Marketing Tools and Resources to Expand Your Reach

Promoting audiobooks and reaching the right audience can be a daunting task. That's why Author’s Republic has developed powerful marketing tools to make it easier for indie authors to grow their listener base, increase visibility, and boost sales.

Whether you’re new to audiobook marketing or looking to improve your current strategy, the features available through Author’s Republic are designed to make your promotion efforts more effective.

      

Retailer and Library Promotional Opportunities

Get your audiobook in front of the right audience with promotional opportunities directly from our retail and library partners. These promotions focus on specific genres, discounts, or themes, and give your audiobook a chance to shine on retailer websites and apps. While nominating an audiobook is free, selection isn’t guaranteed—but being featured can dramatically boost visibility and sales.

Tip: Submit your audiobook for these promotional opportunities directly through your Author’s Republic account.

Through our direct partnership with Chirp, you can easily nominate your audiobook for limited-time Chirp Audiobook Deals, which are featured in daily emails and on their website. This is an excellent way to attract new listeners with a discounted price to grow your readership.
