ACOS (Advertising Cost of Sale) Formula:
Product sells on Amazon: $20
Cost of Goods: $5
Amazon Fees: $5
Gross profit: $20 – $5 – $5 = $10
Margin = Breakeven ACOS = $10/$20 = 50%
Net profit Margin = Gross Profit Margin โ€“ ACOS
Example 30% ACOS
Net Profit Margin = 50% – 30% = 20%
Net Profit = 20% x $20 = $4

About Mina “The Egyptian Prescription” Elias

My name is Mina, and I am in immigrant from Egypt who came to America alone in search of a better life. I studied Chemical Engineering and Chemistry at the Univeristy of New Haven, Connecticut, and got my Masters in Industrial Engineering too. I graduated top of my class, and worked my way up the corporate ladder, but quickly realized that a 9-5 was modern day slavery. I started a supplement company because I am passionate about supplements and I am an MMA Fighter, so I wanted to make better supplements. I dove deep into Amazon and became a PPC expert, and I’ve made multiple millions selling on Amazon. The highlight of my career was when I was finally able to buy my parents a car. My goal is to teach you guys about Amazon PPC, because if you can do PPC well, you are definitely going to dominate. Oh – and NEVER QUIT. If you never quit, you will never fail.

What Dynamic Bidding Strategy works best?
Since the beginning of 2019, Amazon Advertising has three campaign bidding strategies for Sponsored Product Ads (SPA). In addition to fixed bids, there are two dynamic bidding strategies for their PPC ads which can be selected in Seller Central. Bids can be increased or decreased depending on the customer’s purchase probability. These are the strategies “Dynamic bids โ€“ down only” and “Dynamic bids โ€“ up and down”. There is also the option “Adjust bids by placement”, which replaces the former Bid+.
