An ACX and Amazon KDP business, established in October 2019, operates in the book niche, focusing on self-help topics, including weight loss, spiritual relaxation, and general psychology. The business currently offers 57 titles in eBook and paperback formats, along with 16 audiobooks. Significant growth has been observed year-on-year, particularly from March 2022, with the addition of a new ACX account. The business leverages 99% passive earnings from audiobook sales, which require minimal active management. It maintains two ACX accounts: one with the previous management and a new one opened in February 2022.
The business relies on a network of freelancers for book writing and narration, catering to English, French, Spanish, and German markets. Earnings are primarily derived from ACX (70%), while Amazon KDP contributes 28%, and Findaway Voices accounts for 2%. Advertising costs on Amazon KDP are minimal, and the seller dedicates around two hours weekly for business management, including sales tracking and ad optimization. Some books were produced by freelance writers and others by professional writing firms.
Potential growth strategies for new ownership involve publishing additional books, translating existing titles into multiple languages, and expanding the audiobook catalog. Additionally, the business is prepared with one audiobook and two books in eBook and paperback formats, ready for publication on Amazon KDP and ACX. The business's low-maintenance structure and established freelance network offer attractive expansion opportunities for prospective buyers.
