About To Self-publish My Book, Should I Do An Audiobook? by PurpleHouse(m): 7:38am On Jan 06, 2017
Hi guys, I have a non-fiction book I've just finished writing, but due to the high price of printing and publishing it, I've decided to just turn it to an Audio book. I have an almost free access to a studio of a friend of mine, now, my problem is: is it advisable to do an Audio book before doing the paper publishing subsequently as the book gain popularity?

it's a Motivational book, about 200 pages, and I just want to get it out there to the audience as soon as possible. But like I said, due to shortage in cash right now, I feel I just just get an ISBN and do Audio book for the time being.

what do you think guys?
Am I good to go?

Please all the experience professionals in the house help out.

Cheers!

You didn't even say an e-book and publish on okadabooks, you're talkingof Audiobooks. You have to consider the kind of market you're targeting...Will they be willing and ready to purchase an audiobook?

By the way, do Nigerians really buy ebooks? Are they sellable and viable down here? Yes, I do buy ebooks online, but I feel we are very few in this part of this work who do this. Dunno, just curious! what do I know?
