Is Your Amazon Ad Spend on Fire?đ„
You need to do this NOWđ§Żđ§âđ
Hey, heyâŠ
Today⊠weâre talking about you!!!
Yeah, you⊠âAmazon Creature.â
crea·ture /ËkrÄCHÉr/
(noun)
A being, especially one that is controlled by someone or something else.
Sound familiar?
Cause when it comes to your ad spend, Iâve got a sneaking suspicion youâre living up to that definition a little too well.
And whoâs that âsomeone elseâ??? â YOUR AD BUDGET!
Letâs get real, your ad budget got you wrapped around its little PPC fingers, like a puppet master.

Youâre supposed to be in charge, but if youâre not careful, Amazonâs gonna have you burning cash faster than you can say âPrime Day.â
Is Your Ad Spend Running You, or Are You Running It?
Hereâs the thing about ads: They love eating money. đčđž
If you donât pay attention theyâll devour your budget while giving you crumbs in return.
Youâll be sitting there wondering why your sales look so skinny and sad, while Amazonâs fat and happy, lighting cigars with your burning dollar bills.
So, whatâs it gonna be, /ËkrÄCHÉr/?
Are you the firefighterđ§âđ, or the pyromaniacđ„?
(And no, âbeing the pyromaniacâ isnât the edgy choiceâitâs the expensive one.)
So let me break it down for you and explain to you why is it you are BURNING so much money, and how to put out the fire.
The 3 main reasons your ad spend is a dumpster fire (and what to do about it).
Youâre Letting Bids Run Wild
You think bidding higher means winning? Nope. No señorâŠ
Without knowing which keywords are actually converting, youâre just overpaying.
Amazonâs algorithm isnât your buddy hereâitâs a capitalist pig that will gladly eat your money if you donât manage your bids properly.
So, are you bidding with data, or just throwing spaghetti at the wall?

No Budget Caps? Might As Well Hand Amazon Your Wallet
Iâll be blunt. If you donât have daily or monthly caps on your ads, youâre not scaling, youâre gambling.
You wouldnât hand a toddler your credit card, so why would you let your ad spend run around unsupervised?
Cap it. Control it. Or kiss it goodbye.
So, are you bidding with data, or just throwing spaghetti at the wall?
Scaling Ads â Dumping More Money Into Them (The rookiest mistake Iâve ever seen⊠and waaaay to often)
Did you think just throwing more cash at your ads would bring in more sales?
đ€Šââïžâ NOOOOO!
Scaling isnât about dumping more money into the machine and crossing your fingers (or hoping for the best).
Ads need to be optimized first, THEN⊠just then scaled.
Otherwise, youâre just speeding up how fast youâll burn through your budget.
How to Stop Being the Puppet, and Become the Master of your Ad Budget
Hereâs what you gotta do, take back control - ta-daaaaâŠ.
If you werenât expecting that⊠omg⊠weâve got work to do.
Data is king: Get comfortable with your ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sale), track those conversions, and kill the keywords that arenât performing (obviouslyyyyy).
Cap your spend: Set daily and monthly budgets that actually make sense for your margins. Donât let Amazon decide how much youâll spend. You decide.
Optimize, THEN scale: Fix whatâs broken in your ads before you start dumping more cash into them. Scale strategy, not just dollars.
So, lovely creature⊠youâre either managing your ad spend, or itâs managing you.
Ad spend can be your best friend or your worst enemy, itâs up to you to decide which.
Become a firefighter. Put out the flames. Control the chaos.
And if all this feels like trying to herd cats⊠Just talk to me!
Donât be shy and book a free 30-minute meeting with me, I donât bite, and I promise youâll get tons of value out of it.
Why would you wait until itâs too late?
