How to Get Free ACX Promotional Codes

About this video

Dale Roberts explains how to get free ACX promotional codes after a policy change he says ACX made with no notice. Authors who publish an audiobook through ACX (Audiobook Creation Exchange) are entitled to 25 complimentary codes per title, which can be given to readers, giveaways, and reviewers. ACX used to email the codes automatically after a title went live, but now codes are only sent upon an email request from an address linked to an ACX account, once the title is available for sale. He says he discovered he was missing codes for 17 of his titles, and that ACX will only handle codes for up to five titles per email request, so authors owed codes for many titles should expect to send multiple emails to ACX support. On value, he corrects a belief he and other publishers held: after testing, they thought promo-code redemptions generated credits, but ACX told him promo codes do not bear royalties — their purpose is to boost ratings and reviews by giving copies to people who will write an honest review. He also notes, as his claim, that ACX already takes 60% of all sales.

Key takeaways

• Each ACX audiobook title is entitled to 25 complimentary promo codes for readers, giveaways, and reviewers
• ACX no longer sends codes automatically — you must email a request from the address linked to your ACX account after the title goes on sale
• ACX will only process codes for up to five titles per email request, so send multiple emails if you are owed codes for more titles
• Per ACX’s reply to the creator, promo codes do not earn royalties; their value is in generating ratings and honest reviews
• Check your back catalog: the creator found he had never received codes for 17 of his titles
