…

Of course, in addition to these domain names that often cost hundreds of thousands or millions.

Lin Hui also spent $300,000 to buy more than a dozen domain names that he thought had pretty good meanings.

After purchasing these domain names, the balance on Lin Hui0010's card dropped sharply from US$18,521,500 to US$10,521,500.

In other words, Lin Hui spent a total of US$8 million to purchase these domain names.

Although the expenses are not small.

But Lin Hui believes these sites will be worth every penny in the future.

Moreover, Lin Hui has now found new sources of income besides software income.

Although it is difficult for Lin Hui to earn US$8 million quickly just by relying on online article subscriptions.

(After all, by 2019, Wuxiaworld’s annual revenue was only more than 36 million yuan)

But the problem is not big. Compared with the traditional online writing operation model, Lin Hui has his own thinking.

Lin Hui prefers to generate revenue through membership fees after establishing a complete membership system.

Instead of relying on the traditional subscription model.

Once the membership system is established.

Lin Hui feels that it is not particularly difficult to raise US$10 million or even US$20 million in a short period of time.

Of course, although the idea is beautiful, the actual implementation is still difficult.

The most critical issue is the establishment of the membership system.

And "rights and interests design" is a very important factor in the process of establishing a membership system.

A good rights design can make users feel more involved in the platform's membership system.

The more energy and financial resources a user invests, the harder it is to give up the value of membership on the platform.

Although Lin Hui has never done any specific equity design before.

But he knows very well how to design equity.

After all, he has been tortured by various Internet trainings.

Moreover, the experts who have given several Internet training courses are Mr. Ma, known as the "Fox of Zhongguancun".

The cadence and strange accent were something Lin Hui would never forget.

So much so that even after he was reborn, Lin Hui could still recall a lot of the training content at that time.

When it comes to equity design, it mainly involves stratification of equity.

The stratification of rights and interests must be clear.

The differences are controlled within a reasonable range, which highlights the differences without making them too big.

To put it bluntly, it is to give users a way: if they go up to a higher membership level, they can really enjoy more valuable benefits, but this step up is not too troublesome.

When designing rights, it is very taboo that the rights enjoyed by the highest level and the levels below appear to be the same;

In addition, it is also taboo to make users feel that it is difficult to upgrade from the existing level to the sky.

Furthermore, equity must have a fixed part and a non-fixed part.

Fixed rights and interests are the basic rights and interests of the membership system and must be unified across the platform and basically unchanged;

Non-fixed rights and interests are policy rights in the membership system, which are generally closely integrated with marketing policies and launched from time to time.

…

Although Lin Hui can speak the truth clearly.

But this does not mean that Lin Hui can be used directly.

Regarding the establishment of the membership system, Lin Hui only has a rough outline in his mind.

But Lin Hui also had time to think slowly.

After all, the membership system must rely on a new novel website to be implemented.

It is a bit nonsense to rely on the current two-tier system of web-based websites to achieve this.

When it comes to building a novel website.

Naturally, Lin Hui would not use those domain names bought for hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.

Among the more than ten domain names that Lin Hui later bought, one of them was "GREYFOREST".

Lin Hui decided to build the website on this domain name.

After all, this domain name is only one letter different from the name "GRAY FOREST" used by Lin Hui when he developed several small games.

And both GREY and GRAY have the same meaning of "gray".

It can be said that the two names are almost the same, which may be a coincidence.

It's because of this coincidence.

Lin Hui decided to build a brand new novel website on the domain name grayforest.

As for the specific construction work.

Still relying on outsourcing/outsourcing.

Lin Hui registered an account on NCER and posted the website building task and filled in the corresponding Party A requirements.

In Party A's requirements, Lin Hui highlighted that the task deadline was 3 days.

Lin Hui has also built a website and knows that the 3-day deadline is a bit tricky.

But there was no way, Lin Hui was in a hurry.

time is money.

In order to rush for time, Lin Hui promised in the project notes that he was willing to pay an extra 20% premium as long as it could be completed within 3 days.

For every day completed in advance, the premium will be increased by 5%.

The time limit wasn't entirely because Lin Hui was in a hurry.

It was also because Lin Hui was afraid of being scammed when looking for an outsourcing company in the past.

You don't set a tight outsourcing deadline.

The outsourcing team will dare to outsource layer by layer for you.

This layer of outsourcing/packaging will not only make the task/project inefficient.

Moreover, the money actually paid/packaged was not actually spent.

In the end, don’t say you get what you pay for, if you can get what you pay for, that’s pretty good.

After all these layers of outsourcing, the victim still looks for the outsourcing person.

The money was spent, but the results were mediocre.

It may even be better for the employer to show up in person.

Subcontracting is almost likely to occur in China.

Lin Hui can't say whether there will be subcontracting abroad.

But I guess there is a high probability that the world is as dark as a crow.

In order to avoid such a situation of being cheated, Lin Hui could only restrict his time.

Maybe it's the power of money.

Not long after the task was released, the task was taken over by an American team called AZUREOCEAN.

After privately discussing many details with the leader of the AZUREOCEAN team.

Afterwards, we negotiated the price and agreed on a base amount of US$50,000.

This price is still within Lin Hui’s acceptable range.

Lin Hui and the AZUREOCEAN team have reached a clear outsourcing agreement.
