Amazon Ads Specialist & KDP Publisher
About
I've spent years inside the Amazon Ads dashboard, not as a consultant watching from the outside, but as a publisher with real books, real budgets, and real skin in the game. I started selling on KDP and quickly realized that manual bid management doesn't scale. Every adjustment is a guess and every report is a rabbit hole.
That frustration led me to build Essentia. I wanted a tool that would automate the tedious parts: bid optimization, ACOS tracking, keyword research. Something I could rely on so I could focus on what actually matters, which is publishing better books and reaching more readers.
Today I help KDP authors and self-publishers apply the same systems I use myself. Not theory. Not generic Amazon Ads tips. Real workflows, tested on live accounts, with measurable results.
On this blog I share everything I've learned: from setting up your first Sponsored Products campaign to scaling a multi-title catalog with automated bid rules. If you publish on Amazon, this is for you.
