Audio Book Sale - How to profit from it

In the last months, the number of audio book stores offering an audio book sale has increased exponentially. It seems that everybody is selling them and to be able to compete they are offering in most of the cases a big audio book sale with great discounts.

How can a normal person profit from this, earning some extra money?

Basically there are two things you can do :

1) Convert your books or e-books to audio books

If you have written a book or e-book , and you are having problems to sell it, you can create an audio version of it. Unless you have a great voice, you should look for some professional voices to do it for you, perhaps in some of those websites where you can post projects to be done by freelancers. Then you can promote it on the web, or offer it to some of the audio book stores which are offering an audio book sale.

2) Affiliate Programs

You can sign-up as an affiliate in one of the mentioned stores offering an audio book sale. Almost every website selling audio books, has an affiliate program, as it is an excellent way to increase sales with little effort. Although the stores are receiving less money for each sell, if they have a good affiliate program, with good commissions, they can increase the number of sales, having a good number of people offering its audio books.

As you can see, these are two ways to join this exciting new trend, without spending hundreds of dollars in setting up an audio book store or similar business.

And the next time you hear the phrase "Audio Book Sale", you will smile, as you will be part of one or more of them.
