I've been looking into making money using AdSense and AdWords techniques. I've been researching this for a few months now, and have probably put in fifty or sixty hours of research in. But I've found something interesting- you guys are a rather elite crowd, not too accommodating of newcomers. So I won't steal your traffic, promise, just let me in the in crowd, thank you very much. These forums, as well as others, seem to not help newbies at all, but rather help specific problems. Well, I have a very general problem- I've spent $60 and not made any. That means I lost $60. That sucks. But I realize that somehow you got started. How? I realize that there are many different methods of making money. I am not interested in selling products, and I would prefer to not do arbitrage, but if I have to, I have to. I have decided that pay per click is superior to pay per sale, because pay per sale is why I lost $60. ='( I have even resorted to downloading eBooks illegally, a few dozen of them actually. They taught me a little, but my $2,000 in cracked eBooks have been mostly useless. Where can I learn? Who will teach me? There must be someone. I don't care if this is a website or someone offering to coach me, I realize that having the advice of someone who has done it will get me money far more quickly than me blasting away money at campaigns and then evaluating why it didn't work. (I'm willing to give 20% of profit for four months, eh, eh?) All help appreciated, Ricky
I read the first fifteen pages in this and the Google AdWords forums. I also spent a few hours doing keyword searches. I found nothing particularly helpful, just little hints and tips for once you get your campaign running. If you know of any to get me off on the right foot, could you send a link my way?
