Strategies for Marketing on Amazon?

[TheDillon__]

Hey all!

A few weeks ago, I released my first book on Amazon . I'm pulling the numbers below so far.

• #625 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Business & Money > Business Life > Time Management
• #763 in Books > Self-Help > Time Management
• #1234 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Business & Money > Business Life > Personal Success

I've only managed ~3 sales/week up to this point, and I'm thinking of boosting that with a test run on Amazon Marketing.

However - I'm concerned about the ad placement with sponsored products. Is it worth paying to get listed on the rock bottom of the first page? How niche should I be when choosing keywords?

Or are there more lucrative advantages to using Product Display Ads?

What's your experience with Amazon Marketing for your books?

Thanks!
