#16Audiobook publishing.
I know, between Audible and Podcast there is no niche for a new audiobook company.
Here is why you're wrong. "Audio" is taking off like a rocket right now. Everyone has access to every audiobook ever made in their pocket, but distribution and cost stand in the way.
OverDrive is great but lacks availability. Popular books are on 2-3 month wait lists.
Audible is great but most people don't want an Audiobook subscription.
Most people want want ONE audiobook, right NOW, that they are going to LOVE.
My company is playing to that customer.
(I have completed steps 1-3)
Step 1. A database of the top ~1,000 audiobooks. Step 2. A dead simple site that allows user ranked and curated lists by genre. Step 3. Allow users to modify sources to add for each book. Like their own Amazon affiliate link, OverDrive, YouTube, Magnet or Direct Download link. Each entry can be voted and commented on. Step 4. Purchase rights to and produce audiobooks, using the platform to leverage the product line.
