The ACX platform is a new idea. People say I have a good voice timbre and I naturally am a good actor. Thanks for the ideas. You are an amazing UA-cam find!
Thank you! Hey you inspired me! Got active on my channel and im figuring it out, as i go! 58 and i feel great! Lol but seriously its a bit intimidating taking the plunge in front of a camera, but you are right! Us genxers and boomers have something to contribute ❤
Now In my late 60’s all thru my working years (45 yrs) , I’ve learned so much via audiobooks while commuting. I think making an audiobook about how to prioritize your efforts and maximize profits in a retail business might’ve a good topic. Plus I’ve been told I should have been a radio voice.
The craziest thing is as an American of African descent my entire life I’ve been told that I speak too properly. Over the years I’ve wondered what I could do with that and voiceovers was a thing I thought about on many occasions. You mentioning audiobooks makes so much sense. I love the idea. Also, my first name is Bronté and it has been a conversation piece as long as I can remember. The people I’ve met who are literary always says to me, surely you’re going to write a book or poem. Again, you mentioned writing books. ❤❤❤ Thank you for triggering these forgotten thoughts and getting me to set some future goals.
Hi Diane I love your channel and your content! New subscriber here since two days, and I am Watching one video after another❤️ I’m also a new channel and a Gen X trying to prepare for my retirement so everything we can make the most of UA-cam is worth learning, thank you and very well done!
Very informative. I’m surprised about how many of these I’m already doing. I think I might make a UA-cam video about it! Thank you for the inspiration!
Enjoyed your video. It would be great if you included chapter markers or time stamps, so people can skip to the sections they like. Also might be nice to show some more of your examples. Like your vibe, keep up the work. 😊
I have been thinking about 2 options; selling used books, which I’ve plenty already, and adding affiliate links to my UA-cam channel. The later will have to wait as I am only just now in the first filming stages. Used books could happen right now, though. Thanks!
Good ideas! I tried the affiliate program but did not end up getting the sales I needed in the trial period so they took it away from me. They said I can reapply at any time but they suggest to wait until I have a bigger following. (I'm at 2400 subscribers right now.) So I will try again in a few months. ☺
I have written an ebook and published it on Amazon. This was over a decade ago and didn't sell too many copies. I had no idea how to promote it. I have thought of narrating books, that would be cool. I would be interested in starting an affiliate page in the future.
Try selling wide and marketing is a must. Faceless marketing post are big in the book social media hemisphere. Also, try Kobo. They have lots of infor on their UA-cam channel.
Hi Diane - I wonder if you are maybe talking to GenEx and GenJones/Late Boomers, not Early Boomers, like you say in your intro? Just a little thought that you didn’t ask for (And, sigh, it’s toootally not my business who you are talking to, and I apologize for putting my nose in it!) Cheers, and thank you for your work!!!
@ Thanks for popping in and responding, Diane. I love your calm camera presence, and hemmed and hawed over even saying anything - appreciate your good nature about my uninvited feedback.
Well I certainly do appreciate you watching them all! Yes, an author can record his/her own (acx platform has instructions etc) or you can hire someone from the acx platform to record it for you.
I am analyzing your UA-cam channel. I watch your videos regularly. You are making great videos but you are not getting that viewer according to your videos. As an SEO expert, I understand your videos are not SEO properly Many problems with channels like no video SEO, no title SEO, and no recharge tag, so your channel is not of growing.
@@DianeMoore. Please just keep being you. I’ve been contacted by these kind of people who promise you ‘great things’ if you just pay them some money. You know your market way better than they ever will! I’ve also seen other channels that joined a marketing company, and they became much more commercialized and unauthentic. They started using this ‘fear’ click bait strategy in their thumbnails that ended up not being true. I stopped watching them. You are unique and authentic in every video you do. I greatly appreciate that. 👍🏼
Ha! Thanks, I appreciate you, sunshine. Oh no worries - I just ask this of these folks to prove they don’t actually know anything about doing this. They just use vidIQ (generally poorly) to somehow give the impression they’re knowledgeable. No worries - I’m too old to be anything but me 🙂
The ACX platform is a new idea. People say I have a good voice timbre and I naturally am a good actor. Thanks for the ideas. You are an amazing UA-cam find!
Hey thanks! Yeah ACX overall is WAY less competitive. Sounds like you could be a good fit, Jackie!
I'm a boomer and have been told many times that I have a calming voice. I love to read! Recording audio books might be fun to try!! Thanks ✨
I think we could all benefit from hearing some calming voices! :)
Do it! 😉

