Audiobooks Provide Quality Relevant Content For Affiliate Programs
Affiliate programs have long been very popular for online businesses. But with all of the many programs out there, it can be difficult to narrow your focus and find the right program for your website.
One new affiliate program is gaining in numbers every day and that is selling audio book downloads through niche websites. Audiobook downloads are a great way to monetize your website with relevant content that will be a prefect match to the theme of nearly any website out there.
Recent trends show why audiobooks are such a hot commodity. In 2004, the audiobook industry which was then in the form of cassettes and CD?s was $800 million. By the end of 2005, it is estimated that audio books had become a $2 billion industry. Not many other industries can grow by 150% in one year!
To demonstrate what kind of money can be made in the audiobook industry, consider this: Audible.com, the leading audiobook download company, generated sales of $65 million in 2005 solely from audiobook downloads. Now consider that that is just a scratch in the industry as it is only 3.25% of the total $2 billion dollar audiobook industry.
That means that an astonishing share of 96.75% of the audiobook industry is up for grabs. After understanding those figures, don?t you think that it would be wise if you were one with the foresight to jump on this opportunity?
Now consider this, sales are not going to stop at $2 billion dollars a year. Time management is a skill that more people are trying to master. Because of this, people are looking for ways to make the most of their dead time (driving in car, commuting, jogging, cleaning the house, working out or running errands).
People are discovering that they can listen to audio books, teleseminars, lectures and podcasts while doing other tasks through out the day. Since the selection of audiobooks is not limited to literature, people are happy to listen to self help info, how-to manuals and business books. Audiobooks and spoken word recordings have become the new brain food for the busy on the go multi-taskers around the world.
There are more reasons why audiobook sales are going to continue to soar. Almost all new cars are capable of playing digital audio files. And since nearly 100 million Americans drive to work by themselves each day, and with the amount of time these commuters are stuck in traffic, one can easily see the need for the brain food of audiobooks in this context.
Time is of the essence here. Don?t you think that you want to be one of the first to offer audiobooks that can be downloaded to your websites visitors? You want to be an authority on selling audio book downloads before the trend really takes off.
Another great reason for wanting to sell audio book downloads on your website is that you do not have to do any work. It is a totally hands free system. After signing up as an affiliate, you will be mailed zipped files with your audiobooks ready to be loaded to your site. After loading the files to your website, you will not have to do a thing. All of the back end work and payments will be handled behind the scene so you will not have to dedicate any of your valuable time on such details.
These are high quality audiobooks from the world?s top publishers. The titles are from every genre imaginable. Once you load the files, you will be ready to start making sales from day one.
You will earn a high commission from your audiobook store. You will earn nearly 4 times what the other major online bookstore affiliate programs offer which means that you can generate a much higher stream of income compared to other book or audiobook affiliate programs.

Customer Review: Accurate Bible Stories for Children
Most childrens' Bibles either oversimplify the stories in the Bible, or change them so they are inaccurate. We were looking for something to start teaching our three year old the stories from the Bible and a friend lent us this book. Our son didn't want to stop reading it. We liked it so much for its accuracy yet understandability for younger children that we gave it as Christmas gifts this year to several friends and all our family with young children.
Customer Review: Lovely
We gave this book to a little girl in our church. Before we wrapped it, we started reading it and determined that adults love it too because we couldn't put it down. The colored pictures are fantastic and make you feel like you're right there with the characters. The stories are explained really well. We got our money's worth.
The Kite Runner
The Kite Runner
"Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of the monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable, beautifully told story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Raised in the same household and sharing the same wet nurse, Amir and Hassan nonetheless grow up in different worlds: Amir is the son of a prominent and wealthy man, while Hassan , the son of Amir's father's servant, is a Hazara, member of a shunned ethnic minority. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them. When the Soviets invade and Amir and his father flee the country for a new life in California, Amir thinks that he has escaped his past. And yet he cannot leave the memory of Hassan behind him. The Kite Runner is a novel about friendship, betrayal, and the price of loyalty. It is about the bonds between fathers and sons, and the power of their lies. Written against a history that has not been told in fiction before, The Kite Runner describes the rich culture and beauty of a land in the process of being destroyed. But with the devastation, Khaled Hosseini also gives us hope: through the novel's faith in the power of reading and storytelling, and in the possibilities he shows for redemption."
