Easiest money I have ever made... (PPC)

[Talinn]

Hi Warriors,

As some of you know I have found some success with article marketing. But of course, I wanted to expand my horizons in IM, so I wanted to try something different.

So I decided to go with PPC. And it has been great - and so easy! Here is what I did:

1. Went to Clickbank, chose a product that seemed good converting.
2. Bought a .info domain for promotion.
3. Installed a Wordpress blog on that domain, wrote two posts and made a review blog.
4. Headed into Adwords keyword tool, typed in the general keyword about the niche, took the most popular searched 15 queries, and pasted them into Adwords campaign generation.
5. Set maximum CPC to 0.5 (estimated CPC was $2!)
6. Made a super simple ad (took 20 seconds)
7. Made a payment of $15

Went to sleep

8. Woke up, looked at the site: 50 visits, 40 hops, 2 sales: $80
9. ????
10. PROFIT!!! $65

It all took 10 minutes of work. And I might have just found a never ending way of making money.

If you are yet to make money from IM, never give up... It is really possible and not at all that difficult!

Cheers

First, Congratulations

Now I don't mean to dampen your enthusiasm but would just like to add a word for the newbies and others less experienced in PPC - These profits are possible, as can be read from the OP's post. Just be sensible (With how much you are willing to spend) and don't go ballistic right away!

[Talinn]

Yeah, of course. I sense that it is very easy to burn money with PPC. That's why I only paid $15

I'll second Kul's warning. Your mileage may vary. I would like to add too that you should put more time into creating a campaign. Ten minutes is not a lot. Managing client accounts, I typically spend twice that to research the product, keywords and create a couple of ads.

Do you mind if I ask, did you use a Wordpress theme specifically aimed at creating reviews, or did you use a generic theme and present the site more as an individual's blog rather than a "professional" setup?
