Chapter 437 Free Section

Chapter 437 Free Section

The failure experience of Tengsheng Group is worth learning from.

Zhu Xianhe noticed this.

Jiang Siming also noticed the same.

"Siming, you are right. The failure experience of Tengsheng Group is indeed worth learning from!"

"Just, what do you want to do?"

"Is it possible that we will also make it fully open and free of charge?"

"You know, we don't have the user base of Ningchen Group!"

"If it were really made fully open and free, the author's income would definitely be greatly reduced."

As the chairman, Zhu Xianhe has naturally figured out Ning Chen's website operation model.

They charge through the same routine as mini program games.

Watch a video and read as many chapters of the novel for free.

It does seem to be free, but in the final analysis, what you earn is actually advertising revenue.

Ning Chen has such a big body, of course they can afford it.

For a normal paid subscription, it costs a dime for a reader to read a 5,000-word chapter.

According to the traffic volume of Yingtian Group, the best achievement of the most popular author is one hundred thousand subscriptions for one chapter.

Converted into money, one ticket can earn 10,000 yuan.

However, for other paid websites, assuming that the advertising revenue for each reader reading a chapter is only one cent, but they have a million readers.

Therefore, the last chapter can also earn 10,000 yuan.

Of course, this refers to the top authors.

Of course, for an ordinary author, the data would not be so good.

However, this shows that Ningchen Group is confident that the author can maintain his income.

Because of its size, even if it is a free novel, it will not have a big impact on the income of the great author.

However, Ying Tian does not have such strength.

Once they become free, the number of readers will definitely not increase.

It is difficult for free websites to compete with Ning Chen.

After all, Ning Chen is the free ancestor, and no one can compare with him.

The number of readers has not increased, and the free income is not as high as the paid ones, so the first ones to run away must be those great authors.

Although middle and low-level authors are the cornerstone of a website, if a website wants to continue to develop, it must have countless middle- and low-level authors join in.

However, great authors are an important factor for a website to truly stand.

A great author may be able to bring hundreds of thousands of loyal readers.

Moreover, to evaluate a website, it still depends on whether there are many experts.

The more masters there are, the stronger the website is.

Once a great author leaves, these loyal readers will be the first to be lost.

With the great author gone, there will be fewer similarly excellent books.

There are fewer high-quality books, and readers will follow suit.

Ever since, it will enter an infinite loop.

Therefore, the great author must not leave.

Likewise, as income falls, some mid- and low-level authors will leave.

In the end, there were fewer and fewer authors, and fewer and fewer readers, until the website was completely cool and then acquired.

Therefore, it’s free, so don’t try it easily before you have enough volume.

"That's right, Director Zhu, I'm not talking about directly converting the company into a free website."

"But do a pilot!"

Jiang Siming explained.

Do a pilot?

Zhu Xianhe was stunned.

What does it mean to do a pilot?

Obviously, he didn't quite understand what Jiang Siming meant.

Jiang Siming didn't show off and explained immediately.

What he means is that the company still needs to continue to do high-quality products.

As the largest website, as long as they insist on high-quality books, even if they are impacted by free sites in the future, as long as the high-quality books are still there, they will not worry about losing readers.

Especially those who are true fans.

They will not give up just because the novel is charged or free.

For them, spending hundreds of dollars to read a free novel is no big deal.

Therefore, quality novels must exist.

However, free is a big impact that they must face.

In this case, you can temporarily open up a free section.

Test the waters by converting some of your books into free books.

As for how to charge for free books?

You can copy Ning Chen’s method and earn advertising fees directly.

Or you can become a member and earn membership fees.

Both of these are methods that Ning Chen has already used, and they have been proven to be effective.

They can test the waters with some books by middle- and low-level authors.

Of course, you can also put some old books by great masters in it.

Especially for some old masters, their books from ten or even twenty years ago can be included.

The books written by these veteran masters have been around for a long time, and it is impossible for them to be recommended by any website.

If you want to make money, you have to rely on fans.

If it can be placed in the free section, and a wave of recommendations can be given to them to earn one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, I think they will not mind.

After all, who can have trouble with money?

Therefore, opening a separate free section to try it is indeed a feasible solution at present.

"Well, Siming, your idea is good, we can try it!"

After listening to Jiang Siming's words, Zhu Xianhe also had a smile on his face.

In fact, he himself knows that as long as he produces high-quality products, although the company's profits will decrease, overall, it will not have much impact.

However, the impact of free novels is too strong for them to ignore.

Therefore, we must pay attention to it.

The reason for holding this meeting was that Zhu Xianhe didn't really think about coming up with any countermeasures. He just wanted to seek comfort.

If it doesn't work, the worst possible scenario is to sell the company.

His website has been in business for so many years, and now it can sell for more than 10 billion.

But, after all, I had worked hard to run it, so I didn’t want to sell it just like that.

He still wants to try it.

Maybe, after trying it, the company can make new progress.

Companies need innovation, and so do novels.

Failure to innovate and simply resting on one's laurels will only lead to failure in the end.

Therefore, Zhu Xianhe thought of giving it a try after hearing Jiang Siming's suggestion.

A painless attempt, even if it fails, it will not have much impact on the website.

Why not give it a try?

"Si Ming, let you take the lead in this matter!"

"In one month, we will open up the section and screen out the novels that enter the section. Is there any problem?"

Zhu Xianhe asked with a smile.

Jiang Siming did not expect that Zhu Xianhe would suddenly give him such an important task.

Although this suggestion was made by him, he did not expect Zhu Xianhe to accept it.

Even if he accepted it, he actually let him take the lead.

According to normal logic, even if you take over, if you want someone to take the lead, you have to find a senior employee.

Jiang Siming was a newly promoted middle-level manager, so he couldn't get his turn.
