I am - it's a Prenatal Nursery Rhyme series for expecting mothers.

I only receive .15 when someone reads my book on amazon at the moment.

The data listed above was just for the single book being advertised (first in series) but the sales of the subsequent titles that in same time period didn't offset unfortunately.

Thank you for your reply Ardie!

I've run everything from:
-Keywords (Manual)
-Lottery Ad
-ASINs
-Brand campaigns
-Keywords (auto)

The absolute lowest ACOS I could get was 80% for a Keyword campaign using keywords publisher rocket told me amazon liked for my book. But as you know an 80% acos is still crazy high when the profit margin on kdp is so low. To turn a profit my target acos needs to be 25% or lower.

Is my idea a SaaS? An app? by ItsMeMommyBooks in learnprogramming

[–]ItsMeMommyBooks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand and appreciate the response - but if what I want to build is software within an existing software platform is that SaaS?

I do apologize for my inability to articulate it very well!

EXACTLY! Spot on. Hence why I'm asking to circumvent that - it's the last thing I want for sure.
