As many of you have heard, advertising your book on Amazon's Book Advertisement system, formerly known as AMS, has become one the best ways for authors to get their book discovered and even thrive in a crowded Amazon market.

Through AMS, you can now choose when and where you want your book to show up on Amazon – anywhere in search results or even next to another book on their own sales page.  Plus, unlike Facebook ads or Google Adwords, in Amazon's book advertisement system, you're advertising your book to people who are ready to buy and are looking for their next book.

You don't have to be a marketing genius to figure out that that is the BEST time to get your book in front of them.

Can Amazon Ads Help Authors Sell More Books?

Can get getting your book in front of the right buyers help you sell more books?

Then yes! Most definitely. But it takes a little bit of work and analytics.

But, if you'd like to learn more about other authors and their AMS adventures, then check out the below case studies.  Each one consists of examples or tactics that an author employed with AMS and their results (And let me remind you, most of the authors below haven't taken any course, they just gave it a try – but you have access to my free course):

• A Kindlepreneur Case Study by Michal Stawicki: Undeniable results, but with good words of wisdom.
• A Full Report on AMS Ads by Harald at KBoards: Yeah, I know, it's a forum.  However, Harald (who if I ever meet him I owe him some coffee) went above and beyond chronicling his AMS books advertisement results.  Definitely worth a read!
• Christoph of Authentic Story Telling and his experience: Short but more about his ‘why' and his results.
