Marketing: Boost Visibility & Sales

How can I better highlight the availability of my book on ACX?

First off, it’s important to create a robust, specific, and accurate profile of your title. Make your book’s description compelling and highly descriptive. You want narrators and other studio pros to get excited about working on this project…they might be spending many hours, days, or even weeks with your book, after all.

Basically: The more detailed and vivid your description is—and the more specific you are about the narrator attributes you want—the better.

How can I get the word out about my audiobook once it’s done?

BIG SALES TIP: Whenever you tell fans about your book, encourage them to become members on Audible.com and THEN buy it. Why? Because for a limited time, ACX will pay you an extra $25 every time your book is the first one that a new AudibleListener® member purchases on Audible.com. That means if 400 new members download your audiobook, you’ll have an extra $10,000 in your pocket—that’s ABOVE AND BEYOND your royalties. As you can imagine, these $25 payments could quickly outpace your royalties. All the more reason to spread the word!
