Another point I could've have mentioned: it takes KDP 60 days to pay you after an earnings period and ACX 30 days to pay you after an earnings period. Which platform do you prefer? 👇🏼

This delay is definitely the worst part about KDP since it can mess with your cashflow, especially when ads are invoiced at least every month

I'm considering doing an audiobook I guess it's ACX but what type of market is there not even sure? I've gotten quotes on Fiverr and a couple I like the most are still $850. Can I sell a nuff audiobooks to recoup? I still need to do a ton of research

@@DaneMcBeth ACX Less competition (only, US, UK, Canada), no ads (you can't even advertise your ACX ASIN on Amazon via AMS), can create social media marketing to draw attention to your audiobooks, still a larger investment that most won't do, still can make ~$350-$500 net/book/month If your niche is full of heavy hitters with massive AMS budgets, your KDP gross is going to have +50% towards AMS and reduce your net income dramatically. Most publishers still don't go the ACX/audiobook route, and still focus on KDP/eBook, Paperback, Hardcover. I'm speaking about non-fiction.

Sean My Audiobook sales have dropped since my account got flagged and can not use promo codes anymore. However I started another ACX account recently which I publish 16hr bundle, which rarely generate a sale. In 2020 it was super easy to get sales even without promocodes and reviews. Audible seems to have so much competition now.

can you release an audiobook same time as an KDP book?

what if we prefer to narrate our book? I have some experience public speaking and being a communications operator, and want to create a personal connection with my audience due to my niche... can you make a video about how to do this for converting a KDP title to a self-narrated audiobook?

Do both of these options go to audible? Thank you for the video!

Hello Dane, I am really thankful for the information that you've shared in this video. At the same time I have a question to ask from you. I recently started to publishing a book on kdp. But I didn't publish it. (Due to some modifications) Previously I had given it a Title & Subtitle (*I have not published the book). I had saved it as a draft. But now I want to edit the Title & Subtitle. Is it okay to edit Title & Subtitle at this moment? (Practically I can edit the Title & Subtitle just by clicking that text box. I am worried is it against the amazon guidelines to change the Title & Subtitle at this moment) Please could you share your knowledge on this? Thank you very much.

My ebook on kdp is under kdp select, can i publish audio book of same book on ACX? I am asking because it is enroll in kdp select so can it be on ACX as we cannot upload book somewhere else when enrolled in kdp.
@DaneMcBeth Жыл бұрын
yes, just can't publish or distribute your ebook anywhere outside of kdp

when you mentioned audible ads is separate from KDP's ads, but when I search for a specific book, Amazon gave me options to buy in audible, paperback, kindle and etc... if I promote using Amazon's ads for paperback/kindle versions, do I still need to pay ads for audible?
