In my last post, I mentioned that Amazon giveaways are retiring. It looks like Amazon is going through an autumn cleaning phase, as it has now introduced something I’ve been itching to try for years: Sponsored Products in the UK and Germany.
Okay, since none of my books have been translated into German, it’s the UK that caught my eye. This is exciting news indeed, as it means I can finally reach a new market through my preferred means of advertising: Amazon Ads.
Until now it was only possible to advertise in the US. I love the news and hope that Sponsored Ads will soon be made available to all English-speaking countries, including Canada and Australia. Plus France, since Eaux Infinies is the only non-English book I have published so far!

I started my ads last week along with several other indie authors I know – a lot of people have really jumped on this as soon as it was offered to them. It seems they’re rolling out to new groups of authors every day, although I’m not sure how they’re organizing who gets invited first – might be how much an author has spent on Amazon Ads up to this point? I haven’t seen any sales yet personally (doing UK only) but I’ve been doing my due diligence adding keywords and trying out various bids to get them rolling. Right now my bids are probably too low but no Spend or Sales data has come in yet so I’m loathe to increase my bids until I see some data.
