Audible is rolling out major royalty changes for Audiobook payouts, and authors are definitely talking about it right now. Here’s the quick breakdown: ✅ PROS Higher royalty rates are coming: - Audiobooks can now potentially earn from Audible’s “all-you-can-listen” subscription listening - More discovery opportunities for series authors and bingeable content - Authors can now suggest pricing for audiobooks ⚠️ CONS - Royalties are becoming more tied to listener engagement instead of straightforward purchases - Payments may become less predictable - Some authors are concerned about “pooled revenue” models similar to Kindle Unlimited - The legacy royalty system is being phased out by the end of 2026, so creators will eventually need to adopt the new model or leave Audible distribution Personally, I think this is going to hurt smaller creators who only have a few hundred hours of listened time per month in their portfolio, while larger creators who are already making strong audiobook income will likely continue making even more money under this model. One thing is clear: audiobooks are continuing to become a bigger part of the publishing industry. 🎧 Read more directly from ACX here: https://www.acx.com/mp/blog/audible-new-royalty-model

I joined this group because I need to get my book on Amazon I wrote over 10 years ago and have been using as a lead magnet. SO DUMB! I also need to get workshops I've done with their planners on Amazon in book format. I have to do this, time can go like sand through an hourglass and I've got to make a schedule as an appointment with myself and put the time in I need to. If anyone else wants to be accountable I'd be so happy to show up and check in. Thanks for listening.

I just wanted to share a funny story - so I have been using chatGPT to help me do some "interior design" and this is the kind of the look I am going for. Anyhow you have to be careful when taking directions from AI because it can definitely be misleading. It suggested I go with a 9x12 rug and well once I opened the rug pad clearly this was TOO BIG and so i'm going to have to downsize to a 8x10. With that being said... my autistic four year old has been progressing and expanding his colorful vocabulary, and dropped his first F BOMB. ( @Liisa Reimann I know you would find that funny) and he said "Move the F***** Couch) 😆 so he could play FLOOR IS LAVA! Happy Mother's Day Ladie's Hope You're Having a Great One!

I am so excited!😆 pinch me… now to get some more up there!
