I have 1000.00$ Advertising Budget Tp Start PPC.Help!

[pheonix44]

I'm about ready to take my business to the next level and start paying for traffic. I have 1000 dollars or 100 dollars a day to spend. Can someone recommend for me the best way to start using this money to minimize risk or tell me a good starter PPC course? Thanks

OK, so you want help getting to the NEXT level, but you didn't explain what level you are currently on.

Also, you want to do PPC for 10 days then stop until you get money to start again, or do you have your own product and will be getting paid intermediately?

Just wondering.

What kind of traffic do you want (adult / non-adult, what's your target audience, etc.), and as the previous poster said, what level are you at, where do you want to go?

I pretty much can bank this everyday, but I would not even start if I felt I would just be throwing money away. I learned a long time ago that research is the best way to give yourself at least the assurance you'll get most of your investment back. Right now with free marketing efforts I average about 100.00 a day. My goal is to make 200 a day.My market is adults across various niches. I was looking into product creation and have been studing it for a while now.

Why don't you start away with Google adwords its also one of good ppc program.

actually I bought two courses in the wso section that I like alot. One was a list of 45 paid traffic sources. I figured I would use some of these to test out some of my ads before I go into the bigger networks.

Don't focus on 45 paid sources, focus on one (Adwords is 60% of the paid market). There's enough traffic to fill your budget, just be smart about keyword selection. Go after the long tail keyphrases and you'll be cheaper traffic.

If it's too expensive (ie high Cost-Per-Click rates) then go to Yahoo or MSN/Bing (combined, they are 30% of the market)

Don't waste your time managing dozens of networks, spend that time improving your product and customer support, testing your offer, etc.

Not managing them just testing them. The small networks give me the ability to test before going strong with a campaign.

I recommend you pick up the Definitive Guide To Adwods by Perry Marshall if you want to learn all the basics of adwords. You also might want to start with Adcenter or Yahoo, so you can get your feet wet, and scale up from there.

You need to provide us with a few more details such as niche since your budget could be used up VERY quickly.

You said 1000 or 100, ermmm which one will it be?

I would suggest that you start with AdWords first since they have a bigger market share althoug the CPC is a lot more dearer. You can target longer tailed keywords but you will ned a lot of these in order to convert.

You can also use other networds such as Yahoo which I have found to convert better than Adwords, but try and get an understanding of AdWords first. Good luck

Yes I agree. Try to master one technique first.

Start with one keyword per ad to begin with and take it slowly (and after you have done good research and watched the competition for a while and what ads keep staying)
