How to become a successful online novel author

From an up-to-date and up-to-date author to a near-god-like famous writer who is guaranteed to write a popular book, there are at least three hurdles.

The first is to sign a contract and complete a work.

There are many unsigned authors who are very worthy of respect, such as ftp and other old authors who insist on writing, such as "World of Might and Magic" before signing, such as "CS-Border Town Prodigal Son", such as "Legendary 3D"... There are many examples like this. 17K has made a hard-working list (the name is tentative) for the purpose of allowing those works that are unwilling to sign or failed to sign for various reasons to still appear in front of readers. Writing is a very hard job, and I have always respected those authors who insist on writing without seeking fame or fortune. This list may change its name, but it will always exist.

Without website recommendations, the road to commercialization is really difficult.

So if you want to make money from online writing, the first hurdle you have to overcome is signing a contract.

First, I like books with a lot of signatures. When I first saw "Border Town Prodigal Son", as an ancient fan, I really felt like tears filled my eyes. This book has been circulated on several websites, and readers are very loyal, but due to various reasons, it has been buried. When I started working as an editor, I once heard my boss say something like this: There are so many good books in the world that are buried by editors. This is the alarm bell that keeps ringing in my ears. It is true that the power of editors on various websites is indeed very powerful now. They can sign books if they like them and not sign books if they don't like them. Many editors never even read books, but just look at the data and decide which books to sign. Every time I read this sentence from my boss, I always feel particularly guilty. When I see those unknown authors who insist on writing, I always feel that they are not doing enough and not doing their best. While there are still 17K recommendation opportunities, we are willing to launch more public works on the homepage, and for those authors who insist on writing, we are also willing to provide various opportunities and give them as much help as possible.

Second, I like to sign books by authors who have completed their works. There are too many uncertainties in online writing. It would be a pity if I signed a contract for a work but didn’t finish it in the end.

Many new authors have very strong ideas and simple and smooth writing style, but lack the ability to control the overall situation. By the end of the book's plot, I am afraid that I don't even know what I am writing.

It is difficult to gather the ability to control the overall situation without going through hundreds of thousands of words.

I have talked with many authors about this. Most books are signed when they are tens of thousands of words long. Although there is an outline, it is difficult for writers to insist on writing according to the outline. In this regard, Drunkard is an example. His outline is very complete and he writes very professionally.

After signing a contract, most authors can write very quickly at the beginning until they encounter the first bottleneck.

This bottleneck is roughly in the third month of writing, when the word count is between 300,000 and 500,000. Many authors may suddenly feel that they don’t know how to write well. Because of various things, I am faced with the point where I have nothing to write. When I was working on another website a long time ago, I once signed a writer to write "Fighting Fantasy" Pencil Sharpener. Once, I got up at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night and saw that his Q was still on. He was also working. In the middle of the book, writing was extremely painful, and he often couldn't write a word for several hours. It is relatively easy for any newcomer to write at the beginning, but in the middle, it starts to feel a little difficult. It is the most difficult when it reaches 70,000 or 800,000 words. The beginning and end are considered good. The number of words and the flow of dialogue have been slow in recent years. After reading tens of thousands of books, few of them start well and end well. Most of the authors who can pass this threshold and have a good ending have successfully completed sublimation. After crossing the first hurdle, I became a famous author. In many cases, I even reached the peak of my career and started writing professionally.

Let’s talk about what is more appropriate for the contracted author to do when he encounters the first hurdle.

When a book is signed, there is always something to be said for it. There has to be a reason why you sign a book, right? Where is its highlight? Why do so many readers like it?

Many authors themselves don’t know why my books are bookmarked and why my books are so popular.

So when you continue to write, it is extremely easy to ignore your strengths and choose your shortcomings.

For many books, subscriptions may be high at the beginning, but then they become less and less, a large number of readers are lost, and the book ends hastily. But some authors persevered and not only became enlightened, but also successfully transformed.

Many authors like to analyze data. In fact, in my opinion, the first half of their works should be analyzed more. Wherever you attract readers, there are your own highlights.

The editor is just an experienced reader. There will be mistakes and omissions. I often say: a good editor does not mean that he can discover all good books. This is God's business, not the editor's. As long as many readers like the book he likes, then he is qualified. When the editor signs a contract, most of them have read the book. The author may wish to ask what the strengths of the book are, and he or she may also ask the readers why they like to read the book.

