It's about to reach March, and Shang Zhan has written almost 500,000 words, which is really fast.

When I started typing on the keyboard and pressing the first word of the godfather of business wars, I really didn't expect that I could write so many words in an urban romance novel.

In fact, criticism has always been a fantasy writer. It's just that it wasn't well-known before.,There's a fantasy novel called the Throne of the Holy Seal (not the Throne of the Divine Seal-=),Now it's posted in the creation of the world.,Interested students can go and see it.,It's just that I was transferred from the original reading network to the creation of the world.,So it's not valued by the editor.,Later, the other party directly broke the contract.,As a result, my book can't continue to be written.。

I have a lot of feelings when I think about it now.

I will continue to work hard to finish this book well, anyway, it gives me the opportunity to write, then I have to hurry, I must finish this book, and it is a high-quality book, and then give my college writing career a flawless ending.

After working in the future, I will definitely continue to write, the college writing career is just an experience, and a new journey is also ahead, waiting for me.

Come on, write well.

I also hope that readers will continue to support me, and I will definitely create a more exciting plot to repay everyone's support!

I saw it recently, and I felt a lot, so I posted it:

1. What to write for

As an author, before writing a book, you should first be clear about what you want to write about and what you want to achieve. This goal is not to have how many clicks, recommendations, favorites, subscriptions you have at the starting point, but also to publish, what awards you have won, what you will be known for, etc., or the goal can also be to make yourself happy and give yourself a kind of vent......

Once you have set your goal, you should go firmly in the direction of the goal, regret it halfway through writing, and reset the goal in another place, which is okay. But if you look left and right while writing, clearly saying that you want to write what you want to write, but still expect to make money, or if it is obviously a commercial novel, but you have to add personal preferences and just want to be happy, basically nothing good will come of you.

Here, it must be noted that this article is aimed at authors who aim to make money at the starting point, if you set other goals, then you can do it, the starting point welcomes such authors, but this article is not suitable for you. And if you have your eyes on money, then, read this article carefully, I believe it will help you.

2. What books can make money

Now that you have set the goal of making money, the first thing you should know is, what kind of books can make money?

Here, first of all, I will give an answer that seems irresponsible: the books that readers love to read can make money. Some people may say, isn't this nonsense? Indeed, this sentence is nonsense no matter how you look at it, but in fact, as long as you put it another way, the problem is easier to analyze.

Before answering the question, first of all, it must be clear that the readers mentioned here are only Internet readers, starting point users, and more precisely, starting point VIP members. Only books that such people love to read can make money. Of course, I also want to mention that there are many works that are very miserable at the starting point, which does not mean that no one likes to read them, such as Tanmei works, it also has a large market space, but the intersection of its readership and the user base at the starting point is relatively small, so the popularity at the starting point is relatively bleak.

Having said all this, what exactly is the starting point that readers like to read? In fact, this is nothing more than the following two points: first, vivid and interesting stories, twists and turns and bizarre plots; second, let readers have a strong sense of substitution, and then feel refreshed, which is usually called YY. Among them, the second point is more important and occupies the mainstream position.

A haodeYY work, first of all, must be a work with a strong sense of substitution, only the reader regards the protagonist as himself, in order to feel suffocated when the protagonist is humiliated, and feel refreshed when the protagonist is prestigious, and the YY spirit in the work can be reflected to the greatest extent, so that readers can get the greatest pleasure in reading.

Although many works seem to have good luck and soaring strength, they just don't have that refreshing feeling when they read it, largely because the sense of substitution of the characters is not strong enough. Traditional martial arts novels are a typical example. In this kind of work, the protagonist is often handsome, with stunts, beautiful women, and can punish bullies angrily, it stands to reason that there are so many YY elements, and it is difficult for the work to be not popular, but the decline of traditional martial arts is a well-known reality, and the reason for this is that a big factor lies in the sense of substitution of the character. The protagonists of traditional martial arts novels are all born in ancient times, and their thoughts and actions are completely out of touch with modern people, and it is difficult for people to imagine themselves as the protagonists of the story.

