9. Gross vs. Net
Total revenue from a gig, album, tour, or other event
is called the “gross” earnings
What the artist puts in her/his pocket after all
expenses have been paid is the “net”
Many artists have earned millions and been forced
into bankruptcy due to poor management, under
what conditions artists are eventually paid
Never be afraid to ask, “What do you expect I will
net from this opportunity?”
