Thank you very much, Dr. Travis. I started selling on Amazon just 6 months ago, and I was very stressed out about handling my advertisement since I spent almost 200% of my sales during the first 2-3 months. Then I found your videos and they helped me understand the very basics of Amazon PPC. I must admit that after watching your videos 4 months ago, I was able to control my Account-wise ACoS & I now have pretty much everything under control. Though I am not an expert, I do know how to explore the bigger things with Amazon PPC. As I watch & learn from your videos, I am still gaining a lot of knowledge. Thank you very much
@@ProfitablePineapplethanks for sharing Dr. Tavis. I watched it last week and am currently integrating it into my business strategy. Once again, it's a highly practical, actionable, and easy-to-understand guide, which is very helpful.🙂
Hey, Dr. T. - Thank you for taking the time to produce this for the rest of us, very generous of you. I learned a ton and implementing right now. I also appreciate you openly sharing your setbacks, it helps to be reminded we all have them. BTW, you mentioned a "high" CVR several times. A CVR of 10% or more is considered "good," what do you consider "high"?
Thanks Dr. Such a great video. Ironically, the most critical of all this parts, the part 5, is pretty lame !! Probably you should cover that topic again in another video, please..
Lots of good stuff, but as someone just learning Amazon FBA, WITH a strong digital marketing background, there is a lot to digest. Melissa, while clearly very bright, makes this look incredibly complicated and honestly makes me dread getting into the PPC building.
I have used 2 agencies for 16 months for my skin care line on Amazon. Spending $30k a month on PPC with both agencies (who both have VERY successful companies and results with mulitple verticals) - neither could get skin care, again at $30k+ a month PPC spend, over $.6 ROAS. First agency for 12 months was also $5k a month for their "service" and the other was a smaller more specialized group at $2k a month. Searching for my next agency now and its the same ol pitch... quite frustrating.

Agencies tend to have a lot of different account and employees working. With that ROAS you probably need better listing, price and reviews coupled with effective PPC without wasting.
Enjoyed the course. Very helpful a lot of useful tips. I'm currently running my PPC trying to get a product settled in to a profitable spot. The conversion rate for the product overall in terms of the PPC data is about 15% which seems to be good enough to get into a profitable position. Particularly when you consider that the conversion rate is based on a price that is relatively high compared to the competitors. I start off with placement percentages set pretty high and bids at about the suggested bid. TACOS starts off about 35-40% above the break even point but the campaign is spending a lot of money overall. The sales are solid though about 25 units a day. So I start to dial things back slowly. Start dialing the placement percentages back a bit. Not by a lot I do this slowly. After a certain point, it's like the sales just drop off a cliff. Almost like the visibility just plummeted. All of a sudden I'm hoping to get 5-6 sales a day. Perhaps I should just let it run at the 75% TACOS settings for a week or two and incrementally adjust based on CPA from there?
This tells me you're in a competitive category that costs a lot and you don't have any organic rank. You need to push advertising to increase your organic rank which will then decrease your tacos and make you more profitable. Also start pushing Google ad traffic as well ruclips.net/user/live5tfl6K2KhfY?si=QY-tQYfSidtq0ySU
@@ProfitablePineapple Ok great thanks for the advice. Love your videos. I was dialing it back slowly and everything was going fine. Solid sales rate about 25-30 units a day at a relatively high price. Then once I lowered it past a certain point the sales just effectively disappeared. Before lowering past this threshold the TACOS was like 56%. My breakeven is around 44%. Conversion rate has averaged about 15% overall for all campaigns. Once the sales fell off the cliff, I quickly turned the bids and placement percentages back up to where they were and now it's back to a high sales rate (since 12 PM today have already sold 8 units for example). Based on the advice in your videos and what you just mentioned, I think what I'll do is obviously don't drop the bids and placements to where the sales go off the cliff. In that case. This will be the 3rd day in a row selling at the 25-30 units a day rate, so I think the organic rate is still climbing I'm guessing it will take a week or a bit longer selling consistently at this rate for the Amazon system to really put my organic positions at higher spots. I'm also not going to touch the PPC settings at least for the next week. After a week or so, I'll have a better sense what is costing me money while also not driving sales and decreasing TACOS. Those keywords/campaigns I can dial back without being so concerned about the "falling off the cliff". For keywords/campaigns that according to the book or according to your principles I should technically try and dial back a bit, I'll be much more careful to make sure these don't fall off the cliff because I may want to keep them for driving TACOS down. I can't do anything right now because I feel like I don't have enough reliable data. But with enough reliable data I'm thinking I should be able to get the TACOS to a profitable position by eliminating what is costing money and not making sales and by also towing that "off the cliff" line as much as I can for keyword that are helping with profit. Once it's in a profitable position, I'll start building up the review numbers which should increase the conversion rate and perhaps bring some of the old keywords back into play that initially I had to eliminate. And I'll check out the Google Ads video you sent. Thanks for that. I've taken a lot of courses on Google Ads so starting to get more comfortable with it. I'm assuming the conversion rates on Google Ads will be lower than Amazon PPC but I guess the CPCs will also be a bit lower which kind of evens things out. Is that an accurate statement?
That is accurate. Gaining organic rank can also takes months to years in some categories. Keep pushing as long as you can as long as your organic sales continue to increase and your tacos continues to decrease.
@@ProfitablePineapple Dr. Zigler one more quick follow up question on everything discussed above if that's ok. Just trying to get a feel for some nuances that I don't think many courses go into because it's too fine of detail. I started at my new price so kind of started PPC on my product afresh last Friday. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday sales were solid about 15% conversion rate average about 25-30 a day. This product has about 40 campaigns created for it (mixture of single keyword campaigns, auto, 5 keywords per campaign, etc.). Total Friday through Saturday, there were 64 total orders associated with PPC. Two campaigns had ACOS above 115% with 6 orders in one and 4 in the other. So it seemed to be high ACOS campaigns not driving too many sales. I know three days is not the most data but I thought I would dial just those two back a bit. But everything else was left exactly the same. Today, there have only been 3 total sales (organic + PPC) with 28 clicks and 2 orders on the PPC. But gut is telling me that this is just how it goes if I just let it sit the sales should start coming back as normal. Is that how it goes? Random days will just be slow and low converting? Should I bring those two campaigns I adjusted back up to normal aggressiveness and wait to have at least a week of data before making any adjustments?

