Tim O'Reilly hat mal beschrieben, was man so an Einnahmen erwarten kann..

Tim O'Reilly informiert darüber, was man als BuchautorIn an Verkaufszahlen
und Einnahmen erwarten kann, inwiefern man vom Bücherschreiben leben kann
und auf welche Art man ans Schreiben herangehen sollte.


Median unit sales -- 15,078 copies
Average unit sales -- 25,953 copies
Largest single-edition unit sales -- 319,176 copies
Largest multiple edition unit sales -- 654,341 copies
Smallest unit sales for a book with its lifetime fully played out -- 3,548
copies
[...]

At average prices, discounts, and royalty rates, that means that you can
probably expect to earn somewhere between $15,000 and $60,000 by writing an
O'Reilly book.

Writing a book is often a labor of love, following on the heels of many
years of technological experience. Some people can write a book in a few
months, but many take close to a year. $15,000 is good money if you make it
writing a book in a few months of full time work, or while holding down a
day job. (That's why most computer books that are "day and date" are
written by professional authors who are able to write quickly, and most
in-depth or professional titles are written by people for whom writing is a
sideline and so take much longer to produce.) New and rapidly changing
topics often require revisions every 12 or 18 months, so you should budget
for that as well.
