#PublishingReinvented 175: Amazon TV Ads! + WSJ Drops Its Bestseller Lists + Writers' Journal Holiday Offer/Steal
If you do ads on Amazon you will have noticed the above banner in your dashboard.
Amazon is allowing advertisers to run ads through its dashboard to Amazon Prime Freevee and Twitch. Amazon is suggesting a 15 or 30 second video ad format. I reckon sci-fi will be a good test for this, romance too. Anyone want to put the Amazon ads on Prime Video or Twitch at the cost below per 1,000 impressions?
What this suggests to me is that Amazon ads is expanding its reach.
WSJ Drops It’s Bestseller Lists
The Wall Street Journal announced that they have discontinued their bestseller lists for books effectively immediately.
Source: Thanks to Publisher's Weekly for this update.
The Wall Street Journal bestseller lists were widely considered a top-tier list, which includes The New York Times and USA Today. The old days and ways are rapidly disappearing. I wonder if the number of people gaming the lists with bulk buying in specific bookstores was the reason.
