Question: Which of the following book formats has the highest<\/strong> year over year growth in the last three years?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Audiobooks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Paperback books<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. eBooks<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If chose A, you\u2019re absolutely correct. Unless you\u2019ve been living in a cave for the last few years, you have experienced the \u201cadvent of audio.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Think about it\u2014we listen to podcasts<\/a> in our cars and at the gym, portable high-quality Bluetooth speakers are abundant and everyone<\/em> is listening to audiobooks<\/a>. As a matter of fact, almost half of all Americans listened to an audiobook last year and the audiobook market is nearly 3.5 billon dollars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Putting this together, the audiobook market is growing at a rate of 30% per year, which nearly quadruples the growth rate for eBooks<\/strong>. This is a wave you have to catch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The issue is this: How does a self-published author<\/a> get their book onto Audible or iTunes? What steps are involved and how complicated is it to publish an audiobook? The barrier to entry into Kindle publishing is low\u2014write a book, get a cover, input some metadata, and you\u2019re done. Audiobooks have a higher barrier to entry because you need high quality recorded audio, but the revenue stream can be huge. So how do you get started?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
