I am having a great deal of fun creating video ads under Visuals. @Andrey Bernhart I noticed there is now a 4th option, Cinematic Book Trailer. How does this one work? Do we upload the same items (A+ content, etc.) or is this created differently?

If anyone knows how to create just one QR code that directs readers to the 'leave a review' section of whichever Amazon marketplace they are in (eg: Australia, USA, UK, Canada) without having to create a QR code per marketplace, please would you share? Thank you!

Hi everyone, Thirteen days ago I posted here about my debut niche non‑fiction book Fueling the Night Shift being stuck at zero reviews. I wanted to circle back to share some really exciting news: I just received my first 5‑star Amazon review! This review came from Dr. @Cecily Wang — trauma surgeon, ICU physician, Doctors Without Borders humanitarian aid worker, artist, and author of No Crying in the Operating Room: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1662936850. She bought the Kindle edition of my book and took the time to leave honest feedback, saying she found the work practical. I cannot put into words how meaningful this moment is. To get validation from someone with real‑world front‑line night‑shift medical experience makes all the writing effort worthwhile. It is extra special to see this connection happen right inside this community. This space has given me so many actionable perspectives, thoughtful warnings and practical suggestions as a brand‑new KDP author. I’m deeply grateful for every person who chimed in on my original thread. To keep gathering genuine, unbiased reader feedback, I am offering a small number of free eBook copies in exchange for honest reviews. If you work night‑shift healthcare or this topic resonates with you, feel free to reach out. Book link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HC52ZHYT Thank you again to @Cecily Wang and to all of you for lifting up new self‑published authors.

Hi everyone, I’m A.x. Hale, happy to join the community. I’m brand-new to KDP self-publishing. I released my first nonfiction eBook, Fueling the Night Shift, on July 30, 2026. This book delivers tailored nutrition guidance exclusively for night shift workers, focusing on midnight sugar cravings, disrupted hunger hormones and sustainable shift-work eating habits. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HC52ZHYT Since launch, I’m seeing zero organic traffic, zero sales, and most importantly, zero reviews. Without any social proof, conversion is nearly impossible. I don’t have an existing email audience, and I’ve started building organic content on Pinterest and X to connect with my target readers, but progress is very slow. I want to stick strictly to Amazon’s TOS and avoid risky tactics that lead to removed reviews or account penalties. I’m curious to hear from other authors publishing tight niche nonfiction: What safe, long-term strategies did you use to land your first set of honest early reviews for a brand-new release with no pre-built audience? Are there specific ARC workflows or reader outreach approaches you found most effective for shift-worker / wellness niches? Thank you all for any insights you can share.

Is anyone here from the US who has experience using Meta Ads to find ARC/beta readers in order to get Amazon reviews? I’d love to connect and exchange ideas, as I’m based in Germany. To clarify: this is for high-content (non-fiction / guidebooks), not low-content.
