If you are new to audiobooks, you might be asking yourself, “Where will my audiobook be sold?” Since there is no print book or digital eBook of an audiobook, it is natural to not know where to buy an audiobook. With Cloverly Audiobook, we make it crystal clear where your audiobook can be found so audiences all over the world can start listening as soon as you publish.
Instead of traditional print publishing, which relies on distributors to sell wholesale books to brick-and-mortar and online retailers, audiobooks are uploaded directly to the platforms they are sold on. In other words, as part of your contract with Cloverly Audiobook, we handle uploading your audiobook to the major retail platforms for you. It’s as simple as that.
The three major audiobook retailers are Apple Books, Amazon, and Audible. Once we post your audiobook for sale on any of those platforms, customers will be able to search your book title and find the audiobook for purchase directly on those sites.
Apple Books is Apple’s retail platform for audiobooks and eEbooks across iOS devices, including your iPhone, iPad, and MacBook. Once your book is purchased through Apple, the consumer can start listening straightaway on the Apple Books app on any of those devices.
Amazon and Audible have a lot of crossover, as Audible is owned by Amazon, but a customer can purchase your audiobook through either platform. Once purchased, your audiobook can immediately be listened to on Amazon Kindles or the Audible app on any smartphone.
No matter where your new customer purchased their audiobook, rest assured they will be able to quickly and easily begin listening to your work right to any of their smart devices.
