Michal Stawicki – Marketer

I run Amazon ads for authors who don't have time or headspace to do that by themselves. Dozens of satisfied customers and 250k+ copies sold.

Overview

Amazon ads expert

I'm a lifelong reader turned author (19 books out there, ~100,000 copies sold) turned book marketer.

I self-published my first book in May 2013, but I had no big successes till I started advertising my books on Amazon in September 2016. Ads easily 5x-ed my book sales, and tripled my net royalties.

I had suffered from a mild depression back then and one of my biggest life regrets is that I didn't zoom in on my ads right from the beginning, when it was sooooo easy (I could've 100x-ed my sales, *sigh*).

At least, I started helping other authors to increase their book sales (since 2017). I worked with dozens of authors from various genres. I advertised on Amazon hundreds of books, and helped to sell over 250,000 copies of them.

Nowadays, I own a small advertising agency (the team of 8), specialized in ads for nonfiction books.

Part of our process is optimizing the book's page before we start ads, so I can help you with that as well.

✅ WHAT I CAN OFFER YOU:

ADS:

• The Discovery Service:

I'll tell you what Amazon thinks of your book, and recommend what to do with Amazon ads - AFTER running my ads for some time, so those recommendations will be based on actual data

• Laser-Targeted Campaigns:

Basically, we will run ads for you, hands-off

• Drip Campaigns:

A lot of low-bid, practically random campaigns, designed to provide a steady trickle of sales every single month

• 1:1 Coaching:

I'll teach you to be rich... ehem, whatever I know about Amazon ads after running ads for hundreds books and selling 250,000+ copies

NONFICTION BOOK BLURBS:

• Amazon Book Page Optimization:

How to prepare your book's page before you start running the ads (individual, per-book recommendations)

• A Book Blurb:

We will write the whole book description for you, optimized for converting visitors into readers

✖️ WHAT I CAN'T OFFER YOU:

• Anything else - we are specialized in Amazon ads, so no FB ads, no gimmicky marketing campaigns, social media campaigns... nothing, nada, zero.

Michal knows his stuff. He is narrowly focused and knows his area. And I like that. He responded quickly to me. He gave me insight on my ad programs and what was working and not working. He was exactly who I was looking for.

I'm dealing with marketing, but I'm not a marketer. I'm an advertiser. Market positioning? I don't even know what that means. It connotes with building a brand. Amazon ads may be used for this, but it is a costly endeavor. Basically, you target the books you want your book to be connoted with...
