Paper Tiger | Picking 240 keywords to run Amazon Ads for my book | Paper Tiger at Work (14 Sep 2021 Livestream) @PaperTigerProductions | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 59 minutes ago.
My marketing skills are level 0 so I'm working my way through the free Amazon ads course by Dave Chesson (of @Kindlepreneur fame): → kindlepreneur.com/ams-book-advertising-course
// THIS WEEK'S AGENDA
1. Selecting keywords for Amazon Ads
If you want to join me, the pre-work is all of Part 1, Part 2 and Parts 3.1 and 3.2. I'll be working on Part 3.3 during the livestream. According to Dave, I need at least 200 keywords, so I fully expect it to take me the entire livestream to finish.
Spoilers: woo! Finished the stream early, with about 240 keywords picked out in an hour and 20 mins or so. This was definitely a tedious but necessary exercise, because I can definitely see how just investing a little bit of time is going to pay off.
What's nice about this part of the course is you don't need to have purchased Publisher Rocket to do this part. Publisher Rocket does seem to make the process a little bit faster, but the output it generates with the AMS search function doesn't seem to be as targeted as doing this manually (which I guess is why Dave recommends you do this manually to start).
Also I just noticed that I forgot to update the stream overlays with what I'm working on. Oops. Sorry! I'll fix that for next time.

Writing the book was hard. Revising is harder and marketing is the hardest of all. That's why I've decided to start streaming every Tuesday 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM AEST so I'll actually get stuff done. BYO work or just come hang out and chat with me while I do self-published author stuff. Head over to youtube.com/c/PaperTigerProductions and make sure you hit "Set notification" to get an alert when I go live.
