How do Movie Royalties Work?

Well, Movies and Music are the Intellectual Properties (IP Assets) in its truest forms. Intellect means mind and intellectual means mind work. Producing a movie is just like writing a book. Means here a movie producer, artists and script writers work hard for few months and make a movie. And once the movie is released, they will get a royalty cheque for life time.

The Best part about this Income is that, It’s a totally passive income. Means this is a one time hard work. Once you make a movie, you don’t have to work hard again and again to get those royalty cheques. Whenever in the future, the movie is played on the TV Channel or its music is played in the Bar, restaurants or hotels, the movie owners will get a royalty.

Now only this but the artist, writer, producer and publishers all will get some percentage of the royalty according to the pre-signed agreement of the movie.

If you do a job than you have to be present at your job place all the time to earn that pay cheque. If you miss a day or two at your job place, some amount of money will be deducted from your pay cheque every month.

But in case of movies or any other intellectual properties this is not the case. You have to work at once only. Once you put all the effort and hard work behind creating an Intellectual property (Movie in our example), that stream of passive income is steady and for rest of your life.

Film stars and movie producers work at once and than they get a royalty cheques for the rest of their lives. This is the example of smart work. They focus their time and efforts behind developing a passive income stream and not the active one. While what the most of the people do in their lives is that, they focus on active income streams. And thus, to maintain that active income stream, they have to work hard and if they stop working, they have to compromise with that active income stream.

But this is not the case of movie stars and film producers. They work hard at once and than they earn a passive income for the rest of their lives.

So if you want to to work hard in your life than work smart. Work on developing Passive Income streams rather than on active Income. Once your passive income stream will be developed, weather you work or not, the money will steadily flow into your bank account…!!!