So how can we enhance the sense of substitution? This requires certain skills, and for newcomers, the simplest and easiest thing to do is to avoid involving elements that will affect the sense of substitution, and do not ink too much on some details that are not related to the theme, and try to blur them. I once saw a post on the forum asking how much height the protagonist is more appropriate, and an old author's reply is very classic - "one person is tall". At first glance, this is a nonsense, but in fact, it is deeply in line with the essence of YY. No matter how high the protagonist is written, it will make some readers feel that it does not match them and is difficult to substitute, but the simple and universal "one person high" is a panacea setting, and the protagonist can be well substituted for whether it is high or low.

If you don't understand that, then you can be more explicit. At the starting point, the mainstream readers of the book are men in their teens and twenties, and for newcomers, it is easier to set the protagonist as such an identity, a student in modern society, or a stunned young man who is just starting out looking for a job, pay attention, the gender must be young men! If you use women, middle-aged uncles, or all kinds of strange things - such as kittens, dogs, saplings, and small stones as the protagonists, nine out of ten will be able to serve the street.

If you have to take the unpopular route and write about these unpopular protagonists, then the only way to rescue them is to transform. If you write about the heroine, give her the opportunity to transform into a man, and if you write a non-human protagonist, let it have a human form, or at least be able to temporarily disguise itself as a human. But in any case, directly setting the protagonist as a male human is the king. If you deviate from the track at the beginning and don't want to abandon the pit and rewrite, the easiest way is to change the protagonist. If you're writing about a woman, focus the story on her boyfriend and tell the story from his boyfriend's point of view, and if you're writing about a cat or a dog, find an owner for her and focus on it.

In addition, there is a small trick to enhance the sense of substitution, which is to design a harmless bad hobby, or an inconsequential minor flaw, for the protagonist of Gao Daquan and exaggerate it. For example, setting the protagonist is a road idiot who often gets lost, which is not only conducive to leading to a new story, but also allows the high-flying protagonist to walk off the altar, while maintaining the light, it also seems more approachable.

After solving the problem of substitution, it depends on whether the development of the protagonist and the direction of the story can make the reader feel happy, which is also the most critical part of the success or failure of the novel, because at this time, the reader has already regarded the protagonist as himself, and the protagonist's every move involves the reader's heart. There are already many unsatisfactory things in the lives of readers, and they come to read books for temporary leisure and temporary spiritual pleasure, so why should they sacrifice their precious spare time and hard-won money to find sin?

Here, I have to remind that the psychological tolerance of readers nowadays has become extremely poor, they are quite fragile, if the protagonist suffers too much frustration, then the reader will inevitably rebound; if there is a plot in the book where the heroine's chastity is taken away by others, the reader will inevitably run away, and the remaining half will continue to scream and scold. For a commercial novel, it's come to an end.

Talking about a few factors that should not be wanted, then, what should be desired readers like to read? It's very simple, think about what wishes you have, think about what kind of wishes your classmates, colleagues, and friends around you have, and let these wishes come true is what the protagonist should do. If you sum it up, it is nothing more than adventures, upgrades, treasure hunting, pickling girls, making a fortune, bullying people, and helping others.

Adventure is to arrange special luck for the protagonist and let him get special benefits. This can be material, such as the secret recipe of falling off a cliff and not dying in traditional martial arts, or it can be immaterial, such as meeting an old man with outstanding skills after falling off a cliff......

Upgrading is to make the protagonist continue to get stronger, even if the protagonist's strength does not need to change in the works, you can also add a description of the protagonist's practice from time to time, and then mention that the protagonist feels that his skills are a little more refined, or that his skills have become more proficient. This kind of description is not necessary, and it can be deleted from the text, but adding such a paragraph can increase the attractiveness of the work by a little bit.

