Description

Both left and right, we hear of inexperienced individuals who jump into the audiobook publishing business and start making passive income, sometimes even as high as five or six figures. And although I cannot give you any promises, I have cashed in on it myself. In fact, 80% of my income consists of audio books. It pays for all of my bills and more. Books I published 3 years ago, are still making money. Go figure.

Recently, when I was watching TV, I saw an Audible commercial. Amazon is doing everything in their reach to pull people into their audio book store and to gain a higher market share. This means they are getting more and more listeners and customers each day.

The demand is increasing. As of now, estimates are that just in the United States, about 85 million people listen to audio books. Audible amounts for about 41%, experts say, so about 35 million listeners. Stats also claim audiobook customers listen to an average of 15 books per year. That means almost 1.3 billion books are being listened to each year, just in the USA alone (about 0,52 billion on Audible). These are amazing business opportunities!

But the competition is increasing as well. More publishers are finding out how well audiobooks sell, and every day, new books are being published. With about 425,000 published and about 10,000 new titles arriving each year. So how can you even compete? By knowing what you're doing! By knowing where the money is! And still, the ratio customers to publishers shows us just how great the opportunity is. Listeners across the world are waiting for your books! There aren't enough out there yet!

When I tell neighbors, friends, and family what I do for a living, most of them admit to listen to audiobooks quite regularly. If there is anything on the rise, it's audiobooks.  There has never been a better opportunity to publish a truckload of audio books and make considerate profit. So my invitation to you is: Don't be left out! Get your hands on that money now while the market is still hot, new, and on the rise!

This last module was completely ridiculous. 1. Sources for what? Seemed to be for keywords and maybe how to get rankings. 2. Zero site references for where to get them. 3. Appears to be some sort of "stream of consciousness" by the author of this page 4. Too loose and unstructured page 5. Meaningless and a waste of time & space for all concerned

Good course. Walks you through ACX account creation and set up. Better alternative to many other over priced courses out their in the market.

This is just an overview on audiopublishing. The author leaves too many topics opened and unanswered. For example he says he does not use upwork or fiverr to write his content and advertises another course to discover what he does instead. To the same extent keyword / niche research is not enough explained.

By far this is the one of the worst courses you can fin on this website. The "teacher" tell you obvious and common informations that you can find everywhere online. He brags saying he wrote hundreds of books and maded 6 digit numbers sellings books but never backed up what he said. He created a new account just for the course instead of showing his real acx sells, and you can really understand he just wants to pretend someone he's not. You can find better informations online and for free. He's just lazy, he's knowlede on the matter is superficial and his body language is terrible. Most of the times he's just lying down on a bed talking bored, now tell me if that's the proper way to teach something and inspire the people he's talking to. I'm not surprised his course has like 20 students with very low grade. Before writing this review I wrote him to explain my reasons and he took 2 months to write back. Not a single word that he was sorry, he was just arrogant saying he did everything well. I didn't pretend a refund but at least understanding for the poor contents he provided. Long story short, I felt scammed with this course, it didnt teach anything good and I don't recommend enroll for any of his courses made with the only purpose of earning money and not actually teaching something
