Okay so for starters if you're brand new to audible.com and you don't know much about them
the way that they generally work is it's like a subscription service for audio books and they're
owned by amazon.com you just pay a monthly fee they give you a credit for a book that you can
redeem for any book in their entire library and then you can listen to it whenever you want to
now the other thing is they added a new catalog to their subscriptions so this means that you can
actually stream some content kind of like Netflix and this is a really good thing because this is
an addition to getting the book credits that you're already receiving so basically depending
on the membership that you choose you can get a book every single month and then you can also
stream some content that they have available for you and that's all a part of the membership that
you're choosing now keep in mind that if you do order any books from them like if you use
a credit those books are yours to keep forever so even if you cancel audible.com they're yours
in your library no matter what and they are yours to keep forever and then if you want to buy more
books from them but you don't have enough credits you can always buy more credits from audible.com
or as long as you're a member you'll always get 30% off all of the books in their catalog so for
instance if you're looking for any type of book like Harry Potter you're always going to get 30%
off that price just for being a member and that's also a good way to build up your library if you
don't have any credits available so honestly if you don't read more than one book per month then
audible probably isn't very worth it but you can always use them cancel and then you can always
sign back up whenever you're ready whenever you want more books because a lot of the time what I
do is I'll end up with too many book credits or I have too much reading to catch up on and so I'll
actually just cancel Audible for a few months that way I can catch back up on my reading and
then when I'm ready for more then I'll just resign back up and then just do it all over
again and I have found from cancelling audible a few times that every once in a while they'll
actually give you a reason to sign back up so for instance they might give give you 50% off
for the first 3 months or they might give you a free book for reigning up so just keep that in
mind it's not a strategy to cancel but it is a reason to resign up because sometimes they
might just get you because they have a really good deal and obviously they want you to resign
back up now a lot of people do complain about audible because it's not like Netflix in the
sense where you pay a monthly fee and then you get to stream anything that you want audible
just generally gives you that credit every month that you can redeem for a book and so your library
slow grows over time you can't just look up any book that you want on their library and watch it
for free audible basically has two plans which are now called audible plus and premium plus
and these aren't too complicated because plus is just eight bucks per month and then that'll give
you access to their audible plus catalog which lets you stream or download thousands of books
podcasts and audible Originals so it's now kind of like Netflix but if you go with Premium Plus
for 15 bucks a month then you'll get the same access to the plus c catalog and then on top
of that you're going to get one book credit per month for anything that you want and then you'll
also get the 30% off discount for all the audio books as well and that feature does not come if
you do the $8 a month plan so honestly if I were picking between the two plans I would always go
with the $15 per month plan because I feel like that's a better value but that's all perceived
in the value that you're getting from Audible and that's obviously up to you now if you feel
like one credit per month is not enough for the amount of reading you do you you can also do a
two book per month plan that's 23 bucks a month and then audible also has yearly plans where
they'll actually give you all the credits at once and those are the best value but you have to be
doing a lot of reading in order for that to be worth it so whenever you sign up with audible
just make sure that you look through their plans do the math and find out what's the best value
for you because honestly if it doesn't work out you can always switch plans in the future or you
can cancel like I've said before and if you are brand new to audible they'll actually give you
one free book just for signing up and then on top of that they'll actually give you 30 days
for free to try out the other features so if you want to get 30% off of their entire library or you
want to try out the plus catalog and see what you can stream kind of like the Netflix stuff
then that's included in the free trial as well so I'll leave an affiliate Link in the description
below you guys can click that and you can get your free book just for trying them out and
then keep in mind that if you do cancel with audible even with the free trial you also get
to keep that book forever so keep that in mind it's a free book you get to keep it even if you
cancel now if you do happen to look up a book and it just says play next to it then that's a really
easy way to know that it's free from the plus catalog and this makes it really easy so if you're
searching for different books out there most of them probably aren't going to be in that catalog
but if you do find them just know that you don't have to use a credit on them and audible also says
that they release new titles every single week to the plus catalog so that way you don't have
to wait forever to get new titles you just have have to check back every single week and see if
there's something that you might be interested in and another cool main feature that audible
offers is if you happen to be reading a book and you just don't like it then they actually allow
you to exchange it for a credit and that way you can get another book and this is really good for
customer service because honestly if you just don't like it or if you don't care for the book
you can exchange it for another title and then it's a really easy to do now as far as their
customer service goes I personally feel like they've always done a really good job and I've
never had a problem with credits EXP spiring or exchanging books or anything like that but I've
always just done things the honest way so as long as you do things that you're not abusing
their system with I'm sure they're always going to be willing to help you and make things right
now one of the only things that I don't like about audible is just the fact that some of the books
in their Library are really cheap in comparison to how much your credits are costing you so for
instance you might find a book on there that's $8 but your credit might have cost you $15 so
in this case I kind of wish they did something else like maybe used half a credit for some of
those cheaper books but this is really one of the only problems that I found with them now when this
does happen and you find a book that's cheaper than your credit then what I personally do is I
just buy that book all a cart with a 30% discount and then I save the credit for something that's of
more value just so I'm getting the best bang for my buck every single month with that subscription
so like I said earlier as long as you read more than one book per month then I personally feel
like audible is definitely something to consider now once again if you're brand new to audible
you can get that free book I'm going to leave the affiliate Link in the description below so
just for signing up you can get a free book with them but thank you for watching have a great day
