The income of novices varies from person to person, depending on many factors such as the quality of the novel, the number of readers, publication and publicity. But generally speaking, the income of novels was not very high, especially when one first started writing novels. On Qidian and other online novel platforms, the average monthly income of a novice writer ranged from a few thousand to ten thousand yuan, depending on the quality of the novel, the number of readers, publication, publicity, and other factors. However, if the novel was well written and had a large number of readers, it might earn a higher income. However, even if the income was not very high, writing novels was still a very interesting and challenging hobby. Through writing, one could improve their skills and creativity.