Communication with readers is very important. Because it is not the editor who subscribes to the author's book, but the reader. Some senior readers have a better vision than editors when it comes to reading books. As for which readers are senior readers, it is up to the author himself to discover.

The first hurdle is roughly like this. Authors who want to write commercially should try to sign a contract first. Online writing is definitely not as simple as imagined, otherwise there would be too many people to eat from this bowl of rice.

From career to career - Three hurdles for online authors (2)

After completing the first VIP work, the author will face two choices, one is to open a new book, One is to retreat into the world. Most of the authors who have retired do not make a living by coding, so we will only discuss authors who are about to open new books.

Opening a new book is the second hurdle for online authors.

Countless gods have encountered obstacles in writing new books, which streaked across the sky like meteors, leaving only one masterpiece and a new work with a beginning and no end.

Many authors fail to notice this and waste the popularity gained by their first book. There are too few known names on the Internet. Many people know the book but not the author. Hao Wai, who wrote "Danddy", was the most subscribed and most popular author that year, but his reputation was not that great. Lan Di Meichen in "The Loneliness of the Master" also encountered this obstacle in the second book. The author who wrote "Legend of the Tycoon" was also an author I admired very much at the time. However, he also wasted a lot of popularity on opening a new book. He was expected to rush to the front line, but fell behind.

On the second book, many people were sloppy. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you can encounter the third hurdle, because the vast majority of people are blocked by this hurdle.

When opening a new book, you need to pay attention to four points:

The first is how the popularity of the old book is transferred to the new book.

Second, how to operate the new book

Third, what to do if you encounter a bottleneck

Fourth, whether to change jobs

Regarding the first question, my suggestion is: study the readership and don’t make a rash transformation.

(Let me make some digressions before. Regarding the author’s fame and the length of the book, it is relatively rough. I will make a special post to talk about it later.)

Online writing is updated very quickly. , I call the year of the Internet a generation. There are new people coming out in every generation, and the old people are replaced by new people.

Many authors are afraid of starting a new book, so they write it to millions of words, which takes several years. In fact, the most suitable serialization length for a book is between 6 months and 1 year. For general works, around 1.2 million words is more appropriate. For super popular works, 2 million words is considered relatively long. Of course, there are different types of authors and cannot be generalized. (I’m talking about the majority here, and there are many exceptions. For example, it took three years to write "Blasphemy" in Yanyu Jiangnan.) For most authors, a pace of one book a year and three books every two years is the most suitable. of.

The time is too short and it is not easy to gather popularity. If you finish a book within three months, readers will not have time to convert it into loyal readers.

A month is inevitable from the time a book is published to when it becomes the most popular book and attracts the attention of many readers. But readers at this time are not very loyal. Maybe they will come when it is updated, and run away when it is slower.

After signing the contract, I went through various recommendations on the website, and the work has about 200,000 words, which is the beginning period of the work.

In this era of quick success and quick decay, 200,000 words is not enough for readers to remember you.

Time, at least three months, is not only the prime period of the book, but also the best time to win the love of loyal readers.

During this period, stable updates and communication with readers are particularly important. Once it is interrupted for a month or two, it will be difficult to enter the realm of Dacheng again. At the end of the day, which may take several months, the appeal of the book itself declines. At the end of the book, the work basically relies on loyal readers to support it.

When talking about loyal readers, we cannot but talk about the issue of transformation. For the author, there are accidental reasons and inevitable reasons for a book to become popular. Some authors are powerful, but some authors are heroes created by the times. No matter how an author becomes popular, since he is popular, he must have his own readership. The readers of authors who write about fantasy may not like to read history, and the readers of authors who write about fairy tales may not like to watch sports. Before the second threshold, I do not recommend that the author make a major transformation. Cloud Sky is a very good example of this.

Many people only saw the redness of Yun Tiankong, but did not see how he became red. Many people only focus on his shortcomings to compare their own strengths. I often say: Everyone has something they are good at. The most stupid thing in the world is to use your own strengths to compare others' weaknesses. Such people will never succeed.

At the beginning of the online gaming boom, Yun Tiankong wrote "Lucky Magic Swordsman", and for the second book, he wrote "Dream Reality". At this time, he has been occupying the list all year round. The third book is "Legend of the Evil God" which has attracted many readers. The Evil God is a book of transformation, from online games to fantasy worlds. The beginning of this book still has the shadow of online games, but it is also like this that readers of "Magic Swordsman" and "Dream Reality" followed it.

