But first, here’s a quick fun fact about book lovers like you and I.

• When we finish a great book, we feel sad and find it hard to move on to a new one. It’s like missing old friends.

If you get this feeling then you’re the right person to be reading this story.
Now that we’re sure you’re a real book lover, let’s hear what this new side hustle is.

Mind you, Non book lovers can tag along as well, there’s room for everyone to make money with this side hustle.

So What Exactly is this New Book lover Side hustle?

Let’s begin with a simple question: Have you ever heard of Audible?
Well, if you have, that’s great. But for those who haven’t, Audible is Amazon’s audiobook platform.

Now, Amazon hardly needs an introduction.
We’re talking about the largest online marketplace in the world here.
How Audible works is that Authors narrate their books and upload them on Audible, allowing readers to listen to the book instead of reading it.
Now, I know what you’re thinking, does Rose really expect me to write and Narrate a book to make money?

Well I didn’t say you would be narrating books, did I ?

Now, can you name 10 books you absolutely love?
Well, what if I told you that you could actually make money by sharing the most valuable takeaways from each book you read?
Well Audible has a Creator Program with an incredible reward system.

When I first saw the amount they were willing to pay creators, it left me surprised.
Now, Don’t be fooled by the word "Creator."

Audible is willing to pay up to $15 per reader you send their way.

Remember it’s Amazon we’re talking about here, this is no scam.

How The Audible Creator Program Works?

What might surprise you is that Audible is ready to pay content creators up to $15 for bringing in readers who sign up for this trial. So, even if no purchases are made, you still get paid as a creator.

So How Does this Book side hustle work?

Step 1: Write out your book preferences

This step should be easy.
You already know the books you love and their genres.
So, jot down a list of 100 books in those genres, ideally ones you’ve already read. That’s all you need.

For the non book lovers, here’s how you can find ideas for books to create content about.

• Go over to Blinkist.com
• Search the categories to find books to create content about. (There are over 70,000 book summaries on Blinkist, so you can never run out of Ideas)

Step 2: Getting People To Sign Up For Audible

So yes while Audible is free, you’ll still need to find the people that’ll sign up to Audible, right?
Yes.
And no, I’m not talking about spamming your WhatsApp contacts with messages of your link and why they need to start reading.

I’m talking about the modern approach to grabbing attention: content creation.

Everyone is online these days.
YouTube, TikTok, Instagram you name it. Get a piece of that attention and you’ll definitely make this side hustle work.

So where do you see yourself creating content?

• YouTube, if you’re very charismatic on Camera
• TikTok and Instagram, if you love the platform already and can keep up with trendy songs
• Medium or LinkedIn, if you’ve discovered your inner writer .

So what should you write about to make money?

• Write about your key takeaways from each book
• Write a critique review of the book
• Make a listicle post for books you think people should read.
• Make a complete summary of the book
• Make a roundup post for all the books from your favorite author

Conclude every piece of content you make by including a call to action like this:

if you’re a book lover like me, I have a free gift for you. Make sure you sign up for your 30 Day free trial on Audible.

Here’s a quick example of how this plan would look for a TikTok/ Instagram book page:

• Title: My Top 10 Lessons from Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert kiyaosaki
• Call To Action: If you want more books like this, I have a free book lover gift for you, when you check out my profile.

If you stay consistent with this side hustle for at least 30 days, you should start getting the attention you deserve.

And before you know it, you’ll be making those $15s like you deserve.

Think about this:

• Get 10 people to sign up for free, make $150
• Get 100 people to sign up for free, make $1500

To give you an idea, a simple TikTok video can go ultra-viral with Millions of views (Easily).
If just 0.1% of those people decide to sign up for the no-risk free trial, you could make enough money to go full time with content creation.
But, for now, let’s begin with 10 signups in the next 30 days then we can work our way up from there.

To make this strategy effective, first, understand what makes TikToks, YouTube videos, and articles go viral.

Only then can I assure you that this approach will yield positive results for you.

Conclusion

Typically, Affiliate Marketing can be challenging because you have to persuade people to buy a solution you’re promoting and earn a commission when they make a purchase.
But for Audible, it’s a lot easier.

• There’s a 30 Day Free Trial
• No one needs to buy anything
• You get paid either way.

So if you’ve tried Affiliate Marketing, but made no money, this is your chance.
I love Affiliate Marketing cause I know it works.
Just recently, I shared my experience with a 30-day Affiliate Marketing challenge.
The challenge made me $25 in commissions from just 3 sales, with an additional 17 referrals who are on their way to becoming paying customers for the product I promote.
