    For the first month of a new release, what amount of money should you be prepared to lose on amazon ads? I know this question needs more context but can you provide a rough estimate? Or maybe an example from one of your previous campaigns? Thank you, Dane.

    Thank you for not only being honest (it’s refreshing), and direct. It’s appreciated.

    Awesome vid Dane! I kind of have a little off-topic question tho. How do you keep everything organized? I mean the steps that are needed in publishing. I get that your course goes over all these steps but do you have some kind of step-by-step plan? Or is it just so easy for you because you’ve done it so often.

      The program contains a resource that is a Google Sheet that has the entire publishing process step by step... As you move along, you can check the box to show that you're ready to move on to the next step

      Yes, you have to create and format it offsite. Then upload.

    When you say: try a new cover, do you mean upload a duplicate ISBN listing with a new cover OR editing an existing book with a new cover look?

    Thanks Dane! About the first 30 days, what do you generally do when contacting influencers to promote the book? For example, do you buy your own book through Amazon and have it delivered to them, and pay them a certain fee for doing a post about it?

    • @DaneMcBeth
      @DaneMcBeth  2 года назад

      Yes, that would be exactly how you'd do it 👍🏼

      @@SunnyWinterz Higher. "How much does an influencer charge?" is kinda like "How much does a house cost?"
      How big? Where? Etc.
      There's the value of their "influence". The advertising cost. But also just their time.
      You want them to read it (1 hour? More?)
      Make the video. (Half hour? Two?)
      Plus "use their brand" for you.

    How long did you publish before you started learning ads?

    @adammr7097 2 года назад

    If you publish books from completely different categories. Do you publish them under a different pen name? Let's say gardening books under Sue Swan and finance as Ally McTee.

    When you reference a previous video, please include a link to it either embedded in the video or in the description. I really wanted to see your video on launching a book but none of the titles of your recent video's indicate which one. Don't make us hunt for something because they'll do what I'm about to do...go find a video on it somewhere else.

    • @DaneMcBeth

      Thanks for the suggestion Jeff, will make that happen in the future... My bad for forgetting. Here is my recent video on launching and ranking your books: ruclips.net/video/aDrzY_CFqBw/видео.html
