Listing Details

This listing is for an audiobooks and Amazon KDP business created in March 2018 in the books and information niches. Included with the Amazon KDP account are 23 ebooks, paperbacks, and audiobooks across two pen names. The business requires minimal effort to maintain.

Revenue is generated via ACX (52%), IngramSpark (33%), Amazon KDP (12%), and Draft2Digital (3%). Physical copies of the books are printed by Amazon’s Just in Time printing service or IngramSpark. Using IngramSpark, the Seller has physical copies distributed to other sources, including libraries and brick-and-mortar book stores.

The Seller spends around an hour per week on the business checking sales dashboards. No new books have been added to the business in about two years. Previously, the Seller also spent time creating content outlines, which were then passed to a ghostwriting service to assist with book creation. The Seller also created design briefs, which were passed to a designer. All of the books were narrated by the same individual, who also provided quality assurance assistance. Contact details for all contractors can be provided to a Buyer.

The Seller has not invested in advertising spend for around a year and a half but highlights this as a potential opportunity for growth for a Buyer. Additional opportunities noted by the Seller included creating additional books, translating existing books, and refreshing/recreating older books.
