So between physical goods and digital mastering, we're looking at in the ballpark of $2500 for 100 units, or the ballpark of $6000 for 500 units.
This would factor in recouping costs of digital sales, the tiny bit streaming brings in, and physical sales.
51 Miles From Nowhere did well. It did really well as far as my music has gone. It's still a lot to recoup and make money from.
If the physical album were priced at $30, that means we'd have to practically sell out of the 100 run to cover costs of production and digital mastering.
If we did the 500 run, we could recoup with selling 200 units at $30, which would leave 300 units to sell and *hopefully* turn a profit on. But, once again, that initial investment is much higher.
