Harness the Power of Audio Books for Fun and Profit

Ever since they first burst onto the scene more than two decades ago, audio books have fulfilled an important part of the market, and the market for audio books of all kinds has continued to grow, even as sales of traditional books have declined. A look at the lifestyles many of us lead today gives some insight into why audio books are so consistently popular.

For instance, more and more of us are spending ever increasing amounts of time in the car, commuting to work, taking the kids to soccer practice, shopping and more. Virtually every study done in the past ten years has predicted that traffic will only get worse, resulting in more and more time spent in various vehicles. Audio books can transform this wasted time into valuable productive time, whether that time is spent learning the latest sales techniques or just enjoying the latest bestseller.

Of course the power and appeal of audio books is not limited to the commuter and the driver. Audio books are enjoying growing popularity as a way to make housework and other household chores less of a burden. Whether enjoyed while working in the garden or vacuuming the rugs, audio books can make any household chore less of a bother. And the ever increasing popularity of audio books which can be downloaded to iPods and other portable music players make it easier than ever for people to take their audio books with them no matter where they may travel.

Audio books are also great for walkers, joggers and other exercise enthusiasts. There is nothing like getting lost in a great audio book to make any workout go more smoothly, and many fitness enthusiasts use audio books for just such a purpose.

In addition to these many uses, audio books are perfect companions for those who travel, whether for business or pleasure. One of the best things about audio books is the fact that they can be carried anywhere, and enjoyed anywhere, from the beach to the pool to the plane. In addition, when you choose downloadable audio books you may be able to store a number of novels and other audio books on your portable music player, making it much more convenient than carrying around lots of different paperback or hardback books.

In addition to all these uses, audio books are perfect choices for those with sight difficulties, arthritis or other health impairments. Those readers with arthritis, for instance, are often unable to hold a book for a long period of time, and listening to an audio book alleviates that problem. Likewise, those with vision problems may find that reading strains their already poor eyesight, while those with more seriously impaired vision may not be able to read traditional books at all. For these people, audio books are a perfect answer.

With all these uses for audio books, it is easy to see why selling such products can be such a lucrative career. It is easy to see from just the above examples that there is a built in market for audio books, and those who choose to sell audio books can often make a great deal of money.

The key is to know which audio books to sell, and of course where to get those audio books. While it is of course possible to produce and market your own set of audio books, the costs of doing so are extremely high, and you would have to sell an incredible number of units just to break even in most cases. The more cost effective strategy is to purchase a selection of prerecorded and ready to sell audio books from one of the reputable firms specializing in providing audio books for resale. This alleviates the owner of the business from the burden of constantly creating new audio books, so he or she can focus on marketing the right mix of books and raking in the profits.
