However, once that happened, those who learned how to use Amazon\u2019s Marketing Services (AMS) and were the first to enter this market would reap the greatest benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, that time is now. Fully revised, the new AMS service has low competition and shows major signs of being a <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/book-marketing\/\">profitable marketing tactic<\/a> for books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/ams-book-advertising-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">what is AMS<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This system allows you to place an advertisement of your book alongside other books in Amazon. Basically, you can set up advertisements that get your book in front of more Amazon shoppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sw-tweet-clear\"><\/div><a class=\"swp_CTT style1\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=This+is+quite+possibly+the+easiest+way+to+get+your+book+discovered+%23BookMarketing&url=https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/amazon-ads-case-study\/\" data-link=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=This+is+quite+possibly+the+easiest+way+to+get+your+book+discovered+%23BookMarketing&url=https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/amazon-ads-case-study\/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"sw-click-to-tweet\"><span class=\"sw-ctt-text\">This is quite possibly the easiest way to get your book discovered #BookMarketing<\/span><span class=\"sw-ctt-btn\">Click To Tweet<i class=\"sw swp_twitter_icon\"><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t believe me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll show you, plus I\u2019ll give you some tips that can help you get started immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In this article, you\u2019ll learn:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>What happened with my books because of AMS<\/li><li>Lessons learned and pitfalls to the system<\/li><li>Ways to increase your Amazon Advertising ROI<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But Before You Jump In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're new to AMS or have been doing it for a while, I highly recommend you check out Dave's article on <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/ams-book-advertising-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Book Advertisements<\/a>, and take <a href=\"http:\/\/courses.kindlepreneur.com\/courses\/AMS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kindlepreneur's FREE AMS Advertisements for Books course<\/a>.

What did my run of AMS do for my book sales?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with my bestseller, <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2h3kG8z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">The Art of Persistence<\/a>. Published in April 2015, it had a pretty solid launch, but unlike most of my books, it has continued to sell fairly consistently since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a picture of my sales, and the green line represents when I started to do the AMS ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Art-of-Persistence-AMS-sales-data.png\" alt=\"art-of-persistence-ams-sales-data\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Not bad considering my sales doubled after implementing the AMS ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this next one though, let\u2019s look at a book that had an amazing launch, but sales quickly died off after I stopped doing all the <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/list-sites-promote-free-amazon-books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">book site promotions<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/book-marketing-101\/\">marketing hustle<\/a>. I published <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2h3pfzv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Trickle Down Mindset<\/a> in January 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Trickle-Mindset-Book-Sales-AMS-Data.png\" alt=\"trickle-mindset-book-sales-ams-data\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not exactly making me rich&#8230;but you can clearly see that AMS brought a <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/e13-reviving-dead-book-case-study\/\">dead book<\/a> back to life. &nbsp;I\u2019ll call that a victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, I had 6 different campaigns, and AMS helped to increase book sales at varying degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"standard-cta testimonial\" id=\"cta-block_60a2afd218233\">\r\n    <div class=\"cta-inner row\">\r\n                    <div class=\"cta-media col-md-4\">\r\n                                    <div class=\"cta-media-inner\">\r\n                    \r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/click\/rocket-in-content\" alt=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">                        \r\n                                                    <i class=\"fa fa-play\"><\/i>\r\n                        \r\n                                                    <div class=\"img-overlay\"><\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/PR_Competition-Feature-e1621274721682.png\" alt=\"Publisher Rocket Amazon Dashboard\" height=\"232\" width=\"400\">\r\n                        \r\n                        <\/a>                    <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n        \r\n        <div class=\"cta-body col-md-8\" style=\"text-align:center;\">  \r\n                            <a class=\"cta-heading\" href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/click\/rocket-in-content\" alt=\"\">\r\n                            <h3>Book Marketing Made Simple<\/h3>\r\n                            <\/a>\r\n                        \r\n            <p>Over 47,000+ authors, NYT bestsellers, and publishing companies use Publisher Rocket to gain key insight to the market.\u00a0<b>Help your book now<\/b><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yeah-but-did-you-make-any-money\">Yeah, But Did You Make Any Money?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like with all advertising, it costs money to get your book ad in front of more shoppers. So, did I actually make any money or did I spend more than I made?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That answer is simple&#8230;yes, but it didn\u2019t start that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I started, I made a lot of costly mistakes that ate into my bottom line. Here are a couple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-keyword-selection\">1. Keyword Selection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, not the <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/kindle-keywords-fiction-author-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kindle keywords<\/a> that Dave Chesson always goes off on&#8230;I mean the keywords you want your advertisement to show up for. These are incredibly important for the success of your campaign. Therefore, when you\u2019re looking at your keywords, here are my recommendations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Amazon\u2019s suggestions aren\u2019t worth much so don\u2019t rely on them.