Bonjour fellow readers!
This is Yorasu the content creator. To be more specific, I am a fan translator for Chinese web novels.
Before going deeper, let me introduce this niche to the community here.
Chinese web novels are getting more popular these days that this niche has grown to receive tens of millions monthly page views.
Why they are so hot nowadays?
To English speaking readers, Chinese web novels are weed to them. Nothing serious or professional novel writing. Just casual and nice reading, enough to relieve your daily stress from study and work.
Why I say that steemit is the best platform?
Let me briefly explain the current scene of this niche. Translators monetize their work through 3 channels.
- Ads revenue aka Google Adsense
- Donation via Paypal
- Patreon
steemit as a platform tackles the 1st channel, ads revenue. This is beneficial especially for readers. They would be able to fully concentrate on reading without distraction from ads.
Plus, Google Adsense pays by clicks on the ads. Even if readers want to support translators, they can't spam clicking every ads as Google will detect and ban their IP address. Worst case, Google might even resort to banning translators' account, causing them to lose their source of earning.
However, steemit offers the solution to this by encouraging everyone to involve. Even leechers who don't support translators can be part of the contribution. By just upvoting and commenting on translators' work, they might even earn some profits as curators. Win- win situation for both, no?
What about us, translators then?
Hey, you just have to worry about producing good works here. Site, server, domain etc. Forget about them. steemit got these in its bag!
Alright, time to promote myself :)
I am going to start uploading my new project here in a week time. This web novel currently has 700+ chapters in raw and I hope that the community here would enjoy reading it. So, follow
