For any non USA citizen, when we get our royalties, we pay conversion charges on the amount and when we spend in Amazon ads, we again pay conversion charges, and in both the cases, some bank forex charges are also applied. So I was looking for a solution where I can keep my royalties in local account and pay via this one for ads, this way I can avoid double conversion charges. While searching about it online, I found out about Payoneer, according to AI mode of Google search, this saves 7-9% or transaction costs. So I am curious to know if anyone uses Payoneer or any similar service.

This is a very nice gift from Amazon – your book is sold at a discounted price, but you still receive full royalties. Of course, nobody can tell you for sure how to get it, but some ideas can help you a lot. The last two weeks, I conducted a few experiments to test some of the assumptions I had based on my previous experience. Let me share what I found. 1. Your book should ideally be new, and you need traction. In other words, if you published a book, actively promoted it, and sales are on the rise, it is highly likely you will have a price strike. 2. Do not hesitate to raise the price dramatically. In one instance, I increased the price from 12.95 to 49.95 and got the strike-through price. Yes, it's tempting to buy a few hundred of your own books in such a situation, because it would be profitable. But I do not think it's worth risking your account for a quick buck. 3. If you arrange an ads-heavy launch and strike-through price strategically, you can recoup a significant portion of your net losses during the days of your price strike. What is your experience with strike-through prices? Would you like to add something to my findings?

I hope the data in the screenshot answers this question well enough. This is just the 7th day of the campaign, and the conversion rate is more than 19%. Hear me correctly: I do not mean to say that reviews are not important. Quite the opposite, I am sure reviews are essential for success. But do not let the absence of reviews (yet) stop you from actively promoting your book.