@@ProfitablePineapple Thank you so much. I learned so much today. Now to put Chapters 1 & 2 into action. I have already applied to work with you guys Thank you in advance
Thank you very much for your hard work, Dr. Travis. I have one concern: Chapter 7 is very blurry, and I cannot see anything. Is there a way to fix that?
There is no set rule. 1. Find high converting keyword 2. Put high converting keyword into a single keyword exact match ad campaign to scale 3. Do over and over again. The more campaigns. The more scale
It doesn't work so nicely when you have a product which is too generic, when it comes to KWs. Your products are very specific, but imagine, you are selling a ceiling led lamp, a simple one. So basically, all you have to work with is: flat led ceiling lamp round. You may have also power like 18W, light temperature, and the diameter, but that's often it. Of course, you will still have more generic words and KWs or additional ones that are not an exact match, so the end list can still be huge. However, imagine that you are not converting well on KWs like "ceiling lamp", "ceiling led lamp", "flat led lamp", "flat ceiling lamp" etc. This becomes a very high problem. Competition has good prices and huge amount of reviews, so basically it's hard to compete. Ideally, you would never choose this product, but companies do have such products and want to sell them everywhere and make profit. There is often no ways to distinguish yourself, your PPC budget is not high and competition is strong - it's a though situation. Sure, it is still possible to sell some, but the ACoS will be high and profits very low. It's also very hard to distinguish between browse and buy KWs. Also, negatives are hard. For example, someone is searching for "wood lamp" and buying your plastic ceiling lamp that has no decorative, wooden elements. It happens a lot. People are browsing various, loosely related terms, but in the end decide to buy something else. Relevant KWs are not converting well for us (only for top competitors), while rest KWs becomes a very blurry group that is not converting well, or when it is, it changes over time, so one time it converts highly, other badly. Sometimes, such generic items may become a hit, because so many people are looking for them, even with high competition, but if you are new, the situation is very unstable, meaning that sometimes it sells well, sometimes not. It's easy to fall off the "visibility bracket" when you are too small. Still, the course is great, but it doesn't solve all problems ;).
Hello Dr. T. Thank you for your videos, I am writing to let you know that the title is not automatically available for people who speak Spanish, do you think you can fix it please? thank you
Hey Dr. Travis! Thanks for all the knowledge you share! Love learning from you! I am working with a client and I would like to hear your opinion and maybe do some 1:1 sessions. Can I reach out to you? Thanks!
Hi Travis, these videos have been incredibly helpful and we have begun implementing many of your recommendations. Would you be able to audit our account? Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much for the detailed course❤. I have one doubt, for the discovery campaigns (Board, Phrase and Auto) how many clicks is that max that we can keep as a limit before we should disable that keyword to stop spending more. Because there can be cases when we are spending money on a keyword that may be not relevant to the customers or we don't have much reviews compared to our competitors, right? consider I'm creating these campaigns using Amazon suggested keywords list.
Great video! When mining for top KWs from reports, and then creating single KW campaigns, what do you do with the old campaigns? Keep them running or pause?
Great video. On the topic of inventory management, I have the ability to send both fbm and fba. You mentioned to never run out of inventory, as you risk losing your placement this way. Do you see a way to manage this by converting fba to fbm while waiting for fba to replenish?
Thank you so much, Dr. Zigler! This is incredibly helpful. I am launching a new brand and product. Is this the best starting point to get to the 50k/month mark to begin working with your agency? I am starting ten exact match campaigns now. I ended up with over 200 negative phrases and negative exact keywords. Is that too many to add to each campaign? When do I transition to using broad campaigns to discover new keywords?
