<v Speaker 3>How much money can you actually might make writing a song.

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 4>A high one hundred, like a number one one hundred

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 4>song you can make you know, I mean as far

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 4>as it can generate I'm sorry, the song could generate,

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, from on the publisher side, a minimum of

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 4>a million dollars if it's a number one, you know

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 4>what I mean. You know, it could generate a lot

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 4>of money. And depending on the splits and who you know,

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 4>So if you're in a publishing deal, if you're not

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 4>a publishing deal, if you know what I mean, if

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 4>you're on fifteen percent of the song, if you on

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 4>twenty five percent of the song, if you on fifty.

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.079
<v Speaker 4>I mean it depends on the split. But the song

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 4>itself could generate a lot of money. You you can

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.679
<v Speaker 4>make a lot of money if you are a hit songwriter.
