I will manage amazon ads for crime and thriller authors


About this gig
I help indie crime, thriller, and noir authors improve visibility through focused Amazon Ads campaign setup and optimisation.
I only deal with the genres I know how they work and what is needed. So if your book is outside of the crime fiction world, sorry, but you will be better off looking for someone who understands that genre. Book marketing is very niche, and it needs to be specialised.
As an independent and traditionally published author myself, I understand how difficult it can be to stand out in a crowded marketplace. Amazon Ads can help, but not every book is ready for paid advertising. For that reason, I work selectively and provide honest feedback before any work begins, with the aim of helping authors avoid wasting money on ineffective campaigns.
Services include:
Amazon Ads setup
Keyword & competitor research
Product targeting
Campaign optimisation
Ad-readiness assessment
Blurb & category feedback
I focus on realistic strategy, long-term discoverability, and clear communication rather than unrealistic promises or guaranteed results.
Before placing an order, please message me to discuss your book, goals, and expectations.

FAQ
Do you guarantee book sales or bestseller results?
No. Amazon Ads can improve visibility and discoverability, but sales depend on factors such as cover quality, reviews, genre fit, pricing, and reader demand.
What genres do you work with?
I specialise in crime fiction, thriller, noir, mystery, detective fiction, and psychological suspense.
What ad budget do I need?
I generally recommend a minimum Amazon Ads budget of around $150 per month for meaningful campaign testing and optimisation.
Do I need reviews before running ads?
Ideally, yes. Books with professional covers, strong blurbs, and some reviews usually perform better with paid advertising.
Will you need access to my KDP account?
No. You keep full control of your account and advertising budget. You simply provide Amazon Ads account access so campaigns can be managed securely.
Can you help if my book is not ready for ads yet?
Yes. I can provide feedback on covers, blurbs, categories, and overall ad-readiness before campaigns begin.
