Chapter 98 This is life
The woman nodded and smiled.
"Haha, yes, you may not understand this concept now, but the 'title party' is still very useful. Let me give you a more straightforward example.
For example, a news called 'Eating this kind of fruit is good for the skin', and there is also a title called 'Shock! Men are silent when they read it, while women are crying when they read it'. Which of the news do you think you are interested in? "
"It must be behind!"
"Yes, this is the charm of the title. Often, a piece of news will cause earth-shaking changes in the number of clicks just because of the different titles. This principle can actually be applied to the Internet."
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it turns out that there are so many titles on the Internet."
Tong Yao sighed from the bottom of her heart. She had never thought about the title of the book before. She had just gotten a title that was more in line with the content, and she had never thought about it.
The woman smiled and nodded, then said.
"The second point is the introduction. After the reader has selected the title of interest and clicked on the homepage, he will first read the introduction of the book. If the introduction is not attractive enough, it will still be forked."
"So what kind of profile is more attractive?"
"I don't know what kind of introduction is attractive, but I know what kind of introduction is not attractive. For example, your Nandao Beijian is almost the outline of the whole book, and the whole story has been finished. This is equivalent to a spoiler. Do you think readers are still interested in reading it?
Also, don’t be similar to others. I just looked through the three categories of the starting fantasy, martial arts, and fairy tales. Look, 80% of the introductions are similar. Basically, they all say that the protagonist is looked down upon, then worked hard to practice, and finally succeeded in revenge, becoming a legend and so on.
It would be fine if one book is like this, but it is like this. Readers will vomit when they see the introduction, and they will still go to your content?"
Speaking of this, Tong Yao's face turned slightly red because the introduction content of her "Southern Sword and Northern Sword" and "The First Sword Madman" are probably similar.
The woman seemed to not notice it, and then spoke again.
"The third and most important point is that your online literature circle has just developed, so this concept has not yet been formed. It has been more than ten years of attempts that we have been summarized by some editors. It is called! Golden Chapter Three!!!
Actually, it is said to be three chapters, but this is just a general meaning. It roughly means that the beginning of your book must be well written!
There are two reasons. First, it is easy to sign the contract at the beginning, and it is easy to get the editor's appreciation after signing the contract, and get more recommendations because... the editor will not finish reading your book, but will definitely read your previous chapters!!!
Second, when readers choose a book, they will look at your previous chapters, and then decide whether they are interested or not. So it is recommended to collect one-stop, not interested... just fork it off!!!”
"Then...how should I write the previous chapters to make readers interested?"
"There are many methods. I will give you two examples, such as the dense and exciting points. Let's take fantasy as an example. The previous chapters can quickly improve the protagonist's realm, and then slap the face and take revenge to create the reader's pleasure. After the reader reads it happily, he will naturally continue to read it.
For example, digging a pit ambush, we take supernatural suspense as an example. In the previous chapters, we can construct a supernatural story. Don’t directly explain the reasons and results. We must create an atmosphere full of foggy. When readers read it, they will involuntarily think about the reasons and results of the whole story. As they think about it, they will involuntarily continue to read it down.
No matter which method is, remember to not tell others stories in the beginning. In this way, it will make people look dull and there is no way to continue reading it.”
Tong Yao nodded her head as if she was enlightened, but she frowned and asked in a flash.
"But...what should I deal with the story that happened at the beginning be really dull?"
The woman rolled her eyes.
"Then change your own writing style. The story is dead and people live. Do I need to teach this?"
"Writing? How to change this?"
"You haven't heard of flashbacks?"
Tong Yao was stunned, then she immediately felt embarrassed, and the woman hummed.
"I'll give you another example, for example, your book "Nan Dao Bei Jian", starts with the birth of the two protagonists of Nan Dao and Bei Jian, then they grow up, and then they are framed, and then the end is to get rid of the final boss!
If you change your writing style, the whole book will be much more interesting. For example, first write about the situation after two people are framed, so that readers will be curious about why they were framed? How did they escape from danger after being framed? How did they defeat the final boss after being out of danger? In this way, readers will have to continue reading..."
Stupid!
Tong Yao was stunned!
After listening to the woman's story, she really wanted to write "Southern Sword and Northern Sword" again!
"Master, you are really amazing. I, I, I... I have never thought about it so much. I just want to write whatever I want. No wonder my grades are so poor..."
After Tong Yao finished speaking, she asked another question that she shouldn't have asked.
"Master, you know so much, why can't you even write it before? "
After asking, she regretted it, but the words she said were like water splashed out. It was impossible to take them back. She subconsciously moved the stool back and prepared for the woman to get furious.
But the woman just sighed softly and did not stick out her tongue.
"Oh...this is fate..."
"life?"
The woman raised her head, showed an ugly smile, and looked at Tong Yao seriously.
"Yes, fate! For example, if your "Southern Sword and Northern Sword" is written a few years later, it may not even be possible to sign a contract, let alone publish it. This is your fate.
When I wrote it back then, there were already many great masters in the online literature circle, and it was too difficult for newcomers to make a comeback. There are also some objective factors, such as recommendations. Each category has different competitive strengths due to popularity. In addition, the readers bases of each category are also different. This is more complicated and I can’t explain it clearly in one sentence or two. I will talk about it carefully for you if you have time the next day.”
"Don't let it go another day, or today?"
"I'm tired today..."
"Oh Master, I can't get out of my dreams anyway, I'm idle, too, so why don't you just talk..."
"Can't you get out?"
"Yes... I can't control it in my dream."
"That's it? Then I'll help you?"
The woman said, showing a strange smile, then her face twisted rapidly, her tongue stretched out and her eyes clapped. Tong Yao was not prepared and fell directly from the stool. With a scream, she immediately escaped from her dream.
Chapter completed!