The real transformation of Yun Tiankong is "Hong Kong is also a kind of life". This book was commissioned by me. It contains a little bit of Yun Tiankong’s dreams. He wanted to write his own stuff. There is no doubt that, like the blood-red "Gods and Demons", although this book has been well received, its popularity has never been high enough.

Another author, someone used to say that he is one of the two great masters of fictional history. Now, his position remains solid. After "Ming Dynasty", "Guanzhilu" established the status of drunkards as a master of history. Its readership has been very fixed and extremely loyal. The depth of historical discussions has reached the depth of experts.

Readers are always an author’s most valuable asset. Authors who hope to succeed should pay attention to the voices of readers and think carefully before making the transition.

As for the second question, how to operate the new book. My suggestion is: choose a good subject, make an outline, estimate the general plot, and have a word count of more than 400,000 words (if the popularity is high, you can have an expanded plot. If the popularity is not high, you won’t waste too much time and word count. ), first communicate with the editor and your own senior readers.

You can listen to the communication with readers, but the decision-making power is still in your own hands. The communication with the editor is mostly based on recommendations. If there is no special failure in the plot, then even if the book is not as popular as the first one, it will not be too different. The second one will be more popular than the first one. This is the kingly way to be still red. Of course, it is even closer when approaching the third hurdle.

Regarding the third question, if you encounter a bottleneck, my suggestion is: cherish your pen name, no matter how many, give readers an explanation.

The book was opened hastily, resulting in a lack of popularity. At this time, many people will persuade the author to eunuch and start a new work. This can save time and effort, but have you ever thought about it: What kind of readers are you who want to support your book if it is not popular? Be your own truly loyal reader. This group of readers is a precious asset brought about by your hard work on the previous book. To abandon it like this is to ruin the reputation of your first book. A person's reputation is also accumulated slowly. Therefore, if you want to become a god, please be kind to your readers and every book you write, no matter how long or short it is, finish your book and give an explanation to the readers.

If you are afraid of being thrown into the street, there are royal methods, or you can use some domineering methods, such as the toad's ability to seize the body. If the new book is published, tell it decisively. If the new book is published, put it under your pen name. However, this method is not feasible at 17K, so it is still not recommended. Small-scale circulation is possible, and the role of loyal readers will become apparent at this time.

Every author has his own readers. If he sharpens his skills and chops firewood carefully, he will definitely gain more by writing more than 100,000 words.

As for the fourth job-hopping issue, my suggestions are:

1. Choose a good employer first

This is very important. The styles of each website are different. Even if they are both fantasy websites, the style and orientation of 17K, Qidian, Zhulang, Huanjian and other sister websites are still different. Some are sincere and solemn. This is due to the "Reverse Dragon Path" after the website was opened. It is determined by the readership attracted by books such as "Chen Yuan", "Hong" and "Guide Lu". So some books can be popular at 17K, but not on other websites, and some books cannot be popular at 17K, but can be popular on other websites. Of course, with the increase in signed works, the style of the website has also become diversified, and many books that were originally unavailable have a stable readership.

To be honest, whether you are coming to 17K or going to another website, the author needs to pay attention to the composition of the readership. You might as well research the status of books of the same style and type as yourself on the website. Then decide whether to move or not.

2. Prepare high-quality products

If you are sure that your work will be popular on other websites, you must start preparing high-quality products. For authors who are planning to change jobs, there are generally recommended arrangements. Before jumping, try your best to get the opportunity to block the push, this way the risk will be much smaller.

I keep talking about high-quality products, but what is high-quality products? There are high-quality products among commodities, and there are also high-quality products among literature. The real masterpieces are works that have carefully studied the readership structure and website trends, and written them down seriously. It doesn't mean that you can just use a book to fool yourself after changing jobs. This is destroying your own brand. The risk of changing jobs is high in the first place. If you don't show at least the same level as the old book, it is extremely easy to fall into the street. In this way, readership on both sides will be lost.

What does the author rely on? It's the reader.

3. Assess your own strength.

If you are not a particularly powerful person, you should finish writing the second book before deciding whether to jump or not. One book is not enough to make most authors true gods. If they switch to other websites, they will not have enough loyal readers, and it is extremely easy to lose their position.

Of course, society encourages normal mobility, and job-hopping can often lead to more generous treatment. If you can grasp the direction correctly, you will gain greater benefits. What I wrote is just to allow the author to reduce risks and achieve more reliable success.

From career to career - Three hurdles for online authors (3)

This is specially written for authors who are aspiring to professional writing development.

