Welcome to Top-Audiobook-Downloads.com
My name is Gerrit du Plessis and I’m one of the partners of this amazing audio bookstore. This is a
picture of me and my assistant Geraldine, at our office in South Africa. It’s our responsibility to help you find our site in cyberspace.
I started the company, Warm People cc in 2005, to help with job creation in South Africa.
(If you wonder where the name Warm People comes from, here’s the explanation: Since I started the company as a clothing retailer, I thought the name Warm People will be appropriate, since people dress mostly to be warm. However the company has since changed and so has the meaning. Today we consider it as a symbol of warm heartiness. We hope that the audio books we supply to you will warm your heart and make you a “Warm People”.)
During 2006 I decided to test the possibilities to generate an extra stream of income for the company through the Internet.
I have always dreamt of selling products online around the world.
A very well-known Internet marketer from Singapore informed me about Spoken Network’s plan to launch their new digital audio bookstores online.
By the end of 2006 we joined Spoken Network Ltd, based in the UK, and launched Top-Audiobook-Downloads.com
Today we provide a wide range of audio books to our customers in USA, UK, Germany, South Africa, Afghanistan, India, and Mexico, just to mention a few.
We’ve since closed down the clothing section of the company and are now totally focused on the audio book download market. Exciting times lie ahead as more and more people discover this unique source of information that’s only a click of a mouse away.
The network has a huge selection of the world’s leading audio publishers such as: Simon & Schuster, BBC, Harper Collins, Time Warner, Zondervan, etc., and some smaller independent publishers.
You will find quality audio book titles from well known authors like Stephen King, Dale Carnegie, Rhonda Byrne, Jack Canfield, J. R. R. Tolkien, Robert T. Kiyosaki, Joel Osteen, Jay McGraw, etc. just to mention a few.
With the explosion of digital devices like the iPod, MP3 players, and the new generation of mobile phones, the audio book market are going to grow at a very fast pace for years to come.
If you are interested to sell quality audio books from the world’s leading publisher and authors, then feel free to join our audio book affiliate program and easily monetize your website or Blog.
Today I’m hooked by audio books. It’s much cheaper than the physical product and it’s so easy and quick to download your own copy.
It’s our mission to provide you with the best service regarding digital audio book downloads that money can buy. We are also proud members of the Better Internet Bureau and e-Trust-e.
Publish my first audio book:
I’ve published my first Afrikaans children audio book, Eekie Eekhoring, in 2007. More Afrikaans titles will be published under our new publishing company, "Voorspoed Uitgewers" (Meaning Prosperity Publishers), during 2008. I wrote this story when I was 10 years old and have won a school price for it. Today it’s one of the world’s first Afrikaans audio books and is available on our site as a free MP3 download.
Afrikaans is our home tongue and one of South Africa’s eleven official languages. The language has it’s origin from Dutch, since South Africa’s Cape Colony use to be a Dutch trading post from the 1600’s.
Today about 11 million people speak Afrikaans and it’s quite common to hear our language in countries like England, Canada, Holland, Australia and New Zealand, where many South Africans resides. If you are Dutch, then you will understand about 90% of the language.
The future of Audio Book Downloads:
I think that the future of digital audio books is just great! The impact of Global Warming is also forcing us to support environmentally friendly products. Digital audio books are a great alternative to physical books. There’s no need to cut down trees to create paper, needed for physical books. The bad thing about physical audio books is that they need to be saved on CD's that's created from plastic. To create plastic you need fossil oil. So do your part and download one of our digital audio book titles and help save the planet.
I recommend you start with one of our free audio books, provided with compliments by the respected publishers and authors.
We hope you'll enjoy your digital audio book downloads on our site and please feel free to contact me at info@top-audiobook-downloads.com if you have any questions regarding our service or products.
Have a great day online,
Gerrit du Plessis and Geraldine Beukman.
