  1. Thank you so much for all your awesome tips! Love the podcast.

    My question is about BookBub ads. What’s a good CTR? And do you think that number varies across genres?

      Hey, Samantha!

      I believe David Gaughran recommends shooting for at least 2% CTR when you’re doing their CPM bidding. If you search for his name on your podcast app, you should find a few interviews he’s done in the last year with more details on Bookbub ads. And we’ll see if we can get him to join us for a future episode too.

      Thanks for listening!
