This seems like a perfect update to help me fix a specific problem. I have a great performing series that did super well in the past that hasn't been doing anything the past couple of years, in no small part because I've completely neglected my ads. I've been dreading going back in and doing new ads for everything, but this should make things so much easier. Thanks Dave.
Looks good and have just started trying it ... but when I got to the setup step of 'adding books which are similar to yours', a couple of trad published ones I tried got an error saying 'Hmm, looks like the ASIN you entered was not valid'. However, rocket had no problem adding indie titles. Are traditionally published books off limits to the software, or is there something else going on here?
Started trying it too. When using it for the German Market I had the problem that it does not recognize correct German ASINS. However when switching to USA Market it does recognize the German ASINS. Hopefully this will be improve 🙂..really looking forward to the new features to come like Reverse ASIN & "The 7 KDP Keywords Automator".
Great idea and looking forward to using it. however when copying an asin and trying to paste into the book field it is not working. I would be happy to be a tester bfore your next release😊
Hi Dave, can you use publisher rocket for other products besides books? What happens when you put a nonbook ASIN in? Is there keyword information that would benefit?
Thank you sooo much dave for this amazing update 🎉🎉 i want know if we should run multiple compains with small groups of keywords or using a large list of keywords in one compain ?
Thank you, but the program keeps hanging when is gets to the collecting data phase. Three attempts from scratch always end the same. I even waited 10 minutes , but the orange circle just kept spinning and spinning. Let me know when you fix it please.
This is absolutely awesome, Dave. Thank you so much. I had to stop my ads as suddenly my costs went through the roof (eg £5 PCM to £60 PCM) for no reason I could see. So this has got to help things out.
But alas, it appears that there are no other books similar to mine so it doesn't work for me. :( Which is the issue - I AM the actuarial humour market - there is no-one else in my niche.
This is all great, but I have Rocket on a Chromebook and I can't use this feature. I also don't have the possibility of using it on a different computer, since I have only chromebooks. When can I expect to enjoy this feature same as the others?
My publisher rocket updated, but somehow just broke doing analysis. Please do a version for spanish language marketplaces. I don't know why they don't allow ads for amazon MX. I'm afraid I get nothing running ads on USA with a scifi series in spanish. Anyway, THANK YOU!
Excited to test. I've put in ASIN and ticked comp books and am waiting for the rocket to launch. How long does the data take to prepare? My rocket has been stuck on the launch pad for ten minutes.
Hi Dave. This feature is not working for me. I am directly copying the ASIN number from Amazon and pasting it into the new ads feature on Publisher Rocket and every time I do so, it says the ASIN number I have entered is invalid. I have checked to see if I am on the latest version of the software and I believe I am. At the time of writing this comment, the latest version is 2.0.90, which is what I am using. How can I fix this issue?
For others looking to use on Android, I used Chrome remote desktop to be able to work on my laptop from my galaxy tablet. Little clunky, but I needed the portability. Publisher Rocket was still smooth through the remote access.
loving the new feature, was wondering is it possible to have more than 2 projects with the ad feature? if those data are stored locally on our computer. having more than 2 projects will help us keep track with new competitors' book 3:10. anyways, i watched bunch of videos about the making the excel list and search for ads, which i think that is super time consuming and never have the motivation to do that, but thank god for the new feature, thats exactly what my lazy ass needs :P i'm so happy about this~! here are some suggestion. 1)more than 2 projects 2)book cover in the "book targets" and "category best seller targets" and "comparable author targets", and how many stars they have (I'm not super familiar with the ads but product targeting we are suppose to target the books that are doing quite well, right? so seeing their rating and probably sales would help me choose the book targets better without having to jumping back and forth between amazon website and rocket?)
We'll keep that in mind. However, it isn't about storage. When you save a campaign, rocket will go through and update all the information over time. So, if someone has say 30 books stored, that means our system has to work to pull and update and send over 30 books worth...which will over load our system.
@@Kindlepreneur totally understandable :) btw, was wondering the 2.0 class after i clicked enroll, it didn't show up in my account, is it merge to the 1.0 as additional lessons? but i don't see anything update lessons tho. maybe is bugged? thanks for answering. cheers~ :)
@@rachellaiyl Yeah, instead of deleting the old course, and making a new one (thus making people have to resign up that already had signed up for the old), we just deleted the lessons in the first one, and added the new updated lessons in it. So, entering in your old one, you should see the new lessons.

