How much did Gu's author get?

Let me talk about the real income of several scripts I have created, which should be more objective market prices. Give some reference to people who want to engage in this industry.

First of all, let's talk about the classification of scripts (offline):

Exclusive authorization, that is, only one script shop in each city can buy it. The price is generally 3000~50000 RMB.

City restrictions, that is, each city can have multiple script shops to buy, generally speaking, there are three, and the price is 1000~2000 RMB.

Boxed sales, that is, every script shop with formal business qualifications can buy it at a price of 300~500 RMB.

Script expenses mainly include art design, printing, props (if any), exhibition expenses, mailing expenses, etc. Among them, printing costs will be much more expensive if anti-counterfeiting, but piracy will come out slowly.

Then tell me about my situation,

I sent three copies.

1, the creative cycle of the exclusive "doppelganger" is about 4 months. It was released in July last year and sold for 3888. The top ten cities offer a discount of 3588, but the cost is really expensive. Everything weighs 4.6 kg after packaging, and the profit is about 3000. I split it with the distributor, so I can get 10 for every one I sell.

Because the quality of the book is limited and the book is new, the sales data is average. Up to now, I have sold 60+ copies (that is, 60 cities), even if it is 60 copies, then my income is 60 *1500 = 90,000 yuan.

2. The creative cycle of the boxed "Huashan School Killing Event" is about 1 month, and it is sold together with the doppelganger. The price is 388 yuan per box, but the artist painted the original paintings by hand, including the scenes, so the cost is also high. Every box I sell is about 100 yuan.

Because the case of this book is relatively simple, many shops are reluctant to buy it as a novice book. Coupled with the fierce competition in antique style, so up to now, I have sold more than 100 cases. Let's calculate100 *100 =10000 yuan.

3. Boxed "Why did I crack the secret room and kill people at school when Resident Evil broke out?" The creative cycle is about 2 months, and the price is 488. Released at the end of last year. The first batch of 200 boxes sold out early. The goods were delivered before the outbreak, but the subsequent orders could not be delivered on time due to the epidemic. The final expectation is that we should be able to sell 300~400 boxes. There is no specific accounting for this cost. Let's calculate it according to the income per box 100.

My income is 200* 100=20000 yuan.

So this is the total income of my creative career in the last seven months. Poor, huh? Ha ha ha? Compared with the big names in the industry, it is nothing.

Then say a few digressions.

1, I am the lowest-level author in the industry, and my income is one tenth or even one twentieth of the top authors in the industry. However, writing plays is not about making money, but quality is the guarantee of making money. We should strive to improve the quality of the script. If I am a novice, you can look at my sharing.

2. For authors who have confidence in their own strength, please refuse the online and buyout system. The sharing system is the guarantee of high income, and offline books actually have continuous income, just like online books.

At present, the authors in this industry are really making money, but I don't know what will happen after the epidemic situation stabilizes. There are also several contracted authors in my distribution, and I have also signed contracts with leading authors in the industry. I have the least money (bullying the new author, hum).

In order to ensure the quality, I spent a lot of money on art design and packaging. We don't ask a printing factory to do it in batches. Each copy is handmade, so the cost is very high. If the distribution wants to reduce the cost, it can be reduced to a very low level.

Although it seems that exclusive is more profitable than boxed, there are fewer and fewer stores to buy exclusive now. Many boxed explosions can be sold for 2000 boxes. Even according to my income, I can get at least 200 thousand+,which is much better than writing exclusive, which is also caused by the trend of more and more stores now.

6. Don't blog if you want to make money (laughs). I believe all the bloggers in the circle understand my words. Horror books and emotional immersion should have sold better.
