Well, you really do have to do both. Especially after leaving Facebook. But ads are not all the same. Bookbub is a good place to spend your money. Get a membership with IBPA and get a discount to upload to Netgalley for reviews you can use on covers. Blanket statements help no one.

All of this. I hate so much that I paid for an IBPA membership to get cheaper access to Netgalley and all they do is send me emails telling me to pay for their "how to use AI" courses.

This sort of bullshit makes me feel very dirty for having an IBPA membership. The discounts are nice (I don't have to worry about buying ISBNs for a while) and I don't mind at all that the vast majority of the material is geared to larger businesses.
Screenshot from a workshop description: IBPA acknowledges that there are many concerns with AI -- copyright and ethics; its impact on the environment; threats to human creativity, jobs, and so much more. At the same time, AI tools are being used in the publishing industry, and IBPA wants to provide education for publishers in a holistic way so that they can figure all this out, and determine if and how they want to proceed with the technology.

Designing Ad Auctions with Targeting Information
By Tunuguntla, Mela, Pratt
Digital advertising publishers sell ad inventory that conveys targeting information, such as demographic, contextual, or behavioral audience segments, to advertisers. While revealing this information improves ad relevance, it can reduce competition and lower auction revenues. To address this trade-off, we develop the Information-Bundling Position Auction (IBPA), a general auction mechanism for search and display advertising that leverages targeting information while preserving competition. The mechanism treats the realized audience segment as the publisher's private information. For a given advertiser, IBPA implements information bundling through mixed-bundle pricing over segments; across advertisers, it applies the marginal-revenue framework to allocate impressions and determine payments. We show that IBPA is Bayesian incentive compatible and individually rational: truthful bidding forms a Bayes--Nash equilibrium and advertisers receive non-negative expected utility from participation. Moreover, IBPA achieves at least 63% of the revenue of the optimal feasible mechanism and weakly dominates all scalar-bid disclosure mechanisms, including generalized second-price (GSP) auctions. The mechanism also resolves the trade-off between targeting precision and market thickness: publisher revenue is increasing in information granularity and decreasing in disclosure granularity. Using auction-level data from a large retail media platform, we estimate advertiser valuation distributions and simulate counterfactual outcomes. Relative to GSP, IBPA increases publisher revenue by 91%, allocation rate by 26pp, advertiser welfare by 62%, and total welfare by 79%.

I’ve never experienced receiving the actual evaluation forms judges fill out for books. But the IBPA Book Awards shares them, and it’s incredibly meaningful to read feedback from people who spend their lives immersed in books. Wanted to share! https://amzn.to/3Tq5poz
