Chapter 222: Deception and Concealment of Readers (I)
The waiting time was always long and boring, and it was naturally impossible for Su Yan and the three of them to stand on the balcony for hours and wait, so they exchanged their experience in writing a book list by the way.
Su Yan and Huang Xiaobing were curious about how he wrote the book list so quickly, the first batch of readers only started work in April, and it has only been eight months now, but the blue-green book list he has submitted has already exceeded twenty.
And Thorn is also curious about how they read books and are able to write so many high-quality book lists.
For Su Yan's curiosity, Thorn Sheng was naturally satisfied: "Well, I just read relatively quickly, and when I read, I quickly scanned it two or three times and began to conceive a book list, and I could write a book list in a few days." ”
When Su Yan and Huang Xiaobing heard it, it seemed that there was no technical content in it, if they didn't pursue excellence and didn't have so many things around them, they could actually read quickly.
It's just that in the past few months, they have encountered a lot of facts.
If it weren't for the good promotion of the book list they wrote at the beginning, maybe they wouldn't be able to support themselves as a guide to readers now, and they could only rely on copying books to meet their needs first.
And when Thorn Sheng asked how Su Yan and Huang Xiaobing could write so many high-quality book lists, Su Yan and Huang Xiaobing were a little embarrassed in their hearts.
On their own, where could they write a lot of high-quality book lists in a short period of time? But thinking of the Assassins, they didn't know that they would submit a lot of red book lists every month, so they didn't have to worry about being found out now.
It's just that at this moment, Su Yan began to think that there was an extra thorn and a thorn in the family, and when the pavilion master of Baiyi Pavilion came to deliver the book list in the future, what should they do so that they would not be discovered?
Or, if they were discovered, would the Thorns report them?
But now there is no time to think too much about Su Yan, Thorn Sheng is still sitting opposite and waiting for an answer, so he thinks about it and says, "Actually, if you want to write a few more good book lists, I think it is enough to do two things." ”
After saying this, Su Yan felt that this title could be used to make money from the media, but unfortunately there is no such thing as self-media in Wanyuan Continent now.
The Thorn asked curiously, "Which two points?"
In fact, this is also a question that Su Yan had discussed with Huang Xiaobing before, so he didn't think it was too difficult to say when he talked about this with Thorn Sheng.
When choosing a book, we should first determine whether there are enough people willing to practice this exercise according to the name and preface of the exercise, and when composing the book, we should consciously put the exercises with similar themes that can be combined in a book list.
"If you do these two steps well, even if the written book list is not favored by the censor for the time being, it can at least be set as the blue list of the second tier, and if the censor is optimistic, it is not surprising that the red list is set as the third tier. ”
After Su Yan finished saying the first point, he stopped, wanting to confirm that Thorn Sheng had anything to say, and Thorn Sheng did not live up to his wait, and said: "Well, it seems that this does make it better for me to make a random book list, so what is the second point?"
Su Yan smiled a little embarrassedly: "The second point is actually the key to expanding the audience of the book list and improving the censor's rating of the book list, but this point is sometimes a little lacking in morality." ”
As soon as he said this, Tingyan became even more curious.
"What's the lack of morality?"
Su Yan didn't let the assassin be confused for too long, and continued: "The second point is that when we write recommendations for exercises, we should use some more inflammatory and demagogic sentences, so as to increase the attractiveness of a certain exercise to readers of the book list, and this kind of book list that is more likely to bring sales to the exercises, the censor is naturally willing to give them a higher rating." ”
Thorn's eyes widened, a little incredulous.
He was silent for a moment and then asked, "Isn't that a deception?"
Su Yan shook his head when he heard this, and said: "When we look at the problem, we should consider the good side more, and we should not always be bound by the bad side."
It is true that if this method is known to some people, it is possible that they will deceive when writing the book list, exaggerate the effectiveness of the exercises he recommends, and preach how good they are, so that people can't help but want to buy them after reading them.
Of course, we have to criticize this kind of behavior.
"But, have you ever thought about the other side?"
Thorn Sheng thought about it and found that with his narrow vision, he couldn't see what the other side was, and he only knew now that Su Yan was also criticizing that kind of pure deception.
In line with the principle of asking questions if you don't understand, Thorn asked, "What does the other side look like?"
Su Yan spoke slowly, and explained to him while thinking: "Let's say we see a book of exercises and think that it will be of great benefit for people to practice this book for a long enough time, but the difficulty of cultivation will be very high, but we very much want to recommend this book to other people, because it can help them."
"But at this time, let's truthfully explain the difficulty of cultivating this exercise, is it really good?"
"This ......," Thorn Son hesitated for a moment, he thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, it will indeed make many people retreat after seeing the recommendation of the book list, and naturally they will not get a good recommendation effect." ”
Su Yan nodded and agreed with Thorn Yan's words.
Then he continued: "But if we say that it is difficult to practice this exercise, but we only mention it in passing it aside, and at the same time focus on the benefits of cultivating this exercise to a higher level, but we don't mention much about the uselessness or uselessness of the lower level, then will this increase the number of people who buy this exercise, and thus increase the number of people who practice this exercise?"
After hearing this, the Thorn Sheng said approvingly, "That's right, this can indeed increase the number of cultivators of this exercise...... Although they may still give up cultivation in the future because of the difficulty of cultivation, there will eventually be some people who want to have the benefits that they may get in the future, so they continue to spend time cultivating, and eventually there will always be people who will get the benefits of this exercise.
"Using this kind of recommendation writing, the sales of the exercise book will eventually increase significantly, and the number of people practicing this exercise will also increase to a certain extent, which really does what an exercise guide readers should do. ”
Su Yan nodded again, let more exercises be known to people, and then let more people practice exercises that might be useful to them, this is the mission of the exercises to attract readers, and it is also what Su Yan wants to do.
After Thorn Sheng finished speaking, Su Yan continued to remind, "Then think about it, what is the difference between the way I said and the kind of deception you mentioned before?"
Hearing this, Thorn Son fell into deep thought.
This time of contemplation consumed four or five minutes of his time.
