Audiobook authors… your ads could now show up inside the Audible app! 🎧 I received an email announcing that Audible is launching a US open beta this November for Sponsored Products audiobook ads. If you’re already running Sponsored Products ads for your audiobooks through Amazon Ads, your campaigns will automatically bid for placements in the Audible app. No additional setup is needed. Here’s what to know: Ads can appear in carousels on the Audible homepage and audiobook detail pages. Listeners who tap your ad go directly to your audiobook’s detail page. 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗮. Clicks on Amazon will still cost you as usual. 👉 That last part caught my attention! This gives audiobook authors another place to reach people who are already looking for their next listen. We’ll have to see how these placements perform and what happens after the beta. Free clicks don’t guarantee sales, but I’m interested to see whether this helps with audiobook discovery. Are you currently running ads for your audiobooks, or have you mostly focused on your ebooks and paperbacks?

Not every breakthrough makes a sound Sometimes it’s the quiet decision to try again, the courage to change direction, or the strength to keep believing when nobody sees the effort Never underestimate what one determined heart can accomplish What’s one thing you’re determined to change or accomplish today? #NewDayNewPossibilities #KeepGrowing #BelieveInYourself #DailyMotivation

KDP recently shared another reminder about publishing scams, and I think this is especially important for newer authors. 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗞𝗗𝗣 𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘. KDP does not sell editing, formatting, book-design, marketing, or publishing packages. There are legitimate independent professionals who offer these services, but they do not work for KDP just because they mention Amazon in their name or advertisement. Scammers may contact you using your real name, book title, or even an actual Amazon office address. Having that information does not prove they’re connected to Amazon. Most of it can be found publicly on your book’s listing. A few things to remember: KDP will never ask for your Amazon password or complete banking information through an email, phone call, or direct message. KDP does not contact authors through social media to sell publishing services, promotions, or “rewards.” Don’t trust a company simply because it appears in a Google search or paid advertisement. Never allow someone you don’t trust to log into your KDP account. If you need account support, sign in at 𝗸𝗱𝗽.𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻.𝗰𝗼𝗺 and use the official 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗨𝘀 form. Also be careful with messages claiming a major publisher, movie producer, or Amazon representative has suddenly discovered your book and needs an upfront payment to move forward. Research the company independently before sending money or sharing personal information. If something doesn’t feel right, pause before clicking a link or paying an invoice. You can always ask inside our community before moving forward.
