How writers make money by selling books, and how writers make money

The average writer can use the manuscript fee as a salary. Unless more than half of them don't sell or the number of publications is quite small, it's no problem to feed one or two people in first- and second-tier cities. Of course, if the book is published too slowly, the income will not be guaranteed.

However, if you write for a journal, you can submit the manuscript on a monthly basis and receive a manuscript fee.

Aren't there a lot of living specimens for money-making writers at the moment? Guo Jingming, buy bestsellers first and then sell very expensive bestsellers and finally publish super expensive monthly magazines, JK Rowling, bestsellers plus movie copyright fees, Jin Yong, super bestsellers, and so on. Authors can make money as long as their books are unanimously welcomed by the "masses".

No matter how you do it, you can make money. Of course, the condition for all the public to like it is that the aesthetic threshold must also be very popular. It needs an aesthetic that the public can accept and love, and a selling point that makes the public rush to buy books.

For example, the selling point of the "Harry Potter series" is magic. For example, Guo Jingming's selling point is to ask for brainless youth. For example, Jin Yong's selling point is the king of martial arts.

Zhang Wuben's selling point is that he is a miracle doctor for health.

But writers who make money aren't necessarily good writers.

Take Guo Jingming as an example, the current red is purple, and after the past 100 years, it is impossible for any publisher with a sore egg to take out his book and print it as "famous books to read" and then reprint it. In terms of profitability, this "writer" is a success, but as an artist, he is a failure.

The income from selling books themselves, as well as the income from fame

When you want to write a book to make money, you won't make money, and a good book has to have a normal heart.

Royalties are a form of payment, specifically, a monetary share that a copyright owner receives for the use of his work by others. Broadly speaking, there are also those who see royalties as a type of remuneration.

Royalties are calculated as follows: book unit price, book print run or sales volume, and royalty rate.

Royalty rates generally range from 6% to 10%.

The standard and method of payment of royalties need to be determined by oral or written agreement between the owner of the copyright in the work and the user. In general, the publisher is required to pay a portion of the royalties to the author before the work is officially published, and this part of the royalty is called prepaid royalties. Advance royalties can be paid after the contract is signed, after the work is delivered, or after the sample book is printed.

Advance royalties are generally not less than 50% of the total estimated royalties.

In this case, there are publishers who are willing to ask for your manuscript before they will give you royalties, but now the general publishing house prefers the author to publish the book at his own expense, and if he publishes the book at his own expense, a book number is more than 10,000, I hope you can successfully submit the manuscript!

What you asked:

How much money can be made for each copy sold", which should refer to the royalty remuneration. To be honest, it's a pitiful amount of money. For books published under the royalty system, the median manuscript fee is less than 20,000 yuan, and about 2,000 yuan of individual income tax will be deducted.

More than 10,000 yuan, according to your ability to publish with royalties, you can easily earn anything. But I always feel that for every book sold, the author can earn more than just a penny.

Therefore, you see that in other people's bios, even if they are required to write only a few dozen words, as long as they have published a book, they will definitely write: He has published a book of so-and-so. In order to increase credibility, parentheses are often written, so-and-so publishing house.

Roughly calculated, the whole will use 20 words, but at all costs. Imagine that we both go to an internet company at the same time to apply for a marketing director, and you are the interviewer. We are on the same level, we all have a good conversation with you, and you don't know who to choose.

How much money is made is related to the number of books sold, and the more books are sold, the more money the author makes. For example, if a book is priced at 30 yuan and 10,000 copies are sold, the author will get 30 10,000 8% = 24,000 yuan according to the royalty rate of 8%. If 20,000 copies are sold, it is 30 20,000 8% = 48,000 yuan.

Also, the royalty rate is different for different authors, some authors are celebrities and are well-known, the royalty rate will be higher, such as 10%, 12%, etc., and some unknown authors may be lower. -- Guru Culture Media [Book Publishing].

Summary. Under normal circumstances, it is to find a publisher to publish, and profitable publishers occupy the majority, and authors generally can only get 5 12 of the yard (price print) as royalty income (well-known authors only get more than 10, unless the book is more popular, generally take less than 8).

Make money from writing. Today's writers are divided into two categories, one is traditional writers (generally publishing, etc.), and the other is network writers (network**, etc.), among which the most terrifying income is network writers, and the first person with a network ** income is hundreds of millions.

There should be many ways for writers to make money. Write articles to be published on major platforms (Baijiahao, Sohu, Tencent, Yidian Information, etc.); Writing training courses; writing books; Write**; as a writer; to do new ** operations in enterprises; There is a skill to do self-** and so on, and there is always a way to make money.

Why do you have to pay for a book yourself? Isn't it possible for a publishing house to make money selling books? Why does the author have to pay for it? The author's interests in **?

Dear, hello, this question is very simple, whether you want to pay for the book depends on what level of writer you are, if your work is very popular in the market, and you are a very famous writer, then you don't need to pay for the book, because the publishing house will rush to help you publish the book, because this is also a rare opportunity for the publishing house to make money. Some authors need to pay for their own money, in order to make nostalgia, to give some to their friends, these books are not very valuable in the market, so it is difficult to make money. Therefore, only writers with good works and good reputation have benefits.