Put that golden voice to work ! :)
Recording audiobooks is a great idea ! I have a Texas accent, so I'm a little hesitant to try. I will check it out anyway. Thank you !
That accent might be perfect for some kinds of books :)
Hi Diane! I love your videos! I mentioned you in my video because I consider you my one of my YT Mentors! GenXer here! Thank you for your content!
That's really kind of you - thanks! So glad that the info is helping you!

Glad those thoughts are swirling, Bronte!
Yes!! Please talk about your Amazon books. I’m 40k words into my own book, and would love to hear any tips you have in regards to Amazon. 👍
I'll be getting there, Dana! Thanks for watching
I love listening to your videos. It helps
Lee, for real - I LOVE hearing that these videos help!

Ha! Always happy to spread the inspiration 💥
I like your personality. I'm going to check out becoming a narrator for the ACX platform. I've been told I have a nice "radio" voice.
Well thank you. Sounds like it could be a good fit!
I’m loving your vids! You should b a narrator! You have a great voice, Diane ;)
Hey thanks, Sandra! Maybe I'll add it to the list.
Thank you for sharing
You're welcome
This is awesome! Hadn’t heard of some of these. I’m going to be checking them out. Thank you!!!! ❤
Hope it helps! 💥
Great overview of the opportunities available on Amazon.
Thanks, Vicki! And look at you at 711 subscribers! Hope this great channel keeps getting more and more
@DianeMoore The brain fog has finally lifted, so hopefully, I can jump back on the momentum that started 🤞🏾
Love your information!! Thank you!!
So happy to hear that, Mary Elizabeth - hope it's helpful for you

Look at you taking action! 💥
Narrating books sounds appealing. I've been told I have a good speaking voice and I do have some theatre background. I will give this a go!
Sounds great, Jen!
I love your videos! 🎉🎉
HI Diane, thanks for sharing about those great ideas. Just amazing and really helpful. 🙂 Your videos are really awesome.
That's really kind of you - thank you. Hope they're helpful for you!
I’d like to add the affiliate program to my work on YT. Been posting weekly videos, so it’s coming along soon I think. Thanks!!
So easy to add links, especially when you're already talking about associated products! Great on those weekly videos, jody
You are a intelligent person. Can I know your profession before UA-cam??
I’m still working - marketing/PR
Good ideas! I tried the affiliate program but did not end up getting the sales I needed in the trial period so they took it away from me. They said I can reapply at any time but they suggest to wait until I have a bigger following. (I'm at 2400 subscribers right now.) So I will try again in a few months. ☺
I didn't know there was a trial period! Glad you're able to try again
I have written an ebook and published it on Amazon. This was over a decade ago and didn't sell too many copies. I had no idea how to promote it. I have thought of narrating books, that would be cool. I would be interested in starting an affiliate page in the future.
Sounds like you've got some good options here!
Try selling wide and marketing is a must. Faceless marketing post are big in the book social media hemisphere. Also, try Kobo. They have lots of infor on their UA-cam channel.
Thanks

Cheers, and thank you for your work!!!
I'll think about Late boomers, but very few people in the world would know what Gen Jones is. Just trying to make it quick and understandable.
@ Thanks for popping in and responding, Diane.
I love your calm camera presence, and hemmed and hawed over even saying anything - appreciate your good nature about my uninvited feedback.
Thanks again!
Thanks for watching!
Yes please - I'd like you to make a post about being an author
I appreciate the feedback, Carol!
Can someone make their own audiobook from a book they wrote and have available on Amazon? Perhaps include this in another video - I watch them all!
Well I certainly do appreciate you watching them all! Yes, an author can record his/her own (acx platform has instructions etc) or you can hire someone from the acx platform to record it for you.
Love your channel 👍
I appreciate you saying that! Hope you're finding some helpful info
Very good i which ❤ work for amazon 😊
Great 👍
