Chapter 117: The Strategy of Pulling People

As an online website, of course, there must be writers. Regarding the question of writers, Chang Zheng and the two editors started an exchange.

Chang Zheng is very kind and easy-going to his employees, but he also carries a bit of leadership prestige in his cordial and easy-going. But to the two editors, Lin Yonggang and Ma Yuan, he is much more polite. Although these two editors are nominally employees of New Beginnings, they are on loan, and they are often invited guests.

Chang Zheng said to the two editors: "Two big brothers, you are all industry insiders, and I don't need to go into detail about many things, so I'll pick the key points." To open an online website, of course, there must be online articles, and online articles must be written by writers. How did the writers come to be, and how would they be willing to post on our New Beginnings website? There are two ways, one is to please, and the other is to wait. Please at the beginning, and wait later. ”

"Please, please, it's not just pulling people, it's all about fooling." , Lin Yonggang suddenly interjected.

Chang Zheng smiled: "Lao Lin, it's okay for you to understand it like this." In the early stage, we have to take the initiative to pull a group of writers who can write, it is difficult to invite well-known writers, and don't think about big gods and small gods. It is also difficult to pull signed authors from big websites such as Fenghua.com, Blue-Orange.com, and Hongye.com, even if these authors are not famous. Especially when the works of the contracted authors are on the shelves, it is even more difficult to pull because they can get money from the website. ”

Lin Yonggang: "Lao Chang, I know the little Jiujiu in your heart. New Beginnings relies on you to support the overall situation and rely on your new works to attract popularity. But as you said, a website can't just have one book, right? So you need to grab a bunch of anonymous writers to back you up to bring out the great godhead who has returned from heaven. I agree with you, please at the beginning, wait later. In the early stage, we will bring in some people to make the website more lively, at least there must be hundreds of books. In the future, the fame of the website will gradually grow, and naturally there will be rabbits hitting the tree, so let's just wait. ”

Chang Zheng nodded: "Yes." That's the policy. Also, I explained that I need writers and their work to make the site a little more lively, but I'm not going to catch anyone to back my back. On the contrary, if the authors of the serialization on the New Beginnings website are really powerful, I will give them more generous treatment. Lao Lin, Brother Xiaoma, you also know, take Fenghua.com as an example, they have 500,000 registered authors, and about 20,000 authors can get contracts.

Among the 20,000 contracted authors. There are about thirty percent of those that can be put on the shelves, and many authors have signed a contract and got two recommendations with bad results, so they went directly to the eunuchs. So in the end, only 30% of the people can be put on the shelves, that is, 6,000 people. 500,000 authors swept the waves, and in the end, only 6,000 people could get their manuscript fees. These 6,000 authors are lucky, in fact, the authors who have not signed a contract account for the vast majority, and some authors have written for several years, coded millions of words and have not been signed, and have not earned a penny, these authors are the objects we want to fight for. ”

Ma Yuan, who had never spoken, said at this time: "The threshold for writing online articles is not high now. To tell the truth, as long as you can type, you can be an author, and the signing requirements for a big station like Fenghua.com are the strictest, with a signing rate of 4%. The signing rate of small and medium-sized websites is higher, generally more than 10%. Or take Fenghua.com as an example, only 4% of their registered authors can sign a contract, and some of the 96% of authors who can't sign a contract do not meet the signing requirements. But there are also many authors who have a level, but they just haven't found the trick. What we want to fight for is that the 96% of unsigned authors have the ability to write, at least those who have potential. Lao Lin and I can guide the author to write. Of course, they are willing to listen to our guidance. ”

Chang Zheng: "That's right, that's it. ”

Lin Yonggang answered: "Then how can Mr. Chang let us pull people?" Go to the book review area of the author of another website or the personal center to swipe people's messages? Or sneak into some of the authors' groups, scattering people ads? ”

Chang Zheng: "At present, it seems that this is indeed a method, although it is inefficient, it can always bring in some people. ”

Lin Yonggang sighed: "Hey, although Xiaoma and I are not famous editors, we are also mixed in a regular publishing house." In the past, the author begged us, but I never thought that now we still have to do this kind of thing. Cangshen, you are really forced to be a prostitute. What price can Boss Chang give to writers? Money is a vulgar thing, but it also works. There must be brave men under the heavy reward, otherwise why would people come to us? ”

