In Seven Cats novels, if one published a novel without signing a contract, there was no money to be made. It was the same for many novel websites. If one didn't sign a contract, they wouldn't have a monthly guarantee, no full-time attendance, and no corresponding remuneration for readers who paid to read.

Qidian signing a contract did not mean that he would have money. If the contract was split, three months before the novel was published, after completing the corresponding number of times, he would receive a monthly creation benefit of 1500 yuan. Three months later, he would have to look at the novel's number of readers. The more the number of readers, the higher the income. Otherwise, the income might be very low or even in the single digits. If it was a outright contract, it would also need to be decided according to the specific situation. Moreover, in order to receive royalties at Qidian, in addition to signing a contract, the work had to be published as a VIP work. At the same time, it had to meet a certain number of words per month (such as the requirements for a publishing author to write 80,000 to 100,000 words per month) in order to receive remuneration such as the Full-Attendance Award. In addition, even if the contract was signed and published, the amount of royalties that could be obtained was still related to the quality of the work itself, its appeal, the number of readers, the data, and other factors.

After signing the contract, Seven Cats would receive a full attendance award. The full attendance award was calculated at 6 yuan per 1,000 words. If he could update 4000 words a day, 30 days a month, the full attendance award would be 6×4×30 = 720 yuan. According to the minimum salary of 20 RMB per 1,000 words, if he updated 4000 words a day, he would receive a minimum of 3120 RMB per month. However, if there was no other commission (based on the click rate, popularity, and word count), the income would be relatively small if he only received the full attendance award. Therefore, the worst income might be the full attendance award. The specific amount was related to the number of words he updated every day.

If the contract was split, the author would get 1 cent for every 1,000 words, and the readers 'tips would be split equally with Qidian. The guaranteed income could only be obtained after the sale. Moreover, it had to be applied to the editor to meet the minimum guarantee conditions. The words created during the minimum guarantee period would be bought out and given to the starting point. In the first three months of the novel's release, after completing the corresponding number of times, he would receive 1500 yuan per month.

They would only give them out when they accumulated more than 200 yuan. In addition, there were also full-attendance awards, wireless sharing, half-year awards, and other channels (such as Qidian Taiwan Station, Yunzhong Bookstore sales).
