promoting affiliate offers with google adwords

I used to do this from 2007 until 2009 when Google started closing down Clickbank affiliate's Adwords accounts.

I'm pretty sure you can do this anymore. Not with Clickbank affiliate links anyway.

I always using a youtube video or blog post review to promote

Create a related and high-value lead magnet and drive the traffic to an opt-in landing page. You can then use the email list to promote related and valuable products.

That being said, I always recommend creating a long-term, high-value business and using affiliate marketing to monetize it later, rather than trying to make a little money through introducing products to people.

Alright, people are correct, but vague about what you should be doing with that. First, I'll give my personal opinion, take it how you want it, and then what I do to get around that.

My personal opinion on Google Adwords is that it's not the same as it used to be, and way too expensive for the new IM to be playing around with and loosing loads of money. If you have a lot to start with, by all means, go for it.

I prefer to use Bing Ads. Bing is now partnered with Yahoo, which makes up for a total of about 30% of the net market online. Google has about 67% of the net market.

Because Bing has less users(30% of 2.7 Billion people online is still HUGE!), there's less wasted clicks on your advertisements. This doesn't mean a higher conversion, necessarily, but just less wasted clicks.

Anyways, what I use on my small affiliate sites with offers and PPC;

I set up a website for the niche I'll be working in. I put in quality content related to the products I will be using for my offers in the niche.

Then I either create or get a free lead magnet. This can be as simple as write or find 3 ebooks in your niche that offers information that people either want or need, and offer them as a free bundle.

Too many people send PPC ads straight to a squeeze page that just says "To get access to (what you were advertising), first enter your name and email, and you'll be taken to your product" or whatever. Just very simple and gives no reason for them to enter that information. This will cause a HUGE percent of bounce rates, and eat up your PPC funds.

So like I said, send them to an offer page with a solid lead magnet that offers them something FREE that is very close to what they were initially wanting to find from the search engines, such as Google or Bing.

Then set up an autoresponder that first, thanks them for downloading/subscribing to the free offer and hope that it serves them well for their purpose, and secondly, has an offer with your affiliate link.

The best part about this is 3 things:
1. You build a list quickly that already has a positive outlook on you and how you give them quality stuff for free.
2. You can cloak your Affiliate Link and offer any products you want with your own list.
3. If you offer 4 free, informative, helpful emails to 1 sale offer you advertise, people will find value in you and your emails, which increases opens and click throughs, and with your list, it's all free traffic to your offer!

And then of course, make sure to always keep new, helpful content on your website, and never try to sound like a salesman. Just offer them free stuff that they are searching for and then send them product offers in the back end afterwards through your email list.

You should NEVER send PPC traffic straight to an affiliate offer. You paid for those clicks, so you need to keep as many of those emails for yourself as you can, so that you don't have to constantly buy new traffic!

After a few months, you'll have a solid list, all ready to buy from what you're offered, and that's all she wrote.

I don't see why people have a hard time making money online. It's simple if you just put in the work and do your research, and implement things as you learn them.

Hope this helps, and cheers to your success!

This is a very bad idea.
To do this, typically you need a full built out website that has several functional pages with unique content (aka a real website). if you don't have this, Google will ban your account very quickly.

If you want to start learning affiliate marketing with ppc, i'd recommend starting with bing or 7search.

Creating Blog(content), Comparison Websites(Shopping), Coupon Sites, Videos and Tutorials in Niche you wanted to sale as affiliate.
Getting good Organic Traffic and then Promoting this Sites through Adwords may result good in getting conversions.
