I’ve never been one to shy away from a calculated risk. Granted, some of those calculated risks have blown up in my face in the past (not seriously) but that’s the price we pay for playing the games of Life.
What I am talking about is the new advertising campaigns that I created on Amazon for my books. I wanted to start out slow but in true “me” fashion, once I started the first one I just HAD to shoot the works and set them up for everything I had out there. After all, the point is to get the word out, right?
Will they work? Well, anything is an improvement over doing nothing and I abhor doing nothing.
Will it cost me? Of course. Everything has some cost attached to it, either in money or time. The trick is to minimize as much of each as you can.
Will Mary Jane come out of the coma and stop her evil twin from marrying Brad? You’ll just have to stay tuned to find out on the next episode of As The Stomach Turns…
I am profoundly interested in seeing how this goes for you. I have been considering making a move with some paid marketing myself. Watching closely and hoping it is a raging success!

Thanks, Bud. I’ve shied away from this aspect of the process in the past so every step I make now is a learning experience. My primary goal with this (believe it or not) isn’t to make any sales but instead to increase visibility. Hope you’re doing well. 🙂

You must be working to be up this late/early. I’m in Ireland this week so maybe we’ll be awake at the same time, lol! Anyway hopefully visibility will translate into sales at some point, right? Hope you are well, too!

Writing often takes me long into the night…hehe. Ireland, huh? I’ve always wanted to visit that lovely place. I think anything that puts our writing in front of the most people has to be a good thing.

I’m learning the first very important lesson at least for Amazon Ads: Write the best ad copy you can and disregard their suggestions with concern to bids and start low to gauge reaction. You can always adjust during the campaign duration.
