 Hi, boys. Thanks for coming in today. We're really excited to have you here. Thank you for having us. We're nervous. Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous. You have nothing to be worried about. So what are your names? My name is Christian. Mine is Rasmus. And you're twins? Yes, we are twins. Oh, wow. You guys are twins. Yes, that's amazing. We're going to love you. And how old are you? 23 years old. Yeah, we're 23 years old. 23? That is a juicy age. So tell me, where are you from? We're from New Jersey. New Jersey? That's my favorite place. Really? Yeah, I love Jersey boys. What are we doing today? We're going to talk about AMS ads and books. Yeah. Advertising for your Kindle books. I want this to be an awareness video about AMS ads. And how amazing AMS ads are. Because we've been neglecting them for so long. We've only been talking about audiobooks and all that. But we're officially back focusing on e-books and figure out books. Not focusing so much, but with AMS ads. Giving them more attention than we had. 100%. This is something that we've learned recently. We want to crunch the numbers and show you from our joint publishing account the success and the numbers we've been having. So we are going to be putting more focus and attention on the e-book and Pirabek side of our publishing business again. And it's purely because of AMS ads. Which is now known as Amazon Advertising. Not alcohol is anonymous, but Amazon Advertising. So as you could tell, this is not our normal setup by any means. Like where are we? Where the fuck are we? We're at an Airbnb in Florence, Italy. Yeah, because we're traveling around. We've been quickly... Let's go a quick run through where we've been. We're in Santorini in the last video. We've been three places since Santorini. We have? Yes, we have. So Milan, Italy. True. And now we're in Florence, Italy. I guess we're road tripping Italy right now. Next we're going to Rome, Italy. I don't want to say the place we're going to after that. You just see a video. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hence though, we're coming to Africa. Can we say that? We're coming to Africa. Sure. We can say that. Next week. I just want to say it's been super hard to film videos. That's what really bothered me a lot. That's what I was leading to the point with the whole traveling is our upload frequency has been shit recently by our standards. Shit. We did every other day for five months straight and then we launched the course and we're like, okay, we cannot keep up with this because we got so much more than just YouTube going on. We got our other business that we're building. So then we were going to, then we were doing two off, one on as in a video every three days. And we can definitely keep up with that except for when we're traveling like we are right now. So just bear with us when we're setting up a trip. It's going to be back to a lot of epic shit. Yeah. So once we settle down in Bali, which is on November 4th, and then it's going to come through. Please. First, it'll come through. Secondly, it'll take like a week to probably settle down, get our villa, get set up, get rooted. That's the word. Yes. Yes. Found the word. Rooted. Rooted in Bali. And then uploads are going to be normal again. And then eventually we want to up them even more. But yeah. So I wanted to say that quickly. We have not been following the upload schedule, which pisses me off because we don't do that. That's unlike us. It just has not been possible. It's literally not been fucking possible. Like we're filming this now, uploading it later today because we need to come out with something. We're moving around. There's not time to even work. I know you want to say something, but I need to continue saying that I haven't been able to work at all. I can't even kill a phasing message. Shit, man. Can't work. And it's stressing me out. In two weeks we'll be in Bali. And then back to grind mode. Back to operation, blow the fuck up and get rich. Okay. Oh, before we get into the Amazon advertising stuff that we talk about. Oh, right. That's what this video is about. Yeah, that's what this video is about. We have to say subscribe to the channel if you're not very subscribed because we always get to do this shit. Like, can you just like the video? Can you pronounce this stuff better? You're saying it so fast. You're right. I am. Subscribe to the channel. Like the video. Oh man, speaking of, we get lots of dislikes now. We got haters. We must be doing something right. We got haters. And they're definitely watching this video. It's funny. I know you like to leave those dislikes. But leave the like, just because I don't care. Okay, in the video. Yeah, in the video let's talk about these AMS ads. So we're going to go into a screen share. Yeah, let's go into a screen share. Let's just show the progress that we've been having. Okay, let's do that. Inside the account. All right. Go. The numbers for the last 30 days. One Saturday KDP account. Yellow is ebook. Gray is paperback book. And we actually just realized right now today is October 24th. We started our joint account exactly one month ago. On the dot. That's a lie. One day and one day. The 23rd. So this is a one month of results. And how many books do we have out? So we have five. And we just came out with a bunch this morning. They're publishing our manager. So this is from five books. Right. Five books. So this is like a mini road to 10 K update, except not really. You're just going to see some of the numbers, which reminds me. Road to 10 K episode two. We were going to film it today. Yeah, but like filming here so hard. Okay, I'll look at these. I don't talk about these. So if you notice in the beginning, we were actually doing it kind of better than we were now. Right. So I know what happened. I want to briefly tell you what happened. So numbers were, we've been good sales here. And then we had the idea to try to raise all of our prices to 499. We keep our paperbacks at 1995, which we like. So we raised it to 499. So I was thinking maybe I thought maybe it will cause more sales, right? Or more money at least. So that was around here that I changed that. And then once we did that, look at this. Sales really stopped. I was thinking, I really care about his paperback sales. It even slowed down paperback sales. Yeah. So I think when you change your ebook price to 499, you're not ranking as well. I thought we would rank higher because Amazon makes more money at it. Because they sell a more expensive book. So I think it lowered the rankings of all our books. Which reminds me to say, none of our books have any reviews. This