    A good way will be reading up some threads in this section than asking for help straight away.

    I don't like when people give vague answers or back handed statements to people. Granted he could have taken some initiative to look it up himself...

    Pick a product, PPC - go find out how to do keyword research, create a webpage that has the sales letter as well as a contact form, privacy statement, a blog with one or two throw away (or valuable) posts, and a few articles on the topic. Put a disclaimer next to any testimonials or just put ti there if you promise results because google won't allow you to just promise results.

    Read up on Google AdWords, there's plenty of information. Just be careful of what you're allowed to advertise and promote on AdWords. You can get banned very easily.

    There is plenty of information online about how to set up your ads. If you don't know how to look, simply google "google adwords tutorial" and browse through the results.
    Also, if you have the budget for it, you could easily hire someone to do this for you, someone who knows how to set things up so you'll see results.

    Google adwords and google adsense are two separate things.
    You earn money from google adsense. However, you should gain traffic from google adwords, which should lead to you earning money.

    To me just running a PPC campaign without learning the curve may put you in loss. It is recommended to learn how to start PPC to get the best out from each and every campaign you set out.

    As already mentioned without having any knowledge of PPC and putting money into it will just bring you only loss, so I would suggest you first learning from free resources and then trying with small scale and grow

    go watch some youtube videos, and list by last few months.

    I saw a guy who basically showed you how to set up a $100 a day campaign, quickly.

    Just saying. One can waist many hours on youtube, mostly monkeys farting or kids getting hurt style videos. LOL.

    If you plan to invet some money my advice is to buy one of Perry Marshall's courses - one of the best investment on the net.

    Then start reading the forum and start asking more specific questions...

    I suggest you research and learn about PPC through the threads, find a program/coach that will guide you, also implement as you go and ask alot of questions. Split test and optimize your results.

    Good luck

      Thanks
      Hi farhadankhi,

      I would beg to differ.

      I gather that you haven't yet been through those courses and video training sessions, right?

      The links to Google's AdWords support is probably the very best collection of resources and courses that you can find anywhere. Have you seen or heard of anything better than the thorough, accurate, useful, and well produced material Google has produced for learning PPC anywhere else... I didn't think so.

      I suggest you go through that material at least once before discounting the value and usefulness of what Google has developed.

        I strongly agree with Dburk. I started to go through the material. It is tops. And might I mention free. Really good value. The only think required is time.

        Thanks Dburk for pointing me in the direction of this resource.

    There are a few PPC platforms you can pursue, and the one you choose depends highly on what your content is :
    1)Facebook Ads ( suitable for introducing brand new products, that noone is looking for yet, meaning you will be targeting by peoples interests)

    2) Google Adwords ( suitable for selling high ROI products or high ticket items, perfect for targeting by keywords, meaning people are looking for what you are selling by keywords searched for)

    3) Youtube Videos ( Suitable for something that is enhance or is dependant on showing a video or an introductory video)

    4) Linkedin Ads ( Suitable for B2B products)

    First of all you need to see which one would fit you better and then start learning on that particular platform, it would save you a lot of time and money in the future.

    Goodluck!
