Amazon KDP ad Campaigns
There are some things we have to get clear now that you have your book done, It will need promotion to be read, for those little rich fishes, it would be not that hard, as you only need money and learn the basics about Ad campaigns to start getting sales.
But hear me out! Ad campaigns can be tricky, if you don’t have a good strategy and already know your main keywords to get close to your audience, you will waste chunks of money to get no sales.
My advice, start using ads only if you have a great book series, at least three books ready to get live, once per month, use social media to engage people, get some reviews, make giveaways in exchange for those reviews, then you can get into ads for your second and third book, or the whole series.

How long does it takes to make $1K monthly on kdp?
It will take three to four years and at least 5 books to earn $1k monthly income steadily, however, this depends on many factors I will list here:
Writing: Of course this has to be the first one, if you can’t write a good story, people will not buy your book, even if you have a great cover art, your book will get a lot of negative reviews and people will pass from buy it.
Editing: The editting process is quite a challenge for every author and can’t be taken lightly, you will find yourself paying the consequences for a bad edited book, so, if you are editting by yourself, do it carefully.
A great book cover: I mean, some authors tend to spend a lot of money on a good cover, made by experts, but then, they make a lot of sales, so maybe spending $500 on a good cover is not that much if you end up making $1k/ day, don’t underestimate the power of traction a good cover has.
Promoting: I will use this part and put it away from Ad campaigns, when I talk about promoting, I refer to social media, every interaction counts here, try to engage your audience with content, don’t send links to go and buy your books, people hate that, dont’ ask for anything, just create content, interact with your audience and you will earn they trust and eventually they will buy your stuff.
Tiktok: has become a great social media platform for authors, you may want to create videos and use the right Hashtags to reach your audience, and that’s where Tiktok shines, a lot of people are already looking for the Hashtags here, plus, if you get an influecer to review you book you may get a lot of sales quickly.

Pinterest: Using Pinterest is easy, if you use a good tool to make pins, it’s time consuming, but, its a great platform to get traction and drive your audience to your work. of course Pinterest have their own ad promotion, but you will not need it at the beginning.
Ad campaigns: I recommend spending on Ads once you have at least a three book series, or five non related books, writing books in series is recommend though, but then you may want to start spending at least $10/day on ads, this will be a starting point, once you make sales you will be increasing your Ads Budget.
