This is part 1 of 3.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Every month I get a large envelope in the mail with a happy check made out to me. This month it was over $70. The money was for the sales I made selling my audiobooks (Hear a sample, <a title=\"Audible sample of Alice's Sexual Discovery in a Wonderful Land\" href=\"http:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/ref=sr_1_2?asin=B009K8SCFI&amp;qid=1359587931&amp;sr=1-2\" target=\"_blank\">here!<\/a>\u00a0Rated R, not safe for work.). I didn&#8217;t even do any marketing! Are you interested in some extra cash?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My writing mentor Ezra Barany wrote an article in <a title=\"Making Audio Books From Your Novels\" href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/2012\/06\/14\/making-audio-books-from-your-novels\/\" target=\"_blank\">June 2012<\/a> with abundant help on how to start getting your books turned into audiobooks. Though he never actually published an audiobook himself, he was instrumental with helping me get mine done. Now that I actually went through the process, I&#8217;ll share with you some tricks I learned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can read Ezra&#8217;s great post on what ACX is <a title=\"Making Audio Books From Your Novels\" href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/2012\/06\/14\/making-audio-books-from-your-novels\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Great! Now that you&#8217;ve discovered the wonders of ACX, here&#8217;s my experience.<br \/>\n<\/span><!--more--><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First I went to the <a title=\"Welcome to the marketplace where professionals create and sell audiobooks.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.acx.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">ACX website<\/a>\u00a0and browsed through the possible narrators who read erotica and were willing to split the royalties 50\/50. I found this amazing reader, Kitty Bang, and sent an email to the recording technician representing her. The technician, Chris of Brick Shop Audiobooks, replied saying I would need to pay $85 per hour, so my cost would come to about $450 to cover the technician recording fees. The fee was reasonable, but I didn&#8217;t have the funds to cover it. Chris recommended I try asking ACX for a stipend to cover the costs of recording.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I wrote ACX requesting the stipend. Ezra helped me with drafting the email request. Here&#8217;s essentially what I put in the letter:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Subject Header:<\/strong> <em>Inclusion in Stipend Program<br \/>\n<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">1. The <strong>purpose of my letter<\/strong> &#8211; &#8220;Dear ACX, I am requesting my novella, <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/AlicesSexualDiscovery\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Alice&#8217;s Sexual Discovery in a Wonderful Land<\/em><\/a>, be included in your stipend program.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">2. The <strong>appeal of the book<\/strong> &#8211; If I&#8217;m asking them to invest in my book, they should know why readers would want to buy the book. Not what the book is about, but what experience the readers will have. I used the <a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/2012\/01\/25\/how-to-write-the-perfect-pitch-to-sell-your-novel-in-person\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>High Concept pitch<\/strong><\/a> I learned from my writing coach Beth Barany. &#8220;My book is an erotic version of <em>Alice in Wonderland<\/em>. (All consenting adult humans).&#8221; Since I knew that Amazon has an aversion to non-consentual sex stories, underage sex, and beastiality, I felt I needed to add that disclaimer.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">2. My <strong>credibility<\/strong> &#8211; There were three parts to showing my credibility. First, I wanted to show that my book sells well. \u00a0&#8220;Alice&#8217;s Sexual Discovery in a Wonderful Land came out at the end of April [2 months before I wrote this letter] and has sold 426 copies so far.&#8221; Next, I wanted to show that the readers liked the book. &#8220;Currently, all the reviews on Amazon are four and five-star reviews.&#8221; Last, I wanted to show that the good reviews are not just from friends and family. &#8220;Just a few days ago, I saw another five-star &#8216;Amazon Verified Purchase&#8217; review was posted, this one by a Pamela Chismar (I have no idea who she is).&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">3. The <strong>marketing<\/strong> I&#8217;ll do &#8211; By showing how much you&#8217;ll market your book, Amazon will like that you&#8217;re in essence volunteering to market for them. &#8220;So far, I have 158 friends on Facebook and 497 followers on Twitter. I have posted interviews, articles, and news about my novella on five different blog sites, so far. My book mentor created a book trailer for the novella that has had 794 views since its release one month ago.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">4. <strong>Summarize<\/strong> &#8211; I think Amazon prefers to have happy customers more than a lot of customers, so I focused on how I could help them please their customers. &#8220;I strive to give good quality reading to my audiences. Now, with your help, I&#8217;d like to give quality listening to my audiences.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">5.<strong> Sign off<\/strong> &#8211; &#8220;Thank you for your time, Liz Adams.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">6. More <strong>credibility<\/strong> &#8211; Under my name I quoted several of my five-star reviews.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0&#8221; &#8216;5 stars! A wild erotic ride.&#8217; ~Randi Alexander<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0&#8216;5 stars!
