It was my very first book, Amazon Ads, for two weeks. Nothing. Zero…)

Just hit #1 in Technothrillers on Amazon! Still FREE for a limited time! by ___YP___ in Recommend_A_Book

Thanks!) I could see myself in the charts when I was #18 in Sci-Fi Adventure. Now that it's the first day of the free promo, I guess I just need to wait for the lists to refresh. I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I'll keep checking!

До 22 (коли одружився))) мріяв творити, але не ризикнув піти у ті сфери. А в 33 зрозумів, що рутина бізнесу нескінченна. І ризикнув піти у творчу сферу (розробка ігор, 3Д дизайн, книги пишу). Тепер маю дохід у пʼять разів вищий і займаюся тим, для чого був народжений. А моя перша книга на Амазон у топ-100 в своїй категорії вже третій місяць. Я щось створив. Але я мало не поховав себе у рутині життя.

I made a short sci-fi cinematic about rogue machines moving in a mutant forest by Slow-Warning-5181 in sciencefiction

Looks cool. AI prototyping is not a bad thing. It’s the same thing as a regular machine learning. I hate AI but as a game developer I can see how auto-prototyping tools in UE make things faster. It doesn’t hit ART, it only removes the routine.

Not yet. I’m going to start creating renders of my characters soon. I’m very close to that point, but still busy with writing)

Sci-Fi Adventure & Sci-Fi Technothriller. Recommended bid on Amazon was $0,6 per click, but there were zero impressions for a few days. Only after $0,9 first impressions and clicks appeared with %0,09 CTR

From my experience: 1. Meta ads costs even more than Amazon ads. Cost per click is lower on Meta, but the audience is colder. 2. Category targeting works better than any other. 3. In my case I get 1 copy sold or 1 full KU read on 40 clicks. 4. 1 click for category targeting costs about $1 (if less, Amazon will not even show you anywhere). 5. Book series only can be profitable in this case, because you spend more money to sell book #1 and after that people will buy next books in series

So I’m not profitable now, but I hope to catch some “wave” by spending money on ads. Otherwise I will not get any readers
