About going premium

Hello, your author Killerbee here. You guys must be confused, angry or dissapointed that I am suddenly going to be going premium.

Yeah, it was a hasty decision as I was originally planning to go premium on 9 Dec, a week later but because I was in need of some money, I decided to have a talk with my content editor, Hao and go premium on 2 Dec.

Here's a short Q/A about it.

1. What is premium?

3. How does an author earn?

It's a question many people don't know the answer of but an author earn with the support of his readers.

101 words count as 200 words, which would amount to 0.02 USD

0.02 USD = 1 Spirit Stone

You will understand that the authors doesn't earn much by this as many people don't read the novel after it goes premium.

4. Why does people don't read a novel after it goes premium?

There are many reasons to it like people don't think that a particular novel is worthy of their spirt stones or they don't have spirit stones to give to the author but the main reason is the pirated sites.

I don't believe people don't know about the pirated sites or use it. It's a normal thing to do when you want to read a novel but don't want to pay the price for it.

But because of that, an author can stop writing a novel just because he didn't receive as much money as he expected and he don't have any other way but to give up writing and look for a job.

I am not judging someone but I am just requesting to all my readers to just use their spirit stones on my novel (if they think it is nice to read) as this way, I can at least earn with my writing.

5. Why don't webnovel do anything about the pirated sites?

Trust me, this is the question I asked my editor when I learned that my novel is being pirated.

He answered that webnovel is doing whatever it can to stop this but piracy is a thing too big to handle suddenly.

They are giving their all to stop these.

6. Am I going to mass release after going premium?

7. How much will I write in this novel?

I think that the Q/A will help you learn more about going premium and how authors earn their money on Webnovel.

Hope it will help you.
