Chapter 013 Web Author May Be a Good Part-Time Job

Yang Hu is an Internet café administrator, and in view of his work, he has to spend at least 12 hours a day in an Internet café, so the last thing Yang Hu lacks every day is Internet time.

Chatting about QQ, watching videos, shopping forums, playing games, this day of time flies, Yang Hu feels that he is wasting his time, the problem is in the era of "knowledge changes fate", how can he compete with those college students with a secondary school diploma?

It is precisely because Yang Hu thinks that his diploma is low and he is not competitive in the market in the talent society, so Yang Hu has never thought about changing his fate in the past, and he feels that "Internet café administrator" is also a good job, at least it is not a problem to support himself, and there is a lot of time to surf the Internet for free every day.

That afternoon, Yang Hu clicked on the "Fantasy Continent" as usual, and just as he was about to look for a novel to read, the title of a post titled "2002 Author Welfare Plan Shockingly Debuted, You Will Definitely Regret It If You Don't Look at It!", the title of the post locked his eyeballs, so Yang Hu clicked into the post with a curiosity.

"You write, I pay. Coming soon, the 2002 Author Welfare Program is here!

Benefit 1: Be courteous at the station!

Implementation object: all resident and contracted works

Implementation time: October 1, 2002

Implementation plan: If the number of words in the main text of the work reaches 30,000 words, you can apply for a beautiful cover for free through the author's background. ”

When Yang Hu saw this, he couldn't help but complain wildly in his heart, saying that "beautiful covers" can also be regarded as a kind of welfare? Although Yang Hu read few books, he ate a lot of salt, and he didn't mention the far ones, just said that in the fantasy continent he frequented, the artists of the art group designed novel covers for the authors for free.

Obviously, the "beautiful cover" is not a kind of author's benefit, it is just an eye-catching gimmick to be launched.

Yang Hu pursed his lips and continued to look down patiently.

"Benefit 2: Sign a gift!

Target: All contracted works

Implementation time: October 1, 2002

Implementation plan: If the number of words in the body of the work is more than 100,000 words, you can apply for a signing fee of 100 yuan through the author's background.

(Note: The signing fee will be applied for this month and will be paid the next month.) )”

Huh~ It seems that this "signing gift" is quite good, but this signing fee is too low, right?

Of course, it is definitely better to have a signing fee than nothing, in this era of free writing by online writers, the signing fee of 100 yuan is a kind of gospel for those online writers who have never received the manuscript fee, but at this time, Yang Hu is not interested in writing, he only dares to be interested in the benefit of "signing a courtesy", because Yang Hu is still the first time to hear of this benefit.

The author benefit of "signing a gift" is the exclusive initiative, and the "author benefit plan" is also the first of its kind in the industry, so it is not surprising that Yang Hu has never heard of it before.

Yang Hu looked down and looked at the rest of the author's welfare with interest.

"Benefit 3: Creation subsidy!

Target: All contracted works

Implementation time: October 1, 2002

Implementation plan: In each natural month (from the 1st to the last day of the month), the starting point of the contracted works will be updated every day (0:00~23:59) to meet the specified standard to obtain a creative subsidy.

1. If you update ≥ 2,000 words per day, you can get a 100 yuan creation subsidy;

2. If you update ≥ 4,000 words per day, you can get a 200 yuan creation subsidy;

3. If you update ≥ 6,000 words per day, you can get a 300 yuan creation subsidy.

(Note: The creation subsidy does not need to be applied for by the author, and during the statistical period, the number of words in the daily body of the contracted work reaches the specified standard, and it will be automatically issued in the next month.) )”

Yang Hu saw this benefit, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he really felt that the benefit was good, although the creation subsidy of only 100~300 yuan per month was not much, but this is simply a natural sound compared to free writing.

Yang Hu couldn't help but think in his heart, with his more than 12 hours of Internet time every day, it seems that it is not too difficult to write 6000 words a day, he usually chats with netizens about QQ, and the number of words he chats about in a day is several 6000 words, but writing is not a chat, about "online writing", Yang Hu is a black eye, no experience.

Yang Hu has the heart to make extra money, but he is usually only responsible for reading, and he has zero experience in writing. As for the composition, the past is unbearable, so I don't want to mention it.

"Benefit 4: Complete Protection!

Target: All contracted works

Implementation time: October 1, 2002

Implementation plan: Each contracted work is set up with a guarantee of 2,000 yuan, and the work can be applied for if it meets the specified standard.

1. When the number of words in the body ≥ 250,000 words, you can apply for a 300 yuan guarantee through the author's background.

2. When the number of words ≥ 500,000 words, you can apply for a 400 yuan guarantee through the author's background.

3. When the number of words ≥ 750,000 words, you can apply for a 500 yuan guarantee through the author's background.

4. When the number of words in the body is ≥ 1 million words and the work is completed, you can apply for a guarantee of 800 yuan through the author's background.

(Note: The continuous interruption time of the contracted work cannot exceed 7 days, otherwise the work will be deemed to have automatically waived the guarantee.) )

Benefit 5: Stay tuned!

Although there are only four author benefits, I don't know if the fifth benefit is a hole that will never be filled, and the first benefit cannot be called a welfare, but Yang Hu feels that the "2002 Author Welfare Plan" has a great conscience, and the cliff is to benefit the majority of online writers.

Don't look at this matter, it has nothing to do with Yang Hu for the time being, but Yang Hu can't hold back the little excitement in his heart, he thinks he can try writing, and whether he can succeed is another matter.

In Yang Hu's mind, there are surprises everywhere in life, he doesn't have much other time, and he spends a lot of time online, in case he really becomes an online writer, it is not bad to have a few hundred yuan more than a month to supplement his life.

At this moment, Yang Hu doesn't think that being an online author is a promising career, he just thinks that if he can earn a few hundred yuan more every month, why wouldn't he do it?

In fact, not only Yang Hu, many netizens had the same thoughts as Yang Hu after watching the "2002 Author Welfare Plan", and began to think that "Internet author" may be a good part-time job.

"Receipt type: the sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great. There are only themes that you can't think of, and there is no genre that you can't get from a starting point.

Submission Method:

1. Since October 1, 2002, publish works directly in ().

2. From now on, submit your manuscript through the QQ (1942730) or email (1942730@) of the editor-in-chief of the starting point. ”

Yang Hu didn't think about it, and directly copied the QQ of the editor-in-chief of the starting point "Silence is golden" to add, anyway, Yang Hu felt that the last thing he lacked was Internet time, if he could make extra money after work, it seemed that this was also a good choice.

Soon, Yang Hu succeeded in adding "Silence is Golden", and he didn't know whether "Silence is Golden" was offline or invisible, Yang Hu only looked at the avatar of "Silence is Golden" in black and white.

Anyway, Yang Hu still sent a message to "Silence is Golden": "Editor, hello! I saw your contact information in the Illusion Continent, and I came to ask how to write the online article?"

Yang Hu waited for a while, but did not see a reply from the other party, so he had to turn his attention back to the post.

At this time, Yang Hu found that there was a portal at the end of the post, that is, the [2002 Fan Fiction Essay Contest].
