Case Study: Amazon Book Launch – From Zero Sales to 40+ Units Sold in 60 Days

Background

In early 2025, The Digital Marketing Agency & Consulting Company LLC was approached by an aspiring author looking to launch his book on Amazon. Despite having a high-quality product, the client struggled with zero initial sales and minimal visibility on the platform. With a modest budget of $500 per month and only 60 days to generate traction, our agency, led by founder and CEO Mike Galindo, faced the challenge of turning an underperforming Amazon listing into a revenue-generating asset.

Goal

The primary goal was to generate consistent sales, increase visibility on Amazon, and optimize the client’s advertising spend to achieve profitability. Success would be measured by total book sales, customer reviews, and return on ad spend (ACOS).

Strategy and Implementation

The Digital Marketing Agency & Consulting Company LLC implemented a multi-layered strategy focusing on branding, marketing optimization, and data-driven decision-making:

• Branding and Positioning: Developed a compelling book brand identity that clearly communicated the unique value proposition to potential readers. This included optimizing the book cover, description, and author profile to establish credibility and trust.

• Market Segmentation: Conducted detailed market research to identify key audience segments most likely to purchase the book, enabling precise targeting in Amazon advertising campaigns.

• Review Generation: Implemented strategies to encourage authentic customer reviews, boosting social proof and improving algorithmic ranking.

• A/B Split Testing: Tested multiple ad creatives, headlines, and targeting strategies to determine the most effective combinations for driving clicks and conversions.

• Advertising Optimization: Managed the client’s Amazon ad campaigns to reduce ACOS below 50%, ensuring efficient use of the $500/month budget while maximizing sales.

Results

Within 60 days of implementing the campaign, the client saw transformative results:

• Book Sales: From zero to over 40 units sold.

• Advertising Efficiency: Achieved an ACOS of less than 50%, maximizing ROI on a limited budget.

• Customer Satisfaction: The client expressed high satisfaction with the agency’s work, stating:

“Mike is a very fantastic human being, I was expecting his guidance but I got way far more than I expected. He provided a series of advices and recommendations. And sure as he asked me to proceed, my results were fantastic with my marketing program. Thank you, I highly recommend The Digital Marketing Agency, they are just superb.”
