You’ve published your book. You’ve tried ads.
And somehow, the numbers still feel like a fog.

You’re spending on Amazon Ads… but you can’t tell what’s working.
You tweak bids and keywords… then second-guess every change.
Your royalties rise and fall… and you’re never sure why.

This isn’t a motivation problem. It’s a measurement problem.

Most marketing advice for authors is either too vague (“just test!”) or too expensive (“scale with a bigger budget”). What you actually need is a simple way to know, in advance, whether an ad can be profitable—so you can stop guessing and start scaling.

Book Marketing for Self-Published Authors gives you a profit-first system for Amazon Ads built for real authors with real budgets.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

Calculate your break-even ACOS so you know exactly what “profitable” means for your book
Set bids with confidence (and stop paying for clicks that can’t possibly earn back)
Turn keyword chaos into a clean, repeatable structure for scaling campaigns
Use price and format strategy to increase conversion without racing to the bottom
Know what to do next when an ad is winning, stalling, or burning cash
Build an ad system that lasts, whether you write fiction, non-fiction, standalones, or series

You don’t need to be a data analyst. You don’t need a huge ad budget.
You just need the right rules—and a process you can repeat.

If you’re ready to turn Amazon Ads into a predictable income engine, start here.
