50 Cent Audiobook Free Download Reddit !!EXCLUSIVE!!
Natalie Martin
I just finished listening to the book on Audible. An unexpected gem of stoic literature which I thoroughly enjoyed. I was already familiar with Robert Greene's works, and many of them touch upon stoic principles at times but this one really felt like it was centered around it. Also, I now have a newfound respect for 50 Cent :)
All the self-publishing websites and books say to make the first book in your series free to draw in readers, but more recent advice I've read says that this no longer works. What are you guys' experience with this? Does it still draw in readers to your series? What about making the first book 99 cents?
Looking at my audiobook collection, my guess is that around 85 per cent of audiobooks are narrated by males. Those opting for female voices tend to be women who are reading their own books or female authors choosing to use a female narrator. I know there must be some but I can't recall any male authors using a female narrator?
I mean I understand audiobooks are much longer than songs, but they can break it up into chapters, they are both audio, there is really no difference to me. Is it because it just hasn't appeared or is there another reason for this?
I have gotten a handful of audiobooks with the kindle book versions since I got my kindle. Savings ya know. I've run into a situation a few times where there's text and audio that doesn't match. Honestly I've found that it actually really bugs me. I'm not even sure why, it just makes me annoyed. Logically I realize that these things happen but it always makes my eye twitch.
As I am writing this, the top post on the sub is someone sharing about their experience listening to World War Z on audiobook. They mention that they "read" the book, and there are a lot of upvoted comments telling OP that OP didn't "read" the book, they listened to it. Some of these commenters are more respectful than others, but all of them have this idiotic, elitist attitude about what it means to "read" a book. Why do you care? Someone is sharing the joy they experience while reading a book. Isn't that what this sub is all about? Get over yourselves.
Too many times have I seen people pick up audiobooks and say they put them on 1.5x or even 2x speed just to: A. Get through the book quickly B. Meet their goal of one book a week C. Claim some form of understanding
What value do you guys find in audiobooks? How do you listen to them? Has it dramatically changed your way of taking in information? How about the understanding vs. completion problem I mentioned? Is that part of my argument valid?
I know audiobooks take alot of work, to find a good voice actor, and read it at a good pace; however they cant POSSIBLY be as hard as making a Netflix series, the only thing i can think of is that, audible needs to be expensive becuase alot less people use it compared to netflix, but if they made the price super affordable ALOT more people would use it, so my question is why cant they just lower the price?
I have a book (the first of my series) listed on Amazon for $21.99 (it's a hardback). I just got the commission as I sold a hardcover last month and the commission was 96 cents. 96 CENTS. Is that normal for Amazon to give me basically nothing for my book? I'm really sad right now tbh.
EDIT2: when you see 0 you can enable Whispersync again and it stays at 0 % like other books in the "grid" home view.
If you use the list view, those books have a 0 % while other new books do not show any percentage so they're still "different"... No big deal, I'm just writing these things here for future memory ;-)
Everyone loves 11/22/63 but I listened to the Craig Wasson-narrated audiobook where Stephen King's running gag of noting how much cheaper everything was fifty years ago became a living nightmare because every single time Wasson would sound so over-emphatic and bewildered that it eventually just made the protagonist seem like he was suffering a head injury. I'd be 13 hours into the book and Wasson would go all "I filled my car with gas. !!iT wAs OnLy fOuR DoLlArS AnD ThIrTy CeNtS!!" like he still couldn't believe he was in the past. It gave the entire book such a sheen of naivete that it made the whole enterprise feel silly and I couldn't get into it.
What are some bad audiobook experiences you've had? I'll give an extra shout-out to every male narrator who performs all female characters in high pitched wavering voices, like all women are these delicate wilting flowers. Love to have to play the "is this author sexist or is the voice actor just bad?" game.
I've recently found that I enjoy audiobooks. As a recent convert, I now have a wealth of content to explore, so audibles free books have been great. Problem is, I'm tearing through content at a rate of knots. I'm also finding a lot of things I'm interested in are locked behind credits, of which i can only get 1 a month.
Is there any resources on where I should be looking to obtain more free audiobooks(by legal means). Like how can I get more out of Libby? Is there other websites that are like Libby/Audible i should be checking out.
