Time flew by like a flash, and in the blink of an eye the day came when Gu Jia held a birthday party.
In the early morning, Zhong Xiaoqin got up early and started dressing up. Today was Gu Jia's thirtieth birthday, and Gu Jia was her best friend, so it was natural for her to dress up and attend her best friend's birthday party.
Thirty is a special age. As the old saying goes, "You stand at thirty, you have no doubts at forty, and you know your destiny at fifty." Today, Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but think of her thirtieth birthday.
Although those memories were not particularly good, and could even be said to be very bad, now that everything has passed, I seem to have regained the feeling of being in love again.
No!
It should be said that it is sweeter now than in the past!
This year Xu Huanshan planned to celebrate an unforgettable birthday for Gu Jia and invited many relatives and friends to attend the birthday party. As a good friend, Zhong Xiaoqin will certainly not be absent.
Not only will she not be absent, she is also planning to take half a day off in advance to help Gu Jia entertain the guests.
"Chen Yu, remember to pick me up at noon. Today is Gu Jia's birthday. There are probably a lot of guests coming. Let's go there early to help him."
Before Zhong Xiaoqin left home, she did not forget to remind Li Jie and ask him to pick her up at noon.
"Yeah, I understand. When I get downstairs from your company, I'll call you in advance."
"Okay, then I'm going to work."
Zhong Xiaoqin walked out of the house with brisk steps. She now feels that her husband has been suspended from work, which seems to be good. At least he is not as busy as before. He does not have to work at the desk until midnight every day. The communication between the two people has also increased, even the sex life.
The frequency is also much higher.
Although she is relatively conservative in sexual relations, how could a thirty-year-old woman have no desire at all? The two of them are a legal couple, and their affairs are legal and reasonable.
Therefore, this work stops well, stops wonderfully, and stops like a croak!
As for the source of income, Zhong Xiaoqin was still a little worried. After all, the expenses for two people living together are not small, plus the mortgage, if there is no income, their little savings may not last long.
However, Zhong Xiaoqin is not worried at all now because she saw the subscription record displayed in the writer's backend.
Although the book written by Li Jie has not been on the shelves for less than a month, and the specific royalties have not yet been shown, but just looking at the new subscriptions every day, we can roughly infer the royalties for that month.
There is no doubt that Lord of Mysteries is a good book. In the main world, this book set many records and almost firmly occupied the top list of the sales department. Even after the book was completed, it was still ranked in the top ten.
The development pattern of this world is very similar to that of the main world. It is only natural that this book will become popular.
On the first day it was put on the shelves, the number of subscriptions exceeded 20,000. This is because Li Jie’s author account is a newcomer and he has no fan base. He relies entirely on recommendations on the website.
After it was put on the shelves, Li Jie has updated it more than 20,000 times a day. For online writers, updating is king. Many books that originally performed poorly have slowly become popular through updating.
Website editors also particularly like authors who update a lot. For example, the average subscription of one book is 1,000, and the average subscription of another book is 2,000. If the former can guarantee 10,000 words of updates every day, the latter can only maintain 4,000 words of updates every day.
, then the number of recommendations for the former will not be less than that for the latter.
What editor wouldn't love a book like Li Jie's that has many updates and high subscriptions? Naturally, it has to be highly recommended. After it was put on the shelves, this book has almost never been recommended. It has been recommended by almost all kinds of large and small.
All over.
Those recommendations that are not listed are not because they are not listed, but because they are too late. After all, this book has been on the shelves for less than a month.
The recommendation positions are constant, which greatly increases the exposure. More and more people have seen this book. Subscriptions have been rising, and the number of subscriptions has been rising steadily. Recently, it has almost exceeded 30,000.
What is the concept of ordering for 30,000 yuan?
According to the standard of 4 points for 1,000 words, for each chapter of 2,000 words, the subscription income for a chapter is 8 cents, and for each chapter, the subscription website and author receive 50/50 cents. One subscribing author gets 4 cents, and 10,000 subscribing authors can get 400 yuan.
An average subscription of 30,000 yuan is 400*3. The daily subscription income is 1,200 yuan, and the monthly income is 36,000 yuan.
This is based on 4,000 updates per day, and Li Jie updates 20,000 words per day. This number needs to be multiplied by 5, and the monthly income is already nearly 200,000.
Of course, with the increase of new readers, the real income will be much higher than the above figure. Coupled with other miscellaneous channel fees, the monthly manuscript remuneration exceeds 200,000, which is basically adequate, or even 300,000, which is
Not necessarily impossible.
200,000 per month is more than ten times the salary in the past, so why should we worry about the source of income?
According to the current situation, the sales performance of this book will get better and better, and it is not impossible for the income to be equal to that of Gu Jia and his wife.
Therefore, Zhong Xiaoqin was not worried about the source of family income at all, and she even came up with the idea of writing a novel.
By then, both husband and wife will rely on the keyboard for a living, which will be a good story.
This is not a fantasy. Zhong Xiaoqin's major in college was related to writing. Her writing skills are quite good. She writes the speeches for the company's annual meeting every year.
She had never thought before that she could make money by writing online. Now, stimulated by Li Jie, she wanted to give it a try.
However, in view of Li Jie's great success in writing a book, she planned to quietly go to the village without asking for help. She would secretly write a book to test the waters without telling Li Jie.
If the test succeeds, she will tell Li Jie. If the test fails and the new book hits the streets, then she will pretend that such a thing never happened.
It's just that she underestimated Li Jie's insight. Although Zhong Xiaoqin concealed it very well, she seemed to intentionally or unintentionally asked for advice on writing skills. This alone exposed her little thoughts.
See through, don’t tell.
There is no need to point out this matter. It is good that Zhong Xiaoqin succeeds in writing a book, but even if it fails, it does not matter much.
Success is the icing on the cake, failure is irrelevant.
Therefore, it is better to let her give it a try and experience the daily life of an online writer.
After Zhong Xiaoqin left, Li Jie got into the study after breakfast, but he did not start coding mode immediately. He still had nearly 300,000 words saved in his computer, so it didn't matter if he took a day off.
Now he has more important things to do. When he went to pick up Zhong Xiaoqin from get off work the day before yesterday, he had a vague feeling of being spied on.
Li Jie has experienced many worlds. Even if this world does not have the bonus of cultivation, his spiritual sense is twice that of ordinary people. Since he senses that someone is snooping, he must investigate.
