Let's Create an Audiobook Together

How many of you have dreamed about having an audiobook version of your novel or non-fiction book, but the task seemed impossible? How many of you want to be the definitive voice of your brand? How many of you can afford the exorbitant prices and excessive time and energy to find narrators and producers, then learn how and where to upload for distribution?

How many of you would pay a reasonable amount for the experience to come to you?

Say no more. I've got you, fam.

First, the reasons you should have audiobooks as part of your revenue stream:

• The hard work of creating and distributing the book is already done. If that book is unavailable in all formats, you're leaving money on the table.
• Audiobooks are a higher barrier to entry over KDP. Seriously savvy authors go into audio because there is less competition for reading/listening dollars.
• Audiobooks reach new audiences with more disposable income.
• Recording it yourself means you control the timeframe instead of a third-party contractor.
• Many audiobook customers also purchase a book in digital or print format.
• You retain full rights over your audiobook
• No crowdfunding or royalty splits to be able to afford an audiobook.
• If goal-oriented decisions are shaped by someone informed (like me) in the distribution process, you can use your audiobook as a "cookie" or freebee to attract new fans (i.e., readers who purchase the ebook during launch week get a link to a free audiobook).

A non-fiction book or memoir narrated by the creator of the material is the ultimate one-on-one experience. A no-brainer in authority marketing. As intimate as a conversation with an expert or friend.

For fiction, hiring a narrator is a sound option. Not all of us like the sound of our voice (although I'm learning that this common dislike eases the more you hear yourself) or can level up the storytelling to give listeners a satisfying experience. However, consider the following . . .

• Listening to an author read a book is emotional - akin to attending an exclusive book event where the author reads a sample. No one knows the pauses, the nuances, the pronunciations, the inflections, the way the author does. For a fan, listening to the author is the ultimate treat.
• Audiobook listeners aren't necessarily looking for perfection (though, together, we'll get you as close as possible). It's all about connection to the story. No third-party intermediary will get in the way of an author and reader/listener creating the fictional world together.
• Recording an audiobook prepares shy authors to get comfortable in front of a microphone and opens up the marketing world of podcasting.
