Chapter 121: Digging People
Late one night, at half past two in the morning, Ma Xiaoning lay in front of the computer desk, raised his waist heavily, and rubbed his eyes tired and sour from staring at the computer screen for too long. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Exhausted, I finally finished tomorrow's task: 6000 words.
Ma Xiaoning is 23 years old this year, just graduated from college, and found a job as an ordinary clerk, 1,600 yuan a month, and the income is not high or low among the graduates of the same year.
But a year ago, he had a 'part-time job': writing novels on Zeyue's Chinese website.
mentioned his pen name 'Xiao Ningzi', there is such a number one person in Zeyue, and he doesn't dare to take the title of big god and small god, anyway, he has written two books with the current one, both of which have been successfully signed and put on the shelves, and the current book is set to be maintained at more than 500.
If you have to label him with an author-level label, Ma Xiaoning can probably be regarded as a low-level Internet writer. Of course, this is the ranking after excluding those entry-level writers who can't even sign a contract and put it on the shelves, in the eyes of entry-level writers who can't even sign a contract, Ma Xiaoning, who has an average of 500, can be called a god.
The average income of more than 500 is not high, and the average is five or six yuan per 1,000 words, so the attendance award of 6,000 words and 600 yuan per day is quite important.
In a month, the income from work is 1,600 yuan, and the manuscript fee, benefits, rewards, etc. for writing online novels are added together, and you can almost get 1600 up and down.
Judging from the total economic income alone, more than 3,000 a month, in my own small city of three counties, it is definitely a high-income group, even if it is placed in the first-tier cities of the country, this income is not too low for college students who have only graduated for one year.
"It's just too tired. Ma Xiaoning rubbed his sore neck, sighed weakly, and once again had the thought of 'give up' in his heart.
6,000 words a day, almost uninterrupted throughout the year, often until midnight at night, groggy at work during the day, rare for a weekend, and at least the word early, all the spare time is on this, there is no free life at all.
He still remembers a high fever, but the next day's manuscript was not finished, in order to get the 600 yuan full attendance reward for the month, he could only grit his teeth and stay up until dawn, as a result, he dozed off at work the next day, and was severely criticized by the leader in front of the whole company.
Don't look at him now that he has more than 500 equalizations, but Ma Xiaoning knows very well in his heart that as long as he relaxes a little, such as two or three thousand words less a day, or occasionally takes a few days off, readers will immediately make a fuss, and the subscription will definitely drop significantly.
Also, at present, the competition in Zeyue is too fierce, everything speaks with data, and almost all recommended positions are grabbed, and writers at his level often can't get a good recommendation in a month.
I don't recommend it, how can I get out?
The pressure was too great, and every day it was like someone with a whip urging him to die, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment.
As usual, the thought of 'giving up' came to me, and after some mental struggle, it was quickly dispelled.
Anyway, it's more than 1,000 yuan a month.
"Forget it, I don't want to think so much, go to sleep and ......"
Just as he was about to go to bed, QQ suddenly screamed.
Ma Xiaoning thought he was a reader, but when he clicked on it, he saw that it was a guy with the screen name 'North Wind'.
Beifeng is the novel editor of the starting point, and he took the initiative to add Ma Xiaoning QQ, and he talked twice before, both of which pulled him to jump ship to the starting point.
The treatment at the starting point is similar to Zeyue, and the competition is not weak, once you change jobs, you have to start all over again, so Ma Xiaoning declined Beifeng twice.
"Xiao Ningzi, do you have something good to take care of you. "North Wind message.
Ma Xiaoning knocked on a paragraph casually: "Brother Beifeng, what good can you have?
"Yo, you're here, you're still coding words in the middle of the night, hard work. The north wind came over with a smile.
"Ready to sleep, is there something wrong?"
"It's really a good thing! Starting point has launched a major 'benefiting the people' measure, specifically for a writer with a certain strength like you, and I specially recommend you to the editor-in-chief!"
The corners of Ma Xiaoning's mouth twitched, and he shook his head, sure enough, he came to pull people again. It's not annoying.
was about to refuse to sleep directly, and the other party followed up with another message: "This time is different from usual, the website implements a buyout, no matter how much your book can sell, how many readers, even if there is not a single reader, the starting point will pay you at a fixed price of 1,000 words N yuan." ”
"Ah, there is such a good thing?" Ma Xiaoning's hand that was about to refuse stopped on the keyboard, thought about it, and sent a message over: "Tell me specifically, what's going on?"
"I'll just say, you're definitely interested!"
Drip Drip...... In the dialog box, seven or eight messages were sent in a row, concise and to the point, but very clearly introduced the buyout policy of the starting point.
The more Ma Xiaoning looked, the more interested he became.
"Are you sure that even if I don't have a single reader, the site can give me money?"
"Is that necessary! Can it be called a buyout?"
"What if I only write two or three thousand words a day?"
"Whatever you want, of course, the more you write, the more you earn. ”
"After the buyout, are there any benefits such as full attendance?"
"Then there is none, but it will definitely be converted into the buyout price, who is the best deal, you will know if you calculate it yourself, at a glance. ”
"Would that be a recommendation?"
"Not sure right now. But I guess that, according to common sense, the website will spend money to buy you out, and it definitely doesn't want to lose money, it should be recommended, and it will be recommended first. ”
"How many words can be put on the shelves? Oh no, how many words can be paid for?"
"This is also a big feature, let me tell you, no 300,000, no 200,000, from the first chapter, even if it's money!"
……
After asking a lot of questions, Ma Xiaoning gritted his teeth, "How much can you drive for me at the starting point?"
"The price given to you by the editor-in-chief is 11 yuan per thousand words, how about it, not bad, right?"
Ma Xiaoning quickly and silently calculated.
11 yuan per thousand words, according to the current 6,000 words a day, 66 a day, and a monthly income, there is 1980.
Just the income, has been steadily pressed at the current end of writing books in Zeyue, in Zeyue, at the best time, I haven't gotten two thousand, most of the time it's 1500, 1600 dangling.
You know,This is still counting money from the first chapter.,More than one million words in a book.,Writing shares.,The first 300,000 words are free.,In comparison,Zeyue's income actually has to be discounted by 7.5.。
Moreover, if you buy out, you don't have to worry about recommending at all, and you don't have to worry about the full attendance of 6,000 words a day, let alone intrigue with other authors for this to grab readers.
You can completely control your own rhythm of life, and your income is not less than that in Zeyue.
"Last question, I signed a contract with Ze Yue, and I jumped to the starting point, what should I do if Ze Yue sued me?"
"Hahaha, Xiao Ningzi, you think too much, let me tell you, there are too many writers who have jumped to the starting point in Zeyue, and there are hundreds of people in the past few days. In addition, I said that don't be upset, a writer of your level, Ze Yue can't take care of it. ”
"You mean, there's also the great god who went?"
"Haha, I can't say the name, the average number of people in Zeyue must be 6500, think about it. ”
