Why I love LearnOutLoud

OK, I’m a bit biased here perhaps. 🙂 But one of the things that I love about this site is that every time we ship an order or serve a download it’s a product that we’re all proud to sell. When we started LearnOutLoud we made a conscious decision that we weren’t going to carry every spoken word audio title out there. Rather we were going to focus on the highest quality educational and inspirational material. If you’re looking for romance or crime or mystery that’s totally cool. You just won’t find it here.

A glance at our top ten best-selling titles reaffirms for me that the decision to only sell high-quality stuff with substance was the right one:

1. Meditations for Manifesting – By far our best-selling title. And for good reason. If you’re interested in learning Japa meditation there’s no better way than this audiobook.

2. Energizing the Body – We’ve been selling a lot of Dan Millman’s titles and this one has proved the most popular. Definitely worth checking out if you would like to have more energy. Uh, that would be all of us…

3. English for Portuguese (Brazilian) Speakers – This is our #3 best seller? Who would have thunk it? I will say though, there’s no better way to polish your language skills than with audio learning.

4. The Purpose-Driven Life – Rick Warren’s mega best-selling book is also a hit on audio.

5. The Science of Getting Rich – This title is actually on our top 10 twice. The Brian Johnson narrated version edges out the Gildan Media version to date.

6. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People – An all-time favorite from Steven Covey.

7. The Science of Getting Rich – The other Science of Getting Rich in our Top Ten.

8. The Chronicles of Narnia CD Box Set – The best value audiobook ever. 31 discs for $52. That’s a great deal! 🙂

9. The Twelve Gateways to Freedom – Another Dan Millman title. This one is excellent. Highly recommended.

10. English for Spanish Speakers – Suprise, surprise, more language training.

So that’s our Top Ten. Every one of those titles has the power to improve your life in some way. That’s what I love about this site and learning out loud in general. It’s self-improvement without taking time out of your day. Now what could be better than that?
