The author's fee for a web novel wasn't only earned after it was published. In fact, as long as the novel was approved by the editor and successfully published, the author would already receive the payment.
After the novel was published, the author could increase the popularity and influence of his novel by publishing more chapters to gain more readers and interactions, thus increasing his royalties. In addition, if the novel received widespread praise and recognition, it could also be recommended by the editor and platform to receive more royalties and other rewards.
Of course, different platforms and editors had different standards for the remuneration of their novels. Some platforms might be higher, while others might be lower. However, no matter what, as long as the novel was recognized and successfully published, the author would have a chance to receive the remuneration.
The following were some poems that he could not get:
Song of Everlasting Regret-Bai Juyi
I'm born with talent, I'm sure it'll be useful.
Cook sheep, slaughter cattle, and enjoy the party. You must drink three hundred cups at a time.
Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will not stop drinking.
I'll sing a song for you, please listen to it for me.
Bells, drums and jade are not worth being expensive. I hope I'll be drunk for a long time and never wake up.
Since ancient times, sages and sages have been lonely, only the drinker left his name.
In the past, the king of Chen gave a banquet in Pingle to drink ten thousand taels of wine.
Why should the host say that there is little money? I must buy it directly and pour it to you.
I'll go out and exchange my five-streaked horse for fine wine to relieve my eternal sorrow with you.
2 "Happy Meeting"-Li Bai
Without saying a word, I went up to the west tower alone. The moon was like a hook.
Lonely sycamore trees in the deep courtyard lock the clear autumn.
If I can't cut it off, it's still a mess. It's the sorrow of separation.
Don't feel the same in your heart.
3 "Ascending"-Du Fu
The wind is strong, the sky is high, the apes howl, the white birds fly back to the clear sand of the mournful island.
Endless trees fall and the endless Yangtze River rolls down.
I'm always a guest in autumn, sad for thousands of miles. I've been sick for a hundred years, and I'm alone on the stage.
I'm in trouble, bitter resentment, frosty hair, downcast hair, I've just stopped drinking.
4."The Phoenix with a Head"-Li Qingzhao
The world's feelings are thin, human feelings are evil, the rain sends the evening flowers easy to fall.
The morning breeze drips away tears, I want to write a letter, my heart is sad, I speak alone.
Difficult, difficult, difficult!
5 "Difficult Road"-Li Bai
A bucket of wine in a golden cup costs ten thousand dollars, and a jade plate worth ten thousand dollars.
I stopped drinking, threw down my chopsticks, couldn't eat, pulled out my sword, looked around, and felt lost.
I want to cross the Yellow River, the frozen river will climb the Taihang Mountains full of snow.
When I'm free, I go fishing on the green stream. Suddenly I take a boat and dream of the sun.
It was difficult to travel! It was difficult to travel! Where are the many forks now?
The wind and waves will sometimes hang the clouds and sail across the sea.
Getting published by online publishers of short fiction is a multi - step process. You need to write a great short story first, of course. Make sure it has a strong plot, interesting characters, and good writing mechanics. Then, look for online publishers that are a good fit for your story.

When you submit, be prepared to wait for a response. It could be weeks or even months. If you receive a rejection, don't give up. Keep writing, keep improving, and keep submitting to other publishers.