Customer Review: Powerful
Kite Runner is a powerful and very moving story. It seemed a little predictable in parts but it was a wonderful read.
Customer Review: Not an excercise enthusiast, but LOVED The Kite Runner
Shamefully, I am the first to admit that I cannot point to a blank map and name the countries in Europe, Africa or Asia. I walked by this novel several times, and finally gave in to the brouhaha and picked it up. What awaited me was one of the most lyrically written books I have ever encountered. I found myself rationing out pages because I didn't want it to end, but it did - and without disappointment. Hosseini, by trade, is a physician, but I think he proved with this tale of two best friends torn apart by one's jealousy, that he can quit his day job. A bittersweet dichotomy, you will find yourself running to finish the last page and sigh with a satisfaction that rivals no other.

The Happiest Baby on the Block - The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Baby Sleep Longer (DVD)
Do you learn better by watching rather than reading? Here is a chance to see how to transport your baby from screaming into serenity...in minutes. Watch as, step-by-step, Dr. Karp teaches new parent how to switch on their baby's powerful calming reflex. English and Spanish In "The Happiest Baby" Dr. Karp reveals a treasure sought by new parents for centuries... the "calming reflex" (the automatic "off-switch? for any baby?s crying). No wonder thousands of Los Angeles parents, from working moms to superstars like Madonna and Michelle Pfeiffer have turned to Dr. Karp to learn his secrets for making babies happy. Elisabeth Bing author and co-founder of Lamaze International "The Happiest Baby on the Block is fun, fascinating and convincing. I highly recommend it to all new parents." (Running time - 38 minutes.) The DVD also contains 3 bonus chapters: 1) Dr. Karp answers 25 questions from parents about calming babies and helping them sleep. 2) A Spanish dubbed audio track of the entire 38 minute teaching video. 3) Three tracks of calming white-noise sound that is an extraordinary mix of womb sounds and a newly designed pulsation that babies love (even though it sounds a little odd to the ears of an adult) Each track can be played individually, played in sequence or repeated for hours to gently guide your baby into a deep level of relaxation. This video is designed in NTSC not PAL or SECAM. It is meant for use in most countries in the Western Hemisphere as well as Japan, South Korea, Greenland, Guam, Samoa, and the Philippines.
Customer Review: Wonderful DVD
I heard a lot of positive things about this DVD/book from some parent message boards that I frequent and decided that I should check it out too. I was a teeny bit skeptical at first but after trying out the techniques on our newborn daughter I was amazed!!! She is almost 6 weeks old now but will sleep almost all the way through the night and can be calmed down almost immediately with the 5 S's. I recommend this to any and all parents of newborns/infants. I can't wait to graduate to the Toddler series =)
Customer Review: very effective
highly effective, practical advise given - we used it routinely on our first born and it worked like a charm. great for first time parents and now that we have a second one coming, we're reviewing it.
would also suggest the book with the same title. Thank you Dr. Karp!!

Customer Review: Life's a Beach ...George!!
This book and Curious George himself takes me back to a gentler time. A time when I was young and a time when my son was young. He and I LOVE to read all about George's silly mishaps daily.
This book was an automatic favorite because we live in Rhode Island and live at the beach in the summer. So he would always take this book and his george doll down in his bag. These stories are filled with laughter and love, two things a child can't get enough of and there is usually even a good manners lesson taught to George too that they don't soon forget.
So, any of the Curious George series is a winner with our family...and we don't even live near the "man with the yellow hat". lol*
Have fun and make each night a night you read to your child...it's so important. I even read to him in the womb each night. He talked early and certainly knew my voice almost immediately.
A winner any way you look at it. : ) Thank you George.

