Chapter 264 Streamer Upgrade
Yufei's dance costumes are all handmade and custom-made. Thinking about the work ahead, Yufei felt a little dizzy; increasing production was out of the question.
She didn't want to spend the rest of her time on needlework, despite the pleading comments on the screen.
Yufei had no choice but to refuse, explaining that they were short-handed at the moment and would discuss it again if there was another opportunity.
Live streams always fly by. Neither Yufei nor the viewers on the other side of the internet noticed how many hours had already passed.
Their live stream concluded with another Han Dynasty dance performed by Yufei.
"I just did the math. We earned about 700,000 Alliance Coins from tips during this live stream. Since we're new to live streaming, the platform splits the revenue 50/50, which means we earned around 700,000 Alliance Coins today."
He Junlin looked at the data in his hand and said to Yufei, who nodded. Earning over 70 yuan in just one live stream had already exceeded her expectations.
However, most of the tips today were probably related to wanting her to make more clothes.
The subsequent live streams definitely won't reach such high donation levels, unless there are pre-orders for clothing.
"In addition, we received two custom-made dance costumes and ten handkerchiefs today."
Dance costumes cost 10 each, and handkerchiefs cost 30 each, totaling 20. After deducting the platform's share, we receive over 100, which means we can earn around 1 million today.
He Junlin continued, but he also analyzed that today would definitely be the most profitable day of the week.
There might not be enough left, so Yufei should be mentally prepared to avoid a big disappointment that might affect her mood.
Yufei said she knew
At this moment, Cui Yu'an had just finished replying to the message on the personal terminal and said to Yufei...
"I just received a message from a Douyin (TikTok) staff member saying that our live stream performance today was very good, and they will promote us to Level 4 streamer. If the performance can maintain this level, they will promote us to Level 3 streamer. Of course, if there is a surge in popularity later, they will promote us to even higher levels."
Cui Yu'an recounted everything the platform administrator had just sent him to Yufei in detail.
"What use is this streamer level upgrade to us?"
Xie Yiren asked, "Since the Douyin platform mentioned advancing the streamer's level, it certainly isn't just for fun. There must be something different about it. I'm a little curious."
Yufei had experienced similar platforms to those on Earth in her later life. Although she hadn't let the streamers off the hook, she had still seen things go wrong.
She had heard that there were differences between different streamers, so when Cui Yu'an mentioned this, she roughly knew what was going on.
However, Xie Yiren and He Junlin don't know that.
After Xie Yiren asked the question, Cui Yu'an explained to the three of them...
"There are some differences in permissions between different streamers, but the more important issue is the stratification between the platform and the streamers."
For streamers like us who are new to the industry or whose viewership is consistently low, the platform will categorize us into five levels of streamers.
For streamers at this level, the platform won't give them much streaming support. Oh, and those of us who are just starting out get a bit more streaming support than streamers who have been streaming for a while and are still at level 5.
Once a streamer levels up, their promotional traffic will also increase. The bigger the streamer, the more promotional traffic the platform will give them when they go live, and the easier it is for people to get to know them.
"Isn't this a classic case of some people dying of drought while others drown in floods?" He Junlin said after understanding the rule.
"Pretty much. Your low traffic means the audience isn't very interested in you, so the platform won't waste resources on you."
Of course, if you're at this level but not entirely satisfied, you can spend money to buy traffic.
My personal advice is that it's unnecessary, unless you change your style and feel that the new style suits you well. Otherwise, the money you invest will be wasted.
Of course, besides the increased streaming volume, the most important change will be the alteration of revenue sharing between the platform and the streamer.
Today, because we are level 5 streamers, our revenue split with the platform is 50/50, each of us splitting it 50/50. When we become level 4 streamers, our revenue split with the platform will be 40/60, with us splitting 60% and them 40%, and so on.
"That's great! Wow! If we were level 1 top streamers today, we could have gotten over 100 million in tips! It hurts!"
He Junlin, like a comical character, clutched his heart, his face a picture of heartache at having to give half of his earnings to the platform today.
"This is already pretty good. For a big platform like theirs to offer a 50/50 split for even the lowest-level streamers is already very generous. If there were a platform like this on Earth that nearly monopolized the live streaming industry, they might even offer a 10/90 split for the lowest-level streamers."
Xie Yiren frowned at the thought of those capitalists' faces, and her mind went blank. She believed such a thing was very likely to happen, but that wouldn't stop many people from rushing to this place one after another.
And believe it or not, if you gain huge traffic and receive a lot of tips on such a platform...
Even a fraction of a percent is still a huge fortune, isn't it?
"So, starting tomorrow I'll be a Level 4 streamer? It's a pity I have limited energy and can't take on too many orders, otherwise I imagine I could become quite wealthy in a few days!"
Yufei said half-jokingly, but she also felt a bit helpless about the current situation. She was willing but powerless; it would be better if she could do more.
She was very confident in the embroidery of their Great Xia Dynasty and wouldn't say that producing more clothes would diminish their value.
It's no joke; their Great Xia silk embroidery has held a very high position in the hearts of Western nobles for thousands of years, let alone in this place that is so poor in both material and spiritual terms.
"Actually, we can talk to Minister Li and ask him to gather some embroiderers to do the embroidery together."
Cui Yu'an thought for a moment and said
"But we're only charging around 10 yuan to open up the market."
Those teachers, each with their own unique skills, would do far more than this with just a slight touch, let alone someone like Xiu Chengfu.
Yufei had previously considered seeking help from the official family behind her, since she wasn't the only one skilled in making clothes and embroidering ancient garments.
But when she thought of those intangible cultural heritage crafts, Yufei felt that 10 yuan was too unfair to them.
"It doesn't necessarily require those masters to perform the techniques. They also have apprentices. To truly master the skills of these masters, a great deal of practice is indispensable."
We can collect artworks through the government, and the government will pay them for it. Once this forms an industry chain, it will be good for them, increasing employment rates and attracting more people willing to learn. I believe they will be willing to do so.
Cui Yu'an Road
"That's right!" Yufei lamented, regretting that she hadn't thought of that. Why hadn't she considered having their apprentices or grand-apprentices do it instead of these masters?
The cooking skills might be a little lacking, but how did the wild boars suddenly become able to eat such fine bran?
"Why not just use machines to produce the ancient costumes?" He Junlin asked, puzzled. Machine-made ones are cheaper and can be made in large quantities, wouldn't that be perfect?
