๐Ÿ“š When Should You Turn On Amazon Ads?
Amazon Ads can be a great way to get more eyes on your book and see how your book performs against competitors. But before you turn them on, you need to be prepared for the reality that ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฌ ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€. Youโ€™re testing keywords, gathering data, and learning whether your listing can actually convert.
So how do you know if your book is ready for ads?
โญ ๐——๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„๐˜€? I personally recommend having a minimum of 20 reviews before turning on ads. Customers want social proof. If your book has very few reviews and the competing books have dozens or hundreds, getting the click doesnโ€™t necessarily mean youโ€™ll get the sale.
โญ ๐——๐—ผ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—”+ ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐˜‚๐—ฝ? These are the marketing graphics that appear further down your Amazon listing and give you another opportunity to sell your book. Amazon allows you to create A+ Content for FREE.

While you canโ€™t currently just upload your own promotional video directly to every book listing, you can work with an Amazon Influencer to create a shoppable video that can be tagged to your book.
I actually offer this as a service for ๐—ท๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜ $๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฌ. Iโ€™ll order your book, create a shoppable video featuring it, and tag it to your Amazon listing.

Get the foundation right first, then start spending money to send more people to it.
