Audiobook Marketing Program – AMP up your sales and visibility
How do I market my audiobook? That’s a question I get a lot, and I’m going to do a short series on some ways to charge up your marketing for your audio book. But before I dive into this first segment, I’m so excited to announce the launch of Pro Audio Voices’ AMP – Audiobook Marketing Program. For years I’ve been working with a range of marketing professionals to develop a way to help my clients sell more of their audiobooks. My goal has always been to help my clients not just get into, but to THRIVE, in the audiobook marketplace. What does that take?
Great – not just Good
The first thing any author in the audiobook market needs is a GREAT audiobook. “Ok” or “Good” or even “Pretty Good” are not good enough. With all the millions of audiobooks available, there is no reason any listener should have to settle for anything less than great. But, the other truth is that there are a LOT of audio books that are only Good or Ok. So step number one to getting ahead in this audiobook world is to have a GREAT audiobook. How do you ensure that? Work with experienced professionals who can help you find an excellent narrator – not just someone who reads well and has a “nice voice.” Any “story” needs a skilled actor to make it come alive for the listener – and I put “story” in quotes because even straight up non-fiction or how-to books are telling a story. If you’re an author who firmly believes your story should be narrated in your own voice – that’s fine, but get professional help in coaching you or directing the audiobook, to make it the best YOU can do.
