You gotta spend $$$ to make $$$!

    I just was makign this to remind everyone here that... YOu have to spend some money to make some money. YOu cant expect to out of nowhere be making $5g's a month! Believe me though, $5g's is nto alot if you invest your money in ads the right way. I myself can invest say $2,000 into google adwords a month, but... That $2,000 multiplies into $6,000 by the end of the month. For anyoen new to this concept, you should try finding a affiliate program you like, then savign up a lil $$$ to spend on ads (say maybe $150 to start). Then once you recieve your affiliate link, advertise it on adwords using your money you saved. YOu will be making lots of money in no time, without even owning a website! Then next month maybe try putting in say $400 into ads. Just a thing I do myself and thought I should share.

    LAter!

    Nearly always better to put your hard earned cash into something more profitable like a website first, get a few websites happening that can generate you some good Adsense money, then reinvest that Adsense money into Advertising :)

    Is that even allowed? Redirecting people to affiliate pages via adwords?

    lol of course it is- the majority of the ads on adwords are affiliate links.

    It is possible to earn thousands a month without spending anything (except domain and hosting costs). But you are right, spending money on AdWords can definitely help you to make some serious cash. But you'll need to master it first.

    Many people who start out with AdWords loose money. So far I haven't had much luck with AdWords. I've spend 700EUR and only got about 140EUR profit.

    PPC programs like Google AdWords are pretty hard for beginners. You need to try out which affiliate programs work, how high you need to bid, which keywords work and which not, you'll need to do keyword research, ...

    Lots of money can be made with AdWords and affiliate programs - I know people who do - but it's possible you'll spend hundreds of dollars without making any profit.

    I did googles PPC and perhaps I bid to low. Got an E-mail saying that my account was inactive. I used words like fun, downline, MLM, money, hum had more but can't remember them.

    Didn't lose a whole lot of money. Bid 11 cents per click. And had like 2 clicks.

    Gee, I hope those keywords weren't all for the same ad!

    If so, no wonder...

    This is too true.

    About a year ago I had a PPC campaign setup. It had its ups and downs but overall it was making some money. However I lost my nerve and gave it up. :rolleyes:

    This year I have been trying a few different things and finding more success. I just determined how much I was willing to risk (loose) and gave it a shot. At first I was just watching it click away but eventually I found a good combination.

    When you are getting started you may just be losing money or have a mixture of good and bad days. If so keep very careful track of what is going on. See where you can improve. The more data you can analyze the better.

    Things can change fast so keep on top of it. Server outage is DEADLY.

    Anyway as far as PPC goes it can certainly make money but there is risk that has to be managed.

    When you start with Adwords or any advertising program you should know how much you should spend per click and how much you can spend per day and stick with it. The temptation might be to keep upping your price per click to get more traffic and then you get a server outage or payouts from that traffic drops and you can suddenly go from winning to losing. At the start you need to know your limits and watch things on a daily basis.

    I find it interesting to see people asking if it's legal to do Adwords and Adsense on the same page or site while Google advertises Adwords on the Adsense home page. I guess Google thinks it's legit.

    One technical question...Do most of you build a small website to direct people to with...or just take people directly from clicking to the affiliates page?
