Narrating audiobooks is only one part of the job. If you want to build a sustainable audiobook career, you also have to understand the business behind it.
In this live stream, we’re talking about the business side of audiobook narration: rates, invoicing, websites, client relationships, contracts, expenses, marketing, and the mindset shift from “I narrate books” to “I run an audiobook business.”
We’ll cover:
🎙️ How to think like a business owner, not just a performer
💰 Setting audiobook narration rates and understanding PFH
🧾 How and when to invoice clients
📊 Revenue vs. profit and knowing what you actually earn
💻 What an audiobook narrator website should include
🎧 How to organize samples so authors and publishers can hire you easily
📣 Marketing yourself without relying only on auditions
🤝 Turning one-time projects into repeat clients
📚 Building relationships with authors, publishers, and producers
📈 Tracking where your audiobook work and income actually come from
💸 Managing expenses, subscriptions, software, coaching, and outsourcing
📝 Contracts, scope, revisions, and setting professional boundaries
🏦 Preparing for slow months and inconsistent freelance income
🔄 Following up with past clients and asking about future books
🗂️ Creating repeatable systems for projects, files, invoices, and backups
🧠 Why confidence and pricing are not the same thing
We’ll also talk about one of the biggest mindset shifts in freelance narration:
The microphone is where you deliver the product, but the business happens everywhere else.
A talented narrator can still struggle if they don’t know how to price their work, track expenses, find clients, invoice professionally, market themselves, or build long-term relationships.
Whether you’re a new audiobook narrator, working voice actor, indie author, audiobook producer, or someone trying to turn narration into a sustainable career, this conversation will help you understand what happens beyond the booth.
Join me live, bring your questions, and let’s talk about what it really takes to build an audiobook narration business that can last.
