An Introduction To Adwords – Does It Really Work?

The short answer is yes, marketing your business with Google Adwords really does work.

I guess you could say there’s a really big but there so Sir Mix A Lot would be happy.

Most, but not all, Adwords ebooks focus on two things; making money on Adwords by selling products as an affiliate or by selling the book you just bought that’s supposed to tell you how to make money using Adwords!

As for the second one, don’t waste your time.

There’s way too much competition jacking up the bid prices and you’re all selling the same product. Remember when Affiliate Project X launched?

When you searched certain keywords on the search engines, almost all the PPC ads were promoting Affiliate Project X.

How could you make a profit on a one off sale like that? You couldn’t.

The only person making money in that situation is the product owner.

The first one has gotten to be just about as difficult as the second.

So how the heck do you make money with Google Adwords?

Careful planning and having all your systems in place.

What do I mean by that?

For starters, don’t just look for a good product to sell.

Look for good products that are in the same niche that complement each other.

For example, a series of Golf instructional dvd’s – one on putting, one on chipping, one on long irons, one on driving, etc.

Then, instead of trying to make a profit off of your initial sale, try to get your visitors to optin to your email newsletter.

Before going live with Adwords, you’ll have a series of autoresponder messages that promote a variety of related products as an affiliate.

Once you go live with your campaign on Google Adwords you have to constantly test and track everything you do.

By doing this you’ll eventually be able to determine how much each visitor is worth to you.

When that’s done, you know exactly how much you can pay for each visitor and still enjoy a profit.