CONFLICT GLOBAL TERROR
CONFLICT GLOBAL TERROR
Conflict: Global Storm brings the Conflict series into the 21st century! Take controlof a highly trained, quick response counter terrorist squad in teh near-future. The 21st century will be a global battlefield as you respond to terrorism. Generations of hatred fuel the enemy, keeping them angry and fighting against superior weapons and tactics -- sometimes even giving them an advantage. Your goal is to shut down their threats to national security before they go too far! New character actions - Vault over objects and walls, climb through windows, rappel from helicopters and utilize zip-lines and ladders Issue entire team or individual soldier orders via an intuitive and rapid control system Online co-op play for up to 4 people, plus split-screen multiplayer
Customer Review: When is the next great Conflict game coming out?
All of my gripes will be under the paragraph so named. I just want to hit the high points of this game first:
1. Mission Diversity: This truly is a reflection of some special operations missions in a war on terrorism. The first two installments in the Conflict series were pretty much just a small A-Team running around the battlefield doing their "traditional" special operations missions. This installment has your team going from a jail-break in Colombia to South Korea and an executive security mission. The final mission is the assault on a nuclear missile base in the Indian Himalayas. This variety shows the fluid character and truly global reach of terrorism and the war against it.
2. Controls: The squad controls are much more simple and intuitive than the other Conflict games. I especially like the ability of a downed soldier being able to call another to heal him/her rather than take control of that soldier or order him/her there with a third soldier. This is great when you have to have a guy covering and need to get two downed soldiers back up. The delay orders are great for assaulting rooms or pieing corners in multiple directions at once. It also aids when you can stealth guys into position and then cut loose on an unsuspecting enemy when all your guys are in place with the click of a button. It is also good to be able to lean and shoot.
3. Graphics: These are the best graphics of the whole conflict series. The Desert Storm installments had bearable graphics but overall they looked cartoonish. Vietnam was getting there and I like the feel of its graphics more for some reason but the Global Terror ones are on par with Rainbow Six or SOCOM. Not as good but on par. Some of the jerkiness has been taken out of soldier movement.
4. AI: The AI is better but not vastly. Your squad's AI seems to have improved little but I note that soldiers will tend to act on their own better. For example, if they are shooting at a guy they just can't hit then they may move into better position to kill him or simply lob a grenade. The enemy AI will flee from grenades and this opens them up to fire when they get out from behind cover.
5. Gripes: They are few and usually to do with storyline rather than gameplay. The gameplay gripes I have are mainly the level of difficulty or additions I want to see in the next game. I also wish they would have brought some things over from Vietnam. I believe that Vietnam was the best game as far as feeling in the storyline, keeping the action quick and constant throughout the maps and I think that all in all it was the most difficult of all the Conflict series.
However, there are singular missions or portions of missions in Global Terror that are rathcheted way up compared to anything in the Vietnam ones. The first few minutes of "Pressure Drop" will test your ability to move your squad around and survive as well as deal out damage and repel attacks. Otherwise you will spend your time healing downed people and getting shot until no one is left to heal anyone. Keep your head on a swivel during this mission. After that it just lets off from there until the very end of the map. This is similar to a lot of missions, which are more realistic to combat; 99% sheer boredom punctuated by 1% sheer terror. I do not mean to say the game is boring but it does seems to follow the big-battle then pick off stragglers then regroup and crossload ammo, medic kits, grenades etc.; then move to next big battle and start all over. Why not have one mission where the whole army comes down on top of you and you have to set up correctly to fight it off like in Desert Storm, Back to Baghdad or Vietnam? To be fair no counter-terrorism unit would want to be caught in that kind of situation but for gamers it is fun. I guess this is keeping with the game's storyline realism.
Also, I miss the vehicles especially the choppers. Nothing beats loading up "Ride of the Valkyries" to your custom soundtrack on the chopper mission in Conflict: Vietnam. Could they not have put a mission with a helicopter in it like in Conflict: Vietnam that was more like the chopper mission in Delta Force: Black Hawk Down? The times you do use vehicles in this game are only setting your whole squad up to get wiped out by hidden tanks, mortar fire, or RPG wielding enemies whom you may miss while sweeping through an area.
