On April 1, 2003, this day was destined to be recorded in the "History of the Development of Online Literature", because on this day, the starting point of Chinese Internet opened the era of VIP chapter paid reading, and this new operation model not only brought great business opportunities to the emerging industry of online literature, but also laid a solid foundation for the accelerated rise of online literature.

In just one day, five masterpieces have emerged from the starting point, which has also left a strong mark for the starting point to successfully open the era of VIP chapter paid reading!

What is a masterpiece?

The works on the shelves at the starting point are all ordered to be more than 3,000, which is a masterpiece!

Let's look at the starting background, VIP works subscription management center - average order ranking!

1. Dragon Domain (VIP chapters: 10; average chapter subscriptions: 3333)

2. "The Domineering Emperor's Agent Favorite" (VIP chapters: 5; average chapter subscriptions: 3310)

3. "This seat is undefeated in the East" (VIP chapters: 10; average chapter subscriptions: 3289)

4. "Rebirth: Get Ahead" (VIP chapters: 10; average chapter subscriptions: 3142)

5. "The Magician of the Tang World" (VIP chapters: 10; average chapter subscriptions: 3076)

The above five works are the first batch of masterpieces that quickly poured out after the official implementation of VIP chapter paid reading at the starting point, which also opened a door called "commercialization" for the operation model of online articles.

At midnight, the starting point signed up for the author group!

Just look at the authors on the shelves one by one, incarnated as night owls, and hotly discussed the subscription of their works on the shelves.

Yang Men Tiger General: "Brothers and sisters, don't dive, come out and report on your subscription on the first day of listing, so that I can have a spectrum in my heart and know where my level is?"

"Yangmen Tiger General" is one of the first batch of internal signing authors at the starting point, and is the author of "Yitian's Wudang Song Qingshu" and "The Condor Quanzhen Zhangjiao".

"Yitian's Wudang Song Qingshu" is the debut novel of Yangmen Tiger General, which has won the fifth place in the starting point click award in November 2002, the seventh place in the recommendation award, the tenth place in the starting point click award in December 2002, and the finalist of the 2002 fandom essay contest.

Among the many works in the library at the starting point, whether it is a total click or a total recommendation, "Yitian's Wudang Song Qingshu" can be squeezed into the top 100, but this does not mean much to the remuneration of Yangmen Tiger General.

As of March 31, 2003, "Yitian's Wudang Song Qingshu" has earned a total of 4,300 yuan for Yang Menhu, of which the remuneration in November 2002 broke through the sky and reached 1,800 yuan!

However, later, as more and more works were put into the library at the starting point, the competition between authors and authors, and between works became greater and greater, and "Yitian's Wudang Song Qingshu" slowly fell silent, and the 300 yuan creation subsidy for mixing websites every month was added.

It is precisely like this, Yang Menhu, who loves villains, opened a new book with the theme of the same person at the starting point, "The True Palm of the Condor", intending to correct the name of the tragic character Zhen Zhibing!

At present, Yang Menhu's "Yitian's Wudang Song Qingshu" has been serialized to 1.44 million words at the starting point, and "The Condor Quanzhen Zhangjiao" has been serialized to 100,000 words, and "Yitian's Wudang Song Qingshu" has been arranged by the website in the early hours of yesterday morning to put on the shelves, and officially launched VIP chapter sales.

"Yitian's Wudang Song Qingshu" as a starting point of early works, the collection is still quite considerable, it was 30123 when it was put on the shelf, but it fell to 29422 after 24 hours on the shelves, fortunately, the subscription of "Yitian's Wudang Song Qingshu" is OK, and the 24-hour average subscription broke through the 500 mark!

Of course, the subscription of "Yitian's Wudang Song Qingshu" is "okay", which is simply for the 24-hour "average subscription" on the shelves, not the "subscription ratio".

