    Hey Azoogle Masters,

    I'm fairly new in the PPC game and I guess alot of people would also love to learn about this... to the Azoogle experts...

    If you are to start all over again... with only a $200 google adwords voucher as your last money (but you still have the basic skills of CPA marketing) can you give us a step-by-step process on how you're going to market using azoogle?


    All the best,

    FJ

    My step-by-step guide?

    1. Peruse through the offers and pick 1 that might have potential
    2. Do some market research on that niche/industry to see if there actually is potential. If there is potential, go to step 3. If not, go back to step 1.
    3. Keyword research
    4. Build a landing page (if I decide to use one)
    5. Create my PPC campaign
    6. Monitor the campaign for 3 days
    7. If it is close to breaking even, breaks even, or profits, keep it and tweak it. If it's nowhere close to breaking even, trash it.
    8. Back to step 1

    You asked for a step-by-step guide, and that's it...I assume you were actually looking for more detailed information, but honestly, that's asking a bit much for one single thread ;)

    Everything you need to know to get started is already in these forums somewhere, and the best way to really learn is to go ahead and start.

    good list but you left off a few things.

    Peruse through the offers and pick 1 that might have potential ( i would hit up my am and ask him what is converting well and was just released recently, not been running for a year or 6 months)
    Market Research (if you see other ads for the offer pushing to affiliate page, they are making money so you can to)

    Keyword research (use adwords tool, DP tool, Yahoo tool)
    on the PPC side Bid a little high it is free money if you lose it so what atleast you know your ad was shown promenantly and not in the bottom of the page.

    There is some of my 2 cents.

    break your keywords into highly targeted groups... don't mass add hundreds of unrelated keywords into an adgroup and expect results...

    i love all the posts for step by step guides recently, like it's some magic formula that always works. chances are you will lose your $200 voucher doing research, and then some. that's the name of the game.
