It’s fake, fake, absolutely fake.

My best friend is a writer signed by Douban and has been writing for 5 or 6 years. I myself am also a contracted writer in Jinjiang, and I belong to the abandoned kind. It can be said that the two of us represent two types of Internet writers, but we have reached the same goal by different paths. Neither of us has a monthly income of tens of thousands, or even no income. So what the questioner asked is definitely false. There are two ways to make money by writing online novels: 1. Rewards from readers; 2. Selling copyrights. It’s not as easy as imagined

The first type, readers’ rewards:

This requires writers to create works that cater to readers’ tastes with a high degree of adaptability. Female videos such as CEO, Palace Fight, Time Travel, Celebrities, Pets, etc. Nowadays, readers’ tastes are getting more and more bizarre, and it’s not easy to keep track of potential readers. If the work cannot capture readers, no one will follow it, and naturally no one will reward it, let alone spend money to read the paid chapters. Also, some people join the ranks of online writers because they have a dream of being a writer, want to create some warm and soulful works, or want to show off their writing skills. These authors generally will not change their original intentions in order to cater to readers, so most of them will end up being self-reliant and self-admiring. Naturally, there is no need to mention making money from readers.

The second way is to sell copyrights

This way of making money is more advanced and even more difficult at night. My best friend is dedicated to this field. She is a full-time creator, has a master's degree in Chinese language and literature, and is a high school essay model. My writing skills are quite high, I have read a lot, and I am also a young writer. She has more than a dozen works on Douban, her ID is "Time Cong Cong", and they are all created according to the TV series model. The stories, characters, and text are all carefully crafted, which is not the same concept as the traditional understanding of online writing. . Her goal is to be able to sell the rights. She said that if she sells a TV series, she can earn hundreds of thousands or even millions. However, so far, she has not succeeded, and the income is very small. She cannot support her own life, and sometimes she has to live in old age. She herself said that if she persisted for a while without success, she would give up writing and take the teacher's exam.
