Jim Jones sold 350k records soundscan. so take 350k x 6= 2.1 mil well yall forgot he needs to pay back for his record. take out what your videos cost,take out all your promotion magazines radio internet tv street teams, take out what it cost to do the album production studio guest apperances mastering mixing pressing when you and your crew had to fly somewhere for the album airlines, hotels,and drivers. promo tour? people on your payroll during promo tour when your not getting paid hype man, dj,road manager, security, and who ever else. autograph signings yeah your paying on getting there airlines or tour bus and your crew again. you want the best positioning in a certain store right behind the check out line?? thats going to cost ya. did you hire a radio consultant? theres more charges as well just not going to get into it. Did you get some upfront money yeah time to pay that back as well. koch is not going to assume all the risk to give you 6 dollars and they only make 3-4 dollars. lets not forget about taxes either at the end of the day. do you have a manager because he just took 10-20% of your money as well.
