Step 1
Have MP3s that meet our specs? Upload audio, metadata, and cover art to a free account. Not ready yet? Produce with Chiify first—pay upfront or use royalty share.
Knowing your audience
Avid readers, podcast listeners, and people who listen while commuting or working. A clear listener strategy improves pricing and promo choices later.
Step 2
Set your own MSRP instead of a blanket price. Some retailers override by length—we can’t guarantee MSRP on every channel—but you stay in control of the strategy.
Common pricing guide (by length)
Rule of thumb: about $1.50–$3.00 per finished hour.
Step 3
Pick where you sell—Audible (if non-exclusive), Apple, Spotify, Google, libraries, and dozens more. Opt out of channel groups before review.

Step 4
Our team reviews audio requirements—consistent bitrate, MP3, chapter announcements, loudness, and more—before handoff.
A note on the approval process
Each retailer runs its own process. Live times often range from about 5 to 60 days per partner. We may not get a “live” ping—check storefronts.
Step 5
Sell across major retail, streaming, and library channels. You receive consolidated royalty payments with reporting. Titles you produced yourself or paid Chiify to produce keep up to 80% of net; royalty-share titles follow the 60/40 deal.
Audiobook listeners live across retail apps, subscription catalogs, and libraries. Non-exclusive wide distribution captures that demand without locking a title to one storefront for years.
