Well maybe it is an easier sell? Its a book for free maybe is easier to some folks than it is like old time radio plays. Not everyone has heard the old time radio plays. Not sure.

I will say that generally speaking, the podiobook guys I know are better at self promotion than most audio dramas. The audio drama crowd will pimp their stuff inside their own circles but not as much outside them. I will here adds for all the Pendant or Broken Sea stuff because i subscribe to them, but I wont usually here a promo for them in say a tech podcast or a scifi news podcast. I have had podiobook authors ask for promo swap with my gaming podcast though. None of the audiodrama books I have worked with have ever asked me to play their promo. I think that difference is maybe a big reason why they might get more traffic. Promo swaps means they are getting exposure outside their starting out tight crew.

Most of the podiobook authors who get the big number are also apt to show up at some of the bigger conventions so they can and put on a serious push to meet people and promote. It is easier to do when it is just one guy as a opposed to a group of people scattered around the planet.

I think it is a collection of things there. Some maybe audidrama crews can do something about. Some they cant.

just my thoughts mind ya.