Before reading the following, I would like to reiterate the personal advice of 17K and blood compensation to the author: It is absolutely not recommended that the author resign or drop out of writing before he can obtain a stable income.

Internet author is a brand new profession. In this industry, there are those who have already become famous and earn millions a year, and there are also countless unknown authors who have spent time and money on coding, but have gained nothing.

Speaking of this industry, I will briefly describe its characteristics and prospects, as an introduction and reminder to those who are new to the industry.

Characteristic 1: This is an industry with very low entry barriers.

As long as you can write and have somewhere to access the Internet, you can become an online author. There are hundreds of thousands of fantasy authors writing on the Internet, and there are about 10,000 people who have successfully signed contracts and gained income. Under the constant publicity of various websites, many people entered this industry with the idea of ??gold mining, becoming the driving force behind the development of new blood and online literature.

In 2003, a certain person earned over RMB 1,000 per month!

In 2004, someone’s monthly income exceeded 10,000!

In 2005, a certain person’s highest monthly income was RMB 70,000!

In 2006, so-and-so and so-and-so earned one million a year!

The very exciting slogan attracts batches of passionate and fighting writers to enter this industry. In 2006, the number of books in the entire online book site doubled, and its popularity increased by an unknown amount. While more and more people are paying attention to this industry, there are also more doubts coming from deep thinking: false fire, overdraft, ebb...

Characteristic 2: The income structure is an extreme pyramid.

Authors entered in large numbers, and many people gave up after failing to earn enough income to sustain their lives. Every bookstore has the vast majority of eunuch books. Even if you sign a VIP contract, there are not a few eunuch books. If you look through the VIP bookshelf, you will find that only one third of them can finish writing.

I once jokingly said that today’s Internet writers are similar to athletes. One is that they both live on youth food and leave as soon as they get a vote; the other is that their income is extremely unbalanced.

Famous authors can indeed earn millions a year, and those with the highest subscription can indeed reach 20,000. The income distribution of the entire website is tilted towards high-income groups. High subscriptions, high popularity, high remuneration, high rewards, the higher the income, the more obvious the publicity effect, but most VIPs still continue to operate dismally. Not everyone can be blood-red. This is exactly what most people have not noticed.

Characteristic three: it is updated very quickly and there are few evergreen trees.

When talking about online authors, we almost have to talk about Xuehong. From 2003 to now, Xuehong has written a lot of books. But more authors write one book, one red book, and three books, and then disappear silently.

The real master is the one who writes famous books. There are no more than 50 such authors on the Internet.

If we select 100,000 ordinary authors and 5,000 contracted authors, then we can see how terrifying this ratio is.

If you can’t become an evergreen tree, you can hardly become a professional author.

The prospect of online reading is undoubtedly tortuous, but extremely bright.

I have 120,000 confidence in this industry. Online reading is a trend, and fantasy literature, although there are various problems and worries, is gradually improving. It is actually not difficult to support a family by coding. It's just that there are many people lingering outside the door, and they can't find the solution for a long time.

Suppose I am a newbie and I want to become a professional author. What should I do?

The first is to become a professional reader.

This is very important, very important. Many people are new here and have never been readers before becoming authors. If one book becomes popular, this is due to strength and luck; if the second book continues to become popular, this is genius. I am talking about ordinary authors, not those who are geniuses.

A person's brain is always limited, and the plot he may have worked hard to come up with is unusually mediocre. . Because there are so many things written on the Internet.

If you don’t have enough reading, it will be difficult to keep up with the Internet. If you don’t believe it, you can look at the style of books a few years ago and the current popularity. Not only are the writing techniques different, but the taste is also unusually heavy and salty.

In this way, in order to become a freelance writer, I scanned the top 200 books on major book sites and found that there were some problems with my ideas, so I started to adjust.

Among the many themes, I prefer urban ones. So, I went to various book sites to see what the most popular urban works are recently. Well, some sites are popular for marginalia, such as "Meat, and Happiness" and "Desire, All Naked"; some book sites are popular for The dark and evil genre, "Demagogue" and "Face Makeup"; the light and bright, hacker genre, "Primitive Power", "Magic Pass"; the popular and realistic genre, "Hong Kong is a Kind of Life", "Urban Escaper" and so on.

I found that my personal style is very melancholic, so I chose "Demagogue" as my sample.

Then I started researching the reasons for this book’s popularity.

