Summary
Ads Manager lets authors target readers by interests and demographics and send clicks to a book's Amazon page, a landing page or a reader-magnet signup. Ads are bought in an auction with budgets you set, so there is no fixed price. It is a general advertising tool, not book-specific: Meta's pixel cannot run on Amazon product pages, so sales from ads that link straight to Amazon are hard to attribute, and ads for list-building are easier to measure.
Best for
- Building an email list or promoting a series starter to targeted readers
Pros
- Detailed interest and demographic targeting across Facebook and Instagram
- Budgets can start small and be paused at any time
Cons
- Hard to measure Amazon sales from ad clicks
- Learning curve; spend can be wasted without testing
