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 audiobooks and they're
owned by amazon.com and the way that it works is 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 just 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 percent 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 re-sign back up and then just do it all over again and i have found from canceling
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 you 50 off for the first three months or they might give you a free
book for re-signing up so just keep that in mind it's not a strategy to cancel but it is a reason
to re-sign 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 slowly grows over time you can't just look up any book that you want on
their library and watch it for free but this is changing a little bit with their new plans because
they've introduced a new plus catalog that i'll talk about here in a minute but generally they are
not like netflix you can't just look it up and stream it whenever you want you're just mainly
using their credits per month 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 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 thirty percent off discount for all the audio books as well and that feature
does not come if you do the eight dollar 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 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 if you do just want to browse the plus catalog you can access it right from audible's home page
and that way you can see all the books that are inside of there that are free with any membership
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 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 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 expiring 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 eight dollars 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 the 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