If you evaluate the subscription results of "Yitian's Wudang Song Qingshu" by the subscription ratio, it seems that the number "60:1" is not very optimistic, but the corresponding remuneration, 500 is equal to 20 yuan per thousand words, even if it is divided into 55 with the website, it is also about 10 yuan per 1,000 words.

What is the concept of 10 yuan for 1,000 words?

With Yang Menhu's code word speed, it is no problem to do the daily update of "Yitian's Wudang Song Qingshu" 6000 words, calculated in a month and 30 days, if Yang Menhu's "Yitian's Wudang Song Qingshu" can always maintain 500 subscriptions, then his monthly subscription remuneration can easily enter 1800 yuan, plus the website's 300 yuan creation subsidy, Yangmenhu will earn 2000 a month is not a dream.

Before the implementation of the VIP chapter paid reading plan at the starting point, what kind of concept was "2,000 yuan"? I believe that for the vast majority of signed authors, it was the concept of a complete work of more than one million words! After all, the click awards and recommendation awards launched at the starting point, as well as the essay contest, have a limited number of awards, which also dooms most authors to only "accompany the prince to read" and can only "focus on participation".

For example, Yang Men Tiger General, except for his "Wudang Song Qingshu of Yitian" in November 2002, won the fifth place in the click award and the seventh place in the recommendation award, and won the tenth place in the click award in December 2002, and won a finalist in the 2002 fandom essay competition, the rest of the time is "reading with the prince".

As for "The True Palm of the Condor"?

Due to the double opening of Yangmenhu, "The True Palm of the Condor" can only do 1~2 changes a day, so "The True Palm of the Condor" can only "focus on participation" in the face of the click awards and recommendation awards launched every month at the starting point.

Everyone has curiosity!

Since the starting point does not disclose the subscription data of VIP works, the authors on the starting point can only check the subscription status of their listed works through the author's background.

No, just after twelve o'clock, Yang Menhu will be eager to go to the signing group to consult everyone's subscription results, in fact, the most important thing is that Yang Menhu will want to judge what level his "Yitian Wudang Song Qingshu" is in the starting point of the works through everyone's subscription results?

The young master of the white camel: "Lao Yang, before you ask people to report their subscriptions, should you report your subscriptions first?"

General Yang Menhu: "[Nose picking expression] Okay, then I'll throw stones and ask for directions first, thanks to the help of my brothers, my current average is 521." ”

Childe Evil: "The number 521 is good, my average order is 666." [Laughing emoji]"

The young master of the white camel: "Damn! The son's are all set high, and mine is only 504." [Crying emoji]"

Childe Evil: "[Sweat wiping expression], I'm still called high? The person who is really tall is stuffy, planning to make a fortune!"

Little brother loofah: "Bubbling up, my average order is 979." ”

Dressed in white: "If I'm not mistaken, someone just said in the group a few hours ago that his average order has broken 1,000." ”

Indulge in flowers: "Loofah, you're not honest~"

Little Brother Loofah: "[Waterfall Khan Expression] I didn't lie to you, my current average order is really 979." Uh~ just refreshed the subscription data.,Now it's 980.,I just didn't update today's VIP chapter.,Today's average order has reached 1468.,I think it's not the next day? ”

Yang Men Tiger General: "...... Please note that it is a 24-hour booking. ”

……

"As of midnight, my average booking is 3333. ”

The flowers bloom on the other side: "My average order is 763." ”

The concubine has long hair and waist-length: "My average order is 3310." ”

……

Dongfang Sect Master: "I just glanced at everyone's average order, it seems that more than 3,000 are Dongshan and long hair, so my 3289 average order should be on the first step?"

The master is crazy: "[depressed expression] Then is my 263 average order the tail of the crane?"

Yokogawa: "My average subscription is even worse, it hasn't broken through 100 yet, only 97, which brother will add a few subscriptions to me?"

……

……

……

The authors chatted in the group for more than two hours, and finally came to a conclusion, it turns out that subscription is king!
