Rebirth: Dominate The World, Starting From The School Network

Chapter 119 Author Stratification

Hearing what Lu Yi said, Wu Wenhui and others felt a little more confident.

The loss of website users once made them feel extremely anxious.

I wonder if I made a mistake by launching a VIP payment model.

But now Lu Yi's words have given them reassurance.

"Actually, your self-doubt is understandable."

"The emergence of a new thing is always accompanied by controversy."

"But as the saying goes, the truth becomes clearer and clearer. Don't worry about other things. Just move forward in your own direction. Time will eventually give the answer.

"Moreover."

"I heard that some time ago, your website's top author 'Xue Hong' updated a new chapter, and users directly crashed the website's server.

"From this point, it can also be seen that users are not resistant to the VIP-payment model."

"Of course, the premise is that the author's work must be exciting enough."

Lu Yi said with a smile.

Lin Tingfeng nodded and said: "Director Lu is right, we are a bit blind."

"The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear."

"And, haven't you noticed?"

"Other literary websites, after you launched the VIP paid reading model, are actually gradually following this model.

"Actually, to put it bluntly, the ultimate goal of website creators or investors is to make money. 11

"According to the previous reading model, the website could not make money, the author had no passion for writing, and the quality of the works was poor. In the end, the only way to end was the website going bankrupt."

"And now you have launched a paid reading model and found a profit model for online literature websites. This can be said to have brought a new dawn to online literature websites."

"Although the Fantasy Literature Society is still operating at a loss, at least people can see that you can make a profit. This alone can give investors confidence."

"Believe me, Fantasy Literature will continue to lose money. As the number of website users continues to increase, Fantasy Literature will become more profitable, and Shibao will eventually turn losses into profits.

Lu Yi said decisively.

In a previous life, the Fantasy Literature Society later not only became profitable, but also became a listed company.

"Director Lu, there are now many online literature websites in China, and they have also launched VIP payment models. Online authors have more places to go, and it is no longer just the Fantasy Literature Society that can earn royalties."

"You also said before that for online literature websites, the most important thing is that the author is the foundation and the content is king."

"Now that good authors have more places to go, how can our Fantasy Literature Association recruit more authors?"

Lin Tingfeng asked.

"Actually, there are many ways to snare authors."

"The most important thing is to protect the interests of the author."

Lu Yi said with a smile.

Lin Tingfeng said: "Please give Director Lu a detailed explanation."

Lu Yi nodded.

"Guarantee the interests of authors so that they can stay on the website and have a stable income."

“For example, we can divide authors into several levels, and depending on the level, the contract share ratio will be different.”

"Your current contract share ratio is half for the website and half for the author, right?"

Lin Tingfeng and the others nodded.

"Then, if we regard the 5:5 ratio sharing model as the most common contract sharing model, we will temporarily call it an A-level contract."

"On top of the A-level contract, we can add a long-term contract author. Above the long-term contract author is a great author, and above the great author, there is a platinum author."

"According to this model, we will conduct a screening and stratification of authors."

"We can clearly see that in the circle of online authors, there is a pyramid model."

"That is, the largest number of people must be ordinary A-level signed authors. They can be qualified to sign contracts, but whether they can make money in the end and how much royalties they get depends on their own abilities."

"In my opinion, although the threshold for online authors is very low, talent is actually very important."

"Some people are born to eat this kind of food. Maybe a book can make them a god."

“And some people, no matter how hard they work, may end up being just ordinary A-level contracted authors, barely making ends meet.

"Haha, I'm going too far, let's go back to what I said before."

0…Please give me flowers…

"A-level ordinary signed authors will always be the most numerous.

"Upward, there are long-term contract authors. They can make money, but they can only make a small amount of money."

"More advanced, great author. This is one of the best! Only with enough talent and hard work can you become a great author."

"For great authors, it is not difficult to make money writing novels. They can get enough support from die-hard fans, and it is easy to make tens or millions a year."

"As for the last platinum writers, they are the pyramid of online writers. They stand at the top and have a panoramic view of everything.

"After clearly distinguishing the levels of authors, we can formulate corresponding sharing ratios based on different levels."

0

“For example, if you sign an A-level contract, you will be split 5:5 with the website.

“When it comes to long-term appointments with authors, it’s also 5:5, but the website can give them some resources, such as recommendations, etc.

"As for great authors, the share ratio with the website can be set at 6:4, or even 7:3. Because their works can be sold for money, which is unmatched by A-level contracted authors, so we can give them a higher Share ratio, because they can make more money for the website.”

"As for platinum authors, the share ratio with the website is set at 8:2. Authors at this level actually earn only a small part of the money from the share, and the bulk of their income comes from copyright development."

Lu Yi said a lot in one breath, which made Lin Tingfeng and Wu Wenhui's eyes shine.

Before this, they had never thought of dividing authors into several levels.

After thinking about it for a moment, they discovered that such a hierarchical model can encourage online authors to continue creating and promote the development of the online literature industry.

Think about it.

If you follow what Lu Yi said and stratify the authors, the higher the level, the greater the benefits you will get.

What author doesn’t want to be a great writer?

Don’t want to become platinum?

This is not only related to one's own interests, but also a symbol of status.

One is a great author, and the other is an A-level signed author who can barely meet the website's signing requirements. Can the two be the same?
