      Mr Sean Dollwet,
      Could one *change the "keywords"* _while the "manual targeting" campaign is still running?_
      A reply would be appreciated.

    Hey Sean, I noticed one of your point was to start ads with automatic campaigns. Sometimes that does work but what works for me is to run only manual targeting for the first 30-45 days. This way you're only getting sales from highly relevant search terms and the algorithm starts to learn exactly what your book is about and who your customers are. After the 30-45 day mark, since I've indexed for the correct keywords, proved to amazon that I have a high conversion rate and gave amazon enough sales data to make correct bid adjustments, I will run a down only auto campaign and a up and down auto campaign. They work 10x better this way and have seen a massive difference in ACoS. Not guaranteeing it will work for everyone but that's what works for me :) Great video as always!

    I would definitely be interested in learning about Amazon Ads. I've self-published one book - almost 10 years ago. Did no marketing, but it did pretty good for a while. Slowly sales fell off, though, and then a few months ago they quickly bottomed out, which makes me think that the algorithm for finding the book changed at that point. One of the questions I have for advertising is, Can you place a limit on how much you spend in a given period even if the search word you pick is a very popularly searched word? I'll be publishing a second book within the month so this info will come in handy for an upcoming book launch as well.

    I recently did a Pubby campaign and was disappointed. I got reviews as fast as they allowed in about a month (9) with their enforced pacing. I spent $30 to sign up plus another $23 to buy books worth "reading." So, each review, indirectly, cost $5.88. Does anyone read the books you must buy to get Pubby points, including your book? Probably not. Readers give them a quick scan. They are just doing it to get Pubby points and help themselves, not you. Pubby reviews are usually short and reveal people did not actually read the book. Some Pubby reviewers just hit the 4 or 5 star button to get their points and write nothing. Pubby meets Amazon criteria for reviews, but many authors will likely be disillusioned with the Pubby process.

    I disagree about advertising-it all depends on the niche. If it is overcrowded, such as Coloring Book, and amazon puts you on the 10th page, then even if you have a beautiful cover and interior, no one will look at the 10th page and buy. Here you need to help advertising.
