Bottom line: I have Audible coupons, too.
I have three teasers for the promo, but I’m not sure which one is most effective. Which one would you find most compelling – assuming you were wanting to sign up and save money with an Audible subscription?
(1) Are you tired of reading books? Me too. Over the years, I developed pulpuslaceratapohobia – and the only known cure for that is Audible. Finally, a way to digest words without actually having to read them. Professional voices are wonderful choices if you love literary works in audio format. Are you ready to read some audio books? Maybe you should just listen to them instead.
(2) See Bob read. Read, Bob, read. Why isn’t Bob listening to books, instead? We’re not quite sure, but we’ve got a hunch that he’s never heard of Audible. You haven’t, either? Well, now’s your chance to check ‘em out – because the sooner you sign up for an account, the sooner your eyes can rest while your mind expands. Audio books are the only way to go.
(3) What was your favorite children’s book? What’s your child’s favorite book – and how many reads did it take before it became a not-so-favorite of yours? Audible to the rescue! Keep kids entertained with an audio book or two. The rewind button is only a click away. Save your voice. Save your sanity. Sign up today.
I’m not sure Audible would approve my copy, but… hey, the link works.

I believe the second would keep the listener/reader’s attention more than other two.
All are good, but as said, (2) will keep people interested and with a light mind towards the promo compared to others that may seem a tad boring .

1. It has the best attention getter. I’ve been tired of reading for years now!
#1 also sounds the best

I like No.2! It reminds me of an Enyzyte commercial. Go with 2.

#1, but with the twist of “No need to stop at Cracker Barrel anymore” to have your favorite book read to you while on the road.
You’ve paid $30k or more for that new car with Bluetooth, sourround sound, and iPod connection, now use it to educate yourself and feed your brain.

I like the first one Better Chris, it explains what audible is and tells you what kind of quality it is. Having Professional voices read you the books is always better than having me read them to you for example. The other two are shorter and don’t really go into detail about Audible other than the fact its a book thats read to you. The first one also informs ya that you can download them in any format, which caught my attention. I’ve heard of Audible before, but the first one makes me wanna sign up :-)

I like the first one most because it tells the reader whats going on and doesn’t throw in too many things. the second one was too busy, and even i had to read it a few times to get it all (maybe i shouldve gotten it on audible) and the third kinda gives a humorous look on it, but doesn’t seem to apply to me, or everyone. I say number 1.

I choose #1. The second made me giggle a bit because of the whole ‘Bob’ thing but #1 seems to fit in with everything else better.

For me, # 3 seems to work the best. However, I will give deatals on what I like and do nt like on all 3.
1. I like that fact that it’s really straight to the point. However, it seems that it is refering that people are too lazy/rushed int he day to listen to audiobooks, and are too stupid to read.
2. It’s making me feel that it’s bad to read.. I mean for example how in the hell will actors learn lines just by listening to an audiobook? Sorry, but there really isn’t much to make me like this, cept for your joke at the start.. Yet still, that doesn’t make me feel good about the site..
3. This feels like a real commercial. It seems that you are getting good information there. It also does a good job giving good reasons for audio books over reading to you children all the time. However, we still need to encourage children to read, or we are going to raising a lot of lazy dumbass people in the future.

Number 1. The teaser is humorous and is fitting with the Pirillo style. It is also the one that would make me want to sign up for Audible. Mostly I would like to see Chris pronounce pulpuslaceratapohobia.

Number one is the best because it first catches the readers attention with a problem of theirs. Then it gives them a solution that they would like.

Adding the last two sentences from option two to the first option sounds great. Although, the sentence mentioning audio books keeping children entertained makes me want to sign up again.

As a parent, I’d have to go with number 3, as long as it doesn’t come across as a substitute for parenting. Reading _Goodnight Moon_ every night not only taught my daughter to read when she was 3–it was good bonding time.

Dude seriously, find a cool and unique sponsor and stop following Leo and his merry bunch. Don’t become the echo chamber of sponsors.

I don’t much like any of them; I must say I am a subscriber of Audible and the main reseon I subscribe is there is no time to read and I would like to read some books.
So listening to a book is the best way of using my time on the freeway while I drive to and from work.
I even listen to books while at work. It can be a distraction so it depends how heavily i need to focus on the material I’m working on. Sometimes I just listen to music. Luckily , I’m in a situation where I can have something playing all day long just so I can drown out the ambient noise.
Audible books for the win. Now if there were only not so expensive. btw, audible does have some great deals so that expense isnt so great and much tolarable.
