Affiliate programs have long been very popular for online businesses. But with all of the many programs out there, it can be difficult to narrow your focus and find the right program for your website.
One new affiliate program is gaining in numbers every day and that is selling audio book downloads through niche websites. Audiobook downloads are a great way to monetize your website with relevant content that will be a prefect match to the theme of nearly any website out there.
Recent trends show why audiobooks are such a hot commodity. In 2004, the audiobook industry which was then in the form of cassettes and CD's was $800 million. By the end of 2005, it is estimated that audio books had become a $2 billion industry. Not many other industries can grow by 150% in one year!
To demonstrate what kind of money can be made in the audiobook industry, consider this: Audible.com, the leading audiobook download company, generated sales of $65 million in 2005 solely from audiobook downloads. Now consider that that is just a scratch in the industry as it is only 3.25% of the total $2 billion dollar audiobook industry.
That means that an astonishing share of 96.75% of the audiobook industry is up for grabs. After understanding those figures, don't you think that it would be wise if you were one with the foresight to jump on this opportunity?
Now consider this, sales are not going to stop at $2 billion dollars a year. Time management is a skill that more people are trying to master. Because of this, people are looking for ways to make the most of their dead time (driving in car, commuting, jogging, cleaning the house, working out or running errands).
People are discovering that they can listen to audio books, teleseminars, lectures and podcasts while doing other tasks through out the day. Since the selection of audiobooks is not limited to literature, people are happy to listen to self help info, how-to manuals and business books. Audiobooks and spoken word recordings have become the new brain food for the busy on the go multi-taskers around the world.
There are more reasons why audiobook sales are going to continue to soar. Almost all new cars are capable of playing digital audio files. And since nearly 100 million Americans drive to work by themselves each day, and with the amount of time these commuters are stuck in traffic, one can easily see the need for the brain food of audiobooks in this context.
Time is of the essence here. Don't you think that you want to be one of the first to offer audiobooks that can be downloaded to your websites visitors? You want to be an authority on selling audio book downloads before the trend really takes off.
Another great reason for wanting to sell audio book downloads on your website is that you do not have to do any work. It is a totally hands free system. After signing up as an affiliate, you will be mailed zipped files with your audiobooks ready to be loaded to your site. After loading the files to your website, you will not have to do a thing. All of the back end work and payments will be handled behind the scene so you will not have to dedicate any of your valuable time on such details.
These are high quality audiobooks from the world's top publishers. The titles are from every genre imaginable. Once you load the files, you will be ready to start making sales from day one.
You will earn a high commission from your audiobook store. You will earn nearly 4 times what the other major online bookstore affiliate programs offer which means that you can generate a much higher stream of income compared to other book or audiobook affiliate programs.
