Hi everyone,

My client wants us to start doing adsense for his business, I have no idea about it and need pointing to some course that I can use.

Every course I have seen so far is to build a website to have adsense on it, but my client wants to be on an advertiser.

Please help

    Its adwords you should be researching for, not adsense.

    Why does your client think that you could provide an adwords management service in the first place? Seems weird that someone would just presume you could do something, unless you had told them you could.

    Does that client have a wooden spoon?

    Why would anyone hire someone that doesn't even know the difference between Adsense & Adwords?

    Do you guys read? He obviously says he already had this client who is now requesting an additional service. Maybe the client wants to keep working with someone he already trusts instead of taking a chance on someone the client doesn't know.

      ...or it could backfire when the client realizes he took on a job that he doesn't know how to do or even what it's called. There's no shame in rejecting offers.

      Yeah it took me a while, and a re-run of that movie to know what he was saying. But since then, that phrase has really stuck in my head. Its very "catchy".

    or you guys are jumping on him too quickly, he could very well be just a programmer who helped design/create a website for a client.

    and the client asked for an additional service that he don't know that's why he came here to this forum and ask about it.

      Sure, could be a few other reasons too. But let's put it down to experience, that my first assumption about his situation will be correct 99% of the time.

      I do SEO, I don't do Adwords Management. If a client where to ask me "can you do our Adwords Management?" I would say "No I don't know how do that, but I know someone who does, let me get you their number".

      I would not go running around looking for some crash course just to be a jack of all trades for them. Honesty, is the first line of trust building in business.

      Advertising (Adwords) is a profession in its own right, and if left to any Tom, Dick and Harry with a $27 e-book to do. Could cost a company a shitload of wasted money.

        I still just sit back and laugh when I see people taking clients,
        coming here, asking for help, clueless,...

        Everybody and their brother thinks they can just do IM, SEO,
        etc. by coming to the WF....

        That just sucks for clients and real people doing real stuff.

        Yes, caught catfishing! ROTFLMAO!

          This happens all the time in the freelance community. Clients wanting "all around" virtual assistants so they gamble in paying their VAs to learn new skills while on the job. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

          I give the OP props for even trying. We all have to start somewhere. In fact, all these experts where ones newbies at some point in their lives.

            WOW...are you serious guys? you really can judge anyone here?
            you know..i'm such a newbie in this marketing world, but let's face it..you have been in my position to. None of you have been born by knowing all.maybe you have come here and ask for some help to, but now you are the Big-Guys and just blame people that try to make a money.

            I don't see where is the problem if the owner of this threat don't know a thing about Adwords, and confuse it with Adsense! AT LEAST HE TRY TO LEARN SOMETHING, so is clear that he don't want just to rip-off that money from the client.

            Maybe we must help others more and stop blame them because they ask for help and want to learn.


            Thanks and sorry, but i this situation more and more...few guys really answer to question and the rest just come and make jokes around. I can bet that half of the guys that make jokes have not make any money before!
            Enjoy your smart life!

                I agree with Kevin here. It's fine if he wants to learn a new craft, but he should not be honing his skills on the customer's dime.

                  A good few years back, I did a 30 hour course on it. I've got the patience of a cat when it comes to learning. But I was left more confused after then I was before.
                  You need good natural skills also in sales copy writing, somethings that's hard to teach.
                  I heard the Adwords Cert exam is pretty tough also.
                  I'm far too old for that shit.

    What's BS is when someone ask how to do PPC & later another forum member will act like PPC is easy, it's not easy, it can drain a wallet fast for simple optimization mistakes. IMO PPC is more complicated than organic SEO.

    I suggest you create a Google Adwords account and then read all their help pages about Google display advertising.

    Here's some links to get started:

    Display Network ? Google Ads
    Build Your Ads ? Display Network ? Google Ads
    https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/117120?hl=en

    If you read and understand those pages, you will know more than 90% of people on this forum

    A search for Google Display ads in Youtube may also be useful
    Google Display ads - YouTube

    Good luck
