If you want to make more sales and earn more money from your eBook, Kindle or Paperback book then why not simply turn your book into an audiobook? The world has gone audiobook and podcast crazy and you need to take advantage of this!

In this short video I’ll show you what you need to do to make an audiobook, and if you’d like to watch detailed training videos showing you exactly every step of the way, then click on the link below this video to find out more….

Step 1 – Launch the Kindle version first. Sign up to KDP, click to join “Kindle Unlimited” to get maximum % royalties and to get access to marketing campaigns, download the “done-for-you” templates to get your book instantly looking great and get your book on Amazon as a digital Kindle book first. That way, it’ll be easy to link your new audiobook version to the already-published Kindle version and the audiobook will be on offer on the same Amazon page as your paperback and Kindle versions, giving your customers the choice, or they may buy all three! My full training videos will tell you exactly what to do including optimising your keywords and categories to maximise your Kindle sales.

Step 2 – THINK AUDIO. So many authors don’t do this and wonder why they don’t get good feedback. Go through your existing book carefully and tweak the content so it makes sense in just the audio format. Remember that listeners won’t see graphs, charts or photos and also may need more prompts as to who is saying what in fiction books when they can’t see the layout, spacing or speech marks! Think of your book as a “radio script” and you won’t go wrong.

Step 3 – Find your narrator. And you know, the ideal narrator might be living at your address! Yes, why not consider narrating your OWN books; make things personal. You’ll get the exact delivery and voice style that you want, and you’ll save narrator fees! At VoiceoverMasterclass.com, we’ve been training all sorts of people to be voiceovers and narrators, it’s fun and can be very lucrative. But if you’d like to hire someone else to narrate and record your book, audition at least 5 to 10 potential voices that fit the “sound” and age you’re looking for. You can use ACX for this, FiverrPro, Voices.com or find narrators direct via their websites. Make sure their proposed fees includes recording, editing, mastering and all rights.

Step 4 – If you’re narrating yourself, find a local studio you can hire or ideally do it yourself at home. My videos will show you in detail the best way to set up a recording facility and to edit and export using free software. It needn’t cost a fortune to set up a studio to record audiobooks at home – the key to professional results is in the techniques used.

Step 5 – Check that the exported files are correct in all the technical areas of levels, silence gaps, file type and data rate, or they’ll get rejected. Most audio software programs will give you all the technical options you need, you just need to select the correct parameters and export. Then upload to ACX with your optimal keywords, sales description and cover artwork. Choose the audio sample very carefully to intrigue potential buyers, and fiction writers, don’t reveal any plot spoilers in the sample! Now - your audiobook is on sale to the world!
