Choose a formal literary website to sign a contract, and there must be an open and transparent writer income model. A formal literary website refers to a website with an Internet publishing license. Do not sign a contract with a website of unknown origin involving pirated or inappropriate content. Many literary websites will open the backend to authors, who can check the number of clicks, paid readings and income of their works. Choosing such a website to sign a contract can check their income in time and reduce risks. The author should clearly stipulate in the contract when signing the contract. The author has the right to check the use of the contracted works. The user should provide a written sales data settlement report for each settlement.
2. Choose the way of cooperation that suits you. At present, various literary websites provide a variety of signing methods. Some only sign the digital copyright of specific works, and some require the author to authorize the rights of film and television adaptation, derivative animation, paper book publishing, etc. to the website, and some stipulate a period of time. The rights and interests of the created works are all owned by the website. When signing the contract, the author should consider his own situation and choose the signing method. Try to sign a contract for each work, and the digital copyright can be authorized to the website separately, so that you can make money from paper books and e-books respectively. Try not to sign all the works within a few years to one website, you can sign different works to different websites.
3. The calculation method of remuneration should be clear. Most websites are revenue-sharing systems. Only the authors who have profits can get paid after the works are put on the shelves. Many authors will face the situation of no revenue for a long time after signing the contract. Some websites provide some authors with "full-time wages". You will get guaranteed income. In the contract, there must be separate and clear agreements on the remuneration for derivatives such as electronic publishing, paper publishing, and film and television animation adaptations.
4. Protect your works from being stolen. At present, after some illegal websites have obtained the author's work or outline, they will not be put on the shelves or recommended in various ways, and the work will be remade and plagiarized to be published as another work. The work is the author's hard work. It is also a major blow mentally, and it is also difficult to initiate rights protection. The Human Rights Protection Office recommends that authors who have such concerns can register with the local copyright center, or apply for timestamp copyright protection to prevent problems before they occur.
