Enjoy the video and here's the affiliate link for two free audiobooks. amzn.to/2O9mMUI And here's more Audible videos: ua-cam.com/video/GetFVRzw3_U/v-deo.html
I was too lazy to do the research myself and typed "is audible worth it" on UA-cam. Yours was the first video. It was 10 mins well spent on UA-cam. And sure, I'd use your link to get audible subscription as a way of saying thank you.
Thankyou so much for your video. I couldn’t understand why I was offered one credit when I rarely used Audible. I am going on a trip and only used my first books while on the road an hour once a week. You see that wasn’t really worth it, but, now will want to listen 4-5 hours a day for a couple weeks. You helped me understand how this works. The two books you’re recommending are excellent choices for young people trying to get started in life. I read them more than 20 years ago, still remember them fondly.
Great channel Jason. I have been an audible subscriber for about a year now, and I love it. I. by the way, I found your channel when I was looking for some information on dividends., I found that, and it was also very helpful. Clear, concise, and delivered in a watchable form..Thanks!
I'm still watching! I've had a yearly subscription to Audible for a long time! I love them. I don't have much time to actually read, so audiobooks and a good set of earbuds keeps me able to listen no matter what I'm doing. With the yearly membership, when I'm out of credits I am able to buy 3 more for $29.90 and it seems to be unlimited. They often have a BOGO free special so you can get 2 books for 1 credit. I've also never had an issue returning a book! I also like the stats. This is a great video! I have Audible and have had for years and still watched the whole video! Great content. Keep up the great work!
Yay, an up to date Audible explained! I just watched one from UK but the pounds vs dollars frustrated me. You answered all my questions, especially the return option, considering I'm hard of hearing certain accent's are difficult to understand at times. Usually I get my audiobook via the library (since my son is a librarian I don't even have to waste gas, he drops it off on his way home😂). I also use YT but searching for complete books is at times horrendous, I've learned to check comments before starting for any complaints/warnings (it's a bitch listening to a 12 hr book to find no frickin ending!). I recently read that Audible is having issues related to Closed Captions. I understand that why not just buy the book if you're going to read it? But I do find cc helpful for people with dyslexia, hard of hearing, learning a different language and of course lack of space to keep them. Thanks for your time and I did subscribe to your channel to see what else you have to offer.
I'm still watching. Your video is great. To the point, NO fluff. That takes a couple of takes and a bit of editing to make a video this clean and to the point. Great job, Jason, you're the video man!
@@adams8849 you must buy audio narration separately you can find it on the amazon web page on kindle e-shop check the colon for eBooks with Audible Narration
I’m still watch even though I have had a Audible account for the last 3 or 4 years but I wanted to know if I get to keep the books that I purchased with my credits, I’m glad you clarified that for me. Great video 👍🏾
Caryn Jones, after I cancelled, I am not allowed to access the book file I "own." The option to access the file is not available without an active subscription! That is what the website says!
Still watching. Thanks to your video, I learned about the awesome refund process. I had a couple of audio books just sitting in my account that I didn't like and I was able to return them and get credits back to use, yay! Last year, I was actually a gold member for a couple months but then I cancelled because I felt I wasn't listening to enough books to justify the monthly cost. This past April I decided to re-join under their Silver plan, which is 1 credit every two months, so $14 charged every two months, and this seems to suit me better.
Still watching. Do returns get you back a credit toward another book? I'm also into self-help and educational books. I'm glad you hit on that. Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a YES! And Robert Cialdini's Pre-Suasion.
Okay let me tell you about credits policy, now every credit has a life of 365 days from the date of issue. Credits do expire when you cancel the membership but you can contact audible anytime to either reinstate them or refund for those unused credits.
i agree that the expiration of credit is stupid. like, i paid for it, and they expire??? like paying for giftcards that expire and gift cards never expire
Both books recommended that the end of this video can be found for free all of the Internet including here on UA-cam. Other than that, great video thank you I’ll probably subscribe to audible.
Just joined 🤣 with my 2 credits i got - - Richest Man in Babylon (❤ing it) - Metro 2033 (Played the game, not started listening yet). Any1 got any recomendations? New to the audio book world. I like financial, crypto, video game, stuff. No Harry Potter stuff, i walked out the movie. Not for me.
Star Wars audiobooks are fantastic. Timothy Zahn is a wonderful writer and Marc Thompson is the best audiobook reader I've ever heard. Try the Thrawn series!
kindle lets you read unlimited amount of books, netflix lets you watch unlimited amount of movies, heck even a library lets you borrow more books than audible. Audible is such a rip off
You might want too add that you can suspend your subscription for 3 months without having to cancel and resubscribe so that is another option they offer. I LOVE Audible. I prefer listening to books rather than watching videos. I buy additional credits as well as my monthly subscription. They also offer members 2 for 1 deals as well as daily deals. Currently the Christmas deal is 40% of ANY book in your wishlist (or really any book) some have been reduced to amazing prices and I have bought them and as you pointed out kept my credits for any books costing more than a credit costs me. There are SO many books to choose from across a wide range of genres. You can also gift books and or subscriptions. This year I asked all my family NOT to buy me gifts but give me cash to spend on Audible credits.
Great video! I am a big time podcast listener and have been thinking about using audible because I don't have the attention span to sit down and read... lol
It’s really about multitasking cuz you can’t read and drive. I listen when I clean the house and drive to work. I don’t podcast listen and I need to try it
0mon0zz The UA-cam search algorithm rewards Longer videos IF they are watched.. of course UA-cam wants people to stay on UA-cam as long as possible. It also rewards videos that result in likes, comments, and subs. This is why you have every video by anyone successful asking you to “like,comment, and sub” 2-3 times a video Sure 1 comment won’t do much, but if a couple thousand people like and comment, it will move the video up in the search list.
I really want this app but I’m just concerned with the pricing since I already have to pay my phone off plus unlimited data while trying to save up for a car
idk if this is just me but reading it on paper is just better. it seems to connect better to my brain than listening. i can picture it better in my head and it sticks to my memory longer that audio. i can remember book i've read over 15 years ago clearly but not the same with audiobooks
I love audiobooks mainly because I have difficulty reading. I have a really short attention span and I cannot sit down and just read a book. But with audio books I can plug my iPod that I have solely for audiobooks in my car and listen to them on my way to work. I would say in the last year I have probably listen to more books that I have in the last 20 years.
Honest Finance . I joined audible following hearing your balanced review and pressed the button . May I ask a favour ? How I click on to the next review on Audible reviews ? Using my phone I can only get only one review .If I try to get a second for comparison it wont work .Internet searches have not helped .Thank you
i always thought audible is just like spotify just with books. Oh boy, how wrong i was.
God I wish. They should at least make it like that for Prime members... that'd be shweeeet
Same
Actually Spotify has a few audiobooks (but they’re only any good if you have premium because they are split into many parts)
Still here. Thanks for the info
I'm still watching

