Fun fact: My Kickstarter just hit $40,000. That means I'm breaking even on the project!
Wondering how the hell that works? Watch.
$40,000
- $4,000 (Kickstarter takes 5% of the total. Amazon will likely take another 5% in fees.)
- $6,500 (The artists' bonuses.)
- $8,000 (Printing, storing, and shipping the books.)
- $17,000 (Artists' pay. A $50-per-page page rate for a 350-page book, my own contribution notwithstanding.)
- $4500 (Amount I borrowed from household expenses to get Poorcraft (my previous project) to print while the business went broke from paying SP's artists.)
So, basically, in early July, It will be as if I woke up one morning with 4,000 $30.00 books to sell, having invested nothing to finance their creation!
I'm pretty pleased with this.
