Chapter 287: The First Explosion of the New Year
"Damn, why do so many people not sleep in the middle of the night and slow down the website!"
Zhang Chu couldn't help but exclaim, he originally thought that at this point in the wee hours of the morning, it was estimated that few readers would come to buy.
But don't ghost stories be read in the middle of the night?
This time looks a little more sensational!
Seeing the slow Amazon product page, Zhang Chu refreshed it again and then gave up, anyway, he didn't need to really buy and download, but don't drag down the speed of real readers.
For a book, the publication circulation is the best way to test the quality, if the sales volume is not good, then the number of Internet clicks, Weibo topics, and ghost stories is equal to zero!
Although there are often works that will become popular after a year or N years, after all, it is a matter of the future, who can say for sure.
Every year and every month, a large number of books are printed and published, but there are not many that can really be sold, and many works cannot even sell one-tenth of the first printing, so they can only be given away by the author as a souvenir.
Whether "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is virtual red or real red depends on this experience!
……
Almost all the staff of Menglong Culture Media are working overtime, and they shoulder heavy responsibilities, some are responsible for connecting data, content and activities with the origin Chinese network, some are responsible for online publicity, and are responsible for transferring goods and coordinating with publishing houses and printing companies.
Everyone is holding back their energy to get off to a real start, and it seems to be quite good at the moment.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is just eating a takeaway, Zhou Kang is so anxious that small blisters appear at the corners of his mouth, and the IP value of this "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is valued at hundreds of millions.
The sales and popularity of the work are the cornerstones of creating IP, if the foundation is not stable, then the high-rise building will only crumble.
"Do you have any data feedback now?" Zhou Kang asked.
Another colleague replied: "Not yet, many netizens are reporting that the client crashes and the payment channel is stuck, and I am contacting them to get them back to normal as soon as possible." ”
Zhou Kang knew that he was in a hurry, it was only five minutes in the morning, and it was estimated that many people had just finished counting, and those who could buy or download at this time were definitely hardcore fans!
"Brother Zhou! The origin Chinese network sent the latest news, at present, all the content of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: Exquisite Ancient City" has been uploaded, and they will change from a single chapter subscription fee to an e-book full paid reading. The number of people who have paid has exceeded 2,100 so far!"
On the origin Chinese website, the model of a thousand words and a few origin coins is generally used to sell works, and the charges are charged according to the number of words in each chapter, and different VIP levels have different discounts.
However, there is another type of work that is not this charging model, but the whole book payment like Amazon, Douban Reading, and Reading More, such as 9.99 yuan, 12.99 yuan, and the like.
The former category is usually online, and the latter category is mostly electronic versions of physical books.
After the successful transformation of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" into this model, the price is 6.00 yuan, which is a reasonable price for a film, after all, the whole book is only 240,000 words!
2,100 people paid, which is more than the money earned by 2,100 people subscribing to the first chapter, and this part of the money originated Chinese network to be shared with Zhang Chu according to the contract.
Two thousand copies were sold in a few minutes, and no one knows how many numbers will become after "Ghost Blows the Lantern" becomes popular on the Internet!
……
Chen Yu felt that his hands were about to cramp, this is not killing any special products, no matter how much an e-book is sold, it will not be out of stock, why would everyone squeeze into it in one go?
He completely forgot that he was one of them, and he had already selected the works and was ready to pay, but the page where he could enter the password could not be refreshed.
"Where did the ghost blow the lamp come from, so many readers, it's terrible!"
Chen Yu said to himself, he thought that the book he was reading was relatively niche, after all, it was a ghost and a tomb robbery expedition, and it didn't look like the type that the public liked.
Now he was a little unhappy, as if something he had treasured for a long time had been discovered by someone else.
If you can't jump to the page, you can't pay, and if you can't pay, you can't see the content behind.
Chen Yu had no choice but to wait, he opened his Weibo and wanted to see if there was any way on the side of Zhang Chu or Menglong Culture Media.
I deliberately stayed up late for so long, but I didn't want to experience network congestion and paralysis!
Who knew that Chen Yu had just refreshed Weibo and saw the good news released by Menglong Culture Media.
"Congratulations to the pre-sale of the paperback version of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" reached 361,400 copies, and the hardcover edition pre-sold 45,100 copies, both of which set the highest pre-sale record in Zhang Chu's personal career!"
"#数据快报#张楚新作 "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was launched in the early morning, and the sales of the whole network exceeded 10,000 within 1 minute, and the sales of physical books and e-books exceeded 50,000 in 11 minutes!"
""Ghost Blows the Lamp" topped Amazon's new book list, which took 7 minutes!"
"The official store of Tmall of Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House has received more than 2,000 orders and sold a total of 3,100 books since the early morning when the products were on the shelves. ”
"Origin Chinese Network Sales Express, "Ghost Blowing Lantern Essence Ancient City" has been subscribed by 3,800 people. ”
Chen Yu was dazzled by one good news after another, didn't everyone sleep at night, waiting for the release of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"?
These numbers seem to be too staggering, selling tens of thousands of copies in a few minutes, and I don't even have a chance to spend money.
There are also many netizens who stay up late at the turn of the New Year's Eve, so when these news came out, netizens were all excited to jump their feet!
"It means that I bought a hardcover physical book under an order on Dangdang.com, and I also bought an e-book just to be able to read it now while lying in the quilt!"
"I wiped, just played a game, I didn't expect to miss the early morning, hurry up to buy books. ”
"Isn't it?
"If I have time to send these data, I might as well make the website and the client better, so that I don't have any money to spend!"
"The power of Captain Jin is really great, I really thought that there were not many people reading this book. ”
"Congratulations to Zhang Chu, how much money do you have to make here!"
The voices of admiration are endless, and so are those in the publishing industry.
The fact that 2018 started with such a hot new book release bodes well for the entire publishing world!
There should be no suspense about the first book sales champion of the new year at this time, and the multi-pronged publicity model of "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has indeed taught a lesson to industry insiders.
Real marketing should be like this, based on ultra-high quality, with various channels, very quickly start the name of the ghost blowing the lamp.
Boom!
The first explosion of the new year was born!
