You can also use sales data to get a better feeling of which keywords are the most popular within a niche or genre, and which ones are secondary keywords. How many copies are the top-selling books selling? Is it just 1-2 copies a day, or perhaps 50 a day? Knowing the sales figures will help you to better understand the popularity of different niches and keywords. Knowing the sales that books are making will make a night and day difference to your understanding of the market, and thus you’ll be able to make much smarter and more informed decisions for your own audiobook. Use it to understand the sales and demand side of the audiobook market. How to Best Use the Audible Book Sales Data? This is why the rankings shown on Amazon are a valid source of sales data for Audible. The overwhelming majority of all audiobook sales are made on Audible, not Amazon. Sales data for example is shared – Audible sales data is “fed” into Amazon’s rankings. Some aspects of each of these platforms are separate and some are shared. The longer answer is that Amazon owns Audible. You may be wondering – how does it make sense that we have to go to Amazon to get rankings for Audible audiobooks? Are these not 2 different platforms? Just search the exact title and subtitle of the audiobook on Amazon and it will show up. Every audiobook published through ACX will be published on Amazon too and 90+% of audiobooks that are sold on Audible will also be listed on Amazon.

This means that first you identify the book on Audible and then you find it on Amazon. Interestingly enough, Only Amazon shows the audiobook rankings.

To find Audible rankings, you have to go to Amazon. Not on Audible listing pages, not on search pages, not on categories… So where are they? If you’ll look around on Audible, you’ll notice that a best sellers rank is nowhere to be found. Using our Audible ACX Sales Calculator is really easy – just input the best sellers rank of an audiobook into the calculator and it will show you an estimate of how many sales it is making per day and per month.
