Everywhere you look there are advertisements. All of them are boasting about people making 100's of dollars by using Adwords to sell products. Added to this is the fact that they are only spending 2-3 hours per day. These ads want to persuade you that this is the norm and you too can easily make 100's per day by "just flipping on the switch of your computer.
The reality of the situation is that this is simply not true and a gross exaggeration of the facts. This is especially so for new business owners. There are myriads of things to take care of and it certainly cannot be crammed into 2-3 hours per day. If you face the truth it is a fact that an Adword campaign will actually be harder to manage than other promotions.
Consider this. Initially you will find popular keywords when you use Google's databse of keywords. By using the keywords that you might use for searching for your product you will get together a second list of keywords. lastly you will compare these keywords to Google's.
When you have all your keywords put together you will then start to bid on them. Now do not just write an email to Google offering them a certain amount of money in return for using specific keywords in your advertising campaign. This would be an unreal thing to do. Google has a far better system of bidding than this. Google positions ads and obviously the ads at the top will have the greatest exposure. These ads will be the moneymakers for Google, and you.
Adwords is a type of pay per click. Whenever somebody clicks through on your ad you will pay a small fee. You will be paying even if you do not make any sales. Google will make more money when the click through rate is high. The better the bid the higher the ad's position.
It is important to keep a close eye on your campaign, once you have completed the bidding and the ad is active. You will need to be aware of minute details, especially keyword popularity. Keyword popularity can fluctuate and unpopular keywords will not bring in the money.
Let's face it you will not make 100's a day just spending little or no time on your Google campaign. However on the other hand you will become a master at micro-management and multi tasking. When you perfect these skills you stand a good chance of joining the elite few who have made their businesses boom with this type of promotion.
With Google Adwords' tools and tutorials you will become a master of detailed management very quickly. This will enable you to spend less time managing your campaigns and more time finding ways to profit with your business.
