This new trend that has been flying under the radar of most people is now slowly emerging and is poised for an explosive takeoff! Are you in it?
Well obviously we are talking about Downloadable Audio Books. Yes, it has been quietly emerging as one of the fastest growing segments in the online world. Do not confuse these audiobooks with the low budget, recorded in your bedroom kind of books! These are the cream of the audiobook world from Publishers like Harper Collins, Simon & Schuster, BBC, Time Warner, Naxos, Brilliance, Blackstone......
Industry sources predict that downloadable audiobooks will OUTSELL printed books in the next few years. According to reports in Audio Publishers Association (APA) archives, at the end of 2005, the AudioBook download industry was at $2billion and rose over 150% compared to the prior year!
But aren't AudioBooks for Kids ?
Not Anymore! These days you can get audiobooks on any imaginable topic - Golf, Fiction, Language, Poetry, Drama, Health, History, SelfHelp, Diet, Business, Comedy, Internet Marketing apart from children's books... Just take a look around our site.
Gone are the days when you had to carry CDs or Audio Cassettes with you to listen to your books. The Digital Download age has made it possible to just download the audiobook files right into your favorite MP3 player - iPod, Zune etc. and carry them with you wherever you go.
You can listen to your books at the gym or while traveling or when you are stuck in a traffic jam or wherever you can think of. Use all the "dead time" to listen to your favorite author or to pickup a new language skill or listen to some self improvement course. Whatever be the topic, there is always something to suit your taste that you will be able to find.
Technology is Driving Demand.
MP3 players are in the same trend that existed with Cellular Phones a decade ago. Now, look at the number of cell phone users! You can bet that a similar trend will exist for digital audio players.
iPod sales have been exceeding expectations every quarter. Microsoft's Zune sales are expected to exceed the million mark in a mere few months! Well, my friend, this number will only keep going up..
The cost of MP3 players (portable, car etc etc) will keep getting more and more affordable to the general populace. All the doubting Thomases are slowly adopting this technology and are realizing that this is for real and their time can actually be put to good use with these gadgets.
People are interested in not just music....
As more and more people turn to this new digital audio culture, they will need quality content to play on their new toys. It is no longer Music that is classified as content for these portable MP3 players. Consumers have started looking for quality audiobooks on any subject that is available. Be it Golf, Fiction, Lamguage, Poetry, Drama, Health, History, SelfHelp, Business, Comedy, Internet Marketing ... you name it...
Moreover, in this instant gratification era, people want their products immediately at their convenience and not the store's! Hence, more power to Downloads!
What does this all mean for you?
No matter how popular they have been the last couple of years, Digital Downloadable AudioBooks just make up only 3% of all books sold. The market is still wide open and many more billions of dollars will have to change hands before saturation. Digital Audio Books is not a passing fad. It is here to stay and has all the potential to be a main revenue generator for the early participants, in the years to come.
With soaring MP3 sales and all the statistics about digitial audiobook sales, you will be leaving money on the table if you do not add audiobooks to your income streams portfolio.
