Kindle Vella January Update
Month 6, I thought I started the New Year off strong but it’s time for a strategy change.
I’ve ended the month with a total of 82 reads! 40 of them we’re locked episodes. Which was all very exciting to see as it was unfolding in real time, but now that we’ve received our bonuses I’m frankly…disappointed.
My bonus amount resulted in…$144 and some change. Less than the $184 I received in december, which is my highest bonus to date, and I’ll show you why and why the month of January was very bittersweet for me.
January started off pretty strong. I had two instagram ads running that ran for all of January and they got decent traffick.
One was running for $150( my regular story ad) and the other $180 (Announcing the season 1 finale for my story Dead Queen).
I don’t focus on how many likes the posts get, I mostly judge if an ad is doing good by how many people are bookmarking it and saving it on their phones for later, sharing it with other people, and tapping on it to go to the kindle vella website. That’s the kind of traffick I want.
More so actionable engagement. These indicates more to me how many people are actually willing or setting the intention to go check out the story.