Treasure hunting is somewhat similar to the adventures mentioned above, but focuses more on material acquisition and more conscious behavior. Don't be afraid that the protagonist has a lot of money, and don't think that the protagonist has a lot of treasures, this kind of thing is more and better, and the protagonist can show off in the future, and you can also give away some secondary treasures, and be thanked by others, which is very haodeYY points. However, there is one thing to be aware of, although the more treasures, the better, but try not to let the protagonist get too much at once. Because no matter how many treasures the protagonist gets at one time, it only constitutes a YY point, if you write too much in one breath, it will be a waste of future YY points, and secondly, it will also create an impression to the reader that the baby is worthless and not rare.

On the point of picking up girls, many authors have a misunderstanding, thinking that only by writing a stallion book can there be a future, and the protagonist must see one by one, and bubble one by one. In fact, the stallion writing is inferior, and while the public version performs well, the subscription is generally not very high, and readers seem to be more inclined to read free chapters than pay for them. Harem works are very different. The protagonist in the stallion book is to see one on the other, and the protagonist in the harem text sees one and receives one, always maintaining an ambiguous relationship, and will not be on all of them. Just as the cost of cleaning in a brothel is higher, the beauties in the novel, before the protagonist actually gets them, are the most valuable and the most anticipated by the reader. They will guess when the protagonist will be able to get the beauty and when to sleep with her, and this guess will usually translate into subscriptions. Note that keeping the protagonist and the beauty in an ambiguous relationship is not necessarily for the protagonist to see one and love the other, and to chase the other when he sees the other, it can be that some beauties chase the protagonist backwards, or the beauty and the protagonist don't look at each other correctly, but fate has always arranged all kinds of embarrassing coincidences. This kind of diversity will have a more haode effect.

Fortune is similar to the treasure hunt above, but it pays more attention to the acquisition of money, and it appears more in urban works. Because there is some repetition with the previous article, I won't say much about it here.

Deception is when the protagonist knocks down the enemy and then steps on it. The enemy here can be the most ordinary roadside gangster, whose strength is less than 1/100 million of the protagonist, or it can be the cosmic creation god, whose strength exceeds that of the protagonist by 100 million times. If you want to depict a deceptive scene, you must pay attention to one point, that is, you must portray the enemy well. This is an important point, and one that many newcomers tend to overlook. Only when the enemy is portrayed well and the protagonist defeats him will the reader feel refreshed. Otherwise, no matter how the protagonist tosses, the reader will think that he is nervous. To portray the enemy well, there are two directions: one is to portray the other party as ugly, so that the reader hates him, and when the protagonist ravages him, the reader will feel happy;

Helping others, this seems funny, and it seems to run counter to the gist of YY, but it's not. Helping others means getting praise and gratitude from others, imagine the protagonist throwing out some unwanted garbage, other people's eldest brother, Engong, and boss shouting non-stop, and even kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down his face and saying that he wants to go back to set up the immortal tablet scene, this kind of YY brings excitement, not necessarily weaker than the protagonist defeating the enemy. If you want your work to be more popular, you should also make use of it.

3. What subject to choose to write about

So what kind of topics can make more money and what kind of topics will make you easier? This section will analyze this question in detail.

In fact, no matter what kind of subject matter, as long as the strategy is right, it can be a big hit, but the degree of difficulty is absolutely different. Some themes are written casually without being too miserable, while others require master-level skill to show their attractiveness. The editor believes that among the topics that are easy to write and easy to write, it is a wise choice to reasonably examine the author's own standards and characteristics, and choose the most suitable theme for one's own play. As for which subjects are easy to write and hot, this will be discussed below.

Some authors believe that it is necessary to write novel themes and show enough novelty in order to attract people and become popular. Basically, this is a misconception. Novelty means that readers rarely see it, which means that the work lacks a sufficient mass base, and it takes a process to be accepted by readers, and then to be familiar and liked by readers. This kind of work has inherent disadvantages, although it is likely to have relatively large development and achievements, but it is not very suitable for newcomers, and it is not easy to write a truly innovative work.

