History
In February 2012, ACX launched "DIY workflow". DIY allows users who own the audio rights to already completed audiobooks to upload them individually through ACX and have them distributed through Audible's sales channels.[6]
In April 2013, ACX announced "Audible Author Services" which is an incentive program to distribute profits to audiobook authors. Authors who register receive $1 for each audiobook sold.[9][10]
