  • How much does a webnovel original author earn?

120000 word for atleast $400.
120,000 words a month is about 3800 words a day. A standard chap is about 1000-1500 wordsπŸ˜‘πŸ˜‘.
Since people will have school/side job as well, contract in these terms is not plausible.
Just write the novel here and other sites simultaneously, to publicize your patreonπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Your best bet is to self-publish on Amazon if you're looking for monetary gain. You can join the Webnovel Writer's Discord if you want to talk about this in more length. It's a frequent topic of conversation there.

If you end up signing a contract you are guaranteed at least 400 USD per month if you fulfill certain criteria. But you can gain income without signing a contract by publishing on other platforms and from fan donations. You can also participate in the writing contests they sometimes hold.

    ChrisX if you're fluent in chinese, you could just translate. You might even earn more for less work.

      ChrisX don't need to think so much about the payment. If you really have a passion as a writer, the most important thing is to increase your writting skill. After that the payment will automatically followed. There will always a good ending for hard working people. So let's work hard together!

        Kodokijo I totally agree. I know as a new comer experience and learnings are good payments already. I just wanted to know how it goes here in qidian. Let's work hard! πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ
