Chapter 045: Selling Well in Controversy
Zhao Yan's doubts were not until a few days later, when he inadvertently entered the forum section of the website of the Ming Book Society, and finally found the answer.
There is a row of options at the top of the homepage of the website of Mingwen Publishing House, which include: rankings, reviews of excellent works, columns of famous authors, second-hand book trading, and book friend forums.
Zhao Yan has clicked on the rankings before, and has also clicked on options such as reviews of masterpieces and columns of famous authors, but he has always turned a blind eye to the section of the book friend forum.
At noon that day, Zhao Yan used a computer to log on to the website of the Mingshu Society in the attic, wandering around, and suddenly noticed this option, so he was bored for a while, so he clicked on this section.
Then, Zhao Yan discovered the reason why the score of "Full Moon Scimitar" is obviously not high, and there are so many ** in the book review area, but the recent sales have been rising.
Zhao Yan saw the top posts in this section, which were either section rules, or appreciation of the works of famous artists such as Guanying and Zifu Kunlun.
This is normal, and what is not normal is that the first post below the pinned post is related to his "Full Moon Scimitar" in the title.
Zhao Yan paid attention to the number of followers shown behind the title of this post, and was immediately startled, the number of followers was actually more than 1,700 people, more than the current number of subscribers to his book.
What's the situation?
Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows and carefully read the title of the post: The King of Bad Books "Full Moon Scimitar"! Don't buy it!!
The king of bad books?
Zhao Yan's face darkened, clicked on this post, and saw that the content of the post was written like this:
"Recently, I ordered a new copy of "Full Moon Scimitar", do you think this title is not bad? Yes! When I bought it, I also bought it because the title of the book was a bit interesting, and the introduction was not bad, but after I got it, I only read a few hundred words, and I wanted to chop my own hand! After reading a thousand words, I have already torn up the book! How rotten it can be! More than a thousand words are all nonsense in the clouds! What Qingqing's scimitar is green, green as a distant mountain, green as a spring tree, and green as a lake in the eyes of lovers......
What are you doing? Is this writing lyrical prose? Or write about the old lady's footwrap? It's more than a thousand words, I didn't even see the story officially begin, this way of writing, only one episode of this broken book can write what wonderful plot? I can't even write the beginning, but I can still read it later?
I now seriously suspect that this book was written by an inscription by a certain editor in a vest to mix money! Otherwise, there is no reason why such a bad book can be published! Without further ado, if you don't want to waste money, I recommend that you never buy this rotten book! I promise you'll regret it! ”
After reading the content of this post, Zhao Yan pursed his lips, being criticized by readers like this, he naturally didn't feel good in his heart, and he was also a little aggrieved.
The heart said: Why don't you read tens of thousands of words and then evaluate it, just after reading a thousand words and tearing up the book, do you want to be so willful?
Because of this post, Zhao Yan remembered the username of this poster: Dashan! Big mountain.
Let's take a look at the following thread.
First floor: "I've met a fellow believer!" I also bought this book with a cheap hand, and after reading thousands of words, I can't stand it anymore! Nima! Just do a paragraph in one sentence, I've never seen a book written like this, and the editor of the inscription doesn't know what to eat? The plot unfolds frighteningly slowly, and the typography is still rotten like this! Could it be that the inscription is going to evolve into a bad script? ”
The second floor: "I read tens of thousands of words, and I saw that the protagonist was played around by a woman, and I couldn't hold on. ”
Third floor: "Fortunately, before I bought the book, I used to come to the forum to see everyone's recommendations, thank you for the advice of the three heroes upstairs!" "Full Moon Scimitar"? Let's play! ”
The three posts in a row were all negative, and Zhao Yan was almost numb.
But on the fourth floor, someone finally fought for him.
