Amazon Ads for Authors - Step by Step Tutorial

Learn how to get started with Amazon Ads in this step-by-step tutorial. I cover the dashboard, automatic ads, keyword ads, and category ads.

(Sponsored Brand ads were giving me some trouble so I omitted those, but the process of creating them is very similar if you understand the others).

This was perfect. Great content. You took big ideas and spoke about them in simple terms. Not oversimplifying, but also not talking over people's heads. You have the talent of a great speaker.

I set up my ads today!! I'm super nervous because I really don't fully understand. But here goes! I paused it a bunch of times. I hope it works out. Thank you so much for this video!

[DougShear]

Thank you for the info. Amazon Ads scare me! You've broken it down to a pace I can follow and think I just might be able to apply to my books! If only I could pay someone to do these for me.

I have to say your channel is my fav. go-to for all things authorial - I've been writing (and trad. published) a VERY long time, but your short on how to make sure your book is remembered - have fun writing it! - what *brilliant* advice, and just what I needed recently whilst stuck in a valley of despond on my writerly journey - all blessings to you, stay cool

To start I was getting confused but after rewatching I am getting the idea! I can at least understand now where I was going wrong. I have been paying a fortune with amazon. Lets hope my newfound knowledge works. Thanks for your guidance!

[trishaleighartinsoul]

Thank you!! This was the most comprehensive video I've watched on the subject. I'm no longer afraid to try an Amazon ad.

[EeeByeGum]

[ajhumphreyswrites]

Super helpful video! Very easy to digest and follow, appreciate you!

[trevorscott]

This was great info, explained clearly and to the point. I've been losing money for years because I was more concerned about keeping my books relevant than making money. My mindset has changed now. I've already made some adjustments you've suggested. Thank you.

[renesbbwi]

Thank you so much, man. Your videos are always very informative and clear. Thumb up!
