The 5 Tiers of Audiobooks: Which One Should You Publish?

For most of publishing history, creating an audiobook meant writing a check for thousands of dollars and hoping you'd earn it back in sales. Because of the expense, many authors decided it wasn't worth the risk. So, they skipped audio entirely.

Here's the problem. That decision now backfires in a way nobody saw coming.

The number one sign that a book was written by AI isn't bad writing. It's the missing audiobook.

In this week’s episode, audiobook expert Derek Doepker will map out exactly how to avoid that trap. We discuss the five tiers of audiobooks.

You’ll discover

• Why skipping the priciest tier might be the smartest move for some authors
• Which budget-friendly option still makes your book look unmistakably human-written
• The tier almost no author is using, even though it’s cheaper and sounds like a full production

Listen to the full episode to get the complete map of all five audiobook tiers, so you can pick the right one for your book and your sales goals.
