Your Own Audio Book Store: Don't Be Afraid To Compete With The Big Boys
The great majority of people are only now getting used to reading audio books as compared with the earlier trend of buying paperbacks and hardcover editions of their favorite books, and this could also be because an audio book can keep you entertained is it mystery, love story or action story which will, in most probability ensure that you will always be on the edge of your seat. Many people who like this form of reading have made it a habit to source their audio books from big players such as Audible that ranks at the top of providers of audio books. However, competition in this field has hot up and it is such that it should also convince you into opening your own audio book store and provide some worthwhile competition to the big players.
Give More Competition To Audible
No doubt, at present Audible is the leader in the market for audio books with massive revenues; but, that should not detract you from providing competition and the best way would be to open your own audio book store and get you a number of regular subscribers that will pay back your investment and also provide you your daily bread, butter and jam.
The point is that when you open your own audio book store, you may start to get some loyal subscribers who won't mind forking out ten to fifteen dollars per month for a couple of audio books per month and who can make the difference between a working audio book store and one that will not take off.
Another option for you when you want to open online your own audio book store is to get someone to drop ship your orders directly to customers and thus do away with the expenses and hassles of stocking up books, and the membership fees that you will have to pay for such services would be a pittance as compared to what the investment in stocks would amount to.
Drop shipping is ideal for anyone that is beginning to open your own audio book store and who don't have money or space to keep an inventory. All you will need to do is take orders for various audio books and get full payment and then forward the order to the drop shipper along with what it will cost them which may be half of the retail price you got from the buyer. The drop shipper then packages and ships to the order to your customer thereby saving you costs other than what you spent on promoting your own audio book store. With luck, and with proper advertising, who knows you may even make a great success from your own audio book store.
