Chapter 9 Internet Serialization

"No, I'm not going to put Cat's-Eye in the magazine to serialize it. If nothing unexpected happens, I should choose to serialize it on the Internet."

Shaking his head gently, Li Yalin denied Chino's words, because he had never considered this issue from beginning to end.

Logically speaking, magazine serialization is indeed the best choice for popular comic works. Using the resources of excellent magazines, one can make one's works familiar to more readers.

But the problem is that there is a prerequisite, that is, it takes a lot of time.

Yes, even if the three Maoyan sisters are an extremely excellent work, so what? Li Yalin has no acquaintances in the publishing industry. If you want to publish your work, you must go through a series of processes such as submission review.

So how much time will take, who can tell clearly?

Without time limit, Li Yalin would not mind spending a little time submitting, but now, time does not wait for anyone, so he can only choose another method - online serialization!

"Internet serialization?"

For Tono, online comic serialization is definitely a new thing, because she rarely goes to the Internet, and Xiangfeng's family does not have a computer or Internet. If the system had not brought his ID card and smartphone when arranging his identity for Li Yalin, he would probably not have been able to even search for the world.

When you make money, you will buy a computer no matter what you say!

No...buy two! One by one, Tomoe!

After feeling the pain of not having a computer, Li Yalin set this goal very seriously. Unfortunately, he is also very poor now, and his pockets are cleaner than his face.

There is no way. Although the system gave Li Yalin a bank card, the balance in the card is really terrible.

But it’s very expensive to draw comics, so I won’t talk about paper, pen and ink. Miscellaneous tools are absolutely indispensable. In this case, it’s harder for him to buy a computer than to reach the sky.

All the bets are on the work of the Three Sisters of Maoyan. This is a battle that only allows success but not failure!

Well, it is better to put it aside in the future, let’s talk about why Li Yalin chose to serialize the Internet.

Today, the island special zone has become part of the empire. Although Japanese is still used as the special zone language, Chinese and writing have also become compulsory courses, which is very similar to Cantonese.

As a magazine of the island special zone, it is naturally divided into two types: special zone distribution and national distribution.

Only works of comic magazines published nationwide are qualified to be said to be popular, but equally, the threshold for such magazines is too high, and it is very troublesome to review. It is not Li Yalin's first choice at all.

So how can readers see the works of cartoonists as quickly as possible? The answer is as above, which is what Li Yalin said about the Internet serialization.

As I said before, the technological development of this world is not inferior to that of Li Yalin’s original world, and the Internet is naturally very developed. Major publishing houses have established exclusive comic websites.

Because not all magazines in the island country and special zones can be published nationwide, many works are not visible outside the special zone, so if you want these works to be exposed to more readers, online serialization will naturally become the first choice.

It is better to say that the profits created by online serialization are far more powerful than imagined.

The world has a very strong sense of copyright, and the empire has vigorously cracked down on piracy, so readers want to see comics, either buy magazines or single books, or spend money to read on the Internet.

In this case, if the serialized works of those publishers are posted on the Internet, they will certainly be sought after by more readers.

This is not just a comic, but also a novel. The business models of the two are almost the same, and the difference is limited to details.

But please note that the comics on the Internet are not just works serialized by magazines, but in fact, more are works that are not qualified to publish, or are tragically cut but do not want to finish.

However, such works are not promoted on the website, and the quality of them is not satisfactory. Even if they are placed online, they are just making some extra money. More comic writers can't even pay for their water and electricity bills.

After all, the royalties in the comics industry are just small heads. What really makes money is the product of copyright attached, such as adapting animations, and making peripherals.

It’s just that there are really few cartoonists who can reach that level.

Back to the topic.

Li Yalin chose to serialize the Internet mainly because the online serialization is simple to upload, and if the quality of the work is excellent, it will spread quickly. Then it will be the time when the work of the three sisters of Maoyan will be further fermented.

After all, compared to novels, the threshold for comics is still slightly higher. In this case, an excellent work is easier to be recognized by readers.

So there is nothing to say next. After explaining the Internet serialization for Tono, Li Yalin quickly chose a website - a comic website affiliated to the weekly boy Fiery, a subsidiary of Elite Publishing House.

The reason I chose this website is mainly because Elite Publishing House’s weekly Fiery is a large-scale magazine that can be published nationwide, and the website traffic is considered to be the top one.

The most important thing is that the uploaded works on this website do not require a contract with the website. As long as you pass the review, you can manage the works independently. Whether they are charged or free depends entirely on the author's preference.

In other words, when uploading comics on this website, the comic author has considerable autonomy, and the income will also be open to the website. The author accounts for the majority, which is equivalent to using the website's platform.

However, in this way, such works will not be able to obtain website promotion resources and can only rely on the author to operate it themselves.

This seems fair, but in fact, if non-magazine serialized works want to become popular, it can be said that they are infinitely close to zero. Cartoonists like Li Yalin who do not contribute to magazines but upload directly to the website can definitely be regarded as the first person in history.

Li Yalin's approach can be described as adventure, because uploading his work to the Internet basically eliminates the hope of serializing this work. If this work really sinks into the sea, it is afraid that it will not cause any ripples again.

So in order to ensure a high enough success rate, Li Yalin made sufficient preparations.

First, he drew an exquisite color picture as the cover. In the picture, the three sisters in the next life were wearing various tights and posing in seductive shapes, which would definitely catch the readers' attention.

Li Yalin has absolute confidence in this cover. He can guarantee that as long as readers who see this cover will inevitably click in.

And just after they finished the first episode, they would definitely be eager to watch the second episode!
