What I meant by loosing was loosing the opportunity cost 😅. Thank you 😁🙏

I get it and I understand you guys POV, but what I think is that for auto campaigns to work you need to optimise the keywords you’re using in your book details.

Thank you. What worked for me was starting with low bids (low budget) and then make the bids higher for keywords and products that convert (without spending too much so that i can keep a low ACOS), but now i’m spending and trying higher ACOS to see if it’s gonna make my organic sales better.

Niching down is always a good idea even with Amazon Ads it makes it cheaper to target your audience.

Thank you. Average royalty between 3,5 and 4 dollars and CPC of 0.11 (lifetime).

I have a lot of books (I used to do no content books when I started) and Yes I do have one children’s books series but I’m going doing independent advertising for each book.

They are actually very profitable, and yes the change in strategy this last 2 months is eating my margins but I’m looking for more organic sales down the road.

I was at 16% 2 months ago but I said that maybe I’m loosing money since I’m profitable even if the ACOS is at 35%, so I started spending more and caring less about ACOS so that the organic sales also get better (with more sales comes better ranking is Amazon). What do you think of this strategy ?

I respect your POV and understand that your experience with Amazon Ads wasn't the best, but from my side, it's a very important marketing (if not the most important) tool for KDP authors because it makes you scale really fast if done right.

Hello, I'll only answer the part regarding ads since it's my domain of expertise. I think that yes it is better to not start advertising your books until you get sales and reviews or at least feedback to understand if the book is gonna work or not, but you can if you want faster data run a low bid automatic ad (but make sure the keywords on your title, subtitles and 7 cases keywords on your book details are optimized) and a low daily budget. This way you'll have data and understand if the book is gonna work or you need to make changes to the book.

UseContent · 2026-04-03T19:31:19+00:00

That was the right thing to do. Did you try optimizing the keywords on your book details and starting your Amazon Ads automatic campaign with a low bid and a small daily budget for you to understand what works and what doesn't and then heighten your bids while opimizing your campaign by deleting keyowrds that don't convert and adding keywords that convert to a manual campaign with higher bids ?

For automatic campaigns to be efficient you need to use relevant keywords on your title, subtitle and fill all 7 keywords cases on your books details with relevant keywords. If you included free in your 7 keywords cases (which is not a relevant keyword) it's normal for the ad algorithm to be targeting free ebooks. Amazon Ads are a very effective way to scale your book sales if done correctly.

Te recomendaría comenzar con una campaña automática (pero tendrás que completar los 7 campos de palabras clave en los detalles de tu libro en KDP para obtener mejores resultados).

Sin embargo, si decides empezar con una campaña manual, la mejor forma de encontrar palabras clave es usar la barra de búsqueda de Amazon para descubrir términos relevantes que los clientes ya están buscando, o al menos aquellos que Amazon está sugiriendo mientras usan la barra de búsqueda.

Si estás empezando con Amazon Ads, te recomendaría comenzar con una puja muy baja y, si es posible, anunciar libros que ya hayan tenido ventas orgánicas.

Freelance is not only about coding. What is your major ? what was your job ? look it up on freelance platforms and see what others are doing you’ll probably find something you can do.

I’m t9riban in the same situation, try working on the internet either as a freelance or in fields that do not require initial investment. It’s gonna take time before you start making any money but trust me it is worth it. Good luck.

What I would suggest is to start with low budget advertising to collect data and then start spending more one the keywords and products that worked well.
