I had heard people posting here that having a book sell one million was equal to about $5k/year. Only have to have 6 of those to equal minimum wage in NY but technically you could live on it 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, there's a lot of indie authors out there with large series or multiple series writing full time They say you need 10 books minimum before it's possible More difficult for trad authors but indie authors won't hit the heights of truly successful trad authors

My point was the equivalent TikTok engagement to earn minimum wage is ~100k followers who engage an average amount
