Ok. I started a Sponsored Products Campaign on 13/12/2016. Initially, I accepted the Amazon recommended Keywords (about 10), set my Bid at $0.10 and waited three days. I managed to get 4 Impressions (no Clicks), which wasn't great. I then upped my Bid by $0.05 a day for the next couple of days. This got me a total of 74 Impressions (no Clicks) at $0.25 Bid price. I then decided to add Keywords, about 50 in total. Suddenly, my Impressions started to jump into the hundreds and then thousands. Eventually, I got to 275 Keywords and managed to get 221,000 Impressions (140 Clicks) over the course of the Campaign. The Campaign ended on 31/12/2016. The metrics are very poor, they don't update realtime. According to the Campaign Management page I had no sales, although the Help pages suggest it takes up to two weeks for sales to show. I have no online presence apart from Amazon and a Goodreads page so I can be fairly sure that my sales during this time were all down to the Amazon Advertising Campaign. I managed 5 sales and about 3000 pages KENP read. The total cost of the Campaign was $17.76. Sales were $12.55. I am guessing that the KENP Royalties will push that close to break-even. If so, I think it was worth the effort (approx 12 hours). I'll post again when I have firm figures. I will look at Goodreads advertising next, followed by Facebook... and of course continue writing.
