlong grasped this common concern, and wanted to use Tianlong Literature Network to lead the next trend of online literature business, and then establish his position as the originator of commercialization in this industry.
Therefore, throughout the keynote speech, Li Tianlong was in a high-minded and pointing tone, which made most of his literary website peers in the audience very uncomfortable.
At the end of Li Tianlong's keynote speech, Yang Zhiqiang took the stage as a representative of the online article author and made a brief speech.
Although Yang Zhiqiang is not very famous at the moment, he already has a masterpiece "Xingyun Zhi", which is outstanding among online writers.
The content of the morning meeting was lackluster, and in the afternoon discussion session, everyone present was in high spirits.
"Dear colleagues, the purpose of this online literature conference is to discuss the future of online literature with you. An industry can not go far by relying on ideals and passion, and it is necessary to find a reasonable commercialization model and form a perfect industry standard, so as to make the entire industry enter a virtuous circle. Zhou Wenyang, vice president of Tianlong Literature Network, who was the moderator of the afternoon discussion session, said, "So the topic we discussed in the afternoon is the profitability analysis and business model prediction of online literature." I hope that everyone will speak freely and contribute wisdom to the future of the online literature industry. ”
Everyone here looks at me, I look at you, they are all staring at each other, and no one seems to want to pick their heads.
This topic was actually learned by the guests on the day of registration, so everyone was almost unprepared, only Li Tianlong was fully prepared.
This is also a little trick played by Li Tianlong, as long as the people here don't have any ideas, he can dominate the whole topic, especially the representatives of small and medium-sized literary websites who came to the conference this time, most of them are very young, and they don't have a deep understanding of this industry, Li Tianlong is already relatively old in the industry.
From the birth of online literature to the present, it has gone through three or four years, and the entire industry is in the stage of pioneering and exploring, and the uncertainty ahead is actually very large, at this time, any major decision may even shape the future of the entire industry.
In other words, now is the peak period for the entire industry.
Li Tianlong even plans to issue a "Huaxia Online Literature Industry Convention" after the conference, completely establishing his dominance in the entire industry.
Now, this "Huaxia Online Literature Industry Convention" is already in Li Tianlong's briefcase, waiting to be finally taken out and signed by other online literature practitioners present, which will become the final result of this online literature conference.
Thinking of this, Li Tianlong couldn't hold back and took the lead in speaking: "Everyone, then I'll throw bricks and lead the way and make a speech first." It has taken more than a year from the rise of domestic online literature on BBS forums to the emergence of literary websites. At present, literary websites have been recognized by the industry as a mainstream mode of carrying online literature. However, if the literary website wants to survive, it must be profitable, and how to go in the future of our online literature, how to establish a profit model for authors and website platforms, so that the entire industry can develop towards a benign track, has become a problem that we have to face. ”
"Yes, this is a very important issue, and we can say that we have reached a crossroads where we have to make a choice. Zhou Wenyang took over Li Tianlong's topic, and the two of them had been rehearsed before, "Everyone knows that at present, online literature is still free, and the main profit channel of literary websites is to attract advertisements with their own traffic and obtain corresponding advertising revenue." However, this model has a bottleneck, and how to explore the economic benefits of the website itself has become a topic facing all our literary websites. ”
Everyone in the venue whispered to each other, this issue is indeed very important, and it is related to the life and death of the future website.
For the online writers in the audience, how to make profits through online creation, and even become professional online writers, is also related to their future life path, so this topic has attracted the attention of everyone here.
"My point is that online literature must stick to the free model for a long time. Li Tianlong made his position clear, and this is also a bowl of poisonous chicken soup that he will serve at this meeting, "Openness, inclusiveness, win-win, and sharing are the concepts of the Internet economy, so I think that the charging model will not work on the Internet, and only through free can the entire online literature market become bigger and stronger." ”