is really important. No reviews. We do not do review swaps on this account. No review swaps. We put it up and we run AMMS ads. That's the only way we're really... Wait, did we mention that before that... You understand here, I think, to be in. Did we say that publishing, our publishing business are now all about audiobooks and AMMS ads? Yeah, we said that. Okay. I want to stress it again. So yeah, that's one thing we're going to talk way more about AMMS ads. Because that's the point of this video. AMMS ads awareness. So this super slow period was when we were at 499. And I was like, okay, failed experiment. So go back to 299. And then... Look, numbers came back. Went up again. So we just experimented that for you. Now you know, don't do 499. Please do do 299 for your e-books. Still, they're weaker here than they were in the beginning. We don't know why. We'll figure out why. That's just the nature of the business. It goes up and down. We'll figure out why. And then if you look here... So we do not put anything on KDP select. Because we don't like to do that. We'd rather put on a drastic digital and publish drive. So why do we even have any pages read? There are some that, I guess, aren't KDP selected when they're not supposed to be. That's an accident, I think. Shit. But these are our royalties. This is what people care about. And honestly, in one month... In one month. In one month. I mean... Our e-books... Our e-books... This is not without e-books. I just realized... Our e-book in Peruvac is already over $1,000. Yeah. In the first month. In the first month. Oh wait, I forgot. This is without ad spend. I know. Which we're going to get to. But it was not that crazy. Yeah, so... But like, we do have audiobook sales. But this video is not about that. Yeah. That's for the Roads of 10K. So, check out those numbers. I want to say we're getting the numbers. But we'll do that in the Roads of 10K. Okay, wait. What I want to do... Can we just put up the screenshot of the Amazon ads results? So they can see the numbers. Okay. Put it up there. I want to do it. Take it down. Okay. So, mine's bigger and better. Okay. So, we're just going to have that sit there on the screen. And look at those numbers. Great numbers. Juicy numbers. We're not going to go into these tabs. Yeah. We're going to go into that quickly. Okay. This is an AMS ads awareness video. Let's turn it back into that. But we just want to read the update here. All right. So, we're inside. This is the Amazon advertising US. So, there's UK, US, and there's Canada. Wait. Honestly, different platforms. Oh yeah. That's nothing we have to say. We've run ads on UK. Yeah. We've made more profit on Amazon ads.UK than US. And it's probably because everyone does the US. And people are neglecting the UK. Yeah. So, although our ACOS is, as you can see, our ACOS is way better in US than UK. So, that, I wonder why that is. I wonder why that is. Well, we just get a shitload of impressions in UK. So, honestly, do we have anything to show here? You can look at the numbers. Yeah. Individually. Look at the ACOS. Those are insane. Look at the ACOS. That said, let's say, two plugs coming up, both courtesy of our boy Marko, if you're watching this, I hope you are. Because Marko Man, I used to know this. Yeah, yeah. Natasha, you too. First, if you want to learn how to run AMS ads, Marko does have a course about it. AMS ads profit formula. Is that what you call it? It's like the Holy Bible of AMS ads. Hi. Hello. Yeah. Yeah, that course is the Holy Bible for AMS ads. That is the only thing you ever need, right? So, what does it cost now? I think it's $4.97. Yeah. Something like that. I'm just saying it's totally worth it, but I don't want to get into that. So, actually, what we're doing, I've taken it, I've gone through it. It gets the mix and twins stamp of approval. But we actually got it, and we're going to be giving it to our account manager to learn how to run the AMS ads himself. Let's say that real quick. Account manager for a whole publishing business. You should already know that if you've seen all the videos. Yes. So, that's point number one, because this is an AMS ads awareness video. You want to learn, okay, shit, now I know how great they are. How do I apply that? Get that course. We're not experts enough or have enough any sort of AMS ads background to actually show you how to do it. Get a course and get Marko's course. But if you don't want to get a course and learn it yourself, what do you do? Marko is coming out with an AMS ad agency. So, I don't know if it's launching today or this week. Soon. Very soon. So, we've kind of been like beta testers for it, if you want to call it that. So, that's how we got these results. Marko's who set up these ads for us. That's how that A cost, 9%, which is insane. I could never do that myself. Marko did that for us. So, basically you sign up and he runs ads for you. Well, I don't know if he does. His agency does. And then they have like a one-time set of fee and then a monthly recurring fee. Not a monthly recurring fee if you want to continue managing your books. I don't want to say the price right now. I don't know if they are. It could change. But I think that's that. Link in the description to both of those things. The AMS ads course and the service that's coming out. Let's just summarize real quick. You need to do AMS ads right now. Right now. Audi books plus AMS ads equals money. And same with us. We just learned this now. So, Marko let us be beta testers and then it basically opened our eyes and made us realize how much money we're leaving out on that table. This reminds me of the conversation we recently had. How to publish books that never fail. AMS ads. Yes, yes, yes. Do we have that video idea right now? Yeah, we do. Because that's the video we're making. How to publish books that never fail. You can literally publish every book we will publish now on is going to make profit every single time. Yes. What the hell with AMS ads? At this point, we won't stop talking. Let's stop talking. Okay, magic emoji of the day. I'm always the one that chooses it. Okay. So you choose it. I want that. Something that's applicable to this. Honestly? Honestly? Honestly? The money face emoji. Because that's what this video is. Money coming out of his mouth and his ears. Spending out. But yeah, okay. That's the end of this video. Drop those down below. And sorry for the lack of upload frequency. That's just what it is right now. But once we get to Bali, we can settle it down. Then it's going to be back to pumping out videos, operation blow the fuck up, resumes. And thanks for watching. All right, see ya.