Fourth floor: "It is recommended that the upstairs should read the book first before spraying!" The little woman has just finished reading this book from beginning to end, and this book does have a lot of shortcomings! But overall, the story is wonderful! Most importantly, the author of this book is a pink newcomer! It's surprising enough that a new author can write such a work! I hope that everyone will buy this book and support this author, so that he can continue to write new works! The little girl is very much looking forward to his new work! ”
Finally someone said fairly, Zhao Yan deliberately remembered the username of this book fan: Aya.
After reading the post on the fourth floor, Zhao Yan was in a better mood and had the interest to continue reading.
It didn't take long for Zhao Yan to find that there were many people in this post who slandered his book, but there were also many readers who tried to say good things about his book.
In short, there are many people who hate his book, and there are many people who like it.
Readers are polarized! About his "Full Moon Scimitar", in this post, it is extremely controversial, many people strongly recommend that everyone not buy this bad book, but there are also many people who strongly recommend everyone to buy this book.
Because of the great controversy, this post attracted so many people's attention and followers.
Zhao Yan saw in the following post that many people were curious because of the controversy here, and said that they wanted to buy a copy and take a look.
……
When exiting this post, Zhao Yan noticed that this post was still ranked high at the top of all non-pinned posts, which is the rhythm of artificial pinning!
I'm afraid that all users who come to this forum can't help but notice this post.
"Controversial? Not bad! ”
Zhao Yan thought about it and smiled, such a controversial post is no less than a good recommendation, and the indirect publicity effect is probably better than the publicity effect of the recommendation position given to him by the website.
……
After this day, Zhao Yan has another habit every day, that is, he comes to this forum every day to take a few looks, and the popularity of this post did not disappoint him, he has been hanging high above the forum, and has been in the position of being artificially topped, and the number of followers of this post has also been increasing.
Correspondingly, the number of subscribers to "Full Moon Scimitar" has also been accelerating.
By the beginning of this year's college entrance examination, the number of online orders for "Full Moon Scimitar" has exceeded 3,300, and such sales cannot be compared with those famous works on the list, but in the newcomer works in the same period, the sales volume has been far ahead, and no one can compare.
Because of this outstanding sales, "Full Moon Scimitar" has won a recommendation on the website of Mingshu Publishing House - the best rookie work in this issue.
To understand it in layman's terms, this recommended position is the rookie king of this issue.
With this additional recommendation, the sales growth rate of "Full Moon Scimitar" has accelerated again.
Together, there is also the popularity of the book review area of "Full Moon Scimitar".
The number of negative comment posts will appear at least a dozen a day, and these readers who send ** frequently question the website editors of the Ming Book Society, questioning why such a bad book can also be on the position of the best rookie in this issue?
Some people sprayed hard, but there were also many new readers who praised this work.
The praise post praised the book's creativity and storyline, but most people also criticized the book's varied style.
In just a book of more than 200,000 words, the style has changed two or three times, some people suspect that the book was not written by the same person, some people think that the new author is looking for his own style, and some people think that the writing of this book is the best in the early stage, followed by the middle, and followed by the back.
Such a skeptical person,I made a personal analysis in the post.,He thinks that the reason why Iwami's author's writing in the early stage is the best is for the success of the submission.,So it took twelve points of effort.,This reader thinks the best writing chapter.,It should be around the first ten chapters.。
After the manuscript of these ten chapters passed the publication review of the inscription, the newcomer author named Iwami was obviously not so attentive, which can be seen from the lot of nonsense in the text, and it can be seen that the reader judged that Iwami in this state probably wrote four or five chapters.
After four or five chapters, the author is lazy again, and the quality of the writing begins to decline again, and remains so until the end of the book, and the evidence of the decline in the quality of the writing again can be judged by the more nonsense in the text, and the typos that appear every now and then.
……
Zhao Yan didn't expect that some readers would make up for it on their own, which helped him find the reason for the changeable style of this book.
When he saw this analysis post of more than 1,000 words, Zhao Yan was amused when he looked at it.
"This reader is so cute!"
Zhao Yan commented.
