Chapter 57: The Trilogy of Becoming a God - The Ultimate Trash Person Part Four

  Mr. Hao took another sip of tea, and everyone held their breath, because Mr. Hao had a habit that every time he revealed something, he would first drink some tea to calm himself down.

  Teacher Hao said with a smile: "Looking at you being so obedient, I'll share my years of experience in promoting web novels with you, hehe..."

  Clap, clap, clap... No teacher's class is as enthusiastic as Teacher Hao's. This isn't even a classroom anymore, it's like a rally! And they're even applauding, haha.

  Among the new faces that came this time, two of them are engaged in network marketing. I heard from friends that Teacher Hao is going to talk about the promotion of online works today, so they took a leave to attend class.

  They think, all are promoting things online, then there must be something that can be understood, the stone of other mountains can polish jade!

  Teacher Hao said, in the last class, I taught you how to be a top-notch scumbag. What makes me happy is that our classmate Wu Dalang was able to put it into practice and boldly disguised himself as a beggar at the school gate to truly experience life at the bottom. This is great! Even Wen Shuang rewarded him with 100 yuan for his serious attitude towards being a scumbag, which is worth learning from all of you.

  Clap clap clap...... Wu Dalang's face turned red like the sun that had just risen in the morning, unexpectedly this silly guy still knew how to be shy!

  Mr. Hao's one sentence directly established Wu Dala's identity as a beggar prince at Xida.

  Alright, in this lesson, I'll be discussing something that all of you want to know about, which is how a new author can promote their new book.

  The students below have gone crazy, Wen Shuang is great, long live, long live. We don't want to discuss it superficially anymore. We need to discuss it in depth now.

  The students below have already cooperated very tacitly, the girl shouted "Wen Shuang Dada", and the boy followed by shouting "Long live, long live", hehe, the atmosphere of the whole class was extremely fiery.

  Teacher Hao always calls himself "Wen Shuang" when talking about the internet, saying that's the only way to get into the right state. Teacher Hao first broadly categorizes the books on the website into two main categories: male-frequency books and female-frequency books.

  He also divided all the books into six levels, namely red book, fire book, signed book, unsigned book, new book and eunuch book. Wen Shuang said that for different books, different promotion strategies must be used, otherwise either being banned or having twice the effort with half the result.

  Ye Qing nodded in agreement, thinking to himself that what was said was really good. Although he also forwarded things online indiscriminately, he didn't have the same level of insight and vision as Teacher Hao, nor did he possess the grandeur and leadership qualities of a great general.

  Wen Shuang was very satisfied with the atmosphere below, took a sip of tea, and continued. What's the difference between Red Book and Fire Book? Classmate Wu Dalang, please answer.

  Wu Dalang is now very active, standing up and scratching his hair: "They are all awesome books!"

  Teacher Hao gestured for Wu Dalang to sit down, saying that Wu Dalang's answer should represent the views of most people. In fact, it is a very superficial understanding. The Red Book and the Fire Book are still quite different.

  The red book is better than the fire book, because the red book must be a fire book, but the fire book may not become a red book. Many fire books were once very popular and strongly promoted on the whole site, but after reaching one million words, they gradually became forgotten by readers who couldn't stand the huge contrast between the beginning and the end, and many even abandoned reading them altogether.

  Hehe, fellow students, do you know how far you are from becoming a grandmaster? Don't be content with just signing up, that's only the most basic step towards becoming a god.

  Let's put it this way, your book has been signed, to use the words of our cultivation world, only the initial stage of Qi Refining has been successful. In other words, you have a spiritual root and can cultivate, but I won't say more, you also know that the chances of a super rookie cultivator like me dropping out in the first layer of Qi Refining are quite high?

  Wu Dalang, you tell everyone.

  Wu Dalang this time, finally can very confidently loudly answer: "Big!"

  Teacher Hao nodded, the signed and hung opportunities were already so big, those that hadn't been signed, heh heh, just like us ordinary people who can't cultivate immortality, even a first-level Qi cultivator could instantly kill us.

  Because you didn't sign anything, there's no chance to get it. Anyway, let's not digress. Let's stop talking about signed books and unsigned books for now. Let's continue discussing new books and banned books instead.

  A new book is like a young sprout, with infinite potential and hope. Each new book is like a newborn baby, it may grow up to be a beggar, or a monarch, or anything in between from beggar to monarch.

  Clap, clap, clap... The students below couldn't help but express their emotions, although they hadn't reached the point of grabbing each other's hair and clothes. However, applause was unavoidable, and many students' hands were red from clapping excitedly, completely unaware of it.

  But a book, the first 30,000 words, or even just the first three chapters, can already determine the future of this book. First of all, how important are the first three chapters, everyone should be relatively clear about that. You say your later parts are very wonderful, what's the use? People have already given up after reading the first one or two chapters.

