Selling 10K books without a real marketing budget or promotional materials or
staff is not a very easy task. So is selling 10K worth of songs in single or
album. Most unfinanced artists will simply never pull those kind of numbers.
I have several friends who have published books. None of them have made a
living except one and that's because Oprah picked her book. She was very lucky.

That is the problem with large publishers. With the business model
situation that she is in, it will take about 200,000 sales before she can start
to be comfortable.
Self publishing is an alternative but it takes a lot more work for the person
doing it. No advances, you must make your own promotional dates etc. It is
possible to sell 10,000 books and make the same money though.
That is the same with music too.
