I cannot create a new ads campaign
After everything is set and I click “Launch campaign,” the page scrolls to the top, no error messages are shown, but it’s impossible to save the campaign. Is it only my issue, or has somebody experienced the same today? Also, two books unexpectedly got the status "Live. With unpublished changes," even though I never requested any changes. There were no messages from Amazon about it. I'd like to understand whether this is a widespread issue before I contact support.

ℹ️ The issue is finally solved - all books that had the "Live. With unpublished changes" status have returned to normal.
Stop burning your KDP royalties on broad Amazon Ad campaigns. 📉
It's so frustrating to spend weeks writing a book, designing the perfect cover in Canva, and then watching your daily budget evaporate on Amazon Ads with zero sales to show for it. I was losing money on clicks until I realized my targeting was completely wrong. I stopped bidding on highly competitive keywords and deployed 'The Quiet Prospector' strategy. I used Igor's clustering method to find niche anomalies with BSRs around 30,000 but zero reviews. The prospector silently identifies these hidden gaps so my books rank organically without me having to bleed cash on PPC. Are you guys struggling more with getting the initial reviews, or keeping ACOS profitable?

@Isabella Brown Interesting. Could you please give more details to understand how you link random anomaly niche to your existing book? I mean, if I have a book about looksmaxxinng and I found anomaly in dementia treatment niche... How I would use it?

@Pamela Henkels In my opinion, only this one conveys the topic in colors, fonts, and illustrations. The rest of it is slightly off for different reasons. I mean, sunrise and red-based palettes are overly Buddhistic for the topic, probably.

@John Kutzer Good process, thank you for sharing. Just a small tweak: modern models (Opus 5, Sonnet 5, GPT 5.5+) are too smart, and “act as an...” does not help them; rather, it distracts them and reduces the result. So, prompts now should be compact and goal-oriented, not roles and step-by-step instructions as before.
Audiobooks: Human vs. AI-narrated
Surprising but predictable results: in blind tests, customers prefer AI-narrated books, yet prefer to purchase human-made ones. This is a great example of the current state of the industry: the quality of generative tools' production has leveled up with or exceeded average human levels. Yet, most customers still prefer to read or listen to a fellow human. Experience and taste - these two elements are necessary to produce a valuable product, and no tool can substitute them.

@Rodrigo Narciso Absolutely, mileage may vary. Anyway, since the list of countries with access to the Audible publishing option is very limited, for me, it's just a theoretical question for now.
Something I'm Grateful to Celebrate Today
I wanted to share a small milestone I'm genuinely grateful for—I recently reached Top Rated on Upwork. Looking back, it wasn't one big breakthrough that got me here. It was a lot of small improvements repeated over time: writing better proposals, communicating clearly, meeting deadlines, listening to client feedback, and always trying to leave every project a little better than I found it. One lesson that surprised me is that clients rarely hire the person who talks the most about themselves. They hire the person who understands their problem and explains how they'll solve it. That mindset changed the way I approach both my work and my proposals. I'm grateful to every client who trusted me with their publishing projects and to communities like this one where I've continued learning from others. Still learning. Still improving. On to the next milestone. 🚀 Thank you @Laura Diaz @Meggy Halfon @Igor O for trusting me with your projects

@Temmy Ay Congratulations! Interesting observation - the Kindle version you formatted from my paperback has already earned more net royalties in just one month than I paid you. So, if I had been less greedy/lazy, I would have earned like half a thousand USD more over the last few months. I learnt my lesson, and I hope it will be a good example to the community members: do not lose opportunities.