I wish they had an option to view the weapons' sights realistically in zoom like on Conflict: Vietnam especially with all the new, authentic weapons in modern armies' inventories. Some things are more "gee whiz" than actually useful; mainly laser sights on weapons. I also wish that they would have the weapons behave more realistically. Case in point: M-16's have longer range and are more accurate at distance than AK-47's but AK's are more powerful. Why then does it take the same amount of body shots to down someone or that they have the same zoom distance? Just a small wish I have. I also wish they would incoporate some sort of throw adjustment on grenades like in most other games of this type.
I also wish that the characters' dialogue in this game was as "colorful" as that in Conflict: Vietnam. The dialogue in that game was the most realistic since the majority of Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen/Marines/Coasties pepper all their speech with profanity. I think I counted only one four-letter word in this whole game. This was probably done to allow more people to buy this game but come on, it's M+ already and I think that bad language is less problematic than graphic violence. Anyway, any game involving combat soldiers should have profanity, if they have any dialogue at all, to be realistic.
When will game makers realize that there are no women in American Army Special Forces units or even CIA direct action teams? I admit putting women in is to be PC and maybe to draw the growing number of female gamers but it takes away from the realism in the storyline. Also, to go with storyline realism, why not use more realistic terror groups? The South Korean missions have you up against terrorists from South Korea. It is more realistic to have North Korean terrorists operating in the south. The drug cartels in the Colombia missions were the most believeable. Also the main enemy in the game has a private army of former German special forces operatives. Most private armies/security companies today are made up of former Spetsznaz(USSR/Russian special forces). Just think about real world intel/organizations for the next game Take2.
If you like the other Conflict series games then you will love this one. I realize that most of my review is devoted to gripes but this is just in hopes that some developer will try to make a great game perfect.
Customer Review: Squad-Based Heaven
is a sqaud-based shooter/wargame. If you played any of the
Desert Storm games before you kind of know what to expect
already. The big difference with this installment of the
series is that the game has made some dramatic improvements
which were needed in the other "Desert Storm" games.
Once again The U.S. Delta Force team is sent on
dangerouse missions to fight global terrorism. The team
consisting of four kick-butt soldiers: Bradley (infantry
soldier), Jones (stealthy) Conner (heavy weapons) and Foley
(the sniper). You'll be sent to a variety of countries and
diffrent terrain types. In the first level, you start in
a P.O.W. camp trying to make your escape, other levels you
fight through jungles, urban (city), deserts, snow fortress,
nuclear reactors and chemicle plants. You can order your
squad to follow, hold position, go to point, attack target,
stealth to point, fire at will, hold fire, heal teammates
and themselves if wounded and to gaurd an assigned target
excellent, and your soldiers are now able to jump over
small walls, your firing accuracy is more dependant on
your skills instead of auto-aim, your team's A.I. and
enemies are intelligent, now they try to out-flank you,
flush you out with a grenade if you hide too much, charge
in panic or even retreat. So it basically comes down to
your shooting skills and how well you manage your teams
and issue orders in the midst of heavy fire fights. The
levels are fun to play as you try to figure out what's
the best approach to the different areas of the map, in
a way it has a bit of a free-form gameplay to it, which
adds to the replay value. You can sneak up behind
unsuspecting enemies and cut their throats with a knife!
Out of ammo? No problem; just smack them with the butt
of your gun! There's a total of 14 levels and I enjoyed
every single one of them! If you enjoy squad based shooter,
buy this game. I also recommend the, "Rainbow Six",
"Ghost Recon" and "Brute Force". Don't want squad-based
shooter? Want pure action: get the game, "Mercenaries"
Pro:
+excellent controls
+excellent action
+excellent A.I.
+excellent game tutorial
+excellent level designs
+excellent sound effects
+excellent weaponry
+excellent characters
+play co-op with a friend
+play on XBOX LIVE
+adjustable difficulty
+blood splatters
+rag-doll physics
+stealth elements

+smack enemies with your gun
+a bit of freeform gameplay
Cons:
-weak unlockable stuff
-needs to be more freeform.

