Signing up
What's included?
- Initial setup of 3 separate targeted campaigns (1 Keyword, 1 Category, 1 Comp Titles)
- Collaboration on competitive titles, keywords, and ad copy.
A successful Amazon PPC campaign requires
(our service includes all of these)
- Updating targeted titles (where we get the most clicks) based on the bestsellers in your categories (which are always changing).
- Adding negative keywords that might be costing you money for clicks that are poorly targeted.
- Revisiting categories we are targeting and add more if appropriate (Amazon is always adding new ones).
- Update the PPC $ amounts where your min. bid is no longer competitive (and getting you clicks).
- Adding/removing keywords.
Please Note: Our fee does not include Amazon pay-per-click (PPC) costs. We set up limits by campaign and the minimum amount Amazon allows is $100/campaign. The PPC budget will likely be spread over the first 2-3 months (or longer) since it depends on how often readers click on your ad and you can pause your campaign at anytime which will prevent any further charges from Amazon.
After you sign up with us, you may to create an AMS account and add your credit card for payment of the pay-per-click ads on Amazon.

You must provide me admin access to your AMS account!
If you do setup an account and hire us to assist you with setting up a campaign, you will need to add me as an admin so I can give access to my marketing coordinator. This allows us to create and manage campaigns for you. Please be sure to use my Amazon email address: brian@50interviews.com) at https://ams.amazon.com/userManagement. Here's a screenshot:

Here's a successful ad:
Title: Life Principles: and Work
Text: "...invaluable guidance." - Bill Gates "Filled with such wisdom." -Arianna Huffington
Title = 25 characters.
Text = 85 characters.
Compare that to these ads which have text that is too small to read - and it's less likely the shopper will take the time to read all the words. A successful ad needs to draw our attention (which tends toward a lazier/easier route):
I'm available to elaborate and discuss additional options. Please use my online scheduler to book a marketing consultation.
