Hi. Just discovered you today as I'm coming back to retry KDP again after a long pause. Great explanations, great value. You earned a new sub. But at the end of the video, you talk about an "ad strategy that you shared in "the community." I thought this ad strategy you share right here was the good one. Do I have to forget this one and search for that ad that you shared "in the community ?" Are there 2 different strategies ? I mean, I know from experience KDP is time consuming sometimes, so I'd like to be on the right path right away, not going sideways... Thank you.

That's a very good question. There are different strategies for different occasions and different goals :)

Brilliant video! Thank you for explaining the process. Quick question though - you discuss the importance of reviews, but how do you get those reviews? It's a bit of a catch 22; you need reviews to make sales, but you need sales to get reviews. Also, regarding keywords, could someone clarify something for me? So, the term 'keywords' seems to be used for different purposes; does it refer to the keywords you would use when setting up a manual campaign? Or do keywords refer to the ones you add in the back end when creating your book listing on KDP? Or both?

I use book review gathering websites to get reviews such as Pubby or Getbooksreviewed. As for keywords, there are different types. You can amazon ads keywords and backend keywords and SEO keywords. (A phrase or word that describes your book) They are all referred to as the same. A search term on the other hand is the exact phrase a customer types in the search bar to find your book :)

Thanks for sharing your expertise Barry. I'm experimenting with ads right now. After running an auto campaign and gathering DATA(!) I decided to run 2 manual campaigns- 1 for keywords and one for targeting products. So far (this month) the targeted products campaign is performing approx twice as well as the keyword campaign. I feel I have kind of stumbled into this and wonder if you have any pointers to share about targeted product ads. 😊

Absolutely. Product campaigns can work very effectively especially if you have a great cover, a good amount of reviews and you show up on page 1 of the coursel on your competitors listing :)

Very helpful, thanks. As someone outside the US, what account do you use to pay $ for ads? I'm in the UK and I guess revolut, wise, or similar would work? I just read someone said they received their royalties in $ as well. Mine is automatically converted to £ by Amazon for all marketplaces. Am I losing money doing that? I don't know what conversion rate they're using. Thanks.

@barrygeorgioukdp

I think those banks work for ads and to receive your royalties. They are automatically converted I believe but I'm not an expert on the bank side of things or the currency conversion. Hopefully someone can reply to this comment with more experience on this subject :)

Ok, how does this strategy apply to fiction?

@barrygeorgioukdp

12 күн бұрын

Unfortunately, I only focus on high content non-fiction :)

I think I'll try the fixed bids strategy for low-content. however I'm interested why do you use fixed bids instead of for example using increased % bids for top-of-search results? Sees to me a more flexible strategy with more or less the same results.

@barrygeorgioukdp

I see that a combination of both can work effectively however sometimes other placements can work better. I won't know until I gather the data :)

@vladimir.zlokazov

Ай бұрын

@@barrygeorgioukdp I see. I've tried fixed bids but after a few days switched back to 'down only' for a new book with a pretty high bid. I find it more convenient to track if the bid can be decreased after some time.

Very nice video! 16:39 You mention 4 keywords. Is it okay to have 4 keywords only generally? I mean, if these are the only keywords that are "hyper" is it okay or it's better to find more keywords? Also, what if a book is a fiction book? These keywords are way too general and I'm not sure what keywords I can put there in the future, because I'm planning on a fiction book. For example, if it's a horror book. It's not a specific non-fiction book that it's about "how to draw" so you have the keyword. It's a story.. what kind of keywords can fit on a fiction books? "Horror story" etc? I'm very skeptical on the ads part with a fiction book because it's my first time going for a high content book and I'm confused with the keywords. I can't come up with keywords on how to promote such a book with ads. Or if it's a fairytale for kids for example..

@barrygeorgioukdp

Ай бұрын

This strategy is the most targeted strategy which will bring traffic that is most likely to convert. If you have more general keywords I would assume you have a larger budget and you will most likely have a lower conversion rate so less effective traffic. For fiction books I think product campaigns can work effectively :)
