Salvation Began from Cafe
Chapter 9 Network serialization
“No, I'm not going to put Cat's Eye in a magazine, and if it doesn't come as a surprise, I should have chosen to do it online. ”
Shaking his head gently, Leah Lin denied Ji Nai's words, because he had not considered the issue from the beginning to the end.
Rationally, magazine serials are indeed the best way to heat up a comic book, and use the resources of a great magazine to make your work more familiar to a wider audience.
But the problem is, there's a premise that it takes a lot of time.
Yes, even if the Cat Eye Sisters are an excellent piece, so what? Leah Lin doesn't have many acquaintances in the publishing industry. If you want to publish your work, you must go through a series of processes such as submission approval.
How much time is it going to take? Who's going to make it clear?
If there is no time limit, Lealin doesn't mind spending a little time to contribute, but right now, time doesn't wait, so he has to choose another way - online serialization!
“Network serial? ”
For smart people, serial comics on the Internet is definitely a novelty, because she rarely has access to the Internet, and Xiangfeng doesn't have a computer or a network at home. If the system hadn't brought her ID card and smartphone with her when she arranged her identity for Leah Lin, he would not have been able to do even the search for the world.
When you make money, you have to buy a computer!
No... buy two! One for yourself, one for you!
After experiencing the pain of no computer, Leah Lin set this goal very seriously, but unfortunately he is also poor now, with a cleaner face.
I can't help it, although the system gave Learin the card, but the balance of the card... really miserable.
Bias comics burn money, paper and pen ink don't talk about it, and there is absolutely no shortage of miscellaneous tools. In this case, it is harder to buy a computer than Deng Tian.
All bets, all on the cat-eye three sisters, this is a battle that can only succeed without fail!
Well, it's better to put aside how to make money in the future, and now tell us why Leahlin chose Internet serialization.
Today, the ISAR has become part of the Empire, and while Japanese is still used as the language of the Region, Chinese and script, it has also become a compulsory subject, very similar to Cantonese.
So, as a magazine in the Special Administrative Region of the Island States, there are naturally two types of distribution within the Special Administrative Region as well as nationwide distribution.
Only works of comic magazines released nationwide can qualify as red fire, but similarly, the threshold for such magazines is too high, and they are very troublesome to approve, not Lea Lin's first choice at all.
So how do you get your readers to see a cartoonist's work in the fastest possible time? Here's the answer, what Leah Lin calls a series of networks.
As I said before, the world's technological development is not inferior to Leah Lin's original world, and the Internet is naturally very developed, and major publishers have set up their own comic book websites.
Because not all magazines in the ISAR are available nationwide, and there are many works that are not visible outside the Region, then it is natural for Internet serialization to be the first choice to reach a wider audience.
In other words, the profits generated by network serials are far more powerful than imagined.
The world is very copyright conscious and the Empire has fought hard against piracy, so readers want to see comics, either buy magazines or monographs, or spend money reading them online.
In this case, the serial works of those publishing houses are placed on the web and certainly can be sought after by a wider audience.
This is not just a cartoon, but even a novel, which operates in very different ways, and the difference is limited to details.
But please note that comics on the Internet are not just works in magazines, they are more works that do not qualify for publication, or that are severely chopped but do not want to finish.
It's just that such works are not promoted on the website, and their own quality is not satisfactory. Even if they are placed on the Internet, they are just making a little extra money. More comic book authors can't even return the utility bill.
After all, manuscripts in the cartoon industry are only small heads, really make money, or are copyrighted products, such as adaptive animations, such as production peripherals.
Just a cartoonist to that extent, it's really scarce enough.
Let's get down to business.
Li Yalin chose Internet serialization, mainly because Internet serialization is simple to upload, and if the quality of the work is too hard, it will spread quickly, then it is time for the Cat Eye Three Sisters to further ferment this work.
After all, the threshold for comics is slightly higher than for novels, in which case a good work is more easily recognized by the reader.
So there's nothing left to say. After explaining a little bit about the internet series, Leah Lin quickly chose a website - a comic book website belonging to Elite Press, the weekly teenager Fiery.
The reason for choosing this site is mainly that Elite Publishing's weekly Junior Fiery is one of the largest magazines that can be distributed nationwide, and the traffic on the site is one of the top.
Most importantly, uploaded works on this site do not need to be signed with the site, you can manage your work independently by reviewing it, whether it is charged or free of charge, depending on the author's preference.
In other words, in uploading comics on this website, the author of the comics has considerable autonomy, and the revenue side will also be seventy-three parts of the website, the author side dominates, which is equivalent to using the platform of the website.
In this way, however, such works will not have access to the promotional resources of the website and will operate solely by the author himself.
It seems fair, but in fact, if a non-magazine serial wants to get on fire, you can say infinitely close to zero. Instead of contributing a magazine like Leah Lin, the cartoonist who uploaded the website directly is definitely the first person in history.
Leah Lin's approach is perfectly risky, because he uploaded the work online, basically eliminating the hope of serializing the work, and if the work really sinks into the sea, it won't cause any more ripples.
So in order to ensure a sufficiently high success rate, Leahlin was well prepared.
First of all, he painted a beautiful colour chart for the cover, in which the next three sisters were dressed in tights of all colours, with a lovely look that would definitely catch the reader's eye.
Leah Lin has absolute confidence in the cover, and he can assure you that as long as you see the reader of the cover, you will definitely have to click in.
And right after they read the first sentence, they can't wait to see the second!
Leah Lin's choice proved to be quite correct. If he did choose an unusual cover, it would take more time for the Cat Eye Three sisters to get enough attention, and now, just two days later, a cat eye storm was triggered on the weekly Juvenile Fiery website forum!
