Have You "Heard" of Podiobooks.com?

I'd like to introduce you to a company I found online which is attempting an entirely radical concept to gain authors exposure, advertising and even income in the process.

If you're an author with a finished work of art, in addition to your standard operations of publication and marketing, consider partnering with Podiobooks.com.

Why Do Authors Use Podiobooks?

|Many authors do this to get exposure for their work, others do it in the hopes you'll buy a physical copy of their current or perhaps next work in development. Still others simply do it for the sheer joy of writing.|

How Does It Work?

Podiobooks has developed a process whereby you record your own book in serialized podcasts for a listener to download in segments. It is a free service both to the author and the listener. However, the listener is encouraged to donate to your work. If they do, you are given 75% of the donation, while Podiobooks keeps 25% for maintenance and business operations.

Studies which Podiobooks cites reveal that people really do love getting things for free, and that contrary to what you may believe, it can motivate them to purchase the very item they're getting for free, in this case a book, which some readers love to possess even after listening to or reading it. One study also revealed that sales of books actually increased after a "get it free" promotion. And this is the theory behind Podiobooks.

Giving Associated Content A Go

Today I decided I didn't have enough writing to get done on FWAHI (sarcasm), so I'd join Associated Content (AC) and see if I can make money over there.

Apparently it's going to take a while, since they provide so many "tutorials" to get started, it seems I'll never get done reading them all! The tutorials, interestingly, are articles written by other AC content providers (writers). So it's almost a scam! Every tutorial I read is a page view for the writer. And page views is how AC pays.

For every 1000 page views to any given story, the writer recieves $1.50. I know, I know. Sounds ludicrous. How's an honest gal supposed to get excited over a buck-fitty (ahem, fifty) only after 1000 people read her story. But apparently it's being done.

One guy has a mathematical system he applies to the probability of making thousands in several years. To make his lesson real short - get started today and write at least one article every day, and don't stop. It's intriguing, and also easy for him to advocate, judging from his photo by what looks like the side of his sweet pool, having already put in those first crucial years.

But, he's right. I'm never going to make money if I don't start writing today. I hope you'll join me on my journey, and jump in with me. At least there's something to be learned here - just not sure what yet.
