    Since AdWords is a PPC product you have to pay for the clicks you get. My suggestion is to read as much as you can before you start and then set a very low daily budget initially. Just know that most people will lose some money before they figure it all out and start running successful campaigns.

    From what ive read about adwords coupons their maybe not the best thing to use.

    Maybe ive misread but ive noticed people having their accounts shut down for using them, but i imagine thats people setting up a fresh account everytime they use another coupon, which naturally would annoy google.

    No offense intended, but if you can't come up with 5 bucks of your own, you are definitely not financially ready to start playing with adwords

    Do you have your own domains? access to your own hosting? concentrate on this first.

    BBP,

    $5 wont allow you to learn anything meaningful. Set yourself a budget of $50 and have a real go. But if you're in a competitive market category beware of average cost per click charges.

    Do you intend on linking directly to the merchant or to a landing page first?

    you'll need even more than $50, if you want to experiment different ways
    if you do it right, it will return to you in sales, so don't waste your time looking for promotions
