Ever thought your voice could earn you a side income? In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down the business of freelance audiobook narration. They walk through the real numbers: how narrators on ACX (Audible's production platform) can earn $200 to $400 per finished hour, what it takes to build a home studio for under $500, and how one narrator scaled from zero to $5,000 a month in about six months. They discuss finding royalty-share versus per-finished-hour deals, the importance of genre specialization, and the time commitment required. If you have a decent voice, a quiet space, and a willingness to edit audio, this could be a surprisingly accessible side hustle. Tune in to hear the nuts and bolts of breaking into the audiobook world as a part-time narrator.
