Leisure Audio books (LAB) is recently lauched affiliate program that allows you to promote a wide range of downloadable Audio books from an online store of over 6000 titles, including business, self help, fiction, health and more.

You can sign up for a Leisure Audio Books account for free by visiting http://5392.leisureaudiosales.com/

Once you have created an account, Leisure Audio books will provide you with a link which you can use to send people to your own audio bookstore for a 15% commission on all sales.

If you aren't familiar with this new affiliate program, which was launched in June 2007, read on to get all your questions about Leisure Audio books answered.

What type of products can I promote with Leisure Audio Books?
As the name suggests, the Leisure Audio Books affiliate program allows you to promote a huge range of downloadable audio books in MP3 or WMA format. Categories include arts & drama, biography, business, crimes & thrillers, fiction, foreign language study, health & recreation, history, humor, juvenile, radio shows, religion & spiritual, self help and TV & Film.

How much do I get paid?
As a free Silver member you can earn 15% commission on Audio book sales. Upgrade to a Gold or Platinmum Member and that commission increases to 20% and 25% respectively. You can also promote the business opportunity and receive recurring commission on any members who upgrade to Gold or Platinum levels. The commission percentage on membership upgrades are 15% for Silver members, 25% for Gold members and 50% for Platinum members.

How am I paid?
Leisure Audio Books will pay any commissions due to you by Paypal in the first week of every month. If Paypal is not suitable for you there is the alternative of being paid by check for an administration fee.

How much is it to join?
It is free to join as a Silver member earning 15% commission. If you wish to upgrade to a Gold or Platinum level it is $12.95 per month for Gold and $24.95 per month for Platinum. Discounts are available when you first join or if you pay annually

Do I need my own website?
Having your own website is always an advantage, as with any affiliate program, but it is still possible to join Leisure Audio Books if you don't have a website. You could promote it on your blog, or advertise your affiliate link in your email signature, use classified or pay per click advertising or even tell your family and friends about your store.

What help & training is available for affiliates?
The Leisure Audio books back office has an impressive range of tools to help affiliates. There is an extensive faq, a promotional page with lots of suggestions on how to promote Leisure Audio books incuding sample emails, banners, business card templates, classified ads, squeeze pages, splash pages and more. There is also a section on "Getting Started" explaining exactly what you need to do to promote Leisure Audio books. If you want to promote specific areas of the store e.g. business audios only or self help audios only you can easily generate links for these areas, as well as graphical and non graphical links to specific products. Overall I was very impressed with the Leisure Audio Books back office. There is a lot helpful material there for affiliates.
