Audiobooks are the new hot thing. Everyone is hopping onto the trend of listening to audiobooks rather than reading a novel or an e-book. So if you want to profit more from a book you wrote, the way to go is to convert it to an e-book. That may sound like a lot of work and time but ghostwriters have you covered.
All you have to do is hire a ghostwriter and they will do everything for you from narrating the book to editing and producing it. I know one question that may have popped into your head is why hire a ghostwriter when I already have a book editor? The one most important reason is the difference in prices.
Ghostwriting service rates vary from 35-50 cents a word while book editing service prices range from $0.07- $0.12 so if you calculate that for the total number of words in your book the difference between ghostwriting service prices and book editing services is astronomical. Furthermore, with a ghostwriter, you can strike a deal and get them to narrate for you as well. Therefore, even though the narration may raise the ghostwriting service rates it is still more economical compared to the book editing service prices with additional charges for hiring a narrator. Thus, ghostwriters are the wiser choice.
Now that we have covered that let’s talk about why people prefer audiobooks over ebooks/novels
Ability to Multitask
With how fast-paced the world has gotten nowadays everyone is hustling, they are constantly on the go so audiobooks are something you can listen to while getting other things done. You no longer have to specifically take time out of the day to read and nowadays everything is about convenience.
Faster learning
You cannot increase your reading speed but you can increase the speed of an audiobook to 1.5 or 2x and go through a lot of information quickly.
Better Retention
Not everyone can retain information after reading, some people are visual learners while others retain best by listening so for them audiobooks is the best option. So they can listen to their textbooks or required novels so they can retain important information.
Uplifting
Just like some people like to listen to music to boost their mood, listening to an audiobook can also improve your mood and make you feel lighter and happier.
More Impactful
Some books have poetic or musical passages. While others have characters speaking with a particular accent or a language so books make them more enjoyable. The poems/ passages have the impact they intend to create while the accent adds more dimension to the story.
If you are an author or are considering becoming one. Give audiobooks a shot, hire a ghostwriter and thank me later when you are a world-famous author. No jokes apart audiobooks are just becoming famous so become a part of the community when you have the chance.