At present, the number of works in the starting point library has exceeded 70,000. What kind of concept is 70,000? If we read 10 books a day on average, 70,000 works can make us look at them for 20 years; if an average work is printed out to be 2 centimeters thick, then 70,000 books will be piled up to 1,400 meters high; if each book is written with alternate history, then there can be 14 books describing it every year for 5,000 years...... What does this data say? Obviously, almost every subject, character, plot we can think of has been written. When there were only a few hundred books in the starting library, almost every work was refreshing to us, and quite a few works could make people amaze and admire the author's whimsy. Today, there are nearly 70,000 works in the library, and for long-time readers, no matter what the author writes, they can find similar stories in almost every corner of their memory. In this way, it is a big problem for new authors and old authors who plan to open a new pit - what else can they write now?

In fact, if you open a new book, it is nothing more than the following four situations: first, old wine in old bottles, with old-fashioned themes and old-fashioned stories; second, new wine in old bottles, old-fashioned themes and backgrounds, developing different stories; third, new bottles of old wine, which seem to be novel themes, but in fact are still old-fashioned stories, just dressed in a new coat; zuihou is new bottles of new wine, completely innovative.

Old bottles of old wine look the most boring, but if the author is profound, this kind of book is the easiest to become a super popular masterpiece. Although the words cliché, cliché, and vulgar are all derogatory, in fact, vulgar represents popularization. The reason why many things are overwritten is precisely because there is a market demand and a considerable number of readers like it. The works of old bottles and old wine are often polarized, the same theme, the works of followers have comprehensively surpassed their predecessors, so many years later, people will be more mentioned will be followers, but if the author's ability is limited, just simply imitate the predecessors, then although it is also a commercial route, Zuihou may not achieve satisfactory results.

The old bottle of new wine requires a little creativity, a little flexibility. For example, in the same time-traveling text, "Xun Qin Ji" writes that modern people return to the Warring States Period, then we can write that modern people return to the Tang Dynasty, and we can also write that Qin people travel back to modern times. If these have been written, then you can continue to play, write about the Tang Dynasty people traveling to the Song Dynasty, you can change the whole body crossing to the soul possession, you can also emphasize the professional characteristics, change the military protagonist to a chef, doctor, carpenter, or change the goal of the protagonist, change the battle for dominance to the rich party, enjoy life...... Of course, this does not mean that it is good to have new ideas and changes, and after a certain degree of modification of the creativity of the predecessors, it is necessary to think about whether there is room for such a situation to play and whether it can be written interestingly. For example, if you write about an urban ability, you can make up an infinite number of outlines, set a special ability for the protagonist at will, and develop on this basis, imagine that the protagonist Weishenme will get the ability, and what things he will do with this ability after getting it, and then you can continue to consider whether this ability has room for development, whether it will upset the balance, and whether it has enough characteristics...... If these meet the requirements, then the subject can be written by hand. This type of book is generally difficult to reach very high heights, but the street can be much smaller than other types of books.

New bottles of old wine, this is a more clever trick. In fact, this is a bit similar to the previous one, which requires a little innovation, but it does not require too much creativity, and it can still move forward along the path of predecessors. The difference is that the previous one is changed to the core, while this one is changed to the outer coat. For example, there have been a lot of online games in recent times, which are still martial arts in essence, but when they put on the coat of online games, their popularity is immediately different. In addition to packaging unpopular themes into popular genres, there are also some authors who dress up popular themes as unpopular genres, which has the advantage of making readers more fresh and making the work a higher level on the original basis, which is also the reason why several super popular masterpieces occasionally pop up in very out-of-the-way categories.

New bottles, new wines, this kind of work often requires deeper writing skills, rather than having a whimsical idea. This kind of work is inseparable from creativity, and if there is no enough new idea, everything is empty talk, but creativity alone is not enough. In fact, it is precisely because of the novelty of this kind of work that it brings additional difficulties to writing. It describes a brand-new shijie and adopts a new model, but the reader is familiar with those old-fashioned settings, so it is not easy to let readers enter the shijie of the work as soon as possible and accept the author's setting as soon as possible. If the author does it, then the work is likely to lead a trend and become a classic that will be talked about in the future, but if the author's skills are not enough, then this kind of work that is too bizarre is the easiest to get on the street.

