RICARDO'S Story
Welcome to my Amazon Advertising course! Over the past decade, I've worked one-on-one with countless authors, across a wide variety of genres, to help them make the most of Amazon's advertising platform.
This course is the combination of that. I will teach you everything that I learn, and condense my personal experience into practical, actionable lessons that you can use to set up your first ads, or improve your existing ones, right away.
I firmly believe that Amazon Advertising is still one of the best marketing avenues for authors, and I hope this course will show how to harness them to their maximum potential.
Rachel Mclean
CRIME
Rachel McLean’s rise to success is a remarkable example of how strategic marketing can transform an author's career. Best known for her Dorset Crime series, which has sold over a million copies, Rachel’s breakthrough came after winning the 2021 Kindle Storyteller Award for The Corfe Castle Murders. Before that, she was only selling a few books a day.
Her turning point came when she took the "Amazon Ads for Authors" and "Facebook Ads for Authors" courses. By applying what she learned, Rachel crafted a winning strategy: using Facebook ads to boost her book launches and Amazon ads to maintain steady sales afterward. This approach has turned her into a full-time, award-winning bestselling author, with five successful series and a growing fanbase.
Marc Reklau
Non-Fiction
Do Amazon Ads work for Non-Fiction Authors?
​
The easiest way to answer is to simply point at Marc Reklau. Before taking Amazon Ads for Authors, his self-help titles weren’t selling quite as well as he wanted. Afterwards his sales skyrocketed, and these days Marc’s books earn him five-figures every month.
Marc mostly runs Amazon ads, using laser-targeted keywords and phrases to put his books in front of people searching for the exact topics he writes about. And it’s not just the Amazon Ads for Authors course that’s helped him, either – the shared experience of everyone in our exclusive Facebook community was invaluable, too.
