Chapter 1754 The first day of going online
In the week before this, by virtue of free membership and reduced download prices, not only did "Flywheel" Music, whose reputation was ruined, not lose users, but it also continued to grow steadily.
However, after "WeListening" announced that it would be free in the next few days, the user growth rate suddenly stagnated.
Everyone is waiting to see how this free model will turn out.
At 8 a.m. on October 31, the free version of “WeiTing” music was officially launched.
As soon as the free version went online, the number of downloads increased rapidly.
In less than an hour, it has already reached the top of the APP download rankings.
The number of downloads reached more than 400,000.
Mai Liwen also downloaded the free version of the "WeListening" platform immediately.
Download and install, and after clicking in, you will see a refreshing blue interface.
APP home page banner, big advertisement "Free from now on"!
One line of large characters is very eye-catching.
Mai Liwen is disgusted by just looking casually on the homepage.
I'm so numb that I can click on An Ran's songs at any time.
And it was the song "Don't Want to Grow Up" that became a hit at the music festival. Although this song is in Xiazhou dialect, it did not affect its popularity in Xizhou at all.
From the next day, the song became a hot song on the charts.
Although it is not as fierce as "Country Road Take Me Home", it is still making steady progress on the list.
This song is not like other songs. After the first few days, it will become weak, and the downloads and popularity will slowly decrease.
Perhaps because it combines so many elements, including classic symphonies, everyone has always been very interested in this song.
The number of downloads every day is stable at around 100,000.
This is quite scary.
And because of this song, it also started a craze for people to learn Xiazhou dialect.
The representative figures are headed by Mancini and Rioste.
Especially after reading An Ran's masterpiece "Fortress Besieged", the two old guys were so shocked that they vowed to learn the Xiazhou language and spread this good work to the whole world.
Miles is another.
He has some basic knowledge, but he is also a dabbler and doesn't know much.
This completely piqued his interest.
In addition to studying songs all day long, I also studied Xiazhou dialect like crazy.
The power of role models is infinite. Under the leadership of these people, with almost no publicity, everyone began to learn Xiazhou dialect.
This is something that An Ran did not expect, but it is also something that An Ran is very pleased with.
Mai Liwen's head hurts when she thinks about these nonsense.
But since you clicked in, let’s listen to it.
Let’s see how to listen to music for free.
As soon as she entered, she saw a prompt pop up on the song.
"Hello, free trial for 60 seconds. If you want to listen to the full version, please click on the ad after 60 seconds."
Damn it!
Mai Liwen was shocked.
She didn't expect An Ran to be so shameless as to insert an advertisement in the middle of the song?
She thought there would be an advertisement at the beginning and another at the end, but she never expected that this guy would give you an advertisement every 60 seconds.
Isn’t this just seducing people?
If it is a good song, remove the 20 to 30 seconds of the intro and you can still listen to the song for 30 seconds.
After 30 seconds, it’s the climax of the chorus.
Do you listen or not?
If it doesn't sound good, that's fine, but the songs of people like An Ran have the ability to make you listen to them.
Mai Liwen clicked on the song and listened to it for 60 seconds.
Sure enough, when the time came, a dialog box popped up, "To support genuine creation, please click on the ad to enjoy the full version."
The ad time is displayed in the lower right corner of the prompt.
It’s a tolerable 15 seconds.
Mai Liwen shouted: "This song is 60 seconds old, and it just hit the sweet spot."
You can't touch it, and you can't scratch it. It is estimated that 80% of people will click on the ad without hesitation to support that damn guy Enron.
It's just like watching a movie. It piques your interest, but suddenly it's gone.
Then I tell you, if you want to continue reading, it’s okay.
Please click on the ad.
Mai Liwen stared at her phone in shock. This operation was so outrageous. No wonder "WeiTing" dared to engage in such a mode.
No matter whether it is in front or behind, it is actually not a good idea.
It's unrealistic for you to expect people to take the initiative.
But it’s different now.
Let me ask you if you want to order.
This guy is just disgusting.
Holding back her displeasure, Mai Liwen clicked.
The 15-second commercial went by in a flash, and the time didn’t seem so difficult.
The important thing is that if you only watch the commercial once, you can listen to the song again.
So comfortable.
Mai Liwen fell into deep thought, this seemed to be a good idea.
Enron pioneered a new method of free model. Should their "flywheel" do the same?
She knew almost without reading that this method could work.
Just as he was thinking about it, Bill called, "Mai Liwen, what do you think of their model?"
"Very good!" Mai Liwen didn't hide it this time.
"If we follow this business model, we will probably be beaten to the point of being unable to stand up!" Mai Liwen said in a solemn tone, reminding Bill to make plans in advance.
Bill pondered for a moment, "You mean... we also do it for free?"
This is very obvious.
Mai Liwen sighed, "Mr. Bill, we can't do it unless we do it. You have already seen how popular the free version of 'WeListening' is now. If we continue to wait and see, it is likely that the other party will seize the market."
As one of the bosses behind the scenes, Bill felt a little uneasy.
But it’s not easy for him to make a decision at once.
Bill said: "Let me think about it."
After all, it’s a bit of a mystery whether it’s free.
But just like Mai Liwen said, if it is later, the other party may seize the market.
Then the gain outweighs the loss.
Among netizens, everyone is full of expectations.
Early in the morning, everyone started downloading with great enthusiasm.
A little girl on the roadside opened the app after downloading it and clicked on An Ran's "Symphony No. 40 in G minor" without hesitation.
After the prelude, you will see a prompt.
The little girl clicked in without hesitation and watched the 15-second advertisement carefully.
There is only a flat river without any advertisements.
The little girl was pleasantly surprised and said to her partner next to her: "Hey, Nancy, it's really free. I only watched the 15-second advertisement. From now on, I can listen to this symphony at will."
Nancy looked over.
The little girl smiled and said: "Stop using 'Flywheel' and use 'Wei Ting'. It's so good. It doesn't cost a penny."
Nancy's eyes widened as she watched her partner order another song. After watching the commercial for 15 seconds, she listened to the end.
Click once when you're done. This time you don't have to watch the ads, just listen to them.
Nancy was immediately interested.
Who doesn’t like free stuff?
"Vivian, take a look at the download. Is it free?"
Chapter completed!
