I’ve started!!! So excited. I’m nervous too. posting here so I don’t back out

People love listening to books! 📖 In 2025, this screen tells a simple story: 8,017 audiobook purchases. Audiobooks aren’t priced by you—they’re priced by length. Most of mine average about $3.50 per sale, which puts me right around $28,000 from audiobooks alone last year. This is why I love Amazon KDP. One book isn’t one income stream. When it’s positioned correctly, the same content can earn across multiple formats (ebook, paperback, hardcover, audio) and multiple marketplaces—without creating something new every time. The numbers are climbing and i'm ready to continue to GROW in 2026! Are you ready to grow with me? One day it would be amazing to get $100k annually just from audio, and the truth is I know it is doable I just have to stack more books and repeat the process.
