"Phew, unexpected!"

Inside the rental house, Chen Xu was a little surprised when he looked at the sales statistics in the background of his official platform.

Because the increase in the entire data was actually somewhat beyond his expectations.

On the first day, 162 copies were sold, which is neither a high nor a low number.

On the second day, sales jumped by about 4 times, with a total of 610 copies sold.

The main reason is his propaganda.

With a budget of 20,000 yuan, normal advertising will definitely not be possible.

On the one hand, there is not enough money, and on the other hand, there is something special about the game.

So Chen Xu set his sights directly on overseas, a forum frequented by gentlemen.

After all, for Chen Xu, all he wants is exposure.

As for the method, it is a relatively primitive elite navy post.

Chen Xu never thought about a large-scale navy bombing.

Because that will not play a very good role, but may be counterproductive.

So the method Chen Xu took was to buy an account and join the elite stream.

Buy some older accounts in the forum, and then publish review posts.

After posting, there will be trolls from other platforms to like the content of the post.

Of course, the most critical point is that the quality of the game must pass the test.

Otherwise, this kind of propaganda method is not as effective as a large-scale troll army.

The most critical point for the success of this model is to infect players who know this game into allies, allowing them to spontaneously benefit their surrounding friends and gentlemen.

As a professional game planner and an honest and honest player in his previous life, Chen Xu naturally understood the truth.

That is for players, what are they interested in

A very simple theory is that as players, most of them like to do one thing.

That is to do some colorful things in normal games; to do some normal things in some colorful games.

This sense of contrast can be said to make these players unable to stop.

Just like a joke made by online players: The two main hobbies of men are to drag good people into trouble and to persuade people to be good.

The same goes for players.

There are always some players who like to do some naughty things in the game.

Of course, this alone is obviously not enough to make a game successful. In the end, it depends on the quality of the game.

But at least this feature can attract players to enter it, which is enough.

Judging from the sales volume of "Magic Mirror", such a publicity strategy can be said to be successful so far.

After all, Chen Xu had carefully considered the choice of "Magic Mirror" and it was not a decision he made at once.

How are competing products of the same type on the market performing? Are the preferences of gentlemen different from those in previous generations, including the platform for sale and the feasibility of promotion? All aspects have been investigated in advance.

Chen Xu has already settled everything.

Under such circumstances, it can be said that the success of "Magic Mirror" is completely within Chen Xu's control.

The only thing he didn't expect was that the enthusiasm of the gentlemen was much higher than Chen Xu thought.

The sales volume on the second day was 610 copies. Chen Xu believed that this increase was just the beginning.

As time goes by, the word-of-mouth spread among players will definitely increase the sales of "Magic Mirror" little by little.

"Well, according to this model, the money owed to the payment software can be repaid directly next week."

"Fortunately, the settlement method of overseas official platforms is real-time payment. As long as players have passed the refund period, they can directly transfer money into their account."

“But just like in the previous life, it’s really hard to bear the commission from this third-party platform channel.”

Thinking of this, Chen Xu couldn't help but smacked his lips.

The official game platform takes a commission of 30%, which is mainly responsible for daily platform maintenance, as well as the upgrading of game engines and the development of the latest technology.

As for the rest of the third-party game platforms, they are much more deceiving.

Especially when it comes to mobile channels, they basically start at 50%.

Some even worse ones are 73. Of course, it must be developer 3, and the platform is 7.

It is also comparable to Gouchang and major mobile application mall channels in the previous life.

However, there are certainly advantages, that is, the number of users of these third-party platforms is really large, plus there are few official recommendations and the algorithms are not scientific.

Therefore, although many of these platforms have higher commissions, game studios and companies still make money.

It's just that I can only drink soup, and all the meat is eaten by the platform channels.

However, for the current Chen Xu, these platforms have only paid a little attention and are completely meaningless.

It’s not that I think it’s too dark and I don’t want to have sex.

In fact, if you really want to do it, the early accumulation of funds will definitely be faster.

Mainly because the game "Magic Mirror" is a little bit special, and even if it is on the platform, it will not give any recommendation.

Of course, this is a domestic platform, and for overseas platforms, the restrictions are not so strict.

But when there is an official platform, there is no need to go to third-party channels.

Because those domestic platform providers really don’t have much influence overseas.

Their main direction is domestic.

… … …

From afternoon to evening, Chen Xu has been paying attention to the game sales data.

This period is also a prime time for sales growth.

The background data is refreshed every hour, and you can see that the sales of "Magic Mirror" are rising steadily.

From the previous hour, there were more than 100 new additions. By this golden time, the number had reached more than 200.

Apparently from various information channels, the name "Magic Mirror" slowly spread to the ears of various gentlemen.

This increase in sales is due to the support of the game by the amiable gentlemen.

And as the players’ ratings were lifted, the ratings of “Magic Mirror” were also successfully displayed.

9.7 points, an explosive score.

However, Chen Xu was not too excited.

The main reason is that as an 18R game, players can be said to be extremely tolerant of this type of game, and their tolerance level has also been increased a lot.

Compared with traditional games, this score actually does not have much reference value.

Just like some forums are full of all kinds of abuse and have different rhythms, some forums where gentlemen hang out for a long time.

The user's speeches can be described as extremely harmonious. They are either saying that the poster is a good person and a good person has a safe life, or they are exchanging their own experiences in reading films and their love for certain teachers.

The only thing that the score of "Magic Mirror" can prove is that in the eyes of players, this game is definitely worth buying and recommending.

After all, who can refuse such an interesting girl-matching game
