Chapter 676 - 674: SINGING CAREER
When talking about money, Diamond couldn’t help but recall the price she set for each song, which was A$5. In Athary, this amount of money didn’t buy much, to be honest.
It wasn’t even enough to pay for transport fares as public transport fees start at A$7.
If you use that money to buy airtime, the airtime would be enough for a minute and a half. It wasn’t the kind of money that could cause waves for others.
Besides, on the platform, it was the lowest price she could set. She didn’t want her fans to pay a lot of money for songs, which she planned to give away for free when she started singing.
However, when she thought of using this money for something great, she ended up pricing the song. If she hadn’t done so, she wouldn’t have managed to release it through that platform.
It wasn’t everyone who was doing charity. So, she needed to be considerate.
The platform took a 30% share from all the earnings as their commission, which for others doesn’t sound fair at all. But in her eyes, that share was quite fine. Without them, how could these artists release their songs without fearing piracy?
There was guaranteed protection, which she needed as well as other professional singers.
Anyway, returning to the matter on hand, with the 30% deducted, Diamond was getting A$3.5 per song. And then multiply that by the number of paid downloads. Her face twitched, and her body was practically trembling. Not with fear, but happiness.
Listening to Andrea, who sounded excited as he reported the figures, Diamond wanted to find the system and gave it smooches. Without the system, would she be able to earn so much money from a single song?
Of course, at this stage, she didn’t bother to think about the costs she incurred to have that song produced. She was just happy that the song’s earnings so far exceeded A$4 million.