@@Kindlepreneur So, you want to tell me that it is my clock's fault, that your tool is not working? Btw, my computer is on internet time server. I just tried it again and it is not working with any ASIN.
@@siegal82 I appreciate you, but there is no need for such a response. I'm just trying to help. The clock thing is no joke...we have solved many people's issue with the ASIN with the clock change. But it appears that this isn't the situation you are running into (assuming you followed the instructions that were sent). If that is the case, then be sure to contact Publisher Rocket's support and they can ask some more questions to figure out what the scenario is for your usage and see if they can help.
so far so good, but the Amazon ADS feature does not work for me. iam using ASIN but it returns in red letters always hmmm... sieht so aus als ob die von dir eingegebene ASIN ungültig ist. (hmmm... looks like your ASIN is not working) i even tried other peoples ASIN , also does not work. and i tried also ISBN (which of course did not work)
Just to check, are you getting the ASIN from teh german Amazon market, and then using Rocket in the german marketing? We've seen a couple of issues where someone got the german ASIN, but then used the US market in rocket. If it is German and German, then just give it a bit of time before trying. We have had a LOT of people use the german market and our resources weren't as dedicated to it, and so there is a lag. Sorry about that.
My publisher’s rocket isn’t working. The competition analyzer keeps saying “bummer! Hmm… Rocket is not seeing many related results for this keyword - try again with something more targeted” And when I insert my ASIN in Amazon ads, I get “hmm looks like the ASIN you entered is not valid”
Maybe I don't understand, but you didn't even bother to address how this would help with a book that doesn't already have keywords associated with it. What if the book has not been published yet? If this is only meant to fix what went wrong, after spending on ads, why not discuss that so that there is more clarity? Again, maybe I'm missing something? Please advise.
Hi Dave! As always THANKS for your wonderful work and support of indie authors. This is a very helpful tool for my Amazon ads and it worked great for me. Question, would you also suggest changing our backend keywords & categories in KDP given this new data?
It's still locking up for me, so I'll leave it for today. Keep having to add all the details over and over is tiresome. Really looking forward to seeing what it comes up with though.
Sorry about that. Due to everyone jumping on Rocket and using the Ads system, our servers are currently overloaded. If you give it an hour - it should be good. We've pulled in more resources to accommodate it. Sorry about that. Cheers,
If everyone was like you, Dave - what a wonderful world it would be. Thank you!
Awe shucks - that made my morning to read. Thanks :)

However, rocket had no problem adding indie titles. Are traditionally published books off limits to the software, or is there something else going on here?
Hmm, I am cruious about this too.
It definitely works on trad pub. Are you using an ASIN or an ISBN?
I double checked a couple, and yeah, using ASINs. B0779MP3BR, for example, returns to me with the error.
Thanks so much Dave! You're the best!

Can you put ASIN into the keywords in Amazon Ads?
OMG. This is exactly what I needed help with. Looking at my book to see what would be most relevant.
Great tool and just what was needed. Thanks!
outstanding. Thank you. Love the copy and paste as I have a fear of spreadsheets
Haha...me too.
Thank you so much for the update! I can't wait to try it out.
SOOOOOOOOO looking forward to trying this tomorrow morning. Thanks Dave!
Hope you enjoy
Wow! This is fantastic, Dave! Really appreciate you keeping the author community up-to-date! 💯
Awesome and glad you like it :)
Just tried it a couple of times. Always gets stuck on "Preparing Data for Launch"
Currently we have a large amount of users on the system so its a bit overloaded. Sorry about that.
Wow, you mentioned your team was up to something new and boy did you guys deliver. So excited to try this. Updating my Rocket now. Thank so much!
Fantastic, thank you so much Dave. I can't wait to see what it can do.
Thanks, Dave. This makes my work so much easier!
Great to hear! And Same!
Thanks, Dave, for these awesome updates. I will be checking it out.
Hope you enjoy!

Wonderful!
Thanks Dave, this is amazing
This is fantastic. I can see that this will work when the old system hasn't I look forward to using it.
Awesome and enjoy!

This is amazing! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thanks Dave!
Thanks Dave! Great intel, but even thought PR says that it copied the keywords, it did not. There's nothing on my clipboard.
Thank you!
Awesome, Dave! Will we be able to do more than 2 ad projects at a time in the future?
Legend. Thank you, sir!
Awe shucks.
Complete game changer. Ok vacation this week so I will be getting on top of updating my Amazon Ads when I get back!!

Nope - its a free update for all owners :)