Way too many negatives. This is the exact way to get to $10k/month to the join our coaching program. profitablepineapplefarm.com/ If you have budget launch a few broad keywords right away along with an auto. Upload those negatives to the broad and auto campaigns immediately
Maybe I misunderstood but it looks like you added negative keywords to your exact KW campaign. Why would you need to do that if you’ve limited it to exact keywords?
if we are spending ppc on a particular keyword and its conversion is high it means we are also organically ranked. is there a manual or thirdparty software way to check organic ranking of asin on amazon. so we can confirm its organically ranked?
If you have A+’content, when you say add keywords on the backend, would you suggest just dumping all keywords in a nonsensical way just dumped out comma delimited into the description field so that all keywords are covered and will never be seen by customer?
A Lot of the video around 1 hours to 1.45 hours is blurred. First I thought it was a internet issue but its only happening in your video ,, would be grateful if you could fix it .
Hello Travis, thanks a lot for such an insightful video! I agree that this deep dive is 100% better than any paid course out there! I do have a few questions though: 1. For KW research, when choosing which KW to keep/remove, do you keep KW that are kind of related to your product? For example, let's say I'm selling stuffed animals, a dog and a cat that both have their own listings. When filtering the keywords for the cat, would I remove all keywords related to dog stuffed animals and any other stuffed animal that is not a cat? Or would I keep them since the cat is still a "stuffed animal". 2. When getting the keywords from my top competitors, I always get a list of over 10,000 keywords (I'm using Helium10, so the process might be different). How do you go through that many keywords to filter out the ones that don't relate to your product and then attribute them their category out of the 4 mentioned? It seems wayyyy too long to do this by hand... 3. In chapter 5, when looking at the reports for the keywords to see if we should launch them in their own campaign, I don't quite understand what campaigns these come from prior to that step. Should we do broad and auto campaigns first with a bunch of keywords, let them run for 60 days and then take action based on the reports and the steps mentioned in chapter 5? Basically, I have a hard time understanding how to set up the initial campaigns (even after rechecking chapter 1 multiple times :)) to be able to analyze them afterwards (where chapter 1 starts basically).
2. That is why I don't use Helium 10 anymore and instead use ZonGuru, because the relevance is MUCH better and narrows your keyword list saving you hours of time. Get 20% off for Life: zonguru.link/PA20 (affiliate link)
When I was watching, you said you give a 50% sign up discount when people sign up for subscribe and save. How do you set that up? I’m seeing the highest discount I can give is 10%.
Why I run ads product but my page product is not show word "Sponsored". I tried running another campaign again but it still doesn't work. For more than 2 weeks now I've been running automatic ads but haven't received any clicks. Can you help me with this problem, thank you very much.
Hey Sarah, thank you for your question. Start here in my free PPC Masterclass. This should answer your questions: profitable-pineapples-ppc-farm.circle.so/c/2024-amazon-ppc-masterclass/?preview=true
If you have a lower concerning keyword that is profitable over time and doesn’t hurt your budget, would it be better to just turn those off because it hurts your overall conversion or should I just leave all well alone because it’s not hurting anything? Ie, is having a lower converting KW a net negative to overall organic ranking?
Hey I have a question about the review automator. I thought that Amazon already did that automatically and that doing it with another software might lead to some kind of issue with them. Am I wrong?
Follow your passion and build a brand around a person and solving a problem instead of focusing on products. When yo solve a problem and serve a person it doesn't matter what the product is.
Dude says never run out of stock, in my first launch i eas out of stock for 3 months straight... Don't know ehicu wall to smash my head in. Btw not running out of stock is very crucial since it really screws up with your visibility and ranking algorithm.

