This idea is completely from scratch so bear with me. Feel free to call me out if it’s completely stupid/ has been done hundreds of times before in different ways.
One of my friends is a professional voice over artist. He works freelance and has done some pretty big adverts. Recently he told me about how his grandad had released a few “walking route” books on amazon and how he was thinking of helping him out by recording an audible version. Now these trekking books rake in 10k a month! This got me thinking. There must be loads of selfpublishers out there who don’t have the means to record an audible version of their book (or perhaps haven’t thought about the value of it).
So here’s the business idea:
Contact good selling authors who are self publishers on amazon. Find books they have published that have lots of reviews and 4 star plus rating. Offer to record an audible version of their book completely for free in exchange for a commission cut of all audible versions sold.
Alternatively- buy rights to the books altogether and start an audio empire.
Thoughts?
