Key takeaways
Utilize crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo as marketing channels, not just funding sources, but be prepared for upfront marketing investment (e.g., $25-30k in Facebook ads for 60 days).

Adopt a long-term perspective (60-90 days) for Amazon PPC data analysis to uncover hidden trends, wasteful spend (e.g., keywords with high ACoS and low conversions over time), and product-specific performance issues often missed in shorter-term reviews.
Regularly audit PPC auto campaigns for remnant traffic and negative keywords to address increasing spend with stagnant sales, and consider removing underperforming products from campaigns to improve overall efficiency.