Chang Zheng thought for a while and said: "Our company is not very rich in funds now, and we will definitely not be able to give a lot of money, but it should not disappoint the writers." When the two brothers pulled people, it can be said that as long as they can follow the command and write according to the editor's advice, they can guarantee the contract. After signing the contract, as long as the update is stable, it can be guaranteed to be on the shelves. At present, the subscription share of mainstream websites to writers is 2-4 cents per thousand words, and we give 5 cents per thousand words. Don't underestimate the two cents, every penny is worth the goods, and the little adds up. I think for most writers who haven't signed a contract before, being able to sign a contract will appeal to them more. It's troublesome for the two brothers, and you may have to hurry up on this matter. ”

"Alright, let's do it. Who told Mr. Chang to pay us salaries, take people's money, and do things for others. Money can make ghosts grind. Lin Yonggang took over the task of pulling people, and then he said: "You can pull people online, but we don't dare to guarantee how many people we can pull and when we can get in place, we can only say do our best." After all, we don't know the people on the Internet, and the person who is typing and chatting with you may be a pet cat. I also have some writer friends in the circle, relatively speaking, they know the roots, most of them are part-time, I asked them if they are interested in coming to a new starting point to post. Many of my friends have stable jobs, and writing is just a hobby, which may not guarantee stable updates. ”

Chang Zheng arched his hand and said: "I'm tired of Brother Gang!" ”

Lin Yonggang waved his hand: "Don't be polite to Mr. Chang." In addition, I would like to make a few suggestions, in fact, it is just a warm-up for me and the little Marat. You use the pen name of Return from the Sky to pull people openly, and the effect is definitely better than the two of us secretly sending gossip. Including if you ask that girl employee to advertise on other websites, the effect will also be there. So I suggest that you don't have to hide it, and take advantage of the current popularity of the return of the sky as soon as possible to advertise the new starting point. My pony and I will pull people at the same time, and we will start pulling now.

In fact, Pony and I still have some resources in our hands, and we can contact the authors of the manuscripts that we have rejected before. Fortunately, I didn't say no when I rejected people before, and I basically said that I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. So be a man and leave a line, so that we can meet in the future. I hope that those authors who have been rejected by me will not hold a grudge against me, they actually have the potential to adjust their creative ideas, and many authors have good skills. ”

"Also, Mr. Chang, you can't just recruit rear personnel, you don't need front personnel? My pony and I brought the writer here, and someone had to do the contracting, copyright management, etc., that is, the contracted editor. Although the contract editor does not deal directly with the work, this position is very important. In the early stage, Xiaoma and I can correspond to the signing matters, but in the future, there will be more and more authors and works, and we will definitely not be able to take care of them, and we will mainly focus on the review and guidance of works as our core business. Therefore, Mr. Chang, you have to supplement the contract editor as soon as possible, at least one must be recruited, this person should have a legal knowledge background, not to mention anything else, copyright law must at least be well played. ”

"Oh, yes, another ......"

Lin Yonggang made a bunch of suggestions, Ma Yuan supplemented them from time to time, and Chang Zheng listened quietly.

Chang Zheng also admitted that what these two editors said was very reasonable, and they also took into account many issues that they didn't consider, and they deserved to be professionals. Chang Zheng took a lot of suggestions and immediately arranged for people to do it.

As for using the pen name of the return of the sky to promote the new starting point network, Chang Zheng will naturally do it, but he has to wait. He is going to write a braille count of "Full-time Master" before doing publicity.

The novel "Full Time Master" has many highlights and selling points. The protagonist Ye Xiu, as the most dazzling e-sports star and the textbook of the "Glory" game, was forced to retire at the beginning. Ye Xiu, a champion figure, was even insulted and ridiculed by the younger generation and asked him to be a sparring partner.

As soon as the butterfly god opened the book, he pulled out a lot of hatred. The hero is at the end of the road but is unwilling to admit defeat, and this book has a very attractive selling point at the beginning.

Chang Zheng went home to eat dinner made by Dou Yan herself, and on his 24th birthday, he began to write the text of "Full-time Master". (To be continued......)
