From the linked post:
“If you’ve ever looked at the Audible ACX contract, you’ve seen the complicated sales earnings math (another future post). For now, let’s focus only on the result: the amount of money which ends up in our bank”
I personally feel like I need to see the math in order to understand what is actually going on
- csours 5y agoSounds like the marketing is misrepresenting the contract - which consumers have some protections against, but I'm not sure how many similar protections exist for what are supposed to be sophisticated counter-parties.
- falcolas 5y agoACX producer here. You get as much say in the contract as you do the average EULA. If you want to use Audible without a publisher to negotiate on your behalf, you get a 40% royalty rate, but not always (hence the complicated math comments). Some purchases are worth nothing (literally invoiced at a 0% royalty rate) to the authors/producers.
