On any Amazon product page, the vast majority of links to other products are sponsored ads - meaning that if you're not advertising on Amazon, you're not visible on Amazon.
But Amazon ads are difficult to figure out - and while they can bring you a lot of sales if done properly, they can be money pit if not used correctly. This 4-part class (including a private one-on-one session to go over your ads) will bring you to the next level of understanding how to use, control and benefit from Amazon ads to help you dramatically increase sales.
This course is for any author interested in increasing their sales on Amazon through their ad platform, or who has tried using Amazon ads but has not found success with them.
Please note that to benefit from this course, you should be selling on an Amazon platform that allows ad access - Vendor Central, Advantage or KDP. Authors selling through Seller Central should not take this course.
This is an intensive, 4-part course is created to help you vastly improve your knowledge and command of Amazon ads:
