I agree. If you don't want to use your own money upfront a great way to earn start up is to use squidoo. write one good lens a day and promote it, should earn you a couple hundred bucks within a month.
better yet, just hang out on DP for a while and pick up some tips and advise. I never read a single guide (ebook) and am doing just fine. Just have to get over the fact they you will end up losing money at first. But you get the hang of it eventually.
good input domainiac, assuming from all these responsives maybe even too good, or maybe they just don't spend enough time in the adwords threads. either way, I'll help out a little with your guys question. Why 7-1 these are peak hours for US, this doesnt work for uk austrilia etc.. when your campaigns are good i recommend go all the way 7-11 on a converting keyword. I think what he meant is put BUY in the ad. This way all the people looking for freebies will get lost. The only problem with this, is it hurts your ctr, and possibly quality score. but this is budget campaigning 101. unfortunately cpc is something thats difficult to go cheap on, because higher positions are usually better. 2 cents
Why has nobody mentioned the google top search list yet? Like you can see what people are searching for and buy ads for those items. Many product sites also do this.
2cents from me - most of the time, you will end up paying more than you will get back if you use broad KW (i.e. pay $50 to Adwords, receive $10 commission for referral/sale). So don't use single word broad KW, unless if you have tested it and it's paying well. Hope this helps!
I may doubt if a "Buy" at the front of "money making online book",I will have both "money making online book" and "Buy money making online book"?
