My Amazon Ad Spend
Amazon ads are the only marketing channel I use to promote my books and get sales. This is one of the best ways to generate sales, especially for newly released books.
Here is what I spent on Amazon ads last month to generate sales and book royalties:
I spent a total of $309.35 on ads, which brought me 132 orders and over $1,368 in book sales.
- Total Ad Spend: $309.35
- Orders from Ads: 132
- Total Sales Generated: $1,368+
Next, comes the net profit % ROI…
Net Profit & ROI
Here are my net profits for the month of August:
Total Income: $614.54
Ad Spend: $309.35
Net Income/Profit: $305.19
That means I made over $305 in profit with around a 50% profit margin.
Put another way: every time I spend $100 on ads, I get back about $200 in royalties — or $100 in profit. That’s a pretty solid ROI in my books.

Overall, August was a great month with steady sales and a healthy return on ad spend.
I plan to keep testing, scaling, and sharing my results as I grow my KDP portfolio.
