Your Book Isn’t Finished Until It’s Heard: Why Audiobooks Are Your Next Power Move

You did it! You launched your nonfiction book (or, you will soon!) on Amazon—paperback? Check. Kindle? Check. You’ve got readers, reviews, and maybe even a celebratory glass of champagne under your belt. But if you’ve stopped there, you might be leaving a whole world of opportunity unexplored.

Let’s talk about your audiobook.

More than 2 billion hours of audiobooks were listened to in 2024! That’s not a fluke—it’s a massive shift in how people consume information. And if your book isn’t available in audio yet, you’re missing a big chance to grow your impact and income.

Here’s why an audiobook could be the smartest next move. It will:

– Strengthen Your Author Platform

Your audiobook isn’t just a new format—it’s a new way for people to discover you. It creates more visibility, more touch-points, and more trust with your audience. And when you’re building an author platform, a business, or a movement, that kind of presence is priceless.

– Reach People Who Wouldn’t Otherwise Read Your Book

Let’s face it—not everyone reads. But they do listen. Whether it’s in the car, on a walk, or folding laundry, audio fits into our busy lives. You have access to new listeners who may love or need your content, but never take the time to read your paperback. When your book becomes an audiobook, you suddenly show up in places where reading isn’t an option.

– Save Time (Your Sanity) and Money

You don’t need to become a voice actor or figure out complicated recording software. I take care of the entire audiobook process for you—from professional narration to publishing on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes—so you can focus on what you do best.

Note: A client recently asked me if the price she received from a recording studio — that she was considering hiring to help her record her audiobook — of $8,000 was too much? HOLY MOLY! Yes, that is too much. How many audiobooks would you need to sell to pay that off? (If you sell your audiobook for $12, that's approximately 667 audiobooks!) 

– Add a Whole New Stream of Income

You’ve already done the hard part—writing the book. Turning it into audio lets you earn more from the same content. It’s a smart, scalable way to grow your revenue without reinventing the wheel.

– Elevate Your Credibility

Having a professionally produced audiobook instantly boosts your credibility. It’s polished, it’s powerful, and it positions you as a serious author and expert in your field.

Your words are meant to be heard, not just read.

And the best part? You don’t have to do it alone. I help nonfiction authors turn their books into beautiful audiobooks—without the cost or overwhelm.
