Become a webnovel Author: How to guide for beginners

Web fiction is written works of literature available primarily or solely on the Internet. A common type of web fiction is the web serial. These are stories uploaded on a chapter by chapter basis by the author, usually on a weekly basis. If you have read any fiction books(usually romance, fantasy or one) through apps, chances are you have come across a webnovel before. These apps provide some chapters of the book free(usually the first five) and the rest you will only get access to after you have paid to open it with virtual coins.

Did you know that you can become a webnovel author? Pick an app of your choice and sign up to become an author on the app. You can upload your work while it's ongoing or if it's already completed.

Wondering how you'll get paid? Earlier I mentioned how you need virtual coins to read a book on the app. In order to obtain these coins, you need to use real money to purchase it. Most apps pay their author 50% of revenue generated from people who read your books. Each app offers other incentive, especially to authors who sign their books on the site exclusively.

Here are three apps that you can publish your book on(completed or ongoing) and get paid.

1. Moboreader: is an online reading platform that specializes in translating Chinese novels into English. They also provide both paid and free ebooks including romance, werewolf/vampire, billionaire, marriage, action, adventure, fantasy, young adult fiction, fanfiction, LGBT, classic, xuanhuan, wuxia novel & more original works. To have your work published with moboreader, you need to sign a five year non exclusive contract with them. This means that your book will be on the moboreader app for the duration of the contract and you can't delete it until the contract is up. The good news is since the contract is non-exclusive, you can publish your work anywhere else you wish.

Visit the moboreader website for more information or you can contact their editor on Facebook; https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100031982357971


2. Goodnovel: offers two type of contracts both exclusive and non exclusive. The exclusive mean you can't publish your book on any other site(there are juicy incentives if you choose this route. Visit the site for more info). When it's non-exclusive, you get to publish on several other webnovel apps of your choice or any other publishing company you want.

The author receives 50% of the net share from both exclusive and non exclusive stories.

3. Popink: it's structure is similar to the other webnovels above. They offer both exclusive and non exclusive contracts with juicy incentives for authors who sign up for the exclusive contracts. Unlike goodnovel and moboreader, popink requires you to give 10,000 words away as free chapters. Chapters after the 10,000 mark are locked and then paid for by the readers.

You can find popink on Facebook for more information, alternatively, you can visit their site HERE

How to make money as a blogger

There are many ways to make money from your writing skills besides publishing a book. One of such ways is creating a blog of your own. In this post, I will walk you through the steps of how to own a blog of your own and make income from it. But first,                               WHAT IS A BLOG? ?  A blog i s a website or part of a site that contains regularly-updated content about one or multiple topics. The term is short for “web log,” which means to log information on a website.  The content on a blog usually comes in the form of articles on individual web pages called blog posts. The article you’re reading is one such example. A blogger is the individual who writes up these contents and manages the blog. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BLOG AND A WEBSITE? A blog works to present new content periodically, while a regular site provides static information about a person, a group, or a subject. i.e a blog is updated at regular intervals(twice a month, once a week etc) while a website
