What is the average income of a self-published author? What are some of the factors that can affect an author's income? Are there any benefits to self-publishing?

I am interested in learning more about the average income of a self-published author. I have heard that it can vary greatly, and I would like to know more about what factors can affect an author's income. I am also curious about any benefits to self-publishing.

The average income of a self-published author can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, such as the quality of their work, the marketing effort put behind it, and the platform used for publication. However, a study conducted by Digital Book World in 2016 found that the average income for self-published authors was just over $5,000 per year. This figure is likely to be lower for authors who are starting out, and higher for established authors with a large backlist and a devoted fan base.

The average income of a self-published author can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, such as the quality of their work, how well they promotion and market their book, and luck. That said, many self-published authors make very little money from their work. A recent survey of over 5,000 self-published authors found that the median annual income from writing was just $3,120, with 43% of authors making less than $500 per year.
