Selling On Audible Review

The audiobook market is rapidly growing, with audiobooks accounting for $2.67 billion of book sales in 2019, several that's expected to attain $13.45 billion by 2027.

Having said that, authors cannot ignore the importance of creating and distributing an excellent audiobook to accompany the print and digital formats of the work.

But one burning question in the minds of several self-published authors is whether they need to choose an exclusive deal with ACX or try wide distribution.

For those interested in going wide, Findaway Voices offers many enticing benefits, which we'll explore in this review.

How Does Audible Membership Plan Work?

First, you remove a free 30-day trial of  Audible and get a free audiobook. This may be one of many classics or even an Audible original. At the conclusion of one's trial, you can purchase a monthly subscription of Audible called Audible Plus or Audible Premium plus. You'll need to sign up for the membership using your Amazon account.

Every month, Audible awards you with one credit. You need to use this credit to purchase Audible audiobooks in various categories including technology, fashion, romance, social media, ads, etc. If you wish to buy more books, you can purchase more Audible credits or pay per audiobook.

You can pay attention to Audible audiobooks anywhere using apps for the phone, Windows, iOS, Android, Mac computer and your Alexa device.

All About ACX

Let's dive deeper into ACX, as currently, they're the very best destination for a publish your audiobook.

Setting up your ACX account is pretty simple—you will need your tax information and your Amazon login to get going and you're taken to this signup page below to input your data. Very easy and an easy task to do.

Once you've done all this, you'll input your tax information and your bank-account information, and you're ready to start uploading your audiobook!

This process I've laid out in this video below to produce it simple for you. You may need your audiobook files, your square book cover, and about 5 minutes to have this job completed.

So, Is Audible Worth It?

Paying a monthly fee to get selling on audible membership is worth it if you pay attention to audio away from home and love reading.

I often choose the ebook and audiobook, a practice that proves expensive, but I love having versions I will annotate and highlight. For me, it simplifies reading and writing. You can mark your place in an audiobook and make notes utilizing the Audible app. However, this isn't as efficient as having a copy of the book that you could flick through on a screen or even a tablet.

I also haven't found a means of lending audiobooks to friends or colleagues and the audiobook recommendation system in the app isn't as developed as the one on Amazon. I've been an Audible subscriber since 2014. I've listened to dozens of fiction and non-fiction books in the last years on Audible using my Apple iPhone.

Audible is my favourite means of making the most of my time while commuting, exercising and travelling. If you wish to remove an Audible 30-day trial, you receive a free book. If you wish to try Audible and need some book recommendations, Understand this list of great audiobooks.
