Chapter IX: Online Serialization

"No, I'm not going to put Cat's-Eye in a magazine, and if nothing else, I should choose to serialize it online."

Shaking his head slightly, Li Yalin denied Zhinai's words, because he hadn't thought about this issue from beginning to end.

It stands to reason that magazine serialization is indeed the best choice to hype up a comic work, and by using the resources of excellent magazines, you can make your work known to more readers.

But the problem is that there is a premise that it takes a lot of time.

Yes, even if the Three Cat's Eye Sisters are an excellent work, so what? Li Yalin has no acquaintances in the publishing industry, and if he wants to publish his works, he must go through a series of processes such as submission review.

How much time will it take, who can say?

If there is no time limit, Li Yalin doesn't mind spending a little time to contribute, but now, time waits for no one, so he can only choose another way - online serialization!

"Web serialization?"

For Zhi Nai, online comics are definitely a novelty, because she rarely comes into contact with the Internet, and Xiangfeng does not have a computer and network at home, if it weren't for the system to arrange Li Yalin's identity with his ID card and smartphone, he is afraid that he would not even be able to search the situation of this world.

When you make money, you have to buy a computer for whatever you say!

No...... Buy two! One of your own, one of wisdom!

After feeling the pain of not having a computer, Li Yalin set this goal very seriously, but unfortunately he is also very poor now, and his face is cleaner.

There is no way, although the system gave Li Yalin a bank card, the balance in the card ...... It's really miserable.

It's just that drawing comics still burns a lot of money, not to mention paper, pen and ink, and miscellaneous tools are absolutely indispensable, in this case, it is even more difficult for him to buy a computer than to ascend to the sky.

All the bets are all on the work of the three sisters of Maoyan, this is a battle that only succeeds and does not fail!

Well, how to make money in the future or put it aside first, now let's talk about why Li Yalin chose online serialization.

Now that the island nation is part of the empire, Japanese is still used as the language of the region, but Chinese and writing are also compulsory, much like Cantonese.

As a magazine in the special zone of the island country, it is naturally divided into two types: intra-zone distribution and nationwide distribution.

Only the works of comic magazines distributed nationwide are qualified to be said to be popular, but in the same way, the threshold of that kind of magazine is too high, and it is very troublesome to review, which is not Li Yalin's first choice at all.

So how do you make readers see the works of cartoonists in the fastest time? The answer is the above, which is what Li Yalin said about online serialization.

As I said before, the scientific and technological development of this world is not inferior to the world where Li Yalin was originally located, and the Internet is naturally very developed, and major publishing houses have established exclusive comic websites.

Because not all magazines in the Special Economic Zone of the island country can be distributed nationwide, and there are many works that cannot be seen outside the Special Economic Zone, so if you want to make these works accessible to more readers, online serialization has naturally become the first choice.

It is better to say that the profits created by network serialization are far more powerful than imagined.

The world is very copyright-conscious, and the empire has also cracked down on piracy, so readers who want to see comics either buy magazines or monographs, or spend money to read them on the Internet.

In this case, the serialized works of those publishing houses can of course be sought after by more readers when they are put on the Internet.

This is not only the case for comics, but also for novels, where the business models of the two are almost the same, and the difference is limited to details.

But be aware that comics on the Internet aren't just those serialized in magazines, but more often than not, or those that don't meet the publishing qualifications, or that have been cut in half but don't want to finish.

It's just that there is no website to promote such works, and the quality itself is not satisfactory, even if it is placed on the Internet, it is just to make a little extra money, and more comic authors can't even pay back their utility bills.

After all, the remuneration of the comic industry is only a small head, and what really makes money is the product of copyright addition, such as adapting animation, such as making peripherals.

It's just that cartoonists who can reach that level are really rare enough.

Let's get back to the point.

Li Yalin chose online serialization, mainly because online serialization is simple to upload, and if the quality of the work is excellent, it will spread quickly, and then it will be the time for the work of the three sisters of Maoyan to further ferment.

After all, compared with novels, the threshold for comics is still slightly higher, and in this case, an excellent work is more likely to be recognized by readers.

So there's nothing to say next, and after a little explanation of the online serialization for Zhinai, Li Yalin quickly chose a website - a comic website belonging to Elite Publishing House, a weekly shonen Fiery.

The reason for choosing this website is that Elite Press's weekly Junior Fiery is a large magazine that can be distributed nationwide, and the traffic of the website is considered to be the top one.

The most important thing is that this website does not need to sign a contract with the website to upload works, as long as it passes the review, you can manage the work independently, whether it is paid or free depends on the author's liking.

That is to say, uploading comics on this website, the comic author has considerable autonomy, and the income will also be related to the website, and the author accounts for the majority, which is equivalent to using the platform of the website.

It's just that in this way, such works will not be able to get the promotion resources of the website, and can only rely on the authors themselves to operate.

This seems fair, but in fact, if a non-magazine serialized work wants to become popular, it can be said that it is infinitely close to zero, and a cartoonist like Li Yalin who does not submit to the magazine, but uploads it directly to the website, is definitely the first person in history.

Li Yalin's approach can be described as adventurous, because he uploaded his work to the Internet, basically putting an end to the hope of serialization of this work, if this work really sinks into the sea, I am afraid it will not set off any more ripples.

Therefore, in order to ensure a high enough success rate, Li Yalin has made sufficient preparations.

First of all, he drew a beautiful color picture as the cover, showing the three sisters in the afterlife wearing various colored tights and posing sultry poses, which will definitely catch the reader's eye.

Li Yalin has absolute confidence in this cover, and he can guarantee that as long as readers see this cover, they will definitely be unable to help but click in.

And after they finish reading the first episode, they definitely can't wait to watch the second episode!

It turns out that Li Yalin's choice is extremely correct, if he really chooses an ordinary cover, the three Maoyan sisters will definitely spend more time if they want to get enough attention, and now, just two days have passed, and a cat's eye storm has been triggered on the website forum of the weekly teenager Fiery!
