If you publish audiobooks, there are several new tools rolling out that could make it easier to launch, promote, and sell your titles.
Hereโs whatโs coming:

ACX is rolling out the ability to set up pre-orders before your audiobook officially releases. This could be a great way to build momentum before launch and give your existing audience a chance to grab the book early.

Audible now has downloadable promotional graphics for your audiobook titles that are already sized for social media. This should make it much easier to promote your audiobooks without having to design every graphic yourself.

This is probably the update Iโm most interested in. Authors will have more opportunities to advertise audiobook titles through Amazon Ads in the U.S., which means your audiobook could appear when readers are searching for your books or similar titles.

ACX says theyโre also shortening the amount of time it takes for new audiobooks and updates to go live. That should make coordinating audiobook launches with paperback and ebook releases much easier.
Audiobooks have been a significant part of my publishing income, so Iโm definitely going to be watching how these tools develop.

If you already have audiobooks published, which one of these updates are you most excited about?
And if you havenโt created an audiobook yetโฆ this might be another reason to start thinking about adding audio to your publishing strategy. ๐ง๐
