How do I promote a self published comic on Amazon. I get a tip from a romance author.

How are you advertising your books on Amazon?

screenshot of two people talking on video

I ask Romance author KG Fletcher on my Art Podcast

Me: How are you doing the advertising (for your books). I know you said you were doing Amazon advertising...

Me: It's hard to make it something that doesn't cost a lot and actually gets clicks (that lead to sales).

"My biggest tip" for Amazon authors

KG responded by telling me:

KG Fletcher: So here is my biggest tip.

KG Fletcher: Any author that's looking to dabble in (Amazon) ads, you gotta take Bryan Cohen's Five-Day Amazon Ad Challenge. It's free.

KG Fletcher: He does it every quarter and it was a game-changer for me.

I was curious so I asked KG how many ads they were making to advertise their books.

KG Fletcher: I have over 200 amazon ads running right now.

Me: Oh wow! Impressive.

I wondered how much it costs to run that many ads for their books on Amazon.

KG Fletcher: And I pay less than $100 a month (for ads).

KG told me they make that money back plus much more in sales for their books.

I actually took Bryan Cohen's Amazon ad challenge after this conversation and I have to admit it did make a big difference for my comic books on Amazon KDP.

How I use one Gmail address for multiple Soundcloud accounts

Do you know the Gmail "+" trick to use one email for multiple accounts on one service? Here's a little trick I use that works for any service. I talked about this on the podcast episode I did with artist Mortimur K . In this case, let's say I used up all the uploads I have for my free Soundcloud account . With this trick, I can open a new free account and use the same Gmail address. I don't want to create another Gmail account to sign up again. Using my one Gmail address for multiple accounts on the same service I don't remember when I learned this but you can alter the name on a Gmail address. Like, let's say mine is "tom@gmail.com". To be clear that is not my email. I wish it was, but this is just a short example. Start with the original Gmail address Add a "+" after the email name Where it says "tom" on the address I can put a "+" after that. Add a "+" after the email name After that "+" I ca

Can I Buy And Resell Copies Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP?

There are two questions that I get asked about publishing my webcomic books on Amazon KDP . 1 - Can I Order A Print Copy Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP? When I started printing on Amazon KDP I also had that question. The reason I put the books together is I was just kind of doing it for myself. I could make a paperback version of my webcomic books and then I and my family could get a copy. It didn't even occur to me that I could actually start selling the book in public. I thought it was just print-on-demand and then maybe I could order one. But when I print a book on Amazon KDP I can also get up to 999 copies and sell it on my own! I was able to get my own copies from Amazon KDP sent to me. As the author, I can get them at printing cost . So they're at a discounted price. The option to order author copies is right in the KDP publishing setup. The button is next to the book in KDP. 👇 The other question I get about publishing my book on Amazon KDP... 2 - Can I Sell My A
