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.
All her business projects, excluding trading, hadn’t earned her so much money in just a few days.
She was jovial.
With so much money at hand, she wouldn’t need to inject her own capital when operating the entertainment agency at all.
The songs would be the source of the capital for this venture. She would also take some of the money to give back to the fans. It was a win-win.
{Mother, I think that this singing career is quite lucrative. You should sing more songs.}
Diamond nodded in agreement when she heard that, and she echoed his words.
"I was thinking about the same as well. However, I can’t constantly release songs. Let them hunger for them. Only then would it work. Besides, don’t you think that it would be more fun if we recruited talented singers in the future and let them sing these songs?
Your mother won’t have time to hold concerts or sing for fans. I have other businesses to do. But I can give the songs I have to others. They will earn money for us. What about that?"
{Hehe, it seems that Mother has been serious about her studies. That works. It will be bad to tire you. However, in a year, it would be great to drop at least five songs. That way, your fans would have something to talk about.}
Diamond grinned, happy to be complimented and having her efforts recognized by her omnipotent son.
"Don’t worry. I will try my best to keep what I have right now. Even if they can’t increase, at least keeping them should be done!"
The handsome man was none other than Wyatt, who had just arrived at the place where he would be meeting with Diamond.
After alighting from the car, he locked the car and walked with large strides while humming Diamond’s song, Shining Star, which had been stuck in his mind lately.
He walked towards the café in front of him, which was something that he was very proud of.
The exterior design made the café look like it was built in a peaceful garden. It was a place which made one feel peaceful and connected to nature despite being in a residential area.
It was a café which took a lot of money out of his pockets, but he didn’t regret it.
After all, among his many projects, it was one business which brought significant earnings every month.
Despite being in such a neighborhood, it was very popular with the rich folks who didn’t like pressure or noisy places.
This neighborhood wasn’t as rich as the Garden View, Cherry Court and the others. However, there were still rich people everywhere, including this place.
They weren’t as rich as the kind of people he was used to mingling with, but when talking in common terms; they were rich.
At least, they afforded the big houses that they lived in. Some of these houses were even better than the ones in those villa complexes.
After all, in such places, people were buying reputations and connections.
