'...The work involved in selling these rights is minimal. The income is substantial. If I am negotiating with the publisher, and we have determined to sell them world rights, I try to get the percentages up to 75-80% for the author.'

This is from an agent's perspective, but not everyone will have an agent, especially if you're in a smaller market (i.e. not the US/UK). If you're negotiating for yourself, keep this in mind.

'Publishers usually try to negotiate “world rights”. This is the right to publish or license the publication of books throughout the world. Publishers will usually offer the author 50% split on the income from these rights. That is a good deal for the publisher, but not such a good deal for authors...' [cont'd in thread]
