Chapter 7 Methods of Making Money

At 6:10 the next morning, the alarm went off, and after Li Tianran washed up, he began to eat breakfast.

Breakfast was soy milk and fritters that my mother bought at the breakfast shop in the community.

Soy milk can supplement sufficient high-quality protein and calcium for the body, and can also whiten and moisturize the skin, reduce wrinkles, and anti-aging and anti-aging.

It is the first choice for breakfast in Li Tianran's family.

After breakfast, Li Tianran began to practice calligraphy, and after practicing calligraphy, he remembered yesterday's bottle cap, so he went out to buy a scraper in the supermarket in the community.

"How much?" Mother Zhao Yue saw it and asked, "2 yuan", "Just buy it, this should be better to use, I'll give you the money!" ”

"No, I still have money." Li Tianran refused the money her mother wanted to give her.

Mother Zhao Yue is more able to live, usually more frugal, to buy a toilet paper to divide the number of dollars by the number of grams, calculate which is cheaper, and then buy which.

After all, only his father Li Jianjun works alone in the family, although his father's work is not bad on average in a small city, but he has to raise children and support the elderly on both sides, and his hands should not be rich.

"I'm still poor, do I have to find a way to earn some money, I don't expect to be able to help the family, at least I don't have to ask my parents for money if I want to buy anything." Li Tianran thought.

But as a first-year junior high school student, only 11 years old, in a small city, and can't affect schooling, I really don't know what to do to make money.

After thinking about it for a while, I only thought that maybe I could write some manuscripts and make money by submitting them.

But Li Tianran had never submitted a manuscript before, and he didn't know where to submit it or what to write.

I was confused for a while, and I lost confidence in whether I could make money.

But when you think about it, whether you can do it or not, you have to take the first step first, and now that you have an idea, when you start the first step, you are actually half the battle.

Not once, twice, twice not 3 times, Li Tianran doesn't believe it, knows the future information, has read countless novels, and can't write a short essay by himself.

It's better to act than to act, Li Tianran decided to go to the bookstore after school tomorrow afternoon.

Take a look at which magazines are more popular, buy them back to understand the type of receipt, word count, format requirements, and then carefully study how others write them.

I believe that when you have a direction, you know what to write and how to write it.

As a well-read and self-aware adult, Li Tianran still knows whether a manuscript is well written or not, and whether there is any hope of being published.

When the time comes, write it yourself, review it yourself, and if it is not written well, you just don't send it.

Sending it out, not receiving it, is just a loss of a few cents of stamp money, but also exercised my writing ability, not in vain.

On Monday, at 5:40, as soon as school ended, Li Tianran couldn't wait to come to the Pearl Bookstore, which was not far from the school, and took a turn.

Combined with the usual observation of students in school, it was found that among the magazines, "Times Film and Television" and "Boys and Girls" are the most popular among junior high school students.

"Reader" and "Youth Digest" high school students buy more.

"Story Club" is bought more by adults.

The main content in "Times Film and Television" is the introduction of some popular TV series, celebrity outfits, entertainment gossip, celebrity interviews, etc., which star chasers like to watch.

However, magazines like this should not accept articles, and Li Tianran does not work in the entertainment industry, so it is obviously not suitable and passed.

In addition to "Times Film and Television", Li Tianran bought one copy of each of the others.

"Reader" and "Youth Digest" are both 3 yuan, "Story Club" is 2.5 yuan, "Boys and Girls" is 4 yuan, and it costs a total of 16.5 yuan to buy 4 magazines.

"Boys and Girls" is divided into three editions, the gold version and the silver version and the digest version, all of which have suitable people.

During the evening self-study, Li Tianran finished his homework and began to practice calligraphy.

I didn't take out the magazine I just bought to read, nor did I lend it to my classmates. It's not good to be caught and confiscated.

I'll wait until the weekend to study it. When you're done researching, you can lend it to your classmates.

Besides, Li Tianran is not the little kid he used to be, but he doesn't want to be caught by the teacher as a negative example.

It is said that Li Tianran in the past was really naïve, and he often made all kinds of naughty mischief in class to attract the attention of the teacher.

When I was criticized by the teacher, I felt very honored.

I really don't know what I thought at the time, maybe it was to attract attention?

When I was a child, I stood on tiptoe and looked at myself as I grew up, and when I grew up, I looked back on the pure time of my youth alone.

This is youth, and only after losing it will you know how precious it is.

Li Tianran scored another 100 points in this week's math exam, and he has already received two books.

It is used to write the manuscript, and when the manuscript is finished, it is repeatedly revised and finalized, and then copied onto the red graph paper.

In his previous life, Li Tianran had heard that it was best to write on graph paper.

If the manuscript is published, it is easy for the editor to revise it, calculate the line spacing, and the word count is also easy to calculate.

Time flickered to the weekend, Li Tianran took out the magazine and began to read it one by one.

"Reader" should be the most circulated among them, and the articles published involve literature, art, criticism, stories, popular science sketches related to life, and psychological counseling.

However, it mainly publishes wonderful articles that have been published in other newspapers and books.

The same is true for Youth Digest, which can be submitted by yourself or recommended to magazines.

The original author's information, original source and date of the article should be indicated in the manuscript recommendation.

After the journal decides to receive the manuscript, it will pay the royalties to the original authors and publishers according to the established standards, and pay the recommendation fee to the recommenders, and there will also be an income of 30-50%.

However, there will definitely be fewer recipients, and there will be more people from all over the country, and the competition will be too fierce.

"Reader" and "Youth Digest" are semi-monthly magazines, and reading these magazines can broaden your horizons.

This period was the pinnacle of print media. Magazines sell very well in bookstores.

At this time, everyone did not have a mobile phone, and they were looking for spiritual food in various magazines and books.

The main focus of the book is to publish stories that reflect contemporary Chinese social life, but it also includes an eclectic mix of folk tales and classic foreign tales.

"Story Club" mainly includes legal knowledge stories, open-book stories, appreciation of foreign literary stories, hot reading of online literature, humorous world, new legends and other columns.

In fact, the story will be very good-looking, there are many good-looking stories in it, the characters are also plump, the verbal and literary are perfectly combined, and each story is easy to read, easy to tell, and can be transmitted.

opened a channel between popular and elegant, but unfortunately it was ridiculed as a migrant worker book for some reason.

Maybe it's because there are so many rural stories in it? Or is it because it's all interesting stories and easy to understand? Not elegant enough?
