Chapter 25 The webtoon platform is launched
Xia Ziyu's words are uploaded in another place, naturally pikapika comics network, and this weekend, pikapika comics are officially launched.
At the same time, the website user registration channel was officially opened today, but since his website did not advertise anywhere, the only people who knew about it were fans of the 'Round-faced Divine Cult' chat group.
And on the first day of the site's launch, only a small number of fans signed up for accounts on the site, such as Extraordinary and Manni Lee, who both reverted to their nicknames on the tournament.com.
Xia Ziyu looked at the background data, twelve hours before the first day of the station, a total of more than 700 registrations, the website's recharge channel has been opened, but there are less than 100 users who recharge money in the early stage.
The start of Pikapika comics can be described as quiet, and no one can say how it can develop in the future, but Xia Ziyu knows that there are still many excellent comics in the system, and he will definitely be able to rely on the quality of his works to make the website famous.
Pikapika comic network refers to the model of comics on the Chinese website, and has designed some small props on the website to sign in daily tasks and receive flowers, which can be used to vote for favorite comics, which are free, and you can intuitively see how much fans like the work.
In addition, there is a monetary tip, which requires users to top up money, one Asian dollar is equal to one hundred pickup coins.
He also set up a membership hierarchy for this.
Spend more than 1,000 Asian dollars to upgrade to a premium member, subscribe to comics can get a 20% discount, spend more than 100 yuan every month, get a subscription monthly pass in the same month, and give a guaranteed monthly pass the next month.
Spend more than 5,000 Asian dollars to upgrade platinum members, subscribe to comics can get a 7% discount, spend more than 100 yuan every month, get a subscription monthly pass in the same month, and give two guaranteed monthly passes in the next month.
Spend more than 10,000 Asian dollars to upgrade to a distinguished member, subscribe to the comic can get a 6% discount, spend more than 100 yuan every month, give two chapters of the subscription monthly pass in the same month, and give three guaranteed monthly passes in the next month.
The subscription price of comics is five cents per ten pages of content, calculated according to one word and twenty pages, and the subscription price of one word is one dollar, that is, one hundred points of pickup coins, if it is a premium member, it needs eighty points of pickup coins, platinum, elite members, and so on.
Before the site opened,Xia Ziyu has uploaded the magical girl Madoka to the pikapika comics,Although there are not many users who reward on the first day,But the flowers sent by signing in,Magical girl Madoka has received thousands。
In the three days since the opening of the pikapika station, the number of registered members has exceeded 1,000, but except for a large number of registrations on the first day, the number of registered members in the next two days has been on a downward trend, and 180 members have recharged, and a total of 43 rewards have been obtained.
Among them, the user with the highest reward amount is 'Xiao Meiyan', rewarding 100,000 points of pickup coins, directly promoted to a senior member, and at the same time becoming the first cute master of the magical girl Madoka, it seems that this little cute master has a very good family background in reality.
Xiao Meiyan also became the first among the fans of the magical girl Madoka, and finally confirmed the number one in this regard.
At the same time, fans give a reward to a certain comic, and they will also get the corresponding fan value, and the fan value has the corresponding fan title, Xia Ziyu designed the title name for pikapika comics in order of 1,000 points of Meng Xin, 5,000 points of fans, 10,000 points of comic fans, 50,000 points of small Meng master, 100,000 points of Meng master, million points of big Meng master, 10 million points of Meng God.
And Extraordinary is also one of the reward users, rewarding 50,000 pickup coins, becoming the second fan of the magical girl Madoka, and the fan level is Xiaomeng.
Fan levels like this can not only give fans a sense of psychological satisfaction, but also make some fans have a comparison mentality, and if they have different titles, they will want to get a more advanced title.
This is like the professional level of the game, which is divided into novice, trainee warrior, knight, grand knight, paladin, holy grand knight, etc., and the title of the first order is more awesome than the first, so that players are more motivated to improve their characters.
After the opening of this website, some of the manga artists and editors who had been paying attention to Madoka Magical Girl before shifted their attention to pikapika, and found that someone actually opened a webtoon platform!
Unlike a competition platform like the Magical Girl Manga Cup, it is only a platform that is serialized in a physical magazine and does not have the ability to operate commercially.
And pikapika comic network is the first webtoon platform in the real sense of the Daya Federation!
Xia Ziyu also put a receipt advertisement on the homepage of the website, with a reserve price of 150 yuan per page for the original comics, and newcomers are welcome to contribute! This offer really stunned the eyes of cartoonists and editors, and that is the three major prices!
You must know that the Comics Association stipulates that the minimum price of the original comic manuscript in the industry is 100 yuan, but there are still many third-rate comic magazines that give newcomers a variety of deductions on this standard.
There are only three comic weeklies in the industry that give newcomers the highest remuneration, and the three comic weeklies belong to three different comic publishing houses, and the quotation is 150 yuan per page for newcomers.
Even if a rookie cartoonist submits to the three major comic publishing houses, as long as they do not belong to other journals of the three major weekly magazines, the manuscript fee may only be slightly higher than the market price.
Now that this unknown small website is charging such a price, do you feel that you are on the same level as the three major comic weekly?
The three major comic magazines are divided into three different comic magazines: Weekly Shonen Sword, Vitality Girl Weekly, and Weekly Youth Comics, and the three comic publishing houses are all registered companies in District 11.
Many newcomer cartoonists are tempted by this, many of them know that they have no chance to be serialized on the three major publishers, and even other publications of the three major publishing houses cannot pass the serial review, at most they can only find third-rate comic magazines to serialize, so the manuscript fee is much worse.
Comic editors have a different view, feeling that the site's operating model may have an impact on the traditional brick-and-mortar publishing industry.
Pikapika comics online has very detailed comic subscription regulations,The first eight words of the signed comic are completely free to read,The ninth chapter needs to be subscribed after it is put on the shelves。
It means that in the first eight chapters of free reading, fans can tell whether this comic is worth chasing, and then decide whether they pay for this comic.
Unlike manga magazines, a total of 20 comics are serialized in a comic magazine at the same time, but comic fans may only be interested in some of the above ones, but it is impossible for him to buy only the content of these comics, but need to buy the entire magazine.
A magazine ranges from about 10 yuan to 20 yuan, comics talk about this kind of industry article magazine is cheap, generally within 15 yuan, and comic magazines are slightly expensive, third-rate comic magazines are also 15 yuan, and the more well-known is around 18 yuan, the highest price in the industry is the three major comic weekly, 20 yuan a period.
It is also said that the comic fan spent 20 yuan to buy the comic weekly, but he only read a few of the comics in it, and the others were not his dishes, but he had to pay for the works he liked, and even the other dozen comics!
Is it worth it?
Comic fans will definitely answer that it is worth it! Even if they only chase one manga, they will buy a manga magazine, even if the other manga is just a casual glance.
In other words, the twenty yuan comic magazine has an average of one yuan per work, and if a comic fan only reads a comic, but spends twenty for the work he likes, the premium is nineteen times.
No one thought there was anything wrong with this before, but if you really don't think it's worth it, you can wait for the comic book to come out and buy it, so that you don't have to worry about wasting money and buying a comic you don't like.
But now, with the emergence of webtoon platforms, comic fans can choose their favorite works to pay, and the content of a word is cheaper than that of magazines, will comic fans turn to the arms of online platforms?
That's a problem!
