Audible's Affiliate Program
Welcome to the Audible.com Affiliate Program
Do you own a website? A blog? A podcast? You can start earning money by becoming an Audible affiliate marketing partner. Audible.com is the leading provider of premium digital audiobooks and audio entertainment and information. You'll direct customers to Audible.com through banner ads or text links on your site. We pay competitive commissions to publishers that drive quality traffic to Audible.
Competitive Compensation
At Audible.com, we offer a 60-day cookie. This means after a customer clicks through to Audible from your site, you will receive credit for any purchase made within the next 60 days.
Audible is committed to working with exceptional affiliate marketing partners, large and small, to ensure they are compensated favorably for their efforts. We offer users several distinct ways to purchase Audible audio products. Each option provides the customer different benefits while resulting in quality commissions for our affiliate partners.
Standard Commission Structure:
| Consumer Offers | Standard Commissions Start At |
|---|---|
| AudibleListener® Membership | $25.00 |
| AudibleListener® Membership Free Trial | $10.00 |
| A La Carte Sale | 10% of sale |
*This is a standard commission structure. We have the ability to offer higher commissions based on individual publisher performance.
AudibleListener Membership
AudibleListener members receive 30% off all additional audio purchases, a complimentary audio newspaper subscription to either The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal, email notification of exclusive sales and promotions, and access to free weekly audio downloads. Affiliate commissions start at $25.
AudibleListener Membership Free Trial
Offer visitors to your site a free 14-day trial to Audible. Trials are offered for our two monthly membership plans: AudibleListener Gold & AudibleListener Platinum. The AudibleListener Gold free trial includes one free download from Audible's catalog of 60,000 titles, while the AudibleListener Platinum trial includes two free downloads. Participants of either free trial receive all AudibleListener member benefits at no cost for 14 days, and may cancel at any time during the trial period. After the 14-day trial period ends, memberships will renew each month at our regular AL Gold or Platinum monthly rates. Affiliate commissions start at $10.
A La Carte Sale
An 'a la carte sale' refers to when a customer buys Audible audio at retail price (not with audio credits). Affiliate commissions start at 10% of total a la carte sale and are paid for new and returning a la carte customers.
