Podiobooks Boosts Payouts
By Rob Safuto on Dec 5, 2006 in Social Media |
Evo Terra over at Podiobooks.com announced recently that the donation split for authors has improved to 75% for the author. That’s up from 50% to the author previously.
Evo and his team have worked hard to create a site that allows audio book authors to distribute their works for free using podcast technology. And at the same time they have created a place where audio book fans can find and subscribe to high quality DRM-free books. Listeners have the option of leaving a PayPal donation for each book, hence the payout split.
They really are doing a great service for authors. This model allows for the authors to focus on writing and/or recording their books without having to worry about the podcast technology side for the equation.
Each book has a discussion page where listeners can leave comments and the author can respond. Podiobooks.com authors also have tools to help them measure subscribership to each of their books by chapter. Good stuff.
How do I know so much about the goings on over at Podiobooks.com? I’ve been on board with my own podiobook since the early days of the site.
