Chapter 4: Game Popularity and Promotion
"Hurry up cherry bomb\
,""No, no, no hot pepper here, it can save 25 sunshine."
Before playing for an hour, Richard had no less than 20 people behind him. Half of the game room was watching the game on the computer screen.
Everyone enthusiastically discussed how to put plants together. After playing the 19th level, Richard was a little messy, and finally hung up at the 25th level.
"Hey, it's a pity"
"Richard, you stupid, let you put a nut wall early."
"Wait, let this bastard open, he can't always take up the computer."
"Stupid, why are we going around this computer, William he has a CD, and each of us can play."
"Yes", who has been provoked, immediately looked at William, "guys, quickly hand over the CD."
The game CD was immediately taken away by the fastest person and started installation one by one.
Watching this group of veterans was rushing to play, William's heart was secretly relieved. It seemed that the classic was classic. This strategy game in Europe and the United States had a part of the loyal game powder.
After staying in the game room for two hours, watching everyone was playing with plant vs. Zombies, and even some later students were scared by the hot scenes in the game room. William finally gave a great breath.
There are no fools who can take the University of London near London. Many people look at William's eyes.
After looking at the watch time, it was almost noon. William walked in front of the blackboard wall of the game room and clapped his hands loudly and said: "Hey, hey guys stop, everyone see here."
After several words, someone stopped the game and watched it. They were all game fans. Whatever the game was good, they could know about it. Many people were thinking that there was a guy in the school who was going to make a fortune.
Waiting for more than half of the people looked at themselves, William said: "We all know that the game design is played for people, and the final purpose is also very realistic, that is, making money.
So I want to ask everyone now, would you buy if this game sells 5 pounds? Of course, as the return of your time, I will send you a game CD for free. "
When he heard this problem, everyone didn't let William wait long, they clamored.
"£ 5, of course, I will buy it. At least games that are popular now can sell more than 8 pounds."
"William, I want to buy 4 boxes of CDs now."
"No problem, this price is not expensive at all."
Seeing that most people can accept the price of 5 pounds, and many people still feel that 5 pounds are cheaper, William is more confident in the next plan.
Please ask everyone quietly and say: "Guys, we are friends, many people know my family situation. I have no money, and I can't find a big game company to help me promote the game, so I thought of a way. I don't know who you can accept. "
Robert Carter, who has a good relationship with William, reminded me kindly, "Hey, guy, what thoughts are, I think your game will be hot,
However, if I am you, I will register this game now, so as not to have trouble in the future. "
Robert is a black man. Of course, he doesn't care about William's skin tone. After knowing the interests agency, the two went out to play several times together, and they became friends.
"Thanks, guys, but a few days ago, I registered the copyright, and it was any copyright that could be registered."
Hearing this, some gamers paid part -time developers in the student group, or they could not help but be disappointed.
"I have got the copyright certificate. Since everyone can accept the price of 5 pounds, many people still feel that the price of 5 pounds is low.
Then I Wholesale the game at £ 4, and then you can accept the classmates or friends you know with you at 6 pounds. Can you accept it? "
The game room was loudly loud
"This idea is good. I really want to place an order to you immediately. Last time, the EPS game I bought spent me 12 pounds. This game that you made is fun. I think I can sell 100 light plates."
"Cut, only 100 photos, I think you can sell 200 in my community. There are so many families in the community. These children will definitely crazy when they encounter a favorite game."
"Hey, Ryan, your guy is indeed learning marketing. Why didn't I expect to sell in the community? How can there be more communities in London and sell hundreds of living expenses. It should not be difficult to make some living expenses."
"Maybe we can apply for a display area in the school and put a few notebooks for alumni to try it. If our school can get angry, then everyone can go to other universities to sell. What do you think of this idea?"
"This idea is good, guys, some of us set up a sales team together. If you try in school, you can't spend any energy and money. Who do you want to join? You can come to me to apply."
"Add me one, I want to join"
"And me, I think we can apply to the school in the name of an interest club, and now I can reply to the application tomorrow."
William listened to everyone discussing such a sales game, and they blossomed. The last 50 people discussed together. Everyone was sold at Chen Mona in 4 pounds and sold it at 6 pounds.
This price William actually knows a bit low, but the game is now unnamed, and the low -price promotion is more important than short -term income.
And he can earn more than 3 pounds for every 4 pounds, and he can get these 50 people to promote him for free. Even if someone sells at a high price, it can be regarded as arousing everyone's enthusiasm for sales.
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
After all, you earn one share for every copy sold. These students on the scene are veterans, and many of them have developed games before and know what games are good or not.
Find Robert and several other top students from the law school to be William's legal advisors at a friendly price of 25 game discs per person.
Everyone discussed the terms and details together, and after all legal issues were resolved, William took out a pen and paper and asked everyone's name and the number of discs they wanted.
Most people were doing sales for the first time and didn't ask for many, but the least asked William for ten, and several guys from the marketing department asked for more than 200 each.
After counting everyone, William was shocked when he calculated that there were 1050 copies written on the paper, an average of 20 copies per person.
After Robert and others sorted out the legal documents, he read them to everyone.
William first collected a deposit of 4 pounds per disc for the game in the form of loan, and made the discs for everyone within a week.
Everyone knows the price of discs made by London engravers: 0.8 pounds per disc for less than 10,000 discs, 0.6 pounds for more than 10,000 and less than 50,000 discs, and 0.5 pounds for more than 50,000 discs.
Therefore, no one talked too much about this matter. After all, the worst result is that the game will be sold at a low price, which is more than their money, and most people still think about making money reasonably.
After everyone paid the money and signed the contract, William was excited to take the 4,200 pounds in his hand. This was the first money since his rebirth. He didn't expect to take the first step so easily.
He took the money back to the dormitory and took the game master tape, and rushed to the engraver who had cooperated with the interest club.
In fact, according to the information learned from the engraver, they can make less than 10,000 discs in less than 3 days. Signing a week with the alumni is to give them a few more days in case of unexpected situations.
After finding a plate manufacturer, William spent 4,000 pounds to order 5,000 sheets.
With the remaining 200 pounds and a few hundred pounds in his hands, he planned to register a company in these three days.
After all, in England, anyone with an annual income of more than 150,000 pounds has to pay 50% personal tax, while the corporate tax rate is only 26% for annual profits of more than 300,000 pounds, and it has been reduced to 24% since 2012.
So registering a company is imperative.