This does happen. So your 80/20 is to double down on what's working which is applying these concepts to SB campaigns
Hey Dr. Travis! Thanks for all the knowledge you share! Love learning from you! I am working with a client and I would like to hear your opinion and maybe do some 1:1 sessions. Can I reach out to you? Thanks!

So is the max cpa you calculated solely based on the max margin you have on a particular product? Or is there other data you use?
Max CPA = Profit
Sales Price - Amazon Fees - COGS = Profit/Max CPA
Legit! Thanks Travis
Happy to help!

Thank you so much for the detailed course❤.
I have one doubt, for the discovery campaigns (Board, Phrase and Auto) how many clicks is that max that we can keep as a limit before we should disable that keyword to stop spending more. Because there can be cases when we are spending money on a keyword that may be not relevant to the customers or we don't have much reviews compared to our competitors, right? consider I'm creating these campaigns using Amazon suggested keywords list.
This depends on your conversion rate. But around 15-25 clicks and no orders
Thanks for reply❤
Great video! When mining for top KWs from reports, and then creating single KW campaigns, what do you do with the old campaigns? Keep them running or pause?
Keep them running!
Great video. On the topic of inventory management, I have the ability to send both fbm and fba. You mentioned to never run out of inventory, as you risk losing your placement this way. Do you see a way to manage this by converting fba to fbm while waiting for fba to replenish?
You can do that or keep both fbm and fba listings active at all times.
Thank you so much, Dr. Zigler! This is incredibly helpful. I am launching a new brand and product. Is this the best starting point to get to the 50k/month mark to begin working with your agency? I am starting ten exact match campaigns now. I ended up with over 200 negative phrases and negative exact keywords. Is that too many to add to each campaign? When do I transition to using broad campaigns to discover new keywords?
Way too many negatives.
This is the exact way to get to $10k/month to the join our coaching program.

If you have budget launch a few broad keywords right away along with an auto.
Upload those negatives to the broad and auto campaigns immediately
@@ProfitablePineapple Great! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching 🍍🍍
Maybe I misunderstood but it looks like you added negative keywords to your exact KW campaign. Why would you need to do that if you’ve limited it to exact keywords?
Only to broad, auto, and phrase
@@ProfitablePineapplethanks for clarifying! Chapter 1 showed fixed fee campaign with the addition of negative additions so it confused me.
@@ProfitablePineapple just to clarify. You definitely use dynamic bids down on an exact match campaign or was that also an error in the video? Thanks
That's correct @@jumpinjak801
if we are spending ppc on a particular keyword and its conversion is high it means we are also organically ranked. is there a manual or thirdparty software way to check organic ranking of asin on amazon. so we can confirm its organically ranked?
I recommend Zonguru

If you have A+’content, when you say add keywords on the backend, would you suggest just dumping all keywords in a nonsensical way just dumped out comma delimited into the description field so that all keywords are covered and will never be seen by customer?
We keyword stuff, but make sure it makes sense
A Lot of the video around 1 hours to 1.45 hours is blurred. First I thought it was a internet issue but its only happening in your video ,, would be grateful if you could fix it .
Yes we are working on fixing this now
Subscribe and look for a re-release in July
@@ProfitablePineapple Thanks... done... its really useful information
Hello Travis, thanks a lot for such an insightful video! I agree that this deep dive is 100% better than any paid course out there! I do have a few questions though:
1. For KW research, when choosing which KW to keep/remove, do you keep KW that are kind of related to your product? For example, let's say I'm selling stuffed animals, a dog and a cat that both have their own listings. When filtering the keywords for the cat, would I remove all keywords related to dog stuffed animals and any other stuffed animal that is not a cat? Or would I keep them since the cat is still a "stuffed animal".
2. When getting the keywords from my top competitors, I always get a list of over 10,000 keywords (I'm using Helium10, so the process might be different). How do you go through that many keywords to filter out the ones that don't relate to your product and then attribute them their category out of the 4 mentioned? It seems wayyyy too long to do this by hand...
3. In chapter 5, when looking at the reports for the keywords to see if we should launch them in their own campaign, I don't quite understand what campaigns these come from prior to that step. Should we do broad and auto campaigns first with a bunch of keywords, let them run for 60 days and then take action based on the reports and the steps mentioned in chapter 5? Basically, I have a hard time understanding how to set up the initial campaigns (even after rechecking chapter 1 multiple times :)) to be able to analyze them afterwards (where chapter 1 starts basically).
1. For the cat stuffed animal I would eliminate all keywords for other animals such as dog, fish, bear, teddy, etc...
2. That is why I don't use Helium 10 anymore and instead use ZonGuru, because the relevance is MUCH better and narrows your keyword list saving you hours of time.