To sum up, the editor believes that for a newcomer, to decide what subject to write, he must first examine himself, see his own abilities, and give himself a correct positioning. If the author is full of creativity and profound writing skills, then it is better to try the fourth mode and write a new story; if the author has a certain writing skill but lacks creativity, then he might as well summarize the current popular works, honestly follow the trend, and completely follow the commercial route; and if the author is not confident in his own writing ability, then it is best to use the second or third type of mode, use some tricks, do not follow the crowd, avoid traditional old-fashioned routes such as dynastic hegemony, and do not be too innovative, avoid an environment that is too new and unfamiliar to readers, and try to be in a more receptive background, develop some distinctive stories, so that it is easier for newcomers to get ahead.

How to understand the mainstream of online articles?

Many people understand online texts, which are nothing more than male fantasy and female romance.

This is said in terms of type and sex xiangshang.

Another way to say it is tragicomedy, which is dominated by comedy.

This is in terms of reader feelings.

I agree with both of these statements and use them a lot in my work.

However, what I want to talk about today is the spiritual core of the online article.

I talked about this issue when I was talking to the leaders of the Writers' Association.

I said, I think the spiritual core of online literature is successology.

Male-oriented fantasy, regardless of whether the subject matter is the alternate history of Xianxia City,

Its essence is to advocate personal struggle and personal success.

There may be the prosperity of the country in it, but it is based on the success of the individual.

Female-oriented romance, whether the subject matter is the president's concubine or the love of men and women,

Its essence is the pursuit of life satisfaction and emotional abundance.

In essence, what people have to solve is nothing more than material and spiritual demands.

The author is a human being, the reader is also a human being, and the editor is also a human being, and they all have to be solved.

Everyone is eager to succeed, and what is eager to fail is mental immaturity.

In the special medium of online literature, the core that really attracts mass readers is success.

This is a kind of Xiangshang power, and it is also the driving force for the sustainable development of online literature will not be exhausted.

This motivation can be expressed through the author's pen, which can express a variety of external content.

Upgrade all the way to the treasure, and return to ancient times to collect fierce beauties to achieve the cause of kingship......

A lot.

Many people have questioned this model, and it is true that there are many differences between literary works and goods.

Large-scale circulation of goods have unified standards, and popular online articles actually have them.

There are some patterns that are constant, and these patterns are the most successful places that are embodied in the core of successology.

Many authors are constantly deconstructing and rereading successful works in the hope of obtaining these patterns.

The web article is still in the initial stage of development.

There are no standards, and even the kernel is unwilling to unify.

Take one of the most extreme examples, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".

This is not a novel, and may be closer to the casual version of the Hundred Pulpits.

Author weishenme writes?

This may have been a feeling, but it can't be specifically for scolding.

Reader weishenme see?

Reading history can be sensible, Bacon said.

What are you doing wisely?

Go for a more successful life!

What we do is mainly web novels.

What is it about novels that attract people?

By creating situations, giving you fantasies, and taking into account inspiration.

You can't see how to repair a car when you read a novel, and generally such plots are filled with words.

But it can make you happy.

That's enough, how precious is happiness!

When the reader is happy, the author will naturally be happy.

The nature of the internet is free, grassroots, and egalitarian.

In the world of freedom, anyone can start from scratch, and this source of motivation is the foundation of successology.

If you take the online writer as an example, the gods who are now famous have only a handful of people who have a lot of money before they write.

This is also the reason why many people look down on online writers.

But heroes don't ask where they come from, and if you're the son of Bill Gates, it's your duty to become a billionaire.

You become a millionaire, it's your incompetence.

But for thousands of ordinary netizens, if you can earn 100,000 a year, you are a success.

You have proved with your own example that you can succeed in the shijie of the Internet and harvest in the world of literature.

Whether you admit it or not, the respect that an author with a net worth of 100,000 is far greater than that of an online game boss with a net worth of more than 100 million.

Although they are all done on the Internet, words are always sacred.
