I am looking for a co-founder for a project I've been working on for about three years but am just getting around to monetizing.
Audiobook publishing.
I know, between Audible and Podcast there is no niche for a new audiobook company.
Here is why you're wrong. "Audio" is taking off like a rocket right now. Everyone has access to every audiobook ever made in their pocket, but distribution and cost stand in the way.
OverDrive is great but lacks availability. Popular books are on 2-3 month wait lists.
Audible is great but most people don't want an Audiobook subscription.
Most people want want ONE audiobook, right NOW, that they are going to LOVE.
My company is playing to that customer.
(I have completed steps 1-3)
Step 1. A database of the top ~1,000 audiobooks.
Step 2. A dead simple site that allows user ranked and curated lists by genre.
Step 3. Allow users to modify sources to add for each book. Like their own Amazon affiliate link, OverDrive, YouTube, Magnet or Direct Download link. Each entry can be voted and commented on.
Step 4. Purchase rights to and produce audiobooks, using the platform to leverage the product line.
Please e-mail for more info, thanks!

- jrpt 7y agoWhy can't someone just buy directly from Audible / Amazon with a one-time purchase instead of a subscription? For example, Obama's book is available on Amazon in audiobook format for $7.99. https://www.amazon.com/Dreams-My-Father-Story-Inheritance/dp/B0009XC6DM/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= https://www.amazon.com/Dreams-My-Father-Story-Inheritance/dp...
- jf22 7y agoI think You'll need a subscription to Audible to play it.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoThat is not correct. You can play audible books w/o a subscription.
