13.1 Should Your Book Become an Audiobook?

The emPowered Author: A Marketing Podcast for Nonfiction Authors

Should your book become an audiobook? Well, it depends.
Audiobooks take time, resources and energy to create no matter how you create them. For some authors, it’s the perfect fit for their target reader. For others, it may not be the best use of efforts. It all, well, depends. Understanding the pros and cons for the listeners and you, the author, will help you make a more solid, strategic decisions.
Today is a big day over here as I'm launching the audiobook version of Make Your Author emPact: Sell More Books, Increase Your Reach and Achieve Your Why. As myself and Phil Bright, my audiobook producer and guest for this season of the podcast, worked together on this effort, I took notes and wanted to bring you a season on all things audiobooks. Today, we are diving into the pros and cons of an audiobook to help you determine if an audiobook makes sense for you.

Marketing should emPower you, not be the bane of your existence. (I see you, author... and I know that you likely despise the word and all that comes with it!) You’ve found your one-stop-shop for marketing insights from an author who has been there, done that, and knows exactly what you need. The emPowered Author Podcast is the deep-dive, share all the good stuff marketing podcast for nonfiction authors who know the power of marketing and want innovative, out-of-the box strategies and tactics that are realistic, attainable and impactful. It's hosted by me, Stephanie Feger, who happens to be the author of several books and the owner and chief strategist of the emPower PR Group, a boutique marketing solution for nonfiction authors.
