I spent $99 on a Good Reads contest and got 4,000 people looking at my book and interested in buying but I have not seen any of those sales happen! It's weird, right?
So, Carlos, I’m going to say this and another post just made my day. Despite difficulty breathing without an iron lung pumped by two bounding kangaroos disguised as blood-sucking dropbears, I managed to laugh for both. Wait a minute, that’s me coughing. Bugger me, that’s close enough, I suppose.
Seriously, you have brought some illumination to a dismal rainy morning. Thanks heaps, mate.
And yes, there is some inspiration there too, for which I’m also thankful.
Oh man, I went down the Amazon ads rabbit hole for my book for a while and sold some books but the math didn't add up in my favor, but I do think there is something to the refining/gathering data thing. And also I told myself that it was exposing some people to the book and maybe they would come back to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In any event, thanks for shouting out the challenge and for providing a great prompt!
Seems like the AMZN ads were significantly more effective as well -- perhaps not surprising since you can buy the book directly inside the web store. More importantly, in the battle of evil vs. evil, Bezos is always the right bet.
Hoping you triangulate to some needle-moving promotions soon!
Edit: By the way, finally left a review on Amazon. Sorry it took so long!
I love this, so helpful, and also I am happy to spearhead a letter writing campaign to Facebook. Either you get that 200 bucks back or they put a Carlos-Shaped Spoilers billboard in the metaverse.

I loved your prompt on Julie's humor challenge.
For what it's worth, my partner worked as a social media manager for years and he was constantly infuriated by Facebook ads being suspiciously scammy.

Hmmm… How can we get you to have a book signing appearance at Book People here in Austin?
