The Fire TV Self-Service Advertising console allows you to create and manage ad campaigns on Fire TV.

By promoting your app, you can reach a large base of engaged customers– to date, there have been more than 200 million Fire TV devices sold around the world. Your ads can appear in the “Sponsored: Apps and Games” tile on the home screen and as a screensaver on Fire TV. Enhanced targeting features will ensure your ads reach the right audiences.

Fire TV Self-Service Advertising is based on [cost-per-click](https://advertising.amazon.com/library/guides/cost-per-click) (CPC), there is no minimum amount you need to spend so you pay only when customers click your ads. Choose your own bids and budget, and pause or start your campaign at any time to align with your spending goals.

The only requirements are:

- Have [a live Fire TV app](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/fire-tv/getting-started-developing-apps-and-games.html?cmp=US_CON_DEV-amazonappdev&ch=soc&chlast=soc&pub=devto&publast=devto&type=org&typelast=org) on the Amazon Appstore
- [Register your payment information](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/reports-promo/payments-understand.html?cmp=US_CON_DEV-amazonappdev&ch=soc&chlast=soc&pub=devto&publast=devto&type=org&typelast=org) on your account
- Make sure you have [administrator status](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/app-submission/manage-account-and-permissions.html?cmp=US_CON_DEV-amazonappdev&ch=soc&chlast=soc&pub=devto&publast=devto&type=org&typelast=org) (the owner of the account automatically has this)

To access the console, an **administrator** of your account should go to **Apps & Services** \> **Promotions.**

**Sponsored tiles** are ad placements within a row which allow promotion of content titles and apps in Fire TV. Viewers can scroll down to the sponsored row using the remote on Fire TV.

**Sponsored screensaver** is a full-screen ad placement integrated with the original landscape image screensaver experience on Fire TV. After a period of inactivity, Fire TV shows a screensaver that is led by full screen promotional images. Each image shows for 30 seconds. Customers can view more details of the ad by pressing the Play or Pause button on their remote controls.

For screensaver, you’ll need to upload your background image, choose the content title style, and your provider.

Next you’ll provide your [bid amount](https://advertising.amazon.com/library/guides/cost-per-click) (CPC for sponsored tiles or Cost Per Thousand (CPM) for screensaver) and targeting (if available in your region). The default bid amount is determined by your marketplace.
