As author-publishers, our biggest challenge is getting our product in front of people we do not have a connection with. Amazon Market- ing Services is a simple and cost-effective solution to that problem.
On Friday, May 4, I published my first novel, called Brilliant, about a girl with an IQ of 206
who was searching for her father. She got an internship at the Hollywood studio that makes
the StarCruiser Brilliant movies. She finds out the Brilliant flies into space.
On March 25, I put the book on pre-sale and, due to the support of friends and family, sold 17 copies by April 21. On that day, I created a campaign on Amazon Marketing Services at ams.amazon.com (AMS).
Go to the AMS website under your Amazon login for identification as well as billing. If you are signed out, you will find helpful information and videos.
After signing in, you are offered the opportunity to start a New Campaign. You then receive two options. I have not had any luck with Product Display Ads, so select Sponsored Products.



5.0 out of 5 stars Positively Brilliant By Markis on May 4, 2018
Very entertaining read! I absolutely loved the basic premise and the many novel concepts used in the story.
We have all seen many examples of how movies and TV which are science fiction today become science fact tomorrow, so of course turning this on its head and using technology of tomorrow as the basis for making movies today made for a consistent and believable universe which was very entertaining and enjoyable to read.
Anyone who enjoys Laurence Dahners’ – Ell Donsaii stories will also love this story.