My sons love this movie and ask for it to be played over and over. They both love trains and are delighted for a story that integrates Pooh & friends and trains. I only wish it would come out on dvd (we're on our second videotape since the first one wore out with so many viewings).
Customer Review: Son's favorite
This was one of my son's favorites when he was little, now my friend's son loves it. Great stories, especially for boys(there are trains and pirate ships). My only complaint is that they aren't available on dvd.

Customer Review: When is the next great Conflict game coming out?
All of my gripes will be under the paragraph so named. I just want to hit the high points of this game first:
1. Mission Diversity: This truly is a reflection of some special operations missions in a war on terrorism. The first two installments in the Conflict series were pretty much just a small A-Team running around the battlefield doing their "traditional" special operations missions. This installment has your team going from a jail-break in Colombia to South Korea and an executive security mission. The final mission is the assault on a nuclear missile base in the Indian Himalayas. This variety shows the fluid character and truly global reach of terrorism and the war against it.
2. Controls: The squad controls are much more simple and intuitive than the other Conflict games. I especially like the ability of a downed soldier being able to call another to heal him/her rather than take control of that soldier or order him/her there with a third soldier. This is great when you have to have a guy covering and need to get two downed soldiers back up. The delay orders are great for assaulting rooms or pieing corners in multiple directions at once. It also aids when you can stealth guys into position and then cut loose on an unsuspecting enemy when all your guys are in place with the click of a button. It is also good to be able to lean and shoot.
3. Graphics: These are the best graphics of the whole conflict series. The Desert Storm installments had bearable graphics but overall they looked cartoonish. Vietnam was getting there and I like the feel of its graphics more for some reason but the Global Terror ones are on par with Rainbow Six or SOCOM. Not as good but on par. Some of the jerkiness has been taken out of soldier movement.
4. AI: The AI is better but not vastly. Your squad's AI seems to have improved little but I note that soldiers will tend to act on their own better. For example, if they are shooting at a guy they just can't hit then they may move into better position to kill him or simply lob a grenade. The enemy AI will flee from grenades and this opens them up to fire when they get out from behind cover.
5. Gripes: They are few and usually to do with storyline rather than gameplay. The gameplay gripes I have are mainly the level of difficulty or additions I want to see in the next game. I also wish they would have brought some things over from Vietnam. I believe that Vietnam was the best game as far as feeling in the storyline, keeping the action quick and constant throughout the maps and I think that all in all it was the most difficult of all the Conflict series.
However, there are singular missions or portions of missions in Global Terror that are rathcheted way up compared to anything in the Vietnam ones. The first few minutes of "Pressure Drop" will test your ability to move your squad around and survive as well as deal out damage and repel attacks. Otherwise you will spend your time healing downed people and getting shot until no one is left to heal anyone. Keep your head on a swivel during this mission. After that it just lets off from there until the very end of the map. This is similar to a lot of missions, which are more realistic to combat; 99% sheer boredom punctuated by 1% sheer terror. I do not mean to say the game is boring but it does seems to follow the big-battle then pick off stragglers then regroup and crossload ammo, medic kits, grenades etc.; then move to next big battle and start all over. Why not have one mission where the whole army comes down on top of you and you have to set up correctly to fight it off like in Desert Storm, Back to Baghdad or Vietnam? To be fair no counter-terrorism unit would want to be caught in that kind of situation but for gamers it is fun. I guess this is keeping with the game's storyline realism.
Also, I miss the vehicles especially the choppers. Nothing beats loading up "Ride of the Valkyries" to your custom soundtrack on the chopper mission in Conflict: Vietnam. Could they not have put a mission with a helicopter in it like in Conflict: Vietnam that was more like the chopper mission in Delta Force: Black Hawk Down? The times you do use vehicles in this game are only setting your whole squad up to get wiped out by hidden tanks, mortar fire, or RPG wielding enemies whom you may miss while sweeping through an area.
