Chapter 36: Free is a Pit!
Monday.
Fu Yong came to Zhengqi Chinese and started his daily work.
As the editor-in-chief of a small website that has not been created for a long time, Fu Yongcai does not have many manuscripts to review every day, even if he adds the manuscripts on Saturdays and Sundays, there are not many, and the review is completed quickly.
casually coded the plot of the Xianxia novel "The Rise of the Wu Family" that he is currently serializing on the website, Fu Yong felt a little bored and wanted to touch the fish for a while and take a break.
So, he opened one of the hottest online forum software in the world and walked around.
Glancing at the hot posts, I was surprised to find that 9 out of 10 hot posts are currently discussing things about righteousness.
But it's normal to think about it, after all, his top boss Pei Weijiao has already found some channels to advertise and publish the news of opening a righteous station to get involved, coupled with their innovative free model and high manuscript fees, it is difficult for the author not to discuss.
However, Fu Yongcai found that it seems that on the online forum, his own website not only failed to win the support of the authors with high manuscript fees, but the atmosphere was a little not very good?
"Recently, I heard that there is a new station, called righteousness, the manuscript fee is said to be very high, 4000 a month can get 4000 soft sister coin manuscript fee, because this many people have been attracted away, a friend of mine is also, this issue of the article is also he asked me to do, this article we don't talk about the manuscript fee first, of course, the manuscript fee has already been pulled out by everyone and there is nothing to talk about.
So in this article, I'm going to talk about the terrible destruction intentions of this website that everyone ignores, "free online articles", seeing that some newcomer friends here may not know much about what the free online article is, I will explain it here first:
One, free is equal to piracy in disguise, eat the author's subscription money, don't talk to me about doubling the number of readers, advertising fees or something, these are unrealistic.
Second, free will greatly reduce the life of the web article, there are only two kinds of websites that can be engaged in this thing for free, one is a small website that has just been established like righteousness, and the other is a big website that does not lack all kinds of big IP like the starry sky, and some people may not understand what I mean by this nonsense, hehe, that is, once free is promoted to the online literature circle, the upper and lower layers of the pyramid will collapse directly.
Seeing this, you should also have a preliminary idea of what free is, and what kind of disaster this will bring to online articles.
Maybe there will be people who are dismissive of what I say, but of course what you think is your own business, and I don't care about it, and I don't want to care.
Okay, the foreplay is over, I'll give you a good science about the good and bad of the free model:
The advantage of free online articles is that they can be placed through multiple channels, adding a lot of popularity to the work, and using it to hype the IP and sell it at a high price.
The disadvantage is that the online article is likely to become more and more watery under the free mode, and the number of good works is reduced, and the author wants to attract iron fans, it will become more difficult to gather Godhead, and the fee will produce fans, and the free will not, of course, this also depends on how the website works, if it works well, it is not impossible to set off a godwind, but the probability is very low.
There is also a free model, where the site will have a greater chance of opaque authors for additional ad revenue than the paid model.
In the end, I strongly disagree with the matter of free, isn't it good to maintain the status quo of the online literature circle, why change it?"
