How do people get rich off books or music?
Posted by admin on Apr.21, 2011, under Riches Secrets
I don’t really care much about the money part of being an author,probably because I’m just naturally creative/imaginative,and because I really don’t feel the need to buy stuff.
But,anyway,how do people get rich off books or music? Singers and authors don’t get that much money from one copy of a book sold,how? I can understand if thousands are sold but..
That is the thing is thousands are sold, look at the Da Vinci Code over 60.5 Million copies sold and if he only gets 50 Cents for each one sold that is $30.25 Million so that is how he makes that much money and it is the same thing for musicians it is just quantity sold

They sign contracts with publishers and the contract stipulates how much a publisher will pay for them to write the book. They usually get a couple grand to start up and then a big pay out when the book is done. Sometimes they do get royalties from the books sold.

if the book is popular and lots of people are buying it, yes they wil get rich. and even richer if the book gets turned into a movie or a show

"I can understand if thousands are sold but.."
That would be how. Most authors and musicians aren’t rich.

they get paid for book and music sales.. one book may not bring that much, but thousands and millions will. Then reprints of the book, music played on the radio, concerts, etc bring in more money.
