yeah, musicians always want to hate on record labels for taking a big cut of "their" money, but without the market and distribution work the labels the artists wouldn't even get a fraction of the sales...i remember that douche from NIN tried to do a tour without a record label "taking a cut" to promote the tour...and he was like "hey, how come radiohead has these giant billboards all over eastern europe and tons of posters on every bus stop, but my tour doesn't?!" it's like hey moron did you think those things come out of thin air? no, your evil money grubbing record label actually organizes that all for you so you can be an ungrateful little shit.

It's like you described if you're a shit writer. If you're above average you might make some cash (thousands range) If you're god tier you will do the above and possible earn a book deal. Either way you need to self promote your books

I read an article actually of people who self published. The jist of the article was that you shouldn't waste your time trying to get a publisher and just self-publish and try to promote your book yourself. If you are any good people will continue to buy your books and you may get exposure for a real publisher from there.

Of course if no one likes your books then you will make no money, but at least you didn't spend 1-2 years trying to find a publisher.