For the record, I think that Apple's 30% commission is ridiculous, and this whole report is self-serving and sophistical. That said, something I found interesting is that on page 8, it states that Audible charges a 75% commission on audiobooks (or 60% if publishers are willing to host exclusively on Audible).
By implication, that would mean that if you use a $14.95 credit to buy an audiobook, the author/publisher only gets $3.73 - or $5.98 if they're willing to sell their audiobook exclusively on Audible. Obviously, Audible deserves to be rewarded for building their platform and attracting customers to it, but that seems excessively high.
As much as I like Audible as a customer, I wish they had some real competition. I suspect they would have to be a more reasonable in their commissions (and also a bit more responsive to their customers) if they didn't have a de facto monopoly on audiobook sales.
I'm just starting out as an audiobook narrator and wanted to get some opinions on characters from audiobook listeners - do you find it distracting if the narrator gives each character a voice or does it take away from the story if characters don't have a unique voice?
British Guiana was, between 1831 and 1966, a British colony in South America. It had everything one would expect in a nineteenth-century British colony: sugar plantations, enormous amounts of money going to business owners in England, slave rebellions being brutally crushed, all that stuff. It also had a postal service.
At the time, stamps were used not only for letters, but also for newspapers. Four-cent stamps were used on letters, while the cheaper one-cent stamps, known as the "1c magentas", were used on newspapers. Since people tend to save letters from their friends but rarely bother to save newspapers, the four-cent stamps were frequently kept, while the one-cent stamps were almost always thrown out.
In 1873, a twelve-year-old amateur stamp collector named Louis Vernon Vaughan was looking through his uncle's papers and happened to find an old newspaper, complete with one of the one-cent stamps, which his uncle had never gotten around to throwing away. He removed the stamp (cutting off the corners in the process) and took it to local stamp collector Neil Ross McKinnon. McKinnon didn't really want the rather damaged stamp, but he figured it was a good idea to encourage kids to get into stamp collecting, so he gave Louis six shillings for it and told him to go buy more stamps with the money.
John du Pont was an heir to the fortune of the du Pont family, which had earned enormous amounts of money since the mid-nineteenth century through the weapons and chemical industries. Besides his love of stamp collecting, du Pont was also a wrestling enthusiast, and allowed several world-class wrestling champions to live on houses on his property for years in order to coach up-and-coming wrestlers for the Olympics.
I have quite a large collection of Audiobooks now and would love an app like Calibre/Calibre Go which allowed me to browse my audiobook collection and pull up the summaries/descriptions of as I can do with Calibre / Calibre Go with my ebook collection. Does anyone know if this is possible? Cheers.
Hi! I've bought the latest kindle paperwhite and I'm totally in love with it, but there is one feature that I'm looking to use but I don't know-how. I want to listen to audiobooks using Bluetooth earbuds, I can connect them, and then I send the MP3 audiobook to the documents folder and nothing, neither in the audible one. I can't afford the subscription to kindle audible, anyone can show me how to pass audiobooks pls?
In the time I entered KU, I've spent about $3000 on various AMS ads and FB ads. It's a little difficult to say how much I earned back. KU reads were not visible until recently. All that said, for every dollar I spend, I probably got 50 cents back.
That said, I see respectable names and their ads, they have covers far better than mine. But they're sales ranks aren't anything to write home about. In my particular genre, things are very competitive. Average CPC for Amazon ads is around 75 cents. And it's getting more expensive all the time. More if you want to ensure top of page search.
And things don't convert well unless you're offering a 99 cent box set, and even then only 1 in 4 convert. I gave up trying to convert my book 1 in March. Even with sales rank in the Top 6000 or so, the KU reads didn't trickle in. Not enough, anyway.
I have tried different search terms in Google to try and track down a good audiobook for developing characters. Depending on what terms I use, I wind up with anything from "how to draw characters" to books that will work, but they aren't available in audio. So I'm turning to you all to see if anyone knows where I can find something like this? Or even a book on writing that has a decent section on character development.
I have recently finished the Stormlight Archive and want to listen to the audio books while driving my car. I noticed that there is audiobook and a graphic audio book. I never heard of graphic audio books and they are a lot more expansive than the regular audio book but I want to know if that is because they are a lot better and if there are any big differences that would justify the price?
