Unlike other people's sales surge on the first day, Lin Han's book "I, Robot" seems dull, with similar sales every day. If you sell tens of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, you can hardly see much of a downward trend.

The first week of 2017 will soon pass, and various gossip magazines and video bloggers in the entertainment industry are intensively conducting inventory work for 2016, but the work in the literary and artistic circles has quietly begun in the new year.

The sales volume of the first week of the new year, with many fans of the 1995 and 2000 fans, won the championship without any suspense. The sales volume of 690,000 copies on the week, of which 240,000 copies were as high as 240,000 copies on the first day. The decline every day afterwards was quite large, and the trend was not big.

"I, Robot" also stubbornly ranks 6th on the new book sales list and 35th on the book sales list with its weekly sales of 250,000 copies. This is the best performing new writer so far.

The sales volume in the first week exceeded 250,000 copies, and the sales volume every day did not change much. Such stable sales were very terrifying. Everyone is optimistic that it will hit 500,000 or even millions of sales.

This is the only science fiction novel on the new book sales list. Lin Han was not very excited. This result was not even enough for him. A classic work that can be passed down from generation to generation should have higher sales and higher status.

However, since his own identity cannot be compared with Asimov, he has certain disadvantages in sales and can only be carried out through the fermentation of reputation in the later stage.

If he is an ordinary author, he can write such a book for a lifetime, but Lin Han is not satisfied with it. What he is thinking about now is his new book. After the publication of "I, Robot", he has been free for the time being, but the new book must be put on the agenda.

There was too much content in my mind, and Lin Han couldn't think about it at all. He didn't understand whether he needed to write more popular science fiction or niche science fiction, so he fell into a tangle.

At this time, everyone in the science fiction nebula group was actively discussing Lin Han's book. These science fiction authors have realized the difference between geniuses and ordinary people. The two consecutive works are so vivid that even those who originally held grudges can't find anything to say.

If the gap is not big, you can still be jealous and dissatisfied; but if the gap is too big, you can only look up and say a few words in private. On the contrary, no one has questioned whether Lin Han will write science fiction novels.

"It's no exaggeration to say that Lin Han should have become famous in one book now, right?"

"The pre-sale is so high, 250,000 copies sold in a week, and the sales volume of one million is definitely good. Now how many of our science fiction novels can be sold at this level."

"Hurry, hurry up, those who want to publish and publish books are here to hurry up. While the science fiction craze is not over yet, those publishers will definitely be interested in it. Maybe you are the next Lin Han."

"To be honest, there are really publishers asking me for a manuscript. This time I have given royalties directly, not the kind of manuscript payment. Unfortunately, I am not good at it, and I am so anxious."

"I'm similar to you. My manuscript was stuck all the time, and Shancheng Literature and Art Publishing House has never decided whether to publish it. But now after seeing that science fiction novels can sell so many books, it has been approved there, with the first print of 30,000 copies, and then the later print it according to the situation."

"This is a good thing. Don't just make up for the numbers and end this golden age of science fiction early. Let's take advantage of this time to negotiate with the publisher."

This is not Lin Han's credit, he is just a fuse to the hot market. The power of science fiction is gradually developing with the improvement of education level. Now "Rural Teacher" has caused heated discussions. While "I, Robot" is selling well, it directly uses the three major laws of robots to conquer picky science fiction readers.

Any golden age requires the unremitting efforts of all authors, and it is impossible for one person to do it.

Lin Han was very happy to see this situation. It is really good to be happy for everyone. Only when there are more and more readers of science fiction novels and more people will read the books they write.

This is what it means to have no water and big rivers, and the big rivers have water and small rivers.

After seeing Li Wenyuan online, Lin Han sent his own emoticon, "Are you there? Come and have time to have tea together in the afternoon. I want to discuss the new book with you."

"You are writing a new book so quickly. You are going to be a model worker! I thought you were going to promote the new book. It sold so well. Will the publisher not let you attend any events? For example, signing, interviewing, etc."

"I don't need to do publicity. I see that many netizens are recommending this book themselves, and that is the best publicity. Model workers are not considered to be, they just don't want to make themselves too idle."

Li Wenyuan typed enviously: "It's good to have an agent. My first two books were cheated by the publishing house. See you at 2 pm. Do you know Yanfei Tea House?"

"I have map navigation, so I will definitely not be late, don't worry."

Lin Han replied confidently that after the book "I, Robot" was sold well, he no longer had to worry about survival problems. He could do what he wanted to do and write the book he wanted to write.

Even if it is difficult to buy a house in Yanjing, Lin Han doesn’t have much sense of belonging here. Just rent a house. If you become famous in the future, money will definitely come to you.

After chatting with Li Wenyuan for a while, he found an email, which was a message sent by the official Amazon staff.

"Dear Mr. Lin, congratulations to your new book "I, Robot" for successfully passing the review. No infringement was found. You have complete online sales rights. Therefore, you are very happy to notify you that the novel has been officially launched on Amazon E-book City. Readers around the world can pay to download it for a fee of US$4.99, and the remaining market sales prices are automatically converted to RMB or US dollars."

Previously, the Chinese version of "I, Robot" has started to be sold physical and electronic versions in Amazon's online bookstore, and the sales momentum is still very good.

Subsequently, Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan did not choose to contact foreign publishers directly, but contacted Amazon directly, handed them the English version of the book for review, and provided a series of copyright proofs, copyright proofs, etc.

The work efficiency there is very fast, and now you can download e-book versions online. Amazon is the world's largest chain online bookstore, especially its Kindle, which is the number one brand of e-book readers, occupying most of the global e-book market.

It is a very correct thing to sell the English version of "I, Robot" on Amazon. At least Amazon has corresponding websites around the world, which can allow more people to see.

The purpose is not to make money, but to gain higher popularity. On the surface, this book seems to be very cheap, and you can buy an e-book for only five dollars, which will definitely be damaged in terms of short-term interests.

But from the perspective of long-term interests, this is a better choice. If a paper book costs $50 but can only sell 100 books, and a kindle e-book can sell 10,000 books, then which one is better?
