Silicon Valley
Chapter 229
The major publishing houses set up novel websites, but there are many advertisements on the Internet, newspapers and TV! They naturally know that the first step in the development of the website is publicity, so that other people know that there is this website!
So, after spending millions of dollars on publicity, the website became popular.
But it''s just popularity.
Compare the data to know how bleak these novel websites are!
Through ICQ import traffic and ICQ account authorization, ireader novel website has more than 1 million users, and the daily traffic is close to 300000. What about other websites? Of course, the best is the McGraw Hill fiction website, but their traffic is only around 5000!
Jay Wright, CEO of McGraw Hill, said: "ireader has so much traffic because ICQ is one of its shareholders. At present, McGraw Hill novel website has not formed a strategic partnership with Internet companies, so we are weak in the Internet! But we''ll find a partner soon! By then, McGraw Hill''s fiction website will definitely surpass ireader''s
At this time, the reporter asked: "Mr. Jay Wright, why are you so confident that McGraw Hill''s novel website will surpass ireader''s?"
Jay Wright sneered: "it''s very simple, our works are classic works of famous artists! And ireader novels, hehe, you should know that they have opened the writers zone, the stupidest decision of this century, which has led to the proliferation of bad works on the website! Ha ha, how can such a novel website compete with us McGraw Hill novel website
The reporter hears speech, ask again: "excuse me, which company can McGraw Hill novel website and Internet unite, form strategic cooperative relationship?"
Jay Wright thought about it and replied, "at the moment, we''re talking to AOL!"
Jay Wright was very helpless. Originally, he wanted to cooperate with the global online website, but as soon as he heard what he wanted to do, the global online rejected him directly. Helpless, can only retreat and seek second, choose AOL.
AOL is very happy about the olive branch thrown by McGraw Hill''s novel website. It expresses its willingness to invest in shares and form a strategic cooperative relationship! If a novel website is added to AOL portal, it will undoubtedly enhance the stickiness of users!
At present, both sides have been discussing the issue of equity distribution!
A week later, AOL and McGraw Hill''s novel website jointly held a news conference and announced: "AOL has a strategic stake in McGraw Hill''s novel website, with an investment of 5 million US dollars and a 40% stake!"
The news is not surprising. In the eyes of many people, AOL is the best choice for McGraw Hill to compete with ireader!
AOL provides Internet access services at the source, and has its own browser and portal website, with huge traffic, ranking in the top ten Internet websites!
In fact, after the marriage of McGraw Hill''s novel website and AOL, its popularity really soared in a short time! However, what''s puzzling is that the traffic of the website has decreased very quickly.
Netizens commented: "the book is very good, but it''s too boring! I read online just to pass the time and relax! Many novels on ireader''s novel website are not good at writing, but they just look cool! "
"It''s boring. The creativity of the books in it is not enough. It''s ordinary and doesn''t feel like it!"
"The books in ireader novel website look cool, what high-tech, Superman war, werewolf, magician, robot, monster, alien, doomsday, computer hacker and so on, it''s really too drag!"
"Even the" writers'' zone "has not been opened, so bad!"?!! Many of my friends are writing books on ireader. I''ll go and support them. "
“……”
McGraw Hill.
"Mr. Jay Wright, according to our analysis of the reader''s comments, we conclude with a very serious problem!"
"Say it Jay Wright sank.
"Our novel website only accepts the works of famous writers, but does not accept the works of ordinary people, which is an important reason for the loss of traffic on our website!"
Jay Wright frowned and said, "is our strategy to build a boutique novel website wrong?"
"Yes, that''s right, mainly because the types they like to watch don''t match the works of our website! Now the Internet are a group of young people, they like more imaginative novels, even if the writing is poor, they don''t mind! For example, the most popular novel biochemical crisis at present contains viruses, zombies and various high technologies, which gives people a sense of coming to the end of the world. It''s quite fascinating! "
"Ireader''s novel website has over ten thousand writers and tens of thousands of novels because of its" writers zone "! Although many of them are rotten works, as long as one tenth of them stand out, it will be enough for readers to read! And their website''s various rankings, just can be used to screen the book good or bad! In addition, the location of various recommended resources on their website is changed every week, providing readers with some excellent new books
After listening to it, Jay Wright pondered for a while. Since netizens don''t pay for the works of famous writers, they can only imitate the ireader novel website, so that more people can participate in the creation. There are always suitable works for readers to like.
"Well, we''ll also open the writers'' zone!!" When Jay Wright said this, he seems to have forgotten that he just laughed at ireader''s "writers zone" as the stupidest decision of this century at a news conference, and now he even wants to plagiarize
"Good
McGraw Hill''s fiction website soon improved, opening a "writers zone" that allows anyone to register as a writer.
However, after the opening of this function, there are not many registered writers!
And those who have registered as writers, their works are so bad that they can only discredit the McGraw Hill fiction website!
"Mr. Jay Wright, ireader is well paid and has a lot of traffic. Writers make more money writing books than we do here! Those writers who think they are good writers will publish their works to ireader fiction website. Unless they can''t sign up for VIP, they will publish their works to our website! " One employee whispered.
"Is our McGraw Hill fiction website dedicated to picking up trash that others don''t want!" Jay Wright''s face suddenly changed when he heard this. He slapped the table and yelled.
The staff bowed their heads and did not dare to look at him. Obviously, the CEO was already angry!
As an American publishing giant, when did McGraw Hill become a garbage collector?!!!
