8 Secrets that the Internet Gurus Usually Won't Leak Out...

By Trisha Frauenhofer

I was shocked when I first saw the free preview video on how to make a lot of money with Google Adwords. I had no idea that I was doing it all wrong from the get go. As some of may know, Google can be a great way to make a lot of money fast but you better know what you're doing.

Many Internet Sales gurus are selling all kinds of programs costing a ton of money that show you how to do the basics but always seem to leave the golden nuggets out. For example, when get a Google Adwords account and start to set up your campaign, you were not told about what type of Ad to set up. The Search Network is what most people will choose because they don't know better.

A big problem that 99.9% of people placing ads on the net these days is how to make theirs stand out amongst the millions of others. One cool trick that I learned is that you can have your Titles stand out by using the copy write symbol. This is OK with Google and is very appropriate on some ads.

A not so uncommon mistake you might make when setting up an Adwords campaign is that you forget to narrow down your target market. Most successful internet marketers specialize and you need to target the right audience or you will end up spending loads of money for nothing.

When building your Adwords Ad your URL needs to stand out. One great way to do that is by using dashes. For example, thisisabadexample of a URL. This-is-a-good-example of a Website name. Usually dashes are not very attractive but in this case, it really can make your ad stand apart.

The biggest obstacle to being successful with affiliate or any type of internet marketing is what to market, where to market, how to market, and who to market to. This is where some thought is needed. You need to consider time of year, what's hot, who is buying this. Without an answer to these questions you are bound to fail and have spent a fair amount of money for nothing.

One huge frustration that can come up when you're making online money is getting paid. A lot of us have been mislead and ripped off when it come to collecting money that you earned. You may think that getting a merchant or PayPal account will solve the problem. Think again. Both methods have ties to your bank account and you have to be real careful with how you set these up. Luckily, I have found a great service which always pays on time and with a check. This is Clickbank.

There are probably more things to sell on the internet, then there are stars in our solar system. The problem most marketers have is which ones are really worth your time and effort. Which ones will pay off is a good question as well. What you need is a service that is the middle man between you and all of the sites out there. Without this, you really can get lost and have lots of problems. Somebody needs to have done the math for you to make sure your commissions are high enough and that these products are actually paying off. Its a lot better to mimic something that is working than trying to experiment on your own.