I have amazon prime and when you have a deal on amazon you can buy ebook + audible narration cheaper on amazon than on audible
I’ve heard about that. Thank you!!
How do we do that? I have kindle books, but how do I make it an audiobook?

Still watching! I'll see what this channel has to offer... Want to really ramp up my reading in 2020. Subscribed.
Welcome to the channel!!

That’s funny. I guess its relevant :)
Great Video! 👍🏾 I read the two books you suggested at the end of the video and they are both great! I love the content. Keep it up! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’m glad you read those books. I really like them :)
Thanks for this. Made it through to the "I'm still watching" part, so I subscribed :)
Still watching
Awesome! Used the link and got 2 free books instead of one!!!!
Sweet!!
I read just started audible and I read a lot. What I found that works for me is that I listen to a book, return it when I am done, and get a new book.
Okay let me tell you about credits policy, now every credit has a life of 365 days from the date of issue.
Credits do expire when you cancel the membership but you can contact audible anytime to either reinstate them or refund for those unused credits.
right to the point! You answered questions I didn't even know I had...I'll use your link happily.
Your link didn't give me the 2 free books, but it has 3 months for $6.95 and then $14.95 there after. Hopefully you get the credit though.
Thank you. They keep changing it :(
i agree that the expiration of credit is stupid. like, i paid for it, and they expire??? like paying for giftcards that expire and gift cards never expire

Still watching! Thanks for the video Jace!
You’re welcome
You can also put your subscription on hold for like 3-months at a time, instead of canceling. This is great if you start racking up credits.
Yes and you can go "inactive," which is what I probably will do.
Still watching. Thanks
You’re very welcome
I’m still watching and thanks super helpful. I’ll use your link if I decide to resubscribe.

Way to many ads man, I get this is your business but every couple minutes is excessive.
Sorry man. It’s a two-edged sword , but UA-cam also serves ads based on the viewer as well

Skip em
@@HonestFinance No problems with ads. I pay for Premium.
I like to combine listening with reading. Is there a way to listen and read books with audible?
Not that I know of

Do channels profit from people commenting? Does it make the video show up more to other users?
It doesn’t do much :)
