If you’re just creating audiobooks as a hobby, or do not plan to invest any time or energy in marketing your own books, then Audible ACX would be a good choice, because they do not charge any upfront fee. Which platform would be more suitable to you depends on what your publishing goals are. The Soundwise mobile and web apps are designed to be as close to the author’s own shop as possible. The fact that there is little to none profit sharing ensures that you reap all the benefits of your hard marketing work yourself. In contrast, Soundwise gives authors plenty of freedom and the tools to be fully in control of their audiobook’s destiny. The search engine of Audible may help a bit in the discovery of new audiobooks, but at the end of the day, self-published authors still need to drive the majority of the sales themselves if they want to make any meaningful amount of money from their audiobooks. ![]() You may check the status of your project by visiting your project. Audible doesn’t help in the production costs of an audiobook or aid in the marketing efforts. In most cases, titles that meet our ACX Audiobook Submission Requirements and that are submitted with retail-ready cover art, audio, and product information will be posted for retail on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes approximately 10-14 business days after they are submitted to ACX. And your Audible product page will also list an abundance of titles from other authors, ready to catch the eye of a potential buyer. However, the competition is just as fierce. There are definitely a large number of listeners who subscribe to Audible. Authors sign up for Audible ACX mainly to gain so-called “exposure”- they hope that their audiobook will be easily discovered by new listeners once they’re listed on a big marketplace. ![]()
