Micheal Sweet Article (Record Profits)

Micheal Sweet has a short article on Blabbermouth that touches on how much he makes from record sales.  Thought it was kind of interesting.  I was actually a little surprised he made any money at all from record sales.  I kind of though the only money in music was licensing music for movie/tv/commercial use and touring (assuming you can pull in enough of an audience).

He's popular enough I figured he and Stryper make some but that's not much when you really think about it.

Especially just putting out one album a year.  Who could live on $10K a year?  My pizza delivery, living at home, hardly paying any bills son makes more than that.

Touring and selling merch is my guess.

Don't forget "meet & greets" 

True, probably a little there. They probably still get some on selling the back catalog too.