Summary. Writers are not so easy to find. Because they want to create with peace of mind, they choose an environment that is as isolated as possible from foreign affairs.

In the process of creation, you may also cut off contact with the outside world. If there is a Weibo forum related to him, these are all things that can be followed, and you can send him a private message in this way. He has a certain chance of replying when he sees it.

Authors are like to have book lovers themselves, but. If you get too close to a person's life, you may feel offended.

Hello, I'm glad to answer you, the answer to this question is no. Book lovers should respect the author even more. You can talk to the author to have some collisions of ideas, provide him with inspiration, and give him some suggestions, but you can't force him to write a certain book or a certain genre.

Of course, if you're a publisher, you can.

So how can I reach the author and talk to him/her?

Okay, I see, thanks.

1. You can be a bookstore**. This is a very popular way at the moment, and there is no need to stock it yourself. Put the name and details of the book online, and when a buyer places an order, the other party will ship it directly, and you don't need to bear any risk.

However, if you want to use this method to open a store, you must negotiate a cooperation and commission with the other party.

2. Wholesale bookstores. In the streets and alleys, you can see many bookstores. Check out these bookstores and pick up some of the best-selling books.

Generally speaking, wholesale bookstores have a wide variety of types of books, and buying them in large quantities will be cheap. This requires the store to look carefully and find some popular books. After choosing a book, you need to pay for it yourself, otherwise you won't be able to buy it home.

After you buy it, you need to put each book online and wait for the buyer to come. This kind of purchase channel needs to pay the cost by itself, and there is a certain risk. However, it can be purchased at a lower ** and get higher profits.

3. To be the brand leader of large bookstores. If you want to open an online bookstore, you must have the confidence to do it well. In order to get on the right track, you might as well contact a large bookstore.

Generally speaking, the more you buy, the greater the discount, and after completing a certain amount of sales, you can also get rebates. For newbies, you can try this method and do a good job of promoting the book and selling it.

4. Direct cooperation with book publishers. Whether you are selling books or other products, it is most appropriate to work directly with manufacturers. But there is a problem here, manufacturers don't like small ** merchants.

They know that small ** merchants do not have too strong strength, and they may not be able to sell a lot. Therefore, if you want to cooperate directly with the book publisher, you need to go a long way. However, it is not impossible to be afraid of people with intentions in everything, and it is not impossible to try to persuade the other party and show personal strength.

5. Pay attention to bookstores in the same city to see if they have any inventory that needs to be cleaned up. Or there are some bookstores that want to transform, etc., and will be in a hurry to ** some books. At this time, it is not too high and can be picked up and leaked.

If you can, stop by the bookstore when you're okay and find out which books are more popular. However, you can't grasp the quantity and specifications by yourself, and if you sell one, you will lose one.

6. Special purchase channels. That is, if you or your relatives and friends have a physical bookstore, you can sell them directly online. This kind of channel is the most reliable, which is equivalent to opening the online sales model and buying a copy to make some profits.

If you want to start a business, you need to consider at least the following aspects:

1. Consider suitable entrepreneurial projects. For example, whether you want to work in the catering industry, clothing industry, Internet industry, education industry or other industries; whether to start a business in the form of franchise or operate independently; Whether it is a business ** or a physical store. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider whether the entrepreneurial project you choose has development prospects and whether it can be profitable.

2. Consider whether you have qualifications. For example, if you want to work in the restaurant industry, do you have the experience and knowledge you need to know?

3. Consider the issue of entrepreneurial capital. Any business is inseparable from start-up capital, and whether you have prepared sufficient funds. In addition, any business has the possibility of failure, and are you prepared for the possibility of losing money?

Writers can make money, only a very small number of people, in fact, most writers are relatively poor, let alone make a lot of money, so the idea of making a fortune by writing is unrealistic.

It depends on what kind of writer it is, if it is a best-selling author, it will earn more, and if the book you write is also made into a film and television drama, then you will earn more, but if you are just an ordinary writer, you may not make a lot of money.

Yes. But a writer's income is determined by the number of contributions he makes, so the people who can make a lot of money are very capable and creative writers.

Whether a writer can make a lot of money has something to do with the works he produces, and if his works are particularly good and there are many fans who buy his books, he will make a lot of money.

A writer is a person who writes, and like any other industry, you have to make a lot of money, you have to be good enough.

The cost of publishing a book is related to these four elements, and how much you earn depends on how you allocate it reasonably.

There are generally two kinds of remuneration, one is the remuneration for the number of words, that is, the remuneration is paid according to the number of words in the work, for example, a book of 200,000 words, 50 yuan per thousand words, then the total remuneration is 20 (10,000 words) 10 50 yuan = 10,000 yuan.

The other is royalty remuneration, the royalty rate of general books is 6% 9%, which is related to the pricing and sales of books, for example, a book is priced at 20 yuan, and 5000 copies are actually sold, and the royalty rate is 8%, then the author's remuneration is 20 yuan 8% 5000 copies = 8,000 yuan.

No matter how the author obtains the author's remuneration income, the corresponding personal income tax must be deducted, personal income tax = (author's remuneration - basic allowance) 20%, but there are always some reasonable tax avoidance measures.
