This is a great deal IF the book sells well.įor example, if my share is $4 per book (average for 5-6 hour audiobooks) and the book sells 100 copies in a month, that one book would make me $400 per month.
Since I get all of my royalty share book projects through ACX, I get paid 50% of whatever the author makes as his or her royalty from audiobook sales on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.įor example, if the author gets $8 for every audiobook sold, I would get $4 (or 50% of their royalty). Royalty share plus (a combination of royalty share and PFH).įlat rate payments are pretty self-explanatory, so let's cover royalty share deals first. Royalty share (you split royalties 50/50 with the author or “rights holder”) Per-finished-hour (one flat rate payment for the entire book) On ACX there are 3 ways that you can get paid for work as a narrator:
They also won’t take a cut of your earnings like a lot of other “voice over jobs” sites do. While you do need to live in the US, UK, Canada, or Ireland to sign up for ACX, they don’t have a formal application process and it is 100% free to sign up and start auditioning for paid audiobook projects on the site. I think ACX is the best place to get started if you don’t have any experience yet (and no, I do not work for them, nor do I get paid to promote them.) ACX is owned by Amazon and Audible and helps match narrators with authors/book publishers by allowing anyone to submit auditions for open audiobook projects. I started working from home as a freelance audiobook narrator on ACX.com a couple of years ago.
