Tips for selling audiobooks
- Make sure you hold audio rights to the text and have a written agreement with your narrator.
- Offer an engaging sample chapter, not just the opening credits.
- Use options for format, such as MP3 chapters or a single M4B file.
- Master audio consistently — even volume, low noise, clean edits between chapters.
- Bundle a series as a set, and sell ebook and audiobook editions together through options.
Start an independent audiobook marketplace
Launch a marketplace where indie authors and narrators sell audiobooks directly, under your own brand and domain. MultiVendor's AI builder helps set genres and seller requirements such as rights confirmation and audio standards. Each seller connects their own payment account.

Questions about selling audiobooks
Do I need audio rights to sell an audiobook?
Yes. If you're the author and haven't sold audio rights, you can usually narrate or hire a narrator. If a publisher holds the rights, check your contract. This isn't legal advice.
Can I sell audiobooks also sold on other platforms?
Only if your distribution agreements are non-exclusive. Check your existing contracts.
How do I get paid?
Buyers pay you directly through your own Stripe or PayPal account. MultiVendor charges a subscription and never holds your money.