Why is it so popular? If you read the author's name, you will suddenly understand. It turns out that this person is Tanlang. He is very expert in urban literature, has good writing skills, and has certain life experience.

I suddenly realized that I was only 20 years old and had not enough experience in writing urban literature, so I decided to give up this book and write about urban supernatural powers.

My scope has been narrowed down a bit, and I have settled on urban abilities. As for how to choose materials, please see another post of Blood Reward (talking about creativity).

After re-selecting three or five particularly popular urban supernatural books, I also opened a new book with a total word count of less than 400,000.

Here, I completed the second step and became an author.

Before publishing the book, I wrote 60,000 words and asked some book friends to read it and they gave me some opinions. After I revised it, I obtained the editor’s contact information through various methods and submitted the manuscript to the 17K email address.

Unfortunately, it did not pass the review. But the editor gave me some comments, which I decided to ignore.

I decided to publish my book on several websites.

After updating 4-5,000 words every day, I already have several book friends who have left messages, and it is obvious that they like reading my books. So I contacted them through text messages on the site and chatted with them about the content of the book, so I gained some loyal book friends.

At 50,000 words, you can apply for recommendations on various websites. Then I tried to apply, but unfortunately, I failed again.

So I was a little shaken and decided to be a eunuch.

This is one of the endings, because after becoming a eunuch, you can only open a new book or leave the circle, so we will not discuss this situation.

I passed the recommendation, and then I found that I had a lot more book friends, my group was full, and many of my friends started to give me advice.

After recommendation, my book was signed and I became a VIP author. And then everything. . . . . The editors of each website will communicate with the authors, so I won’t go into details here.

There are very few opportunities for recommendation, and the vast majority of people have no opportunity for recommendation. If I fail to pass the recommendation, then I will quickly compress the plot of this book, try to end it at about 300,000 words, and then analyze the reasons why I am stuck in the street.

The editor does not appreciate it, and the readers have no discernment. . . . . . . NO, NO, none of these reasons can be counted. A successful person always looks for reasons within himself, and it is not acceptable to blame others.

I reopened a new book and harassed all those readers. Finally, I was lucky enough to be on the new book list. Because of my improved writing experience, I also finished a book and my self-confidence increased. I insisted on updating 5,000 words every day, once at 12 noon and 8 pm. Soon, my collection increased, and the popularity of the book also increased. OK, I signed up.

I thought that I had reached the sky in one step. Compared with those books that were not signed, at least I had many more opportunities to be recommended, so I started to write manuscripts and wait for recommendations.

I have now successfully completed the third step and become a VIP author.

During this period, I also did one more thing, which was to submit a manuscript to a publishing house.

If I had not taken this step, then I would have continued to develop on VIP wholeheartedly. As long as I have 2,000 subscriptions, as long as I am not so extravagant, I can guarantee a basic life.

So, I prepared to write a job. Then he was KO'd by blood reward.

This is a joke. The first book can have an average subscription of more than 2,000 (most require tens of thousands of collections. As for the number of these books, please refer to the rankings of major book sites. Additional explanation is needed The thing is: subscriptions are extremely unstable, with an average of 2,000 subscriptions, it takes about 2,500-3,000 subscriptions at most to achieve it, so it is not easy for the person who wrote the first book to take office (it is really too dangerous).

Of course, if the other two things happen, then I can basically be sure: I am one step closer to being a professional author.

First, I published it.

Many people don’t know the market situation of publishing, so let me briefly explain it. It is published in two types, simplified and traditional (mainly sold in Taiwan). We have to thank Taiwan's publishing houses, because they have raised "the most" professional authors. To say the most is not an exaggeration. Because the income of published authors is relatively stable (only compared to electronic versions), with an income of several thousand or tens of thousands per month, even if a book has 6 episodes, it is enough to support half a year.

Many people become professional authors by publishing. Although the sales volume is not good, it will still be cut in half, but as long as they work hard, the average author will do well. Although the competition is fierce, at least it is easier than the online version.

Of course, there are still many unspoken rules for publishing. The tastes of various publishing houses and the influx of more and more authors have led to an increasingly shrinking publishing market, which also creates opportunities for newcomers to professionalize. It brought a lot of difficulties (these problems may be discussed in other posts).

However, no matter what you do, there are risks, right? No one can succeed casually. Why do I always think that making money is so easy?

So while I was taking care of the update of the online version (I must not stop, otherwise the popularity will disappear), I also worked hard to revise the manuscript and prepare it for publication. During this period, I also had a lot of chats with publishing editors and gained some understanding of the Traditional Chinese market.

