Seven Cats novels earned advertising revenue by displaying advertisements on the platform, such as placing advertisements on the novel reading page, at the end of the chapter, or at other suitable locations. The Seven Cats novel was a free reading app. It used advertising fees to subsidize writers, but writers earned less through advertising. For example, they could get about ten cents an hour of reading, and there was a time limit every day. If the work passed the review, Seven Cats would sign a contract with the author. After reaching an agreement, the author could become a signed author of Seven Cats, and then they might receive advertising revenue and other related benefits.
After the authors from multiple websites under Seven Cats merged, the contracted authors from Seven Cats Chinese Network, Zongheng Chinese Network, and Wonderful Fictions Network all logged into the writers 'zone from the Seven Cats Writers Center. Due to the large number of merged authors, there might be a situation where the pen names overlap. The login using pen names will be temporarily suspended, but other login methods can still be used normally. In addition, if you refer to the information in the Seven Cats Chinese Network system project, the author's login address is: <anno data-annotation-id ="2fd11000 - 4fd2 - 4f10 - 4f10 - 8f1111111124"></anno></anno>
The Seven Cats Author Zone was a platform for original writers under Seven Cats. Seven Cats had merged the author sections of their websites, including Seven Cats Chinese Network, Wonderful Fictions Network, Zongheng Chinese Network, Brain Hole Planet, and so on. After the authors of multiple websites were merged, the authors signed by these websites would all belong to the authors of the Seven Cats platform. In this zone, authors had many functions to use: 1. ** Log-in **: The authors of the Seven Cats Chinese Network, Zongheng Chinese Network, and the Wonderful Fictions Network will log in from the Seven Cats Writers Center when they enter the writers 'section. Due to the large number of authors combined, there may be a situation where the pen names overlap. The log-in with pen names will be temporarily stopped, but other log-in methods will be normal. 2. ** Work Management **: After logging into the Seven Cats Author Center, you can manage your works on the Seven Cats Chinese Network, Zongheng Chinese Network, and other sites on the work management page. 3. ** Interactivity Management **: You can manage and reply to comments on the interaction management page. However, for the time being, you can only manage comments on Seven Cats 'free novels. 4. ** Revenue Management **: You can view the revenue of the works of multiple sites under Seven Cats on the Revenue Management page. 5. ** Text correction function **: The authors of the Wonderful Fictional Network and the Chinese Network can use the text correction function when uploading chapters. However, the authors of the Wonderful Fictions Network could not manage their books or upload their chapters through the Seven-Cat Author's Assistant for the time being (This function will be launched on April 12, 2024). The Seven Cats author section covered many types of novel creation, such as romance, time travel, fantasy, campus, urban, martial arts, online games, and so on. The authors had the opportunity to earn royalties by writing novels here. The 8th of every month was the day Seven Cats paid royalties.
If Seven Cats 'authors only took full attendance, based on the minimum salary of 31 yuan per 1,000 words and writing 4000 words per day, their monthly income (calculated based on 30 days) would be 31×4×30 = 3720 yuan. However, they did not find out if there were any lower income situations for Seven Cats 'authors. For example, if they did not reach full attendance, they could not know the exact minimum income.
The Seven Cats Author's Assistant app was a custom-made mobile writing software for literary creators on the platform. Its functions covered many aspects: - ** Writing **: It supports the creation of works. You can easily publish, edit chapters, and save drafts. You can also view the work update calendar. - ** Data **: Creators can view data such as the average Retention rate, cumulative collection rate, cumulative reading conversion rate, 10,000 words preservation rate, chapter Retention rate, etc. At the same time, they can manage the income of royalties, view monthly income summary, daily income trend, cash tips, etc. - ** Home page **: You can view announcements, review reminders, work notifications, income notifications, essay competition activities, and other important news notifications. You can also manage comments, including viewing and managing work comments, and like, reply, and highlight comments. The software had many advantages. For example, the home page could display important information, the writing page could make it convenient for creators to create and manage works anytime and anywhere, the data viewing function could help creators treat the data of works rationally, the income management could make it easy to check monthly income, and it could also manage personal basic information, account passwords, and so on. In addition, regarding the common problem of uploading works, the operation process was to first open the software, click on the creation of the work, select the publishing platform, enter the name of the work, content and other details, and then submit for confirmation. Furthermore, the software had bug fixing and optimization functions.
The authors of the Seven Cats Chinese Network, Zongheng Chinese Network, and Wonderful Fictions Network all logged into the author section from the Seven Cats Writers Center.
Seven Cats had the Seven Cats Author's Assistant app. In this App (version 2.27.10 and above), you can check the new author level and check the relevant information on the "My" page. The App could be used to assist in operations related to writing novels, such as saving manuscripts to the Seven Cats Author's Assistant before submitting them.
If one wanted to become a contracted author through the Seven Cats Author's Assistant, they usually had to submit an article of 20,000 words and an outline of about 1,000 words. The steps were to send the manuscript to Seven Cats 'official email and patiently wait for Seven Cats' initial and final review. You can also use the backstage to send the book directly or submit it to the editor. To send the book directly from the backstage, you need to upload 30000 words to apply for a contract.(Currently, the Author's Assistant does not support the application for a contract. You need to use a computer or browser to log into the Seven Cats Author Center and click on the works management to apply for a contract.) The number of words for internal submission is generally 8,000 - 10,000 words. You can sign the contract after the final review. After signing the contract, you will receive a message within 1 - 3 working days. You can also try to add an editor to QQ communication (If you have writing experience, it will be easier to get signed if you simply introduce yourself). 7Cats Chinese Network implemented a full-time guaranteed contract signing method. According to the number of words, the contract price would vary. They were willing to share the risks and profits with the author. During the growth stage of the work, there was a basic guarantee of the guaranteed remuneration. After entering the mature stage and exceeding the guaranteed remuneration, they would use the sharing model to share the profits.

An outstanding writer's Zhang had an average of 500 to 2000 downloads, and his monthly income was around 2000 to 3000 yuan.

There were also some who calculated the fee based on the total number of clicks, but the calculation method might be slightly different for each website. The monthly remuneration was determined by the number of readers, ranging from 4500 to 22500 yuan. If the work was published in a V, the author would receive a full attendance award every day. It would be around 1,000 yuan a month. This was also the income of most authors. The novel "Primitive Law" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
The income rules of Qidian writers were mainly composed of the following aspects: 1. ** Contribution to the account **: - For high-level VIP readers, they would get 2 cents for every 1,000-word author they had, while for beginner VIP readers, they would get 3 cents for every 1,000-word author they had (the author would get 2 cents, and the website would get 1 cent).
