I feel Amazon is a scam. I created and published audiobook Blue Ivy Brown Skin Girl, it was sold on Audible. Sean Diddy Combs had my author account eliminated, and Audible is still selling the audiobook, yet I don't earn any royalties. I'm contacting the IRS, to tell them I should not have to pay taxes because I don't receive royalties. ❤

Just starting out. Actually, the reason I decided to pursue audiobook narration is because I self published two books and wanted to narrate the audiobooks for them myself. I figured if I'm able to successfully pull them off, it could be a good direction for me to go on and narrate audiobooks for other indie authors.

Appreciate your kind words, Pete! While I'm not giving legal advice, I do have years of law enforcement experience. And what you described could be labeled as fraud, if the intent is to block the narrator from earnings. And that's why legally-binding contracts are created. To prevent what you described. But, to keep it simple. I've never heard of that happening. But there are scams in every industry. That's why I cover how to spot and avoid scams in my Audiobook Blueprint course. So, narrate carefully, and if you ever need deep insight, the course is linked. Good luck!

Hello! And thank you! My take is that everyone can try, but not everyone will succeed. The most successful people in audiobook narration have the tools, the talent, and the resilience to keep going. The truth that a lot of people overlook is that it will likely take several tries to get a contract. And once they do get a contract, the production process can drive the sanest person crazy. This is why I provide 1-on-1 coaching and map out the process step-by-step in my Audiobook Blueprint course that's linked in the description. Having repeatedly gone through the audiobook narration process, I know that most people won't persist, which also weeds out the competition. 😉 I hope this made sense.

The idea that the platform takes 20% is laughable.

They take 60%. But they do own the platform. The perks of ownership.

📔📖 Hi there your video is amazing and you explained everything really well ... I am from Pakistan and a teacher .... I also intend to start off my PhD next year but I don't hv much funds ..also married with three kids .. this side hustle could be an answer to so many problems of mine .. I hv been doing voice overs for few channels here locally ..do I stand a chance at ACX as well .. plz plz let me know ...your course also had a limitation to US residents only 😔

also need your 1- on 1 free coaching session ..cos it would help me a lot ...

Hello. I have to limit my course to U.S. because ACX isn’t available in all countries. And there are many rules and regulations about selling outside of the U.S. But, searching results specifically for your country would be best for you. Good luck.
