EP. 67: How to Sell Your Book Using Amazon Ads w/ Alana Terry

Amazon Ads

Do you want an effective marketing strategy that not only targets readers actively looking for books but also provides you with immediate visibility and results? This week, we are speaking with Alana Terry, an award-winning Christian suspense novelist and USA Today bestseller. She is also the co-founder of the Successful Writer Marketplace and a well-known ads coach for authors. Listen as Alana shares her experience with paid advertising, reveals best practices for running Amazon ads, and encourages authors to view advertising as a time investment that can yield long-term benefits. Listen in!

Tune in to Hear:

  • How Alana is selling her books with both Amazon and Facebook Ads
  • How much money you must be willing to invest to get started in Amazon Ads (hint: it’s way less than you think!)
  • The best practices for running an effective Amazon Ad (and the number one thing you should not do!)
  • The first step you should take if you want to learn more about Amazon Ads
