Chapter 010: The Author's Welfare is Out!

In the golden age of online literature, there is no piracy of online texts, and some are just "reprinted", because the e-books in these years are for the majority of netizens to read for free, and the concept of "VIP chapter paid reading" has not yet come into being, so at this time, online texts still pay more attention to "literary", and "commercial texts" have not formed a clear concept.

It is precisely because of this that more than 99.99% of the online authors in these years have no remuneration to pay, and the reason why these authors serialize their works on the Internet is simply because of their love for literature.

As for the few remaining authors who are paid for their contributions? Those authors do not rely on e-books to earn manuscript fees, but rely on their works to become popular online and offline to publish them.

All in all, "network author" is not a new profession in 2002, and it can even be said that "network author" has not been developed into a profession, more than 99.99% of network authors do not have an intuitive concept of the word "remuneration", and the author does not write books for remuneration, purely out of interest, not as utilitarian as more than ten years later, and is completely written to cater to readers and the market.

Chen Mo has a "prescient sense" and deeply understands the truth of "one step first, step by step", and as the first website to launch [Author Benefits], the starting point will definitely attract a large number of online authors to settle in.

At present, Chen Mo is sitting on a start-up capital of 200,000 yuan, don't look at this 200,000 is a lot, in fact, he can't afford to squander it a few times, so Chen Mo has to think carefully about how to get this [author welfare]?

As a new original literary portal with no roots to speak of, it is impossible for Qidian to launch a paid reading plan for VIP chapters in the short term. Even if it is a deep-rooted original literature portal, it is not easy to launch a paid reading plan for VIP chapters, after all, the general trend of this era is "free reading for all".

Therefore, Chen Mo will not rashly launch the "VIP Chapter Paid Reading Plan" before he is 100% sure, and estimates that in the future, the income and expenditure of the starting point can only be "only in and out".

Fortunately, the starting point is directly hosted by the system, and Chen Mo does not have to rent a server for the website, nor does he have to worry about the daily maintenance of the website, which also saves him a lot of expenses.

"How to get this first author's benefit? Is it a courtesy to be stationed at the station? Or is it a courtesy to sign a contract?"

Chen Mo frowned and thought for a while, feeling that this author's welfare must be enough of a gimmick, since this is the case, then he will finalize the first author's welfare - stationary courtesy!

Residency, as the name suggests, is the author to the starting point to publish the work!

Chen Mo decided that all authors who come to the starting point will be given a heart-warming gift at the starting point, that is, a beautiful cover. Of course, Chen Mo will set a small threshold, and only works with more than 30,000 words can apply for this heart-warming gift in the author's background.

There is no way, the group of "eunuchs" is everywhere, and many authors can dig a pit and it will be gone, which makes Chen Mo have to set a small threshold.

The second benefit - signing a gift!

Reluctant that the child couldn't trap the wolf, Chen Mo finally gritted his teeth after thinking about it repeatedly, and decided to bleed!

As long as the number of words reaches 100,000 words, all signed works under the starting point can apply for a signing fee of 100 yuan in the author's background, and the signing fee will be issued in the next month after the author's application.

The third benefit - creative subsidy!

To put it bluntly, the creation subsidy is the perfect attendance award, and within each natural month, the number of daily updated words of the signed works at the starting point can be obtained as a creation subsidy, 100 yuan for more than 2000 words, 200 yuan for more than 4000 words, and 300 yuan for more than 6000 words. There is no need to apply for the creation subsidy, and if it reaches the target this month, it will be automatically issued the next month.

It seems that Chen Mo's full attendance bonus is relatively low, but it depends on what era it is, looking at 2002, which literary website can be as rich as Chen Mo?

Maybe a work winning the full attendance award doesn't reflect anything, but what about ten hundred works? These works are accumulated, and the monthly expenditure is not a small amount, 200,000 seems to be much, but in fact it is not enough for Chen Mo to squander for a few months.

It's still the old saying, reluctant children can't trap the wolf, in view of the fact that the online authors in this year can update as they like, and it is common to update chapters once every two or three days or even longer, so Chen Mo launched the "Creation Subsidy" to encourage authors to work hard to create, hoping that authors can insist on continuous improvement.

When the website makes a profit in the future, the update speed of the authors will be greatly improved, Chen Mo will make corresponding adjustments to the benefits according to the situation at that time, I believe that there will always be bread, and it is only a matter of time before the authors usher in spring.

The fourth benefit - complete protection!

Chen Mo thought about it, and still set up a guarantee for the signed works under the starting point, that is, 2,000 yuan of the completion guarantee, when the number of words in the work reaches 250,000, 500,000, and 750,000, the author can apply for 300 yuan, 400 yuan, and 500 yuan respectively through the author's background, and the remaining 800 yuan will be applied for when the number of words in the work reaches more than 1 million words and the work is completed.

The complete guarantee is mainly for the author who is slow to code words or can not code words every day due to conditions, although the 2000 yuan full guarantee is not much, but at least it can make the authors who like to write have a head.

The above four benefits are Chen Mo's "2002 Starting Point Author Benefits", and when the website grows strongly, [Author Benefits] will gradually improve, so let's make do with it for the time being!

Although it is temporarily improvised, Chen Mo has reason to believe that the introduction of this benefit will definitely shake the entire online literature circle! Who let Chen Mo slap his swollen face and become fat? When he squandered the 200,000 bound gold and still hasn't completed the main task, then he will be miserable.

Since there is a time limit for the completion of the main quest, Chen Mo, as the host, will be punished for failing to complete the task within the specified time, and as the author, Chen Mo clearly knows what the punishment for failing the task is, in order not to lack an arm and a broken leg, Chen Mo must complete the main quest within half a year.

Chen Mo knows that the author is the foundation of the original literary portal, and he firmly believes that with the shocking release of "2002 Starting Point Author Welfare", it will be able to attract a large number of online authors to settle in.

Chen Mo is not worried about the number of registered users and authors stipulated in the main quest at all, although readers in these years don't like to register or log in to their accounts when they read books, but this is not difficult for Chen Mo, you can solve the problem by getting a user to sign in, sign in every day to send experience points, draw small prizes every week, and draw grand prizes every month.

The number of registered users is easy to solve, and the number of authors is also easy to solve, the only thing that is more difficult to solve is the "great god", it seems that Chen Mo wants to find a way to create a great god within half a year.

How do you create a problem?
