How to Create an Audiobook with No Pain
Oct 16 @ 3:50 pm – 4:50 pm

Audiobooks are booming in popularity, and they’re only growing.

With so many people craving audiobooks these days, if you’re not providing them, you could be losing out on extra royalties every month. 

My friend Derek Doepker has a short audiobook that regularly sells 120+ copies each month without ANY audiobook marketing on my part.

This is all passive sales.

The cool thing is, unlike ebooks, it’s not overly crowded so you stand a much better chance of having your books be seen and sold there.

I’m doing a free webinar training with Derek on how you can start profiting with audiobooks.

You can join us at Thursday, November 7th at Noon Mountain HERE: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5824343292459092493

Derek will answer all your questions about whether it’s best to do it yourself or outsource.

Even if you live outside the US and UK (ACX distribution territories) you can still us ACX and another resource with some special secrets he’ll share.

On this webinar you’ll discover:

  • How audiobooks are generating hundreds to thousands of extra dollars in royalties for some self-published authors on auto-pilot.
  • How you can produce audiobooks on any budget, and distribute them from anywhere in the world.
  • The critical facts you have to consider before deciding whether to outsource or produce your own audiobooks that could save you thousands of dollars.
  • Where to hire professional audiobook narrators if you wish to outsource.
  • The exact microphone, software, and equipment you need to produce limitless top-quality audiobooks on a shoestring budget.
  • Your audiobook questions answered personally.

Ready? I am … see you there.

Things have changed rapidly in the world of audiobooks since Richard Rieman’s award-winning book, The Author’s Guide to Audiobook Creation was first published.

For the first time last year, half of all Americans over the age of 12 have listened to an audiobook!

  • Did you?
  • Do you know someone who has?
  • Have your book buyers asked if you have your book available in audio?

There are new major competitors to Amazon’s Audible in the audiobook creation world.

  • What options are there?
  • Do you know who they are?
  • Should you be distributing through them outside of Amazon’s Audible?

Nonfiction books (History, Biographies, Memoirs) are overtaking many other genres among audiobook listeners.

  • Meaning that NF authors should be creating audiobooks—is yours available now?
  • Will it be your voice or a professional narrator?
  • How will you use it to market your expertise and position it?

Fiction books are naturals for audiobook listeners.

  • No genre is left unturned—what’s yours?
  • Should you have mixed voices/narrators or have a single voice?
  • How about adds—a little music for scene changes?

The Audiobook Wizard, Richard Rieman, will share:

  • Marketing Strategies and Tips for HOW to Market Your Audiobook
  • When Narrating Your Own Book is the Best Option ( and sometimes it is!) plus shortcuts to do a combo of YOU and a Narrator
  • How You Can Cover the Cost of Audiobook Production through Crowdfunding
  • How to Use Audible’s new promotional codes to get reviews and boost sales
    Plus, How to Avoid Audiobook Publishing Predators

    …and, of course, much more.
