Assumimg that one has been successful at have a _book length_ work
accepted and published:

How many copies of the work would need to be sold before the book
might be considered a _commercial_ success, i.e., having covered the 
costs of publishing and perhaps even raised a profit, OR having sold
enough copies that the publisher would, all things being equal, be 
more open to the idea of publishing subsequent works by the same author?

Also, what are _typical_ rates, processes for remuneration of authors
of this type of publication ( books, novels, etc. ) ?  A once off 
purchase of the publishing rights, a royalty on a per copy sold basis ?
Something different ? All of the above ?

Any info gratefully accepted.
