Should I do Audio on my books?
I have a lot of people who ask if my books are available to be listened to. Should I invest the time and money to make them into Audio books?

@Julie Broad oh I watched your videos and ElevenLabs is very cool. The AI voice clones still feel kinda uncanny valley and it seems to take as much time to go through and make the edits/fixes on one's own AI clone as it does elsewhere. My point on the Google offer was that it seemed new and I haven't heard anyone mention it anywhere yet, it looked decently mature, and it was surprisingly open in terms of usage (unlike other platforms that lock you into them exclusively, or don't allow exporting, etc...)

@Julie Broad @Sarah Bean more real world stats on audiobook sales and production (in this case AT launch)…
How do you get paid for your book?
If you have a publishing company, do you setup your Amazon and other e-commerce sites under your publishing company? In another words, do you receive proceeds from your book via the publishing company or under your name?

Everything runs through my business.
Podcast guests
All - just finished listening to Awaken Titans Podcast. Found that 2 of our alum, @Scott Yamamura and @Jeremy Shapiro have both been guests on that podcast. I enjoyed both shows and wish you both much success.

Cover Art
Does anyone offer or know of where to find someone who could do affordable cover art? I’m booking some speaking events and want to have it ready for pre-sale content. Thank you πŸ™πŸ½

I much prefer working with a full time book cover designer with expertise in the categories you plan to dominate... I'd avoid AI covers and DIY covers. They don't compare to knowing a category, what sells there, and why...
