$$ out from marketing vs $$ in

[BellaPippin]

I am working on a book/workbook and while I receive the samples and prepare the whole thing I’ve made it available as an ebook for $7.99. I am on Shopify and Amazon KDP (note: I cannot run ads on amazon because they don’t like my cover.. working on whether to change it or not)

I spent $80 on IG features on relevant accounts that have around 300k followers on average.
I spent $50 so far on Facebook ads (that also show on IG)

I made 7 sales in two days at 7.99 = 55.93 Never mind the fees bc I’m not even making a profit here.

Is this a “until the traffic is organic” situation or what am I doing wrong? The thing is programmed to request reviews at the week mark as well and so far I got one and two on Amazon, all 5 stars.
