Audio Book promotion has been a bit of a grey spot at the end of a long path for most of us writers. What I mean by that is that most of the writers I encounter knew nothing about marketing when they published their Indie work, and had to take several expensive crash courses in it to promote their books. The results of it all is often mixed. Usually what works, doesn't work by the time you discover it, and most of the really successful Indies I know "got lucky" which lead to continued success because they had the talent and work ethic to capitalize on that luck.
After a couple years of not giving up, most of us have learned a enough to say that we will make it if we can just get more time to make it happen or a little bigger marketing budget. Then someone brings up audio books. It's the same conundrum only without the wealth of other authors experimenting and developing ways to promote your work. That's extra daunting. Here's some links to great info, but first let me introduce the best new idea in audio marketing I've encountered.
Let me introduce Audavoxx--it's brilliant, inexpensive, and I believe it will be very effective as soon as it's a little more mature in the audience (Give it 3 to 6 months).