3. This is from your current campaigns (whatever you are running), but yes this will be from broad, auto, and phrase campaigns mostly.
The way you teach is amazing!!!!

Can you profitably use Amazon PPC to sell Kindle books?
That's tough.
Use the book to sell something in the backend
Hey Travis, does your masterclass cover Kindle ads?
You can use this strategy for Kindle
@@ProfitablePineapple Thank you, Travis!
How come you put in negative keywords in an exact match campaign?
We don't. I think that was just showing how to put them in
When I was watching, you said you give a 50% sign up discount when people sign up for subscribe and save. How do you set that up? I’m seeing the highest discount I can give is 10%.
It is a coupon specifically for subscribe and save. Go to the coupons section
the Master class gets blurry after chapter 6
We're fixing it up now. Should be re-released in July
Bonjour, avez vous la traduction en francais svp
We do not... Sorry
hello hope your doing well . i sell 105$ product in amazon but the acos come 106% spend 110$ what should i do . i sell product in generic ,
You are not calculating it correctly.
It should be equal to your profit margin
Why I run ads product but my page product is not show word "Sponsored". I tried running another campaign again but it still doesn't work. For more than 2 weeks now I've been running automatic ads but haven't received any clicks. Can you help me with this problem, thank you very much.

Sorry about that. We did this live. We'll probably Re-release it with better quality.

Hello Travis, where can I get the Google document from 3:09:50
That is the written sop in our course on circle. profitable-pineapples-ppc-farm.circle.so/c/2024-amazon-ppc-masterclass/sections/165080/lessons/613779
If you have a lower concerning keyword that is profitable over time and doesn’t hurt your budget, would it be better to just turn those off because it hurts your overall conversion or should I just leave all well alone because it’s not hurting anything? Ie, is having a lower converting KW a net negative to overall organic ranking?
If it's making more than 3 sales a month I'd leave it running (provided the ACOS isn't much over 100%
Hey I have a question about the review automator. I thought that Amazon already did that automatically and that doing it with another software might lead to some kind of issue with them. Am I wrong?
I would never rely on Amazon to do it.
This is pressing a button in Amazon to request a review and not sending them an email. 🍍🍍

wow
Double wow... What's up?
Dude says never run out of stock, in my first launch i eas out of stock for 3 months straight... Don't know ehicu wall to smash my head in.
Btw not running out of stock is very crucial since it really screws up with your visibility and ranking algorithm.
We've both learned this the hard way... I've done it many times and will do it in the future.
@@ProfitablePineapple thanks for the video man! I'm just concerned about regaining my rankings and improving my ad spent, can't explain how much I'm bleeding and how high my acos is...
@@alisheikh3585 Follow the 80/20. Focus on ONLY the search terms and products that are making the majority of your revenue!
@@ProfitablePineapple thanks for the advice man, but I'm still really struggling and I've only left 6 campaigns active now and still my overall acos is 100%+.
I'm still running the campaigns to maintain ranking.
For first week of July, the auto and broad modifier have improved though
@@alisheikh3585check your listing, optimise it, check different price points, gain some reviews and optimise bids. ACOS will go down

Do you think Amazon ppc is easy? And can be explained in 30 minutes?
This course is useless since its impossible to hear and watch. Quality is terrible and a distraction. Worthless!

Hey Dr. Travis, love your content! I've emailed you about a potential collaboration-let's create something amazing together!
Thanks I'll check it out
why do you show us a "test dummy" account and not a real account so we can see realistic examples. I would literally let you use my account so its relevant and relatable.
It's a real account but not much data.
We're building up a new account right now and will rerecord all this.
Do you recommend using the zonguru ppc bid or amazons suggested bid?
For exact match we go on the high side of the recommended bid on Amazon or use the calculation we mention in chapter 5
So is the max cpa you calculated solely based on the max margin you have on a particular product? Or is there other data you use?
Max CPA = Profit
Sales Price - Amazon Fees - COGS = Profit/Max CPA
wow
Good wow? Bad wow? What's up?