  This is not the most terrible thing, if it's just a deserted text, your book can still be classified as a slow heat type, and there's still hope for it. We all know that there's such a slow heat book that later became a super red-hot book, and the author naturally became a super god. However, what I'm going to say next is that whether your book is a slow heat or not can be determined by just the first three chapters.

  Perhaps your previous chapters were not exciting enough, so you suffered a bit, but slowly you can also become popular. However, your previous chapters must have the potential to become a god, that is, they must have spiritual roots.

  The fiery girl excitedly raised her hand and said: "Teacher Hao, we can't understand such abstractions. Just tell us what kind of books have spiritual roots!"

  Wen Shuang took another sip of tea and said two words, leaving everyone stunned. Some who had struggled for years were moved to tears. Indeed, hearing his words was more valuable than reading books for ten years!

  What Wen Xiang said about those two words is creative. For a book with uncreative ideas, even if you force yourself to write it, readers won't be able to force themselves to read it.

  Alright, new books can also be divided into books with spiritual roots and those without, and the eunuch books have a lot of nuances, which will be discussed later.

  Let's start with the new book, aren't we supposed to promote our own book? What if you go directly to the great god's book review and shout out loud? Classmate Wu Dalang is here to tell everyone.

  Wu Dalang bit his thick lips, looking a bit embarrassed, and said: "I, Wu Dalang, have done this before. Not only was I scolded by the fans of the great god, but I was also banned from speaking for a week, hehe..."

  It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just keep going and you'll get it eventually. We can try a different approach later, let's take a break for now.

  Let's start with new books. As I said earlier, new books are divided into two categories: those with spiritual roots and those without. So when you read a new book, after reading the first three chapters, you can already determine whether this book has spiritual roots or not, that is to say, how good the creativity of this new book is. If it doesn't have spiritual roots, then communicating about it is just a waste of time for both parties.

  For creative and awesome books with a good plot, such books can at least be signed, if the author works hard to update some more, they may even be recommended, put on shelves, or go further, all of which are possible.

  And you made friends with this book when it was still an infant, and you said that when this book becomes very popular, will the author forget about you? Classmate Wu Dalang comes to answer this question.

  Wu Dalang scratched his chubby cheeks and said, "It won't happen. If the author is such an ungrateful person, even if his book becomes a bestseller by luck, I, Wu Dalang, can guarantee that it will never become a classic!"

  Clap, clap, clap... The enthusiastic applause from everyone has already confirmed Wu Dalang's statement.

  Wen Shuang continued, dividing the new book into two categories. Our promotion skills are now available because our energy, time and resources are very limited, we must use good steel on the blade.

  For authors with great potential, we can collect, recommend and reward their new books. The more creative their new book is, the stronger our support will be. I believe that Wen Shuang is definitely an author who can become a super god, he must be an author with conscience and respect from others. Otherwise, even if he can be popular for a while, he will never be able to last forever.

  As for the uncreative and mediocre new books, all we can do is post a few water posts, get to know them, and that's it. We really don't have the energy to become bosom buddies with hundreds of thousands of new authors and their books. However, after we've spread the word about heroic posts, there are indeed some promising new authors who come here to collect recommendations and support, and we should take a look at their books when we have time to see if they have any spiritual roots or not, whether it's heavenly spiritual root or hidden spiritual root, and give them some suggestions. If wasting a little bit of our own time can help create a bestselling book, then I'm all for helping new authors.

  Here is the translation:

  "Next, let's talk about a promotion method that works for all new books - becoming the first fan. If you become the first fan of a new book this month, your name will appear on the list of first fans of that book next month, which is equivalent to promoting your own book. Because when others click on your name, they will see your book."

  Let's talk about signed books and unsigned books. Signed books, whether they're popular or not, at least have a spiritual root, even if it's just a rotten one. So what we need to do is find this spiritual root. One way to do this is by using it as a reference point. Sometimes, someone else's book idea can become a small highlight in our own book. I'm not telling you to plagiarize, haha! In other words, who would let my students plagiarize? Plagiarism means admitting that you have no creativity of your own and letting others' horses run wild in your sea of knowledge. My students are not so unambitious.

  When you find hundreds of brilliant ideas from hundreds of signed books, you will have your own more wonderful ideas, and your book will be stunning.

  Having done so, you can freely point out the creativity and highlights of a book, and also point out the shortcomings and mediocre ideas of a book. You say, if you speak up in this book review, won't you be treated like a VIP? And if you subtly recommend your own book, will others still try to silence you, or even turn against you?

  Alright, classmates, next we're going to talk about the most exciting topic of how to communicate with Huashu and Hongshu.
