Become an Audio Book Critic

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Audio Books are popular, it’s a lot easier to carry your MP3 player with you than to lug 5 heavy paper books. And it’s a lot easier driving keeping your eyes on the road and just listening than trying to read as you drive…. forget about the dangers! Please don’t read and drive!!!

There is a new site that allows you to critic audio books and link back to the pages where you found them : Audio Books Critics - Audio Books News . It’s neat and quite easy to use.

If you are in to audiobooks, you’ll sure discover new audio books. Reading what others have to say is always interesting! Why not write a short critic about the audio book you’re currently listeing to?

Monetizing Your Blog’s Book-List And Book Reviews For Your Favourite Charity (Fundraising With Blogs)

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

Many bloggers who like to read establish book lists. Regularly for year’s end, sometimes they also make a so called TBR list (to be read)at the beginning of the year.During the year book reviews are published by avid readers and book lovers.

Fundraising is difficult and many Charities have a hard time to get enough funds to keep operating. Here is a way how bloggers can help their charity raise funds:

If you have a charity you are supporting, or if you feel that a worthy cause should get some money, you should not overlook the potential of your blog. By adding an affiliate link for the purchase of the books you list, you will generate a commission, that you then can pass on to the Charity of your choice (or keep to travel somewhere, buy the whole family ice cream, or whatever else you wanted to do, but did not have the money to pay for).

How does it work? Sign up for the affiliate program! If you are no thinking of Amazon - they are books after all, then wait! There are programs that pay much better than Amanzon!

The AudioBookscorner.com affiliate program for downloadable audio books pays bloggers with an active blog 15% commission of the customer’s entire purchase he makes when he comes from your link. And the visitor gets a cookie that stays with him for 30 days. So if he does not buy immediately and returns later, or if he buys and then buys again a second or third time, even if this time he does not come from your link, the sale is still yours, the cookie identifies this customer as coming from your link initially!

This affiliate program does not work for bloggers only, webmasters are earning money also with audio books :

You could also build small specialized audio book stores with the program. This is especially effective, if you build a small website and make a book list for specific authors and their works. Add a few details about the author and his books, add your own opinion. Every audio book you mention needs to be linked with your affiliate link, so that if somebody clicks they are brought to the page where they can buy.

To promote this specialized site you do what you do all the time: You fire up your blog and review one book per day. In your post, you add one affiliate link directly and you also add a link to your small bookstore specialized site, which is preferably on an other domain (can be a free site or you get yourself an other domain name to do this). This also works if you have your blog and the specialized website on the same domain.
If you mention in your posts that the proceedings from the affiliate commissions go to xyz charity, you can be sure people will help you raise money!

If you are interested, but are a bit overhelmed by these explanations, shoot me an email to rolf # nospam # at # audiobookscorner # . # com - you’ll know how to recompose the address so it works (the nospam part nees to be removed too). I’ll be happy to help you build a few pages and links so that you can go and do it yourself once you see how this works and fits together.

Why let good traffic go to waste, if you could funnel some money to a good cause?

Looking forward to sending you your affiliate commissions!