In the Simplified Chinese market, it is basically difficult for newcomers to get money. Most of them just want to gain fame or satisfy their own wishes. Fantasy authors point to this to make money. It is better to switch to writing romance, youth, urban, and pure works as soon as possible. Historical.

Second, I sold out.

Fortunately, I was bought out by the website for the electronic version (some were bought out for the full version). The price was not high, but as a newcomer, I could also earn some income, and after a few months of accumulation, I suddenly found that I had five figures in my bankbook. But unfortunately, I got lazy. I like this kind of free life. I can live a happy life just by handing in manuscripts every month.

So, I planned to subcontract the manuscript to a gunman. Then, I was KOed by the website.

Of course, this is a joke. On the Internet, a pen name is as precious as life. How could I destroy it so easily?

But a book will end no matter what. Although the buyout allowed me to live a stable life for a few months, I still have to think about the future, right?

Besides, as a newcomer, my writing experience is not enough. The subsequent plot is messy, the word count is delayed, the writing is drooling, and it is not exciting. Anyway, if my grades are not good, I have to prepare and finish it myself first, otherwise I will get kicked in the ass by the editor of the website, which will make both sides look bad.

So, I started preparing a new book.

I first have to look for some posts written by editors and talk about the experiences of veteran authors. I usually need to communicate with them. I heard that Blood Red is about writing one of thirty ideas, and Yun Tiantian wrote the same beginning a dozen times. I was a little scared, but in order to make the next book more popular, I decided to fight...

The best result:

1 The first book was signed, and it was a buyout. Because if you buy out a book, the website will definitely push it to death, otherwise the boss will scold you for losing money;

2. The signing is a share, but there are various recommendations and even opportunities to block promotion.

3 I was published and hooked up with the editor of the publishing house. Because the sales were good, they even made an appointment to write my new book.

4 My new book has inherited the popularity of my old book and is even more popular. (For questions about opening a new book, please refer to other posts on blood rewards)

Medium results:

1 The first book was signed and there was no seal of approval, but at least it got a strong recommendation. Recommended, with thousands of readers, subscription is enough for occasional luxury and support for the family. . . . That's absolutely impossible.

2 There is some publishing, but it is from an agency, the price is relatively low, and because of poor sales, only four copies were published, and they were cut in half.

3 Full Code New Book. . . . . . Or wait for Pujie to be delisted.

The worst outcome:

1. I didn’t sign the contract and insisted on writing. . . . . . . It may be finished, or it may be a eunuch, who knows?

2. I am a eunuch, I am a eunuch, I am a eunuch, I am a eunuch. . . .

3. Unfortunately, my publication failed.

4. When I woke up from the dream, I went to find a job. I occasionally looked at the bookshelf to masturbate.

The longer I stay in this circle, the more I know. Therefore, whether I decide to leave this circle, make a fortune, or prepare to become a professional author, it is my own choice.

However, I understand one thing: the originality industry is the same as other industries. It is difficult to make money without working hard. If you are not convinced, you can read the new book of the once glorious and infinite god, or the battlefield littered with corpses. Website promotion? Haha, I will not be blinded. Zhang Chaoyang started Sohu and made a lot of money. This doesn't mean that I can also open a website and make a lot of money, right? Other people's annual salaries of one million have never reached my pocket, so I'd better write my own words honestly.

Well, after being hit hard by the editor, I suddenly discovered that there are hundreds of thousands of mountains lying in front of me.

To write or not to write, that is indeed a question.

Of course, maybe, I can succeed; maybe, I can also endure hardship; maybe, I don’t want to look at the boss’s dark face; maybe, I yearn for a free life.

So, I decided to write professionally. Before that, the things I need to prepare are:

1. A computer that can code.

2. A deposit that won’t starve to death even if you don’t work for at least three months.

3. A complete exercise plan.

A kind reminder: When you are young, don’t trade health for money, so as not to trade money for health in the future.

Conclusion of Blood Reward: The three thresholds written in this article, the first is signing a contract, and the second is opening a new book, are all real. Only the third way is in your own heart. Just like a door, there are four big words written on the door: professional author. The door couplet on the left reads: Annual salary is one million, and the right reads: Earns nothing. To enter or not to enter, you have to choose for yourself.

No one knows what is behind the door, only those who go in know. All I can give is a description of some situations. If you believe that God rewards hard work and read my post, you might as well give it a try.
