Have you been using Amazon Marketing Services ads only to discover you didn’t improve your book sales?
Or, are you thinking about advertising with Amazon to improve Amazon Kindle books sales?
Then, you’ll want to catch the recent interview about Amazon Marketing Services Ads for Books with expert Marco Moutinho.
And, you’ll finally get the answer to the burning question – Are AMS ads worth it?
Last year, I shared my initial thoughts and experiences with Amazon Marketing Services Ads for Kindle (see here).
But, AMS for books has since expanded and many experts have stepped to the forefront to share their insights.
Enter the recent guest expert interview with Marco Moutinho.
Quadrupled Profits with Amazon Marketing Services Ads
I’m always on the lookout for cutting-edge information in self-publishing, so you can imagine how elated I was when Marco reached out to me about a month ago.
Marco contacted prior to the release of his course The AMS Ads Profit Formula a thorough yet succinct coverage of how to use Amazon Marketing Services for your books.
After completing his course, I had to discuss insights on how he quadrupled his profits between January and March this year.
And, here’s the kicker – Marco used to think AMS was a tool that didn’t work and considered it a waste of time.
Now, he finds it to be a must-use tool and admits if you aren’t using it, you are losing money.
With a bold statement like that, you need to hear more by this self-publishing dynamo. Catch the live interview in the video window above.
