[Hidden-tech] getting audio books into online stores

[Marcia Yudkin]

Hi Tom,

For the audio versions of my five Marketing Minute anthologies, I have recently signed a contract with a company called (improbably) Big Happy Family Audio who are taking care of this for me.  No upfront cost except for ISBN numbers (which I already had) and graphical "CD covers."  So far they have been great to work with.  You can read about them at http://www.bighappyfamilyaudio.com/.

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to do the same for the physical audiobooks.  After getting about five rounds of incorrect information on this from Amazon.com, I finally found out that the key is joining the Amazon Advantage program as a publisher.  I plan to do this and have the physical CDs produced by Kunaki.com.

Good luck,
