Amazon's interest in the publishing world is growing as well as its presence in it. Its store as well as its self-publishing program are becoming more and more interesting for many authors. Now it will be even more so with the new service called Amazon Marketing Services.
This service is intended for certain authors and writers who meet a series of conditions and already is available to them through the self-publishing platform, KindleDirect Publishing.
Amazon Marketing Services is a platform of services that will advertise and publicize the ebooks that the writers have published on the Amazon platform in order to make it more attractive and closer to users. Thus, they will not only put it in the first positions of sale but it will also make it reach the small bookstore. All for a small price… and something more. Amazon Marketing Services can only be used in those books that are written in English and that comply with editorial standards and ideology. If these rules and policies are not followed, the ebook cannot be used with Amazon Marketing Services.
This service completes the Amazon catalog when it comes to ebook publishing, a catalog that makes Amazon a great option for novice writers or any established writer. However, it must be recognized that this amazon service is nothing new And many publishers already offer this, including the possibility of publishing on Amazon, a fact that many value positively.
I personally believe that Amazon Marketing Services is a plugin that Amazon should have created a long time ago. Writers are not experts in advertising nor do they have the time for it if they really want to write. Hence its importance. Hopefully such a service is effective, although fortunately there are other good options. Do not you think?
