10-Day Audiobook Creator Online-Course
Audiobook creation is a growing and accelerating business. You may already know that audiobook creation is often touted as the way to riches. These claims come from more than one quarter. And it's correct: with audiobooks you can achieve a significant sales volume, you have less to worry about compared to drop-shipping or selling physical products anywhere – especially if it is through one of the big platforms like Amazon or eBay and similar.
Unfortunately, it's usually not mentioned that you will lose around 68% of your profits to Amazon (owning Audible) or Apple -- if you sell through them.
So there must be a better way -- and there sure is!
In this course, we will get you all set on the path of improving your profits and no longer fall for the common rip-offs that make you lose money to the big-tech platforms mentioned above.
We commend you for wanting to change this and enrolling in this course.
You will learn how to free up those 68% Amazon and friends would 'normally' take from you, and how you become your own audiobook entrepreneur (and boss).
We have done it, and you can, too! This online course will teach you how.