I wish they had an option to view the weapons' sights realistically in zoom like on Conflict: Vietnam especially with all the new, authentic weapons in modern armies' inventories. Some things are more "gee whiz" than actually useful; mainly laser sights on weapons. I also wish that they would have the weapons behave more realistically. Case in point: M-16's have longer range and are more accurate at distance than AK-47's but AK's are more powerful. Why then does it take the same amount of body shots to down someone or that they have the same zoom distance? Just a small wish I have. I also wish they would incoporate some sort of throw adjustment on grenades like in most other games of this type.
I also wish that the characters' dialogue in this game was as "colorful" as that in Conflict: Vietnam. The dialogue in that game was the most realistic since the majority of Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen/Marines/Coasties pepper all their speech with profanity. I think I counted only one four-letter word in this whole game. This was probably done to allow more people to buy this game but come on, it's M+ already and I think that bad language is less problematic than graphic violence. Anyway, any game involving combat soldiers should have profanity, if they have any dialogue at all, to be realistic.
When will game makers realize that there are no women in American Army Special Forces units or even CIA direct action teams? I admit putting women in is to be PC and maybe to draw the growing number of female gamers but it takes away from the realism in the storyline. Also, to go with storyline realism, why not use more realistic terror groups? The South Korean missions have you up against terrorists from South Korea. It is more realistic to have North Korean terrorists operating in the south. The drug cartels in the Colombia missions were the most believeable. Also the main enemy in the game has a private army of former German special forces operatives. Most private armies/security companies today are made up of former Spetsznaz(USSR/Russian special forces). Just think about real world intel/organizations for the next game Take2.
If you like the other Conflict series games then you will love this one. I realize that most of my review is devoted to gripes but this is just in hopes that some developer will try to make a great game perfect.
Customer Review: Squad-Based Heaven
is a sqaud-based shooter/wargame. If you played any of the
Desert Storm games before you kind of know what to expect
already. The big difference with this installment of the
series is that the game has made some dramatic improvements
which were needed in the other "Desert Storm" games.
Once again The U.S. Delta Force team is sent on
dangerouse missions to fight global terrorism. The team
consisting of four kick-butt soldiers: Bradley (infantry
soldier), Jones (stealthy) Conner (heavy weapons) and Foley
(the sniper). You'll be sent to a variety of countries and
diffrent terrain types. In the first level, you start in
a P.O.W. camp trying to make your escape, other levels you
fight through jungles, urban (city), deserts, snow fortress,
nuclear reactors and chemicle plants. You can order your
squad to follow, hold position, go to point, attack target,
stealth to point, fire at will, hold fire, heal teammates
and themselves if wounded and to gaurd an assigned target
excellent, and your soldiers are now able to jump over
small walls, your firing accuracy is more dependant on
your skills instead of auto-aim, your team's A.I. and
enemies are intelligent, now they try to out-flank you,
flush you out with a grenade if you hide too much, charge
in panic or even retreat. So it basically comes down to
your shooting skills and how well you manage your teams
and issue orders in the midst of heavy fire fights. The
levels are fun to play as you try to figure out what's
the best approach to the different areas of the map, in
a way it has a bit of a free-form gameplay to it, which
adds to the replay value. You can sneak up behind
unsuspecting enemies and cut their throats with a knife!
Out of ammo? No problem; just smack them with the butt
of your gun! There's a total of 14 levels and I enjoyed
every single one of them! If you enjoy squad based shooter,
buy this game. I also recommend the, "Rainbow Six",
"Ghost Recon" and "Brute Force". Don't want squad-based
shooter? Want pure action: get the game, "Mercenaries"
Pro:
+excellent controls
+excellent action
+excellent A.I.
+excellent game tutorial

Cons:
-weak unlockable stuff
-needs to be more freeform.

Customer Review: My 4 year old & 2 year old boys love Cowboy Pooh
My sons love this movie and ask for it to be played over and over. They both love trains and are delighted for a story that integrates Pooh & friends and trains. I only wish it would come out on dvd (we're on our second videotape since the first one wore out with so many viewings).
Customer Review: Son's favorite
This was one of my son's favorites when he was little, now my friend's son loves it. Great stories, especially for boys(there are trains and pirate ships). My only complaint is that they aren't available on dvd.