<\/li><li>It\u2019s better to target Author names and <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/how-to-title-a-book-with-good-book-titles\/\">book titles<\/a> that are closely related to your book &#8211; aka your competitors &#8211; instead of descriptive words.<\/li><li>Start with at least 300 keywords before you start your campaign &#8211; Yes, you read that right&#8230;300.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-budget-it-right\">2. Budget it right<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to get carried away when seeing a direct effect between your ads and you getting more sales. However, don\u2019t let it get away from you. On the other hand, though, I recommend you set up at least a monthly ads budget of $90 per book per month. &nbsp;This will be enough to help you acquire decent data, without losing lots of money in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-track-the-cost-metrics-every-day\">3. Track the cost metrics every day:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make snapshots of data every day, preferably at midnight, because KDP's and Create Space's reporting periods are from midnight to midnight PCT. (I admit I have it easy, PCT midnight in my timezone is 9:00 am.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capturing data every day will give you trends. You will not only know the total expenses, clicks, and impressions, but also how they were yesterday, a day before, and a week ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-know-the-profitability-of-each-sale\">4. Know the profitability of each sale<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way you can figure out if you are breaking even in your ads expenditure is by ACTUALLY knowing how much money you make per sale. And, the biggest mistake most new authors to AMS make is that they interpret Amazon\u2019s &#8220;Est. Total Sales&#8221; as their profit\u2026but it isn\u2019t &#8211; and no, Amazon doesn\u2019t report your profit which is sort of sneaky of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, after the sale of a book, Amazon takes their 30% or 70% depending on your price. &nbsp;Plus, they also take that cursed downloading fee as well. And if you live in a country where Amazon does tax withholdings, don\u2019t forget that either. I live in Poland and because of that, Amazon withholds an extra 10% and I still have to pay taxes to Poland on that income as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the real danger appears when authors think they made $100 due to reading the Est. Total Sales in their AMS dashboard, but in truth, they only gained $44 in profit. This could lead authors to believe they are making money from their AMS campaign, but in truth, they are losing money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help me with this, so that I don\u2019t lose track of what is really \u201cprofitable,\u201d I track all of those metrics in<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1RG-0R_Wr27ksGTPhPP-FxMaqSztbI6w0Kse2oQAVTCs\/edit?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> a Google sheet<\/a>. Of course, I guesstimate how many copies were purchased from ads and how many were organic, but it really helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-must-have-a-paperback-for-this-to-work\">You MUST&nbsp;Have a Paperback for This to Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The profit margins for paperbacks are usually much better than with kindle only. Therefore, if you offer paperbacks as well as kindle, you stand to make more money from your ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, with two different versions of your book (paperback and kindle), you have a better chance of a sale &#8211; because there are still some people that won\u2019t do the kindle thing and need the feel of paper on their fingers&#8230;I can relate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sw-tweet-clear\"><\/div><a class=\"swp_CTT style1\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=You+MUST+have+a+paperback+for+Amazon+Ads+to+work+%23BookMarketing&url=https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/amazon-ads-case-study\/\" data-link=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=You+MUST+have+a+paperback+for+Amazon+Ads+to+work+%23BookMarketing&url=https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/amazon-ads-case-study\/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"sw-click-to-tweet\"><span class=\"sw-ctt-text\">You MUST have a paperback for Amazon Ads to work #BookMarketing<\/span><span class=\"sw-ctt-btn\">Click To Tweet<i class=\"sw swp_twitter_icon\"><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, with the increase of potential profits by having your book in both paperback and kindle, you can spend more on advertising and take more risks. With the increase in the margins, you can now target specific authors with an especially valuable audience and spend more to acquire their clicks. However, with Kindle only versions, especially if they are priced low, you simply don't have such flexibility and your profitability is endangered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, by also offering a paperback of your book, you stand to make more money from the AMS sale. This, in turn, improves your break even point.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"standard-cta testimonial nohover\" id=\"cta-block_60a2bc191823d\">\r\n    <div class=\"cta-inner row\">\r\n                    <div class=\"cta-media col-md-4\">\r\n                                    <div class=\"cta-media-inner\">\r\n                    \r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/click\/ams-in-content\" alt=\"Sign Up Now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/amazon-ads-laptop-1.png\" alt=\"Amazon Ads for Books\" height=\"290\" width=\"512\">\r\n                        \r\n                        <\/a>                    <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n        \r\n        <div class=\"cta-body col-md-8\" style=\"text-align:center;\">  \r\n                            <a class=\"cta-heading\" href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/click\/ams-in-content\" alt=\"Sign Up Now\">\r\n                            <h3>Learn Amazon Ads for Free<\/h3>\r\n                            <\/a>\r\n                        \r\n            <p>Check out my full free video course that will teach you how to make effective Ads to increase your book sales<\/p>\n            <a class=\"offer-button\" href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/click\/ams-in-content\" alt=\"Sign Up Now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Sign Up Now<\/a>        <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, using Amazon\u2019s Ad system to sell your book is pretty profitable.
